POSSIBILITY OF AN
ANCLO-FRENGn WAR
WeII-Known Writer Tells Of Hostile
Feelings Between England and
France and How to Avoid War.
BY MAX O'RELL.

tx TANY PEOPLE mostly wiseacres,
NH predict that, when the Paris Ex-
lVa hibtion is over, hostile feelings
towards England will De revived
in France, and that, these feelings being
reciprocated in England, war win be in
evitable, or, at all events. that the slight
est pretext for war will be seized by the
forelock.
That there is bad oood between the two
grent nations it would be idle to deny,
although it may be affirmed. without the
fear of contradiction, that, outside of a
lunatic asylum. there is not an intelligent
person in France or in England that would
wish to see such a war with the too-aw-
-ful-to-contenpiate consequences it would
entail to the two nations But the bad
feelings do exist,and the situation has to
be faced.
And what T say is that these bad feel
ings are not at all deep-rooted on either
side. The hostile feelings Of the French
towards England have existed. in a more
or less intense degree, since the English
set foot in Egypt, and they eliminated
with the Fushoda incident which incident

BUTTERFLIES OF TRUTH


Dickens little Gradgrinds had cabinets

is only in the Justification Of the muse

fIuttering butterfly-which does not know
that it has been classified. not in dead
formula, but in air and aliveness.
To a Hottentot, a baby, or an idiot,
words I might speak would only be vibra-
lions of the air inrpinging on the ear. pro
ducing strange sounds: but would that
account of them be very high form OF

thing in such a way that they do not know
it, and sometimes they do not themselves
know that they DO not know it.

pigean-hoing the universe, it would re

proves that the stars, the sun and the
earth are made up of the same elements
If the earth were to be raised to the tenn
perature of the sun. it would be like it
a miniature sun. The sun is, in fact, a
star. The stars are, in general compos-
ed of terrestrial elements. This great
generalization strengthens the nebuar
hypothesis in it's larger acceptatlonS but
the century has brought forward many
doubts as to its minor details. With the
discovery of the spectroscope the science
OF astronomical physics was born. The
most amazing single result of spectre
Scopic observation is the determination
of the velocity with which stars are APP
preaching to, or receding from, the earth.
All stars are in motion with respect to
the earth. AS they move away FROM or
towards us, the pitch of their spectral
lines is altered by their velocity precisely
as the pitch of the bell of a passing To-
connective engine is altered by its motion
toward US or from US. The motion of the
sun and the whole solar system among
the stars. in space, can be determined
in this fashion. We are approaching
some stars; we are recedlnS from others.
The line of the motion of our whole solar
system can thus be drawn in the uni
verse and this problem is now being
worked out in all its details at several
places, notably at the Lick Observatory.
In the foregoing paragraphs it has not
been possible TO note more than a few
of the greater achievements of the as
tronomy of the century. Only few OF
the greater men are named. a full ac-
count of astronomical progress would re-
uuire a volume and it would include
host of honored names In each and
every department we should find Ameri-
cans in the highest places. Nowhere has
astronomy flourshed better than upon
orr own soil and we MAJ look forward to
the next century with confidence.
