"Another difficulty would be in send ing a message with sufficient power to cover tho tremendous distance of inter htellar space," he explained, "and I have read that a singlo message of that sort, even If it could be sent, would in volve n great expense. Send Out Single Dots 'Die first step fh the proposed plan of communication with Mars would bo to send out single dots at regular intervals throughout tho first day, concluding with the word "one" in the dots and dashes of the Morte sjstcm.

This system will bo continued until all the numbers up to ten had been exhausted, ten days having been devoted to the ten-fold dots, until at the twenty third hour of the tenth dnv of this scries the word "ten" was spelled. It is contended that unless the per sons who rcccivo these arithmetical messages are incomprehensibly dull, it will bo forced upon them that whover Is sending tho signals is merely counting up to ten, and the dot nnd dash nt the end of each scries ho will undoubtedly assume to be the name of tho pnrtlcular scries which it-concludes. The recipient of such a message would naturally reply in much the snme way, giving tho Martian equivalent of the name of the arithmetical scries. With this as a basis, the hope, not entirely unfounded, would be to build un a more complete intcrworld code that would load to definite communication. Professor Miller would not comment on the chances of success of such n plan, even if Mars were found to be inhabited and If strong enough mes sages could bo sent to that planet.
