SUPER RADIO STATIONI

SIGNAL AROUND: THE-KARTH.

It will be possible toʻsigual around: the world from, the super wireless station to be located on the north share of Long Island, a abort distance east of Port Jeterson. The plant wHi-be-five times as powerful as those at Naven, Germany, and Bordeams, France. The enterprise is being Conducted by the Radio Corporation of America, and will be known as the New York radio central station Messages will be sent and received simultaneously from five great nations of other continents. Steel towers will arise on a 6,400-acre tract, com prising nearly ten square milles of land, with a long frontage on Long Island Sound. The preliminary engineer- ing studies have been completed, contracts for all the construction

materials are being let and a force of radio experts, after months of pre- paration, will immediately take the big task in hand.

There will be five complete trans- mittera each one a duplex unit, with corresponding receiving station located nearby. All five transmit ters and the five receivers will operate simultaneously, and will transmit

and receive messages over thousands of miles continuously during the day and night.

As soon as the station is completed Immediate message service will be established with France and Ger many. to supplement the existing ultimately, commercial circuits;

radio from this station will connect up Buenos Aires and other points in South America, and either wave messages will be fashing to and from Poland, Sweden, Denmark and other European countries. It is a plant that dwarfs all existing wirdess sta- tions into insignificance: a single

unit will have power and range the equivalent of the largest wireless station in the world today. "

THE DEADLY JORDAN...

DISEASE GERM CARRIER.

Bathing in the River Jorda' famous in sacred history, has lost its popularity as the result of the dis covery by United States physicians that it is a dangerous disease-germ

carrier.

One of the first steps taken by an American Red Cross unit reaching that region was an analysis of the river water. It was was found to be laden with the germs of skin diseases and other maladies,

There have never before been re- strictions on bathing in the steamer, regardless of the physical conditions of the bathers, but the revelations of the danger lurking in the Jordan's water caused the local authorities to place a ban on the unrestricted bathing.

are so faint and fugitive that it is only on few nights of the year in the comparatively perfect atmospherical conditions of the tropical obser vatory stations that much useful and reliable information can be obtained.

If we consider the points of reset- blance between the Earth and Mars from which the physical significance of Mars is derived, we are led to the conclusion, as a result of the recent investigations of the planet, that Mars jis, or has been, a possible: "abode of file"The first feature of importance is that Mara' (with a surface area one quarter that of the Earth) does undoubtedly possess an atmosphere. It is true that the Martian atmosphere is now much less dense than our own, but this is what one would expect in accordance with Dr. Storey's theory of the escape of an atmosphere from a planet which he advanced some years ago. The tenuous and almost vanished atmosphere of the Moon, the absence of free hydrogen" from our own atmosphere, are in accor dance with: this theory. It is the presence of the Martian atmosphere, with occasional banks of cloud, that makes, in addition to the obscuring. of surface markings of Mars so diffi- -cult and trying.

WATER, ON- MARS, The evidence of water on Mars rests on a pretty substantial basia, The most imposing features of the planet are the polar snow caps cor- responding on our earth to the Arctic and Antarctic Icefields. As the Martian summer advances the polar ice cap decreases. In extent, and in the beight of summer almost disappears. This gradual melting of the polar snow-caps-is a phenomenon that is readily observed. But the formation "of the show caps occurs under con- -ditions unfavourable for direct tobie vation, sad has hitherto escaped detection. Professor Pickering's achievement for this reason all the more noteworthy, and may be the prelude to fanreaching discoveries? The result of hi observations bas-new-made definite the mode of formation of the polar snow caps. Indes the region where the phenomenon took placemia al most 50 degrees from the Martian equator, and the whitening of that region can only be attributed, as the American astronomer makes clear in his cablegram, to an extensive snow. fall. The latitude of the region' rules out the alternative hypothesis of the formation of the polar caps through the agency of frost, and it is interest- ing here to note that the phenomenon fost observed at.
