Air Rights.

Air Rights.
The extension in the use Of the MIL
itary balloon has led German legal
and military writer's into some inter-
esting discussions regarding the SOW
ereign rights in the air. The entrance
Of an armed force of one nation into
the territory of another without spe-
cial permission is forbidden; but II
war balloon carrying bombs should be
driven across the German frontier
into the upper air Of France, what
right would the French have to fire
upon the airship? 1t has been sug-
gested that an international agree
ment might be reached under which
the air above given distance, say
two miles, should be regarded as neu-
tral, just as the ocean three miles
from shore il free to all nations. OF
course there would at once arise the
question whether the two miles re-
ferred to sea-leyel or to the level OF
the land above which the balloon was
sailing: or, to carry inso the air the
contentious of the British respecting
headlands and sea neutrality, whether
the three-mile- limit was to be meas.
ured from the top Of the highest
mountain peaks in q given country.
II ballooning should be pursued as .
sport, as rich men now use the auto
mobile, this question Of rights In the
air will grow serious for every house
holder who in theory owns q pyramid
the apex of which il at the center OF
the earth and the base on the outer
most rim of infinite space. But II the
theory is carried too far, the man
would have a good case against the
stars for trespassing on his aerial do
main. There must be some point, de-
clares Youths Companion, between
terra firma and infinity at which space
becomes common property.

for another bit of good sleighing last
night and this morning. The rise in
temperature during this morning, how
ever, softened the feeey covering Of

this snow will not stay SO long as did
the last one, trace of which were still
visible before being covered up by the
falling flakes of yesterday. The wealth
er man informs us that il will be
colder but fair tonight and tomorrow.
The snow tied up the good skating
which had been enjoyed on Friday
and Saturday, as the creeks and ponds
along with the streets were covered
and the melting weather of today will
possibly so rot the ice as to make
skating unsafe after the snow disap-
pears.

AS Japan is not prepared to export
