toward abridging the influence In politics of

and considers not whether 1t would promote
the general welfare of the empire, but whether
It would advance its own particular partisan
fad.
1t must be an almost disheartening situation
for an imperial minded statesman. We cannot
wonder that it is so, or at any rate that 1t
was so at the outset, seeing the composite char
acter OF the empire and the strength of SEQ
tartan, racial and tribal prejudices But we
might have thought that after thirty-hve years
of imperial union there would be some sub
sidence Of factiOnalsm and something like the
rise OF great natiOna. parties. That such has
not been the case may not be Ominous, but IT
is at any rate one of the least satisfactory and
least auspicious features of German history.

AERIAL LoCOMOrI0N.

Ii Is particularly interesting fact that the
| inventor Of the telephone has found the prob
lens OF aerial navigation worthy Of his devoted
study. Professor Bell believes as did Lillen-
thai and Langley that better results are 20 be
attained with the aeroplane than with a gas
bag, but he has apparently gone further than
any one else in the development of the prin-
ciple Of the former device He demonstrated
several years ago that structure composed
OF a large number Of small cells was superior
TO one in which there was only a single out
stretched area.
A good deal might depend. of course. on the
precise form Of the cell which was adopted.
and, after an elaborate series OF experiments
designed to throw light on that question, Pro
fessOr Bell selected the tetrahedrOn as his
model He then observed that an aggregation
of tetrahedral cells was much stronger than
a simple aerOpane, and that sound concIu-
sions concerning the qualities of a large ma
chine could be drawn from the performance
of small One-which Professor Simon New
comb found TO be impossible in respect to such
promising inventions as the Hargrave box
kite.
In a paper which he contributes TO 'The Ma
tiOnal Geographic Magazine" for January. and
from which liberal extract is made on an
other page of The Tribune Professor Bell
makes a fresh revelation He shows that II
IS feasible to dispense with the horizontal tops
Of his cells, and to rely for support i'm the air
on the open VS.. which resemble pairs of wings
both in appearance and in effect Something
is sacrificed in lifting power by this modifica-
ton. but a gain in steadness is insured Inas
much as the ordinary aeroplane is rather nm
stable. and hence could easily be capsized nv
gust Of wind. Professor Bell now expresses
an emphatic preference for a kite In which
there are no horizontal surfaces whatsoever
An airshlp such Professor Bell has in

hitherto il has been mmaterial whether his
models were pulled or pushed and he has
usually found it convenient to pull them or IN

service, however. il will be necessary to rsa
propellers and some kind of engine. He has
considered the evolution of his highly original
type of aerOplane more important than any
thing else, but he has of late given attention
TO the matter of providing suitable motive ma.

IS that II provides no special machinery for de-

Corrupt Practices bill drawn by Mr.. Gaines OF
West Virginia, does provide such machinery,
but Congress would probably be unwilling TO
pass So drastic a measure at this session. Pub
lie opinion is being rapidly educated TO the
point of rebelling at the methods of "fat fry
