MESSAGE TO MARS.
FAILURE OF EXPERIMENT. DR. ROBINSON'S THEORY. Australian Press Association—United Service (Keceived October 25, 12.55 a.m.) LONDON 7 , Oct. 24. In the small hours of this morning Dr. Mansfield! Robinson, psychic investigator, paid Is 6d a word for the transmission from tho Rugby wireless station of his message to Mars. This was: "Love from the earth to Mars. God is love." Dr. Robinson wanted the message sent on a 30,000 metres wave-length, which he said he thought necessary to penetrate to Mars, but the Post Office officials said it must be 18,0(X) metres or nothing. However, Dr. Robinson listened for a reply on ti 30,000 metres, seven valve set. He claims to have received certain signals but says they must be decoded. Professor A. M. Low witnessed the experiment and describes it as a failure. He says funny noises and quaint signals were heard, but it could not be suggested that they were from Mars. Mrs. Robinson remarked: "There will bo no more foolishness in this house."
