Of the Latent : ; Powers in Man Paitor The Star: The astronomers are determined to Know fhe truth ( about Mars} Prof. Todd" of Amberst fs going! down to Chile and erect a giant mer cury mirror at the bottom of an old) deserted mine having a shaft 1,300 feet deep which is to amwwer as a! sort of telescope tube. Placing his S6foot mirror at the bottom of this natural tube he proposes to bring Mars into the back yard of thix earth, for Mars will appear as tho| it were one and one-half miles di« tant. It will be lke the Irivhman’s pig. Says Pat, “I could see the baste with me open eye, but this here telescope brings him so close I kin hear him squeal." The great wizard {in electrical science, Mar. | coni, is sure he has heard the Mar tial squeal without the ald of the| telescope. Dr. Anna Kingsford saw with the eye of the soul the nine | moons of Jupiter in the year 1880 thie was at a time when physical science knew of but four moons as the attendants of that giant world. The book of Job tells of the sons| (planets) accompanying the monster | sun Arctyrus; motern astronomy | knows nothing of these, for no tele scope ever made could even resolve Arcturus into & reund disk, much less reveal to the eye of man one of its planets, How'did the old) learners know these thing»?
