Scir«ti"t SKovvs Impossibility of Earth
Having Communication With Our
f.'c'ghboring Planets.
In nttemntiiig to communicate with
Mi'i"'. there lire several factors that
must he taken into cnns!cleniti''ti.
Henry Meier of Pctiter college
summed these lip at a recent mec'lng
of tile Kentucky Academy of Science,
lie said that In the first place the
prohaMy low temperature. rarefied
atmosphere and absence nf water t>n
MiTrs i re n-juilist the existence there
nf hctj>gs similiir to ourselves. In the
next place signaling l>y lislii must he
given up. fnr the reason that the
earth's atmosphere would ahsorh -in
per cent "f the light sent out. ami
the distance was so great that an
area of liehl ten miles square on the
earth would, if seen from Mars
through a telescope magnifying 'ml
I tlinos, appear like an area one Inch
-v|tiare viewed at a distance of "<k>
feet. In considering signals hy radio,
it ha« heeii computed that It would
require a current of a million am
peres at the sending station to oh
tain one of one ampere at a receiv
ing station on Mars. Anil Mr. Meier
remarked that the powerful i elect rip
current sent out hy the sun would
prolmhfy overwhelm the weak waves
sent from the earth.
Canadian Oil Production.
Over 00 per cent of the production
of crude petroleum In Canada is still
obtained from tho oil fields In south
ern Ontario, according to the prelimi
nary report of the mineral production
of Canada during the calemlnr year
1919, prepared hy John McLelsh. Ft. A.,
rlilef division of mineral resources and
statistics. Canadian department of
mines. These fields have been produc
ing for r.S years, hut production has
heen supplemented during recent
years hy a small annual production
from New Brunswick and Alberta. The
total production of crude oil from
these fields in 1010 was 240,070 bar
rels of 3"> imperial gallons, having a
value of $744,607, as compared with a
total production in 191S of 304,741 bar
rel, valued at SSSo.143.
Builder of Soils.
Most of the fame that has come to
the humble cowpea has arisen from
its extremely • practical value as a
builder of soils and as a feed crop.
It is a legume and. plowed under, its
vines give the needed humus to soils
lacking this necessary quality.
Its name isn't poetical, either, but
it is entitled to a place among the
most beautiful flowering plants In this
country. Its cousin Is our vari-col
ored sweet pea. In blossom a field
of cowpeas, with ihelr dark, glossy
leaves, looks exactly as If a myriad
host of purple butterflies, each with
two yellow spots on Its wings, had
settled upon it for a momentary rest,
and when the wind blows the resem
blance is even more marked.

Never Bitter Exemplified Than
by Unhappy Eugenie.
In the middle '70s I had, for several
years, a suite of rooms In a hide! in
St. Call Switzerland. Heturnlng from
■ ■tie uf my periodical trips to England,
!Ik* proprietor Informed me lliat he
had tnlieii the liberty of permitting a
la<ly and her attendant to occupy the
rooms for a night. as the hotels were
all full. She was a middle-aged wom
nn. <if sorrowful aspects dressed In
black, an I walked with a cane, and
although traveling incogn!:8. was rec
ognized by one of the hotel staff as
ex-Empress KtigelitP. widow of Napol
eon tlic I.ittle. who owned a chateau
near Schafriiattscii.
That was about 1ST4. And only a
few weeks ago this unhappy woman,
who had long been tired of life, died
at the age of ninety-four.

Extensive Forest Planned.
New York state will le.nl the nation
In Intensive application of forestry to
idle lands. under plans now being
formulated in Otsego county. This
country, whose hills and valleys, lakes
and streams formed the setting for
Cooper's Lealherstocking tales, is or
ganizing a system of county and town
ship forests, on the Jiasis of a survey
by the New York State College of
Forestry at Syracuse. The plan Is
for each township to plant a forest of
roughly 100 acres as a starting point
The several forests will be part of the
county system and will be connected
with the highways to make them ac
cessible from all parts of the county.
Bahamas to Protect the Flamingo.
The flamingo will be protected by
an order of council issued by the gov
ernment of the Bahama islands, the
National Geographic society an
nounces. The birds nest In the marshes
of the islands. The action of the is
land government followed an expedi
tion which trailed the flamingo into
the marshes and there took motion
pictures of Its habitat. It was esti
mated that since 1001 the number of
the birds on the Island lias been re
duced from 20,000 to about 7.000 by
the depredat'ons of sponge fishermen,
who killed them fwr food.
