THE PEOPLE IN M
CtAnadian Selentiats Are; Sceptical
About Signalling Them.
"Preakfasting in Mars," May be a
popular summer pastime- tor the
Canadian generation of 1a5a.
Prof. Davis Todd, of Amherst Col-
lege, is planning to ascend at Fort
Omaha in an American army balloon,
in a serious attempt to communicate
with the fiery planet by some sort of
wireless instruments that he has been
perfecting for a number of years. In
the report the professor is credited
with the statement tkat he believes
that his attempt will be successful,
if he can reach a height of. 30,000
feet. Six year ago, with Capt. Sterv-
ees as his pilo, he attained 22,000
feet.
Sir Frederick Stapart, of Toronto,
thinks that Mars may be inhabited,
but he is credulous about our com-
municating with them. "In the first
place I question whether Prof. Todd
ever saicl mate what is attributed to
him-," he saii in an interview. "I
don't imagine that we'll be communi-
cating with. Mars in the near future.
I don't think I have ever met Prof.
Todd, but he's one of the well-known
Aneerican astronomers. I can't con-
ceive that he will get to the height,
and, if he doe e what is he, a poor
mortal that has to use oxygen to
breathe at their height, going, to do
.witli ether waives? How do we know
that the people in Mars; if there.are
people there, as are aavanced as far
as we are in natural Science?"
Prof. Chat, of Termite University,
who has been interested in Mars also
for many years, stated that he knows
Prof. Todd. "He's -W little sensation-
al," he said. "I can't go as far as he
does. I acknowledge the existence of
scene markings, practically the same
as Prof. Lowell discovered and photo-
graphed, but I think their conclu-
sions are based on insufficient data."
Prof. Chant looked up his tables to
see just how far Mars was away from
the earth at the present time. "Just
2m000.000 miles," he said. But
every two years and two mopths, it
is only about 35,500,000 or 36,000,-
000 away. Like Frederick Stupart,
he is sceptical of any communication
With the Martians.
He gage his opieion of Marconi's
announcement a little -while age, that
be had had odd effects in his instru-
ments that might have been messages
from Maes, as "a little wild." "It Is
a little harsh to condemn these
things. but that proposition of Mar-
coni's looks to me like a wild dream,"
8aid Prof. Chant. "Marconi believes
that, just as we receive other waves
(light) from the stars so should the
Martians receive our long ether
waves film us. One nuist remember,
though, that the radiation would be
out into space, while now, after all is
said the wireless messages that we
send are for only a few thousand
miles, and the energy is guided by
the surface of the earth. Marconi
proposes to send a message like this
(pi use) — (longer pause) --.m ean-
in g, "two and two are four," but sup-
p(rie the Martians do not understand
a -end why should they?"
Marconi's scheme is insignificant
from the picturesque point of view
when compared with that of James
G. 'Thompson, an American engineer,
leased on the investigations of the
French scientists, Prof. Etehegoyen,
in theSahara desert. Thompson's
scheme is nothing lees than to con-
struct a huge triangular diagram on
the desert, of Sahara large enough
for the Martians to see. This he
would do by three great eana.IS, with
their angular points at Sfax, on the
Tunisian Gulf, at Ell Abbas. in the
heart of the desert, and at Nenous,
not far east of the Southern Coast
of Africa from Gibraltar,- where it
amine he connected with tile Medi-
terran.ean Sea. The hypotenuse of
this mighty triangle would streta
for a thousand miles ffom Ell Abbas
to Sfax., He goes further, and sug-
gcsts that the triangle should be
generated on the z.anals. The Mar-
tiztns, who are great mathematicians,
would recognize the 42nd proposition
of TucIid, and communicate in its
t ftrins.

