PROGRESS IN
AERONAUTICS

\ n enterprising Paris firm is busy
| ~ with bird's-eye map of France,
on which, for the use of aero
planists and balloOnists and air-navi-
gators generally. the direct distances
from town to town will be marked in
clear figures. Now that the navigation
of the air is a thing of the near future,
people are realizing how difficult it is
for the captain of an airship to find
out exactly where he is, and maps will
not be sufficient for this purpose
Travelling at the rate of fifty miles an
hour, which is a speed already made
by airships of all kinds, it is quite i'm
possible to recognize landscape from
above. The French Aero Club is offer
ing prizes for the invention of an air
ships compass. The ordinary compass
is no good at all. For some reason, as
has already been proved on mOtorboats,
the action of the motors magnetic in
fiuences the compass so that no reli-
ance can be placed on it. In the mo-
torboat race from Algiers to TOulOn
the boats had to follow torpedo boats.
They could not find their way across
without them. In the race from Bou-
logne to Folkestone, where all the COM
petitOrs had ships compasses, most of
them lost their way across the Chan
mel, and one of them spent all day
rushing around Calais, and found him
self off Cape Grisnez in the evening,
while several went to Dover by mis-
take instead of to Folkestone. So an
airship compass will be very neces-
sary thing in the immediate future.
Public attention in France is being
drawn to the increasing frequency with
which German balloons, often convey
ing officers, have in the last few months
landed on this side of the frontier. In
the Echo de Paris, in a recent issue. NJ.
Andre Mevil gives a list, from which it
appears that since the middle of April
no fewer than sixteen balloons. which
included among their passengers at
least fifteen officers, have landed in diff
ferent parts OF the country. As recent
iy as three weeks ago balloon with
two officers came down near Alencon,
and on Nov. Q three persons. who called
themselves manufacturers of Frankfurt,
alighted in Finistere, within twenty
miles OF Brest. NJ. Mevil notes that on
three occasions two balloons landed in
the same region on the same day. and
he suggests that the whole practice of
entering France by balloon is a form
OF espionage, which ought, if possible,
to be stopped by the Government. AT
present" he says, "it appears that the
representations made in Ber-
I'm have not produced the slightest eff

on LIVING TOGETHER.

Man is social being. He desires to
may live with them on comfortable,
pleasant terms or he may live on terms
of armed neutrality or at open war.
Happiness is what the worlds a-seek
ing. Now happiness dependent upon
what man is within himself. and what
man is within himself is to some eX-
tent dependent upon his neighbors. A
man may live in Il briar patch and keep
his temper but he will have less trou-
bic in keeping his temper if he lives
in bluegrass meadow. A school
that could teach its students the fine
art of getting along with other peo-
Pile, that could inculcate the princi
pies of peaceable and pleasant exist
ence, would do much for the happiness
of humanity.
Household economics is an important
part of modern school study but neigh
borhood enconomics is much more i'm
pOrtant and valuable. The teacher
can do somewhat along this line by di-
rect instruction and somewhat more by
indirectiom. 1t is difficult to teach
gentlemanlness by precept. 1t is bet
ter and more forcibly impressed by ex-
ample. Any school which has mar
row, snarling, disagreeable man at its
head, though he be a scholar of high
rank. is doing harm rather than good.
In examinations for certificates to
teach the first inquiry should be as
to the ability Of the applicant to teach
by personal example the foundation of
all happiness, the art of living with
other people.
The Great Teacher. who went about
doing good possessed this art in largest
degree and all who teach within school
rooms or without may learn a lesson
from his life. Along with mathemat-
les and Greek and chemistry let stress
be placed upon the art Of living in
peace with all men. None is too young
to study such an art and none too old
to profit by such study. 1t may not
be wise to have a chair of this art, with
professor i'm charge and assistants, but
it is certainly wise to enlist all teach
ers in every school room in its incul-
cation and more than professional
teachers those who dwell in the school
room that We call the world and are
teaching by the actions which make up
each individual life.

SPIRIT OF THE NEWS

Governor elect Herbert S. Hadley has
said that Missouri is again to blaze
the way in which her sister states must
travel" That she has done SO in up
building the West and also in the re-
forms effected under Gov. Folk, Gen.
Iladlcy maintains. is no reason why
there are no more paths to blaze. In
that Missouri is throbbing with the life
of the age, she has before her all the
problems OF commercial civilization.
1t is a new opportunity, and she
will not be long in developing either
her natural resources or her cities-so
that i'm both she will still illuminate
the way of the states.

Japanese American agreement. the cOrO-
nation of Pu vi. the arrival OF the Chi
nese Envoy. Tang ShaO vi, in Wash

events which mark the beginning of an

The questions of immigrants and
trade can both be better dealt with.
and the Oriental as student in Am

The great significance of these events
is that China and Japan are no longer

The Haytien revolution has reached
IA crisis. Perhaps in few hours
President Alexis rule will become a
matter of history. Although he has
been an ignorant despot, it is not likely
that his successor will give Hayti a
better government. In fact, it is diff
cult to see how any native ruler could.
The Haytiens have no civilization on
which to base stable government.
These blacks who have been celebra-
ted for their spirit of freedom are now
known best for their unrestrained IL
cense. Not only have the masses re-
turned to primitive African Savagery
and Voodooism. but they have retained
and multiplied the vices of civilization.
The bearing of all this on government
is clear when it is seen that among
the lower classes, at least, the funda-
mental ideas of justice and fidelity are
lacking and even the institution of
unheard of.
1t is such a proposition of bringing
order out of chaos that has faced the
United States for a long time. To
annex the so-called Republic would
have few advantages to our country;
and we are not looking for any more
l., - U,,&% ta
ton of Hayti may be forced upon us.
This fostering island is so close under
our shores that we are looked to by
Europe to put it in order. Had it not
been for the principles of the Monroe
Doctrine. other powers would have at
tended to it long since. Its disorders
have lasted so long that the white
population has in the main emigrated
rather than submit to robbery and
Neither foreign nor native merchants
have assurance that their property or
persons will be respected, so business,
As well as civilization has retrograded.
When the foreign governments make
as they likely will in few
lays, the government of the United
States will consider it a duty to cor
rect this anomaly of the twentieth
century. by whatever means necessary
10 set the Haytiens back on the road to
progress. II. MILLER.
