IMPOMTE MARTIANS WIRELESS MESSAGES IGNORED POSSIBLE SOURCE OF POST QI’FICE REVENUE (By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright.) (Rec. 7.35 pjn.) London, October 27. No one was surprised that the night passed without. a reply from Mars. An official said if people wished to send such messages there was no reason why the Post Office should refuse revenue. The charge would be at the long-distance ship rate, 1/6 a word. He saw no reason for rejecting even a message to the Man in the Moon if it were offered. —A. & N.Z. RUGBY CALLS LT MARS. (Rec. 8.8 p.m.) London, October 28. The Rugby high power station transmitted a message to Mars at midnight but officials were careful to state that they do not guarantee reception of the message, which is described as being in no known language but prefixed by three words which the sender of the message says he knows psychically will be understood on Mars. German astronomers state that if signals are received in Britain to-night they will probably be due to sunspots which are now disturbing wireless transmission. —A. and N.Z.