LOTTERY LOAN MAKES 800
MILLIONAIRES
How would you like to be a million-
aire? There is no need for an
answer, unless you already happen
to be one. If -yoti desire strongly
enough to have a million, and will
run far enough after it, you have a
straight gambling • chance for it by
*moving to Germany. Ah, that is the
"but" in the case. Who would want,
to go to Germany for the sake' of
being a millionaire ?.Only those whose
gambling instintt dominates every
other desire. They. say that in Ber-
lin and other large, German cities
every night there are thousands of
great gambling dens going full
blast, at which millions of marks
are won and lost. These gambling
dens are the resort of men and wo-
men alike, and there is a great fe-
ver among those with money to try
their luck. The German Govern-
ment needs money. desperately, and
seeing this huge, ruinous gambling
mania, asked itself why it could not
have some State gambling. It de-
cided to have a great lottery loan,
Which would make ten millionaires
each year. To induce subscriptions
on a large scale, in spite of the ruin
of -tire country, it has begun a loan
fashion that has 'since spread' - th
France, and. has even a large follow-
ing in Britain.
Germany's new lottery loan is the
most gigantic .thing the world has'
ever seen. Who would not put a few
marks in it on the chance of be-
coming a millionaire, one of the
ten to be made each year? It is safe
betting that French, Dutch, and
English money will find a way into
Germany to run that chance: The
loan is to be for an amount of five
billion marks, or not much more
than a billion dollars. Lists were
open fdr subscription at the begin-
ning of this month, and will close.
next week. The bonds that are to be
taken will be for eighty- years,„ ---the
longest period any nation has dared
to stipuiate—and may be paid for
one-half in cash and one-half in
bonds of other war loans. Each
year there is to be drawing for
bonds for redemption, and in the
first forty years about three billion
marks will be repaid. But the sur-
prising feature is that there is to
be no interest, or at least a return
bearing the name. There is to be a
bonus of five per cent. per annum
but payment of this, is witheld un-
til the bonds are drawn and, paid,
when the bonushis paid also. A bond
drawn for repayment at the end of
the first year will ben entitled to a
bonus, or interest of fifty marks. At
the end of five years the bonus would
be 250 marks.
There is no interest on the de-
ferred payment of interest, and this
means that on the whole sum paid in,
there is an accumulation of inter-
est for the Government. This fund
is the reservoir from which the ten
millionaires are to be created each
year. As the interest on five billion
marks at five per cent. would be
twenty-five million marks, most of
it deferred, there would be ample
to allow for the payment of ten mil-
lions to ten individuals, especially
as in the course of time, interest
upon the interest would aceumulate.
But the German financial genius
that monceived this scheme would
go further. Twice each year there
are to be lottery drawings, at which
there will be 2,500 prizes, with to-
tal prize money of 25,000,000 marks.
The maximum is five prizes of a
million marks each and the lowest
is a thousand prizes of a thousand
marks each. In addition to this,
every second certificate or bond
drawn for repayment gets a bonus
of a thousand marks if drawn dur-
ing the first thirty yeas's,. two thous-
and marks if drawn during the en-
suing ten -years, and four thousand
marks if drawn during the last forty
years. That is, fifty-eight per cent.,
of the certificates can receive prizes
and bonus, apart from interest, while
he total! prize money distributed
through the eighty year period will
amount to four billions for lottery
drawings, and five and threesquer-
ter billions for bonus on every sec-
ond certificate. That is nearly ten
billion marks.
Surely this is gambling with a
vengeance. To get a national loan
of five billion marks, during eighty
years, the nation will repay, be-
sides principal, nearly ten billions in
prizes. Up to 25,000 Marks, hold-
ings of the loan are exempt from
succession duty taxes, and profits
from prizes are exempt from income
taxes. The ten millionaires each
year will feel chesty when they es-
cape income taxes, when everyone
else is paying everything but a liv-
ing cost to the State. Any old sub-
scriber has the right, after twenty
years, to call for payment of bonds,
but there will be a. discount of ten
per cent. on them. This gigantic

TRIBULATIONS OF ALMANAC
EDITORS
It has been said in the past that
whenever the end of the world ar-
rives' the last • institution to acknow-
ledge it will be the Almanach de
Gotha, observes the New York Time.
But that assertion will have to be re-
vised. The 1919 edition of this ancient
and honorable compendium of infor-
mation is now atThand, an edition
compiled while the greater part of
the world with, which it was concern-
ed was going to pieces. And it seems
probable that when the heavens are
reined up like a scroll and the earth
is dissolved into nebulous vapor the
Almanach de Gotha will come out
the next year with as full informa-
tion as can be obtained about what-
ever universe may have succeeded
• this one, togeSkeir with polite apol-
ogies for any ueavoidable deficiencies.
The editorial preface this year de-
clares mournfully that never in its
existence of a Century and a half
has the Alfnanach de Gotha been
faced with such difficulties as beset
the editors in the preparation of this,
the 156th volume. To the interrup-
tion of mails, making it impossible to
get news from countries with which
Germany was at war, was added
"internal convulsions caused by ev-
ents." "After inserting three new ar-
ticles—Poland, Finland, Ukraine—we
found it necessary to do almost every-
thing over again. event e in the theatre
of war having changed once more the
aspect of alrhost all of Europe as it
once was." Further, the dismember-
ment of Austria and the transforma-
tion of the 22 States of the German
Empire into republics came just as a
great part of the Almanach was going
to press, an incOnvenience to the ed-
tor0 which the revolutionists would
surely have avoided if they had
thought of it. Apologies are offered
for "inevitable inexactitudes," and the
only thing that consoles the editors is
the fact that no other annual in the
world could have escaped the same
difficulties.
Nevertheless, they have done what
they could, and point to their ac-
complishments 'not without pride. "We
have been able to add' an article on the
traffic through the- Panama Canal,
which will serve hereafter for com-
parison ;with te traffic through the
Suez Canal„ another great ocean
route, though in another hemisphere."
And so, "with the coming of peace
a new era begins. The Almanach re-
alizes this and sees new duties laid
upon it. We hope that the future
will be ,propitious for our :work."
More power to the Almanach, as
colloquial persons would say. And- it
begins well by correcting * appar-
ent inconsistency of past editions.
The distinguished . William Hohen-
zollern has hitherto appeared in the
Almanach as Emperor of Germany,
a title °wholly unknown to the Con-
stitution. Now that his glory is de-
parted, he is set down as "formefty
German Emperor, King of Prus-
sia," and so on. The reason for this
belated confromity to a :provision of
the Gentan •Conetitution forced into
it by particularists of the smaller
States is uncertain, but the principal
thing about William is the "formerly."
And this same word qualifies all the 1
other ex -sovereigns of the German t
States; the history of each family is e

