Report Of The Messengers To The Earth Delivered by Professor Tegelet at a Special Meeting of the Marsian Scientific Club Held at Rougestar, Canal Area, Mars, June 19, 1921 [NOTE—This issue of Scientific American commemorates the landing on October 2 , 1921 , of the first visitors from our sister planet , Mars. Only fifty years have elapsed since those illustrious navigators of the heavens , Professors Tegelet and Derd- lim, descended literally “from out of a clear sl(y ” upon a tobacco field down in Guilford County , North Carolina.] We are quite amused when we read oi the surprise and terror with which these two sci¬ entists were greeted by the people who saw them drop onto the Earth in their frail com pressed air cylinder. Yet we now think u not at all unusual to spend an occasional week-end on M ars. There are perhaps fifty or more trans-celestial cylinder lines in regu¬ lar operation on as many fields in the United States alone. Henry Ford, III, who has recently retired, has built an Italian villa on the sister planet and he has announced his intention of spending the winter there each year. Since there is practically no risk in mak¬ ing the trip, it is becoming more popular each day. The cylinders are adequately lined and the three score passengers are quite comfort able during the five or six hours required to make the air voyage. The recently patented landing device which utilizes the reaction principle through the application of com pressed air in a direction opposite the direc¬ tion of the ship’s course absolutely does away with the possibility of a too hurried approach to the planet. As the cylinder shoots out of the tube at the sending field it is traveling ar the rate of over one hundred miles an hour. I his speed decreases somewhat as the cylin¬ der moves forward, but as soon as the air begins to grow more rarified it gradually moves faster, since the attraction of the earth now grows less and less. Leaving the atmos¬ pheric field at the one hundred mile mark, the car literally shoots forward, assuming in space the incredible speed of forty thousand miles per hour. The speed increases, there being no atmosphere and consequently no re¬ sistance, and the cylinder moves forward without any force being applied to it. As it approaches the neighbor planet the air cush¬ ion about this body decreases its speed, and at ten miles above the surface the velocity has again dropped to one hundred miles per hour. Rele asing the giant compressed air tanks to¬ ward the descent to the planet, and dropping the great parachute at the rear, the cylinder slows down and settles to earth as if on an enormous spring. The process of emerging from the big bullet requires only about fifteen minutes, and since the atmospheric pressure on both planets is practically the same, no discomfort is experienced in making the change. The development of the Earth-Mars Transportation Company has been truly re¬ markable, and the two planets are now for all practical purposes much nearer each othei than America and Europe. This great enter¬ prise has been the chief agency in bringing about and fostering a better Pan-Earth- M arsianism, a relationship which each planet should strive to cultivate and perpetuate.— The Editor.
