1910 Jan 17 / Quadratine of Mars. Light from earth seeable on Mars. [IX; 1511. Larkin, Edgar Lucien. “Signaling to Mars. It Impossibility by Means of Light.” Scientific American Supplement, 67 (no. 1746; June 19, 1909): 387. “The only areas on Mars whence a glimpse of the earth could be had with the unaided eye are the thin strips, lunes geometrically, turned slightly toward the earth a few days before and after instants of quadrature. These times of possible seeing the earth are for a few minutes before sunrise at any eastern quadrature as shown in Fig. 3, or a few minutes after sunset at any western. But at these instants it is also sunrise or sunset on the earth. Slight vapors or fogs in the atmospheres of either world will prevent momentary glimpses of signals. The quadrature of 1910 will place Mars at a distance of 108,000,000 miles from the earth. On a circle having this radius 1 sec. of arc is 520 miles. A mirror 1 inch in diameter carried to a distance of 3 25 miles will subtend an angle of 1 sec. Could this mirror be used here on earth as a telegraphic signal even at noon on a clear day?” “Suppose that our good friends have telescopes so powerful that they can see an object 0.1 sec. in diameter at a distance of 108,000,000 miles. Then the reflector must be 52 miles wide. Human skill is now being taxed to the extreme in making a mirror 100 inches in diameter, in Pasadena, for the Mount Wilson Observatory. All the glass that could be made for centuries would be required to make a mirror 52 miles in diameter. And all the metal for mounting this giant reflector!” (English Mechanic, 89 (no. 2307, June 11, 1909): 441-442; suggests an electrical display on Earth to signal Martians.) Only superior planets, further away from the orbit of the Earth, would see it as an inferior planet, (for example, best viewed during its phase when the positions of the Sun, Earth, and Mars form a right angle, at quadrature). From Mars, Earth would appear like a “new Moon” at inferior conjunction, (close, but only showing its dark side), and, at superior conjunction, a full hemisphere on Earth would be on the opposite side of the Sun, (distant, invisible behind the Sun, or faintly seen in the Martian daytime near the Sun). On October 3, 2007, the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter gathered images of the Earth and Moon; and, at a phase angle of 98°, the west coast of South America can be seen, (with a resolution of 142 kms. per pixel); and, on November 6, 2016, another set of images from HiRISE shows the continent of Australia. https://www.uahirise.org/releases/earthmoon and https://www.uahirise.org/releases/earth-moon-2016 ]

It was believed that a devil possessed her because in a fit of rage she declared she would as soon have a devil in the family as a young woman her brother was going to marry, and that night phe broke out. Loud noises seemed to come from all parts of the house. The girl was heard to shriek. Other members of the family ran to her room, and saw her floating in the air, several feet above her bed. She was talking incoherently and in language not like hers in ordinary conversation. She sank back to bed and slept and in the morning knew nothing about it. “night after night the performance was repeated. The girl developed clairvoyant powers, and in a trance read letters in visitors' pockets. But her health gave away and she was brought to the Charlottestown (P.E.I.) Hospital for the Insane.

1910 July 27 / BO / Ceylon Observer tells of an appearance of many large snails (achatena fulica) in the Kalutara district if Ceylon, near the coast, damaging the cocoanut trees. They were not indigenous to Ceylon, and all that could be said to account for them was—“It is believed that they were imported.” / July 28—supposed to be natives of Africa, but how got to Ceylon was a mystery. Millions of them had appeared in a cluster of neighboring villages, of which four are named. “How they came here continues to be a mystery.” “Never known in Ceylon before—wearing a swarthy shell, about the size of the palm of a man's hand.” / 29th—the things were eating up trunks of trees—some cocoanuts trees so covered as to be invisible under their shells, some of which were 5½ inches long. “The damage is serious.” / Aug 5—Mr. green, the Govt Entomologist, arrived at Kalatura. Story that the snails ate up trunks of trees was false but size and numbers not exaggerated. A photo of part of a tree trunk taken, and 227 snails counted staying in the space photographed. Mr. Green's report published in a supplement to the Observer of Sept. 2—He found a “horde in a comparatively small space”. Throughout his report it appears that the only exaggerations in various accounts were as ti the destructiveness if the creatures. Act to him they were in “enormous numbers”. He calls thema “foreign pest” but males no suggestion as to origin. / Sept 23—the Colombo Museum had received a specimen, alive, weighing ¾ pound. Had not all hatched out from one lot of eggs, because some were small ones. / Aug 2, Observer of —“all sizes”. / Aug 9th—that an unusually large, new scale insect had appeared on plants at Kotagiri, ac to Govt Ent, Mr. Green, it never before recorded in India. / Kalutara is near Colombo.

1910 July / snails / As told on the Zoologist, Feb., 1911, by Mr. E.

Average specimens between 4 and 5 ounces, but he knew of one that weighed 13 ounces. Attains full growth in 2 years. / Here said that origin been traced to the fact that Mr. Oliver Collet had, ten years before, received some specimens from abroad and had liberated them in his garden. Then he destroyed all, he thought, but it had been learned that there were still some in that region. It is 50 miles from Kalutara. / Accounts for it by saying there was a family of natives with connections in both places, and that in a parcel of vegetables brought by one of these natives, two of these snails had been found.

Windows of tall buildings filled with spectators and corners of streets congregated. “Many opinions were voiced concerning the mysterious visitors. Some persons said they must be at least five thousand feet up, and a few thought they could discern two or three passengers in each. Others said they were just toy balloons used as advertisements. These latter proved to be right as to size.” (Self-How?). “But if the balloons were used for advertising purposes there was nothing [in their appearance] to show it.” “The last of the balloons passed over the lower city about 5 o'clock, floating in the direction of Long Island. While the spectacle lasted the police had their hands full keeping the streets [and sidewalks] clear.” [IX: 1755.1 to 1755.5. “All Downtown Looking Up.” New York Tribune, September 22, 1910, p. 1 c. 2.]

Windows and doors in back of the house were blown a distance of 60 feet.” On an examination of the premises it was found that the two gas meters under the stairs had been shut off, so it was evident that the explosion was not caused by gas. Representatibes of the Salvage Corps and of the Home Office investigated, but could conclude nothing except that chemicals or petrol might have exploded. “Mr Reece was communicated with, but he stated most emphatically that there was nothing of the kind in the house.” / Chronicle, Oct. 7—“Mystery cleared up.” “A charred sofa in the drawing room and other evidence revealed the cause of the outbreak. Mr. Reece, the occupier, it appears, left home on the Saturday morning (24th) preceding the Sunday night of the fire.” Said that while smoking a pipe he had leaned over the sofa and sparks from the pipe had fallen upon it and smouldered until burst into flames—ab 36 hours. “Then as to the explosion.” There were two standard spirit lamps in the room, and in the fire they must have exploded almost simultaneously. / Self—that all furniture in house most likely so charred—the house was in ruins and the toppling walls dangerous so that the building roped off. The ruins had to be torn down. / In Chronicle, Sept 30, said, “The work of demolition has already commenced.” Only one “violent explosion” was described. As to the theory, Mr. Reece is not quoted.
