Mystery When Planet Is

New York. The secret of Mars may
bo read In 1021 when the red planet
makes Its closest approach to earth,
although astronomers nre skeptical of
the theory of Marconi that the Mar
tians are signaling us by wireless,
nnd take no stock In the GO-foot whirl
ing dish of quicltsllver which It Is
promised will magnify the power of
vision to 25,000,000 times Its normal
Etrength.
In 1,2-1 Mars will come within about
1)5,000,000 miles of the earth. ISe
causo of Its eccentric orbit, compared
to the more nearly circular one of the
enrth, Mars approaches that close only
onco In fifteen years.
In 1024 observatories will he much
better equipped to study Mnrs than
they were In 1000, when the planet last
appeared nt Its biggest and reddest In
our sky. In 1021 Mara will be 'the
cynosure of telescopes all over the
earth. The 100-inch Hooker telescope
nt Mt. Wilson, and the marvelous
Instruments nnd methods for analyz
ing light which are In uso there, may
definitely solvo the question whether
Mars Is Inhabited.
As tho distance of Mars from the
earth varies from 3.",000,000 to 284.
000,000 miles, tho wireless signals from
that planet, If there nru any, will have
n better chanco to register In 1024
over tho comparatively brief span of
1)5,000,000 miles.
Those "Signals" From Mara.
For tho last 20 years JIars has
been reported frequently to be at
tempting to signal to us by wireless
j-uys, by flashes of light, and even, ac
cording to some Imaginative ppecu
latlsts, by writing sign messages of
lanet-wlde size over the latitudes by
means of the Mars canal system. It
hns oven been suggested that we nc
(tnowledgo receipt by forming words
In vegetation over the blank of tho
Bnhnra desert.
The Murconl wireless communica
tion theory Is more plausible than
any of tho others, because that great
Inventor reports that he has picked
up wireless waves 100 miles long,
while the greatest produced on earth
by artificial means are about ten
miles long. Many ways of explain
ing this hnvu occurred to skeptics, but
tho .Marconi signals have more In
them to Interest conservative scien
tists than any of tho previous types.
There was a sensation in 1000 when
It was reported that signaling from
Mars had been detected at the Lowell
Observatory at I'MugstnfT, Ariz, This
was based on u misunderstanding of
li telegraph message concerning some
projected lights over tho rim of Mars. '
Instead of presenting a perfect out
line, Mars showed slight excrescences ,
of light. These were calculated to !
bo from 17 to 110 miles above the sur- '
face of the planet. .
Similar Projections From Moon. j
Similar Isolated projections of light
had been seen on the moon, hut this
was onully discovered to be tho' sun-'
light tipping the mountain tops, an !
pfi'oct visible on earth In mountain
ous country when the rlsln.: sun gilds I
the summits when tho lower .parts '
of the mountains and the valleys are '
still In darkness,
Hut Mars has no mountains, ac-!
cording to general agreement among
observers. It was believed also to bo
almost cloudless. Tho occasional
high lights, however, are now agreed
to have beer, du.ids which are thought
to occur, though somewhat rarely.
Electric currents which apparently
wander through eternity hit the earth
hero ami there, causing a mysterious
hissing and crackling In wireless ap
paratus and sometime, upsetting hu
man electrical contrivances, as the
Kreat magnetic storm of hint May did
-
on nn unprecedented scale. Such cur
rents, called "strays" or "atmosphe
rics," have been occasionally Inter
preted as signals from Mars, when
they came with a regularity that
seemed to be directed by n human
Intelligence. But they havo been
shown most unmistakably to be con
nected with sun spots.
The scheme, attributed to D. Dnvld
Todd of Amherst, a well-known as
tronomer, of using a great abandoned
mine shaft in Chile for the making of
a .colossal telescope, has been the sub
ject of no little scientific discussion.
This shaft, which is said to have u
00-foot diameter, Is located near the
equator. It Is, therefore, In the pi'nne
on which the earth and all the other
planets whirl round the sun. The
shuft telescope has tho disadvantage
that It could never be shifted, and
could only be used for that part of
the heavens which passes over It. But
It Is calculated that Mars will pass
directly over It when It becomes n big,
red disk In 1021.
Many Astronomers Scoff.
Many astronomers have scoffed at
the theory of such a colossal tel
escope, alleging that If the mechani
cal difficulties could be overcome the
enormous magnification sought would
be useless, because tho observer woidd
see nothing but a blur. On n small
scale, Dr. Ilobert Williams Wood of
Johns-Hopkins had built a practical
concave-mirror telescope on Long
Islnnd by rotating a basin of mercury
until the liquid mctul shaped Itself Into
the proper concavity. There are
limits to Its use, however, according
to astronomers. If the attempt Is
made to build the abandoned mine tel
escope. The greatest telescopes now In use
.sometimes achieve a power of 3,000
times ns great as that of tho unaided
vision. This Is only when the state
of the atmosphere Is at Its best. Or
dinarily astronomers have to bo con
tent with nluch less, sometimes with
a magnification of 200 or 300.
"The ntmosphere fixes nn outside
limit of magnification," snld Dr. Frank
Schlesslnger, director of tho Yale ob
servatory. "Limitless magnifying
powers could not be used. Telescopes
will probnbly be made larger than at
present for uso on mountain tops and
especially favorable locations, but tho
tendency Is to lose In distinctness ns
magnifying power Increases. Event
ually the object gazed on becomes a
blur, ns If seen through n heat haze.
Only through great instruments like
that at Mount Wilson, nnd then only
under most favorable conditions have
objects magnified ns much ns 3,000
times been seen with an unblurred
vision.

