which causes any disappointment to
democrats is the aggregate of the ap-
propriations made, but when the
trouble is taken to analyze the situa
tion it will be seen that many millions
of the money appropriated was called
for by previous legislation for which
the democratic House was in
responsible—Senator Gorman places it
at $60,000,000, Thefsame Senator
called attention to the fact it will be
necessary under the present laws to
make the pension appropriation to be
made at the next session of Congress
al least $2,000,000 larger than the enor-
mous one passed at the late session,
and that other large expenditures will
have to be made, which will in his
opinion, make it necessary for Con-
gress to levy other and additional taxes
in order to raise the money.
Representative Dockery, of the Ap-
propriation committee, has been study-
ing up the Pension question, and he
thinks that the annual appropriation
will continue to increase for at least
six years to come, and that by that
time the annual expenditure for pen-
sions will be quite $225,000,000, Mr.
Dockery, like others has to give up
the conundrum when asked where
this money is to come from after pay-

SIGNALING MARS.
An English Professor Suggests a Plan for
Communicating With the Planet,
Professor Francis Galton, F. R. 8.,
F. G. 8, chairman of the committee
in charge of the Kew Observatory, has
written a letter to the London Vmies
relative to a scheme for establishing

Mr. Galton declares that a beam of
sunlight reflected through a hole one

seen as a faint glint at a distance of
ten miles. The amount of fog and haze
which a beam of light would traverse
between the earth and Mars when
the latter is high above the horizon,
Mr. Galton says, could not exceed that
along an earthly ten mile base, There.