IME In farin wOrk will be
saved by systematically
overhauling the impleinents
and machinery. This should
be done after the season's work is
over. Use tends to disorganize
machinery: the fixed parts become
loose through vibration, wear, stress,
and strain; bearings, gears, joints,,,
all bright' and moving parts are at-
tacked by rust, particularly if left
out ia the weather; oil holes and
grease cups become clogged with
gummed oil, dust and trash. All
this acenmulated matter should be
scraped off and the parts wiped down
with a rag saturated with kerozene;
afterward covered with a coating ot.
grease or oil as a protective measure
against the devasting action of rust.
To render efflaient service and to pre-.
vent possible accidents these ma-
chines should be kept clean; properly
adjusted. and run at correct speed.
The grain .grinder shaft and bear-
ings should not be allowed to become
gummed up -with oil and dust: the
burrs or plates should be renewed
when worn. In replacing them see
that they are attached so that they
do not wobble, and that the sieves
are free from rust, chaff, sand and
gritty matter. All running parts
should be kept well oiled.
Every working mechanism of the
cutting box should be carefully exam-
ined and all trash and gummed oil
removed from flywheel shaft, feed
rolls, bearings and gears; guards and
shields placed in position and secure-
ly fixed; the feed rolls should move
freely up and down and the safety
devices in working order. Attend 'to
the cutter knives, have them properly
ground and correctly adjusted to the
fiy-wheel in relation to the cutter bar;
if too far the fodder will not be pro-
perly cut; if too close to the cutter
bar the draft of the machine is in-
creased, the knives acting as a brake
on the flywheel, dulling both knives
and cutter bar. Used with a blower
it is important that the proper speed
be developed as tne fan can only
create sufficient blast by running fast
enough to force air through the pipe
at a rate of 9 to 10 thousand feet
per Minute. Speed is an important
factor in operating these machines
for efficient service, not only as to
the amount done, but aLso as to the
quality, or the amount of work
'accomplished, but most manufac-
turers state in their catalogues the
speed at which the machine should'
travel. The operator should figure
out the Size of the pulley to attain
the speed required.
The rule for speeds of pulleys is
the diameter of the "driving" pulley
multipliedby its speed is equal to
the diameter of the "driven" multi-
plied by its speed: or D X R dXr
In which "D" is the diameter of the
driving pulley multiplied by "R" its
speed, and "d" the diameter of the
driven pulley multiplied by "r" its
speed. If we know three of these
fourth.
shwe can easily figure out the
rt,
The driving pulley is the one that
causes the belt to move.
The driven pulley is the one that
is moved by the belt.
Possibly a farmer may 1 -;:lave on
hand an engine rated- 2 h.p., speed
400 revolutions per minute with an
8 -inch pulley. He buys a grinder
without considering Ivhat relation its
speed bears to that of his engine.
When the grinder is hitched up to
the engine it does not deliver the
capacity expected of it. This promis-
cuous buying and want of fore -
though in purchasing maehinet7 is
responsible for a great deal of trou-
ble and dissatisfaction. More at-
tention should be given in this re-
gard when buying additional math-
inery for the 'farm. We'll suppose
that the grinder bought is rated 2,000.
to 2,500 R.P.M., 4 inch or 5 inch
pulley; capacity per hour 3 to 10
bushels depending on the condition of
the grain.
Relating this grinder to the engine,
we find, taking the above formula that
x tioo
B8 x R 400--d4 x r--8 -- SCO
4
R.P.M., but the manufacturer's rat-
ing calls for 2,000 to 2,500 R.P.M.
Hence the grinder is delivering only
two-fifths of its rated. capacity or
something like 1. 1 -5th bushelS per
hour. To , get the required speed
the driving pulley on the engine
should be 20 inches in diameter,
worked out as follows:
DxR 400—d4 x 11000=. 5-.,-..20" pulley,

The difficulties under which the •
editors got out the issue during the
turmoils of last winter may be
judged from the article on the Uk-
raine, which gives the functionaries
of the Government under the Hetman,
Pavlo Skoropadski, but adds in a foot-
note: "According to news of Decem-
ber 15th, 1918, the Hetman had abdi-
cated and the Cabinet 'has been dis-
missect" And it is the same old,
Almanach, with the same old passion

Something About Egg Circles.
There are about fifty Egg Circles
In the province, ranging in member-
ship all the way from four to 400.
The story of all these egg circles and
others which have failed would give
an almost complete picture of how
co-operation should, or should not,
be carried on. In reading over the
names where the circles are estab-
lished, we find many of them whose
previous market was the small-town
local dealer, with his uneconomic
method of marketing eggs. Such cir-
cles are now receiving, in spite or
their distance from the central mar-
ket, wholesale prices while unorgask-
Ised points nearer often receive low-
er pricee.
