tdgonisTn against Inc German emperor IN
England and against the German people,
said Mathew Andrews, OF Edinburgh, at
the New Willard last night, but when
the reasons for this opposition are in
vestigated, it VIII be found that this an
tagonism is founded on nothing but
Jealousy"
Mr.. Andrews is manufacturer Of wool
en- goods and Is visiting this country for
pleasure.
'.The German Emperor has been charged
by the English newspapers with all sorts
of warlike designs on England and Brit
ish commerce everywhere. ne con-
tinued, "and he has been charged with
keeping the whole world IN a state
of continuous unrest and preventing the
powers from getting together and form
ing a peace union. as il were am not
German, but I am for the truth.
THE antagonism which exists in Eng
land against Germany is not the peoples
thought or opinion, for they have no de-
sire for making enemies anywhere. II is
the handiwork of scheming politicians IN
England who pose as patricts. These
are raise patriots; in fact, they are not
patriots at all They inhict much harm
upon the country by their everlasting
German bugaboo- The Conservative party
OF Parliament at the last election made
every effort to have the people return
them 10 Parliament on the strength OF
their German invasion talk. The people
did not believe them. and the conserva-
tives were defeated. and they viii be de-
| feated as long as they try to hoodwink
the people.
I'VE In England. Scotland. and Ire
land, and anywhere, do not deny the fact
that Germany has made rapid strides
and forged to the front and passed
other nations which had been ahead OF
/ her for many years. Germany's trans
Atlantic commerce is growing: she is IN
vading British territory everywhere and
beating English trade in its own terri
/ tory and sphere OF influence. England
realizes this fact and tries every method
10 close the open door against Germany
/ in Persia. India. Egypt, and her de-
| tendencies and colonies. Germany, how
ever, is not 10 be bluffed by mere edicts.
She has a wonderful army and a
young. patriotic navy. and cannot be
bluffed or scared. Her attitude in the
annexation case of Bosnia and HerzegO-
VIVA, when she and Austria defied Eng
land France, and Russia, should be suf-
ficient proof that mere words are really
not factors at all in the game Of interna-
tionai politics. unless they are backed up
by an efficient army and navy.
Germany may not have the love OF the
nations" added Mr.. Andrews, but it IS
quite certain that the governments Of the
world sit up and take notice when she
has anything to- say. This is quite differ
ent from what it used to be about TWEEN
u years ago, when her voice in the
council of nations was not needed as it is
to-day It is evident that Germany is des-
tined 70 take the place Of England as lead
er Of the European nations. and that En-
! peror William will have TO be consulted
now whenever anything is to be pulled
off in the line Of diplomatic tricks"
There is absolutely 10 limit TO the
normal vision, If the sight be unob-
structed, according to DR. E. ". Nc
Allister. of Philadelphia who was seen
at the Shoreham. Yet we can see the
: stars, which are trillions OF miles away.
while we cannot see a tree twenty miles
distant Why? It is true that all OBJ
. jects diminish in apparent size in a direct
proportion to distance; but that is not
the only reason The chief reason is
that our vision is INSTRUCTED by the
curvature OF the earth. Il is often a
matter of interest and Importance to
know how far We can see from any given
! height, or. conversely, how far one must
be above the earth 10 see an object at q
given distance The exact calculation OF
these figures would require the use OF
very complex fOrmulae but for practi-
cal use two very simple rules WIN SUI
fee The distance IN miles at which ar
object upon the face of the earth /.
! visible is equal TO the square root Of on
e and a half times the height Of the OBJ
server in feet above the surface. and
= conversely. the height in feet 10 which
: an observer must be placed to see a dis
: tant object is equal TO twO-thiTds th'
e square of the distance in miles.
= For instance" added Dr.. McAllisteE
The Washington Monument is 5S5 fee
s high; at what height must an observe
d fifty miles away. be in order to see tn
: top of 1t? Surprising the observer shOul
d stand on the ground; we find by III
n first rule that he could just see the tor
r. twenty-nine miles away, and TO overeon'
n the remaining twenty-one miles, due {
It the convexity of the earth, he would
by rule second, have 10 climb to tn
height Of 294 feet"
