-Would- Signal ° Mars by"
Flashing Light.
Dr. A. • M. Low, an English inventor,
believes, it possible to get 'into com-
munication with Mars by means of
light signalling. '
`There are steveral known chemical
• means of producing a light screen of
sufficient size which wet id Ida long
enough to be noticed by the Martians,
if ,such exist," he said. "I think' a
-suitable screen could be set out on a
high altitude by airplanes., to eliminate
as farr as possible the effect of Mr and
clouds, which combine to make diffi-
cult any observation of the earth it-
self. ;
Dr.. Low considers, wireless waves
less practical, as they travel in curves,
snaking it difficult to gauge the target.
--He holds it ludicrous to expect to find
the Martians,' life similar to our own.'
"Some years ago we thought .that
- animals and -plants Were the only
things' which: lived," he said, "but now
we know there is life in everything. I
have never s.aen anything yet which
Was not.alive.
"The Martians might be able to see
by heat waves,. A small difference in
our physical makeup -would rcvolutian-
ize our world and ideas of living. If we
were born with eyes having only
slightly different lenses to normal we
,would see the aiir around as full of
life and our bath water a mass of hor-
s
rilJle looking creatures,"
• Dr. Low disagrees with those who
assert the Martians are, more ad-
vaneed than earthings. "If they were,
they would have found some means
ere this of communicating with us," he
said.,

A FINE COMPLEXION

the Blood Rieh hied Pure.
A girl's complexion ,is something,
more than a matter of concern to her
vanity. It lien indication of the state
orher health. ;Pallor in a growing girl
means a thinning of the blood, l7rup-
tions mean imiiuritiea in the blood.
Mothers should be watchful of their
daughters' complexions and see to it
that these signs are correoted—not
covered up.

pale and sallow; especially if, at the
same time, she shows an inclihatlon

When. Tin. Catches Cold.
You would scarcely suspect a metal
such as tin of being able to catch cold,
but it can do so for all that. In coun-
tries like Northern Russia all sorts of
utensils, are apt to ;become useless in
winter time.
A tiny greyish spot makers its acap-
pearance on th .surfe of the tin. It
grows' in size, an ten others appear.
In course of time the metal crumbles
into a dark -colored; powder.
Some years ago•a whole shipload of
blocks of •tin, stored in the Customs
House of Petrogradduring the winter,
was found the following spring to have
crumbled into dust.
What really happens. is that the coed.;
causes tin to chane from one of its.
forms to, another. Tin is often found
in mines in the grey powder farm
which is quite 'useless. When it is
heated it turns, . into a well-known
shiny metal, but under the influence
of cold it may return to its other form.
Finger prints of criminals are sent
by telegraph all 'over Italy by a simple
invention, involving the use of from.

unlike newts', have been made to

Measuring Things You Can-

We are accustomed to bearing of
measurements of tremendous die -
,
such as those between the
hearth ;and some of the stars, which
:run into thousands of billions•.of miles.
But what do you think of measuring
sdcurately the 500,000,000th part of an
inch? •
.The most accurate of ordinary in-
s!tiiiments can measure the 600,000,
000th part of a mile, which is leen than:
three 10.000thst of an inch. To mea-
sure the 500;000;000th part of an inch
an instrument must be 50,000 •times
more delicate. yet it has been done.
The appIianoe used is nothing- like

Royalty Gets a Diploma.
When the Wharton School of Busi-
nessadministration at the University
of Peunsyivania. held its graduating
exercises this summer 'many foreign
students: received diplomas and none
showed more pride an the hard won
bit of sheepskin than a scion of Orien-
tal royalty, Vara ,Virakorn,'who .`is a
cousin of tthe. IiingSlams.
By very ancient tra:'of- dition the busi-
ness activities• of royal persons have
been limited to the narrow but not
unfruitful fields of :imposing taxes or
receipting ,for •th.e contents of the
privy burse voted them by their ador-
ing subjects. Common. report` has it
that Siamese royalty has also kept up
a herd. of white elephants to let off its
excess energy.
Whether Virakorn will stick to the
good bid day when he gets back to
Bangkok, or branch but for himself in
same‘new line, has not been indicated.

arch has 'a ,good many cousins to keep
up, and :that the young graduate's