Huge Buck Deer
Attacks an Auto
Plttsfleld, Mass. With both
headlights smashed'and the mud
guards of his automobile bent,
Walter C. Itochelo of this city
says his car was attacked by a
great buck, estimated to weigh
400 pounds. Itochelo was pro
ceeding toward Plttsfleld when
he snw tho herd of deer In the
road. Four bucks nnd three
does jumped to one side, but'fhe

tor, would magnlty 25,000,000 times,
which would bring Mars optically with
in a mile and a half of the earth. At
lirst thought this would seem to give
the astronomers n sight of Mars equiv
alent to that which an air pilot ob
tains of the enrth as he flies a mile
and n half above it. At that height
an airman could see cities, towns and
Individual buildings, farms, orchards
and a thousand marks of the nctlvlty
of man. Under the same advantages
an astronomer would soon know all
about Mars, where the creations of In
telligent beings nre believed to ex
ist on a much grander scale thnu on
earth.
But here a dllllculty arises. The
airman is unconscious of the rota
tion of the earth, because gravity pulls
the earth and air and tho airplane
with a uniform motion. On the other
hand, If Mars were brought within a
mile nnd n half of the earth It would
be whirling so rnpldly that the fea
tures of the landscape would be lost
to the eye, ns are- markings on tho
propellers of nn airplane revolving at
full speed.
If a magnification of 25,000,000
times or anything like It could be ac
complished the observer could only see
a small patch of J Cars. Mars rotates
Its 12,000-mile circumference once In
a little more than 21 hours, so that
at Its equator It Is making a speed
of about ten miles- a minute, or about
flvo times the speed of n racing car.
If the observers- were content with see
ing Mnrs 15 miles off, the portion vis
ible to them would still bo streaming
past the telescope nt the rate of a
mile a minute.
A camera of Instantaneous action
might take pictures at this speed on
enrth, but It could not bo made on
Mors. A, magnification of 25,000,000
times would mean that the light of
Murs would bo diluted to ono twenty-nvo-mnilonrli
part of Its brightness In
the sky, which would not be ndequato
for rapld-flro photography or even for
ordinary vision.
