ALL ABOUT MARS.
NO LONGER ANY MYSTERY.
Communicating with Mars may be nothing new after all, for Dr. Mansfield Robinson, à London at- torney, who became a. telepathlat. years ago, doclores that he has a friend in Mars-Oomaruru; a woman, from whom he has recoiy- ed messages and who has kept him informed of what is going on, the mystery planet.
Now he knows the Martinns so intimately, he asserts, as to be aware of what they look like, and what the eat and can vouch for the fact that they use tobacco and drink ten
Recently Dr. Robinson handed into the central radio office a mos- sago for Mars. It was composed of two words, "Opestinipta Secom- ba, and was prefixed with three" Ms. It was explained to the aan- der that delivery could not be guaranteed. But this was "agree, able, the doctor being satisfied to take the risk.
Robinson Reports Reply, Later Dr. Robinson announced that he had received a mosage from Domarura, presumably in re- ply, while he was boing interview. ed relative to the failure of other persons to get into touch with Mars. He declared that aa- tronomers And other sclent- ista have only themselves to blame, as "they simply do not know how. to play the Martians' game.”
וי
As to Oomaruru's latest con- munication, the attorney remark- ed: "Oomaruru is a particular friend of the director of Mara' largest wireless station. She just explained to me why only the sign "MM" came through. She said that as their message was in Eng- lsh and with English signs, it would not convince scientiste, so. the Martians decided to cease at the introductory signals."
- Message Kept Secret. Thug for the telepathist has not considered it necessary to explain the meaning of the words of hig message "Opesinipitia Secomba" for mortals here, he said? "Oomaruru surely understands."
From his knowledge, which, he avows was received from Mars it- self, Dr. Robinson describes the Martians as people from seven to eight feat tall with large, pars, A wealth of black, hair, and almond eyes, giving them an- Oriental cast of features. Not only do they drink tea and smoke, but they have automobiles, which hop and skip aver the ground and almost fly, and the stiffer the wind blaws the, faster the car goes..
As for aviation, the people on mother carth are 1,000 years be- hind the times, since in Mare, pic- tured by the telepathist, enormous airships dart about, all electrically propelled, the electrical power coming from the canals and mouną. tain waterfalls. The Martians perfected wireless, long before Marconi was born."
The Martians are further de scribed as gentle and kindly, with great mental power..-"Exchange"
ACTRESS'S COURAGE.
ACTS WITH A FRACTURED SKULL
The astonishing feat of going through six performances on tho stage while suffering from a frac- tured skull has been performed by Miss Peggio Robb-Smith, a young actress playing a part in "Ro mance," at the London Playhouse. Miss Robb-Smith fell outside her house in New Cavendish street on leaving for the matinee. perfor mance, and struck her hend against some railinga, "She suf- fered from elight giddineas, but pluckily refused to entertain the idea of giving up her part.

The feeling of giddiness, how- ever, continued, and she decided to be X-rayed. An examination was made when it was found that she was suffering from a fractured skull. She was immediately con- fined, by order of the specialist, to a dark room.
"I do not know why so much fuss should be mado about it,”- said Miss Robb-Smith. I did not know my hond was fractured, and, therofore, I carried on."
Mr. Ernest Benham, stage mana- ger of Playhouse, said: "Mian Robb Smith showed the most wonderful pluck during the whole of the time after she suffered her
