any effort at restoring a monarchy
Twenty thousand reservists have been
called to the colors and are stretched
along the northern and nortn eastern
frontiers, the most vulnerable points
for intruders.
I Another important phase OF the
present situation is the unrest known
to be prevailing among tie mountain
eer element, which has not yet become
accustomed to the new order Of things
TO reassure these people the govern
ment has inaugurated a policy of dis
; patching to the mountains small de-
! tachments of soldi"ry commanded by
an officer whose business IS to ex-
plain the objects of the republic and
counterfeit the hostile influence of
monarc!'ists.>
! An interesting contribution on the
, power of recovery of the body after
! hard work has been made to the Acad-
envy of Sciences. Monsieur Amar, the
reporter, demonstrated that the human
! organism rests after work in accord
ance with the law relating to the cool
| ing off of a heated body. The formula
! of Luton explaining the rapidity OF
the body in work applies also to the
rapidity of rest. Consequently one
should find, according to Monsieur
Amar's theory, that rest Is more rap
idly obtained when the work has been
| rapid.
The seaport town of Agadir, on the
! western coast of Morocco, was little
known of until the arrival of Ger
man warship which plunged all Eu-
rope into the fear of complications
and even gossip Of possible war. Now
Agadir has leaped into worldwide
notice.
The Sous region, extending far back
from Agadir, is rich in mineral and
agricultural wealth beyond the dreams
of engineers and offers new proof of
the fact that Morocco is a country
teemeng in natural resources which
have only to be skillfuly worked to
make it one of the wealthiest regions
in the world. In the past the rela-
tions of Europe with Agadir were
important. In the sixteenth century
the Portuguese disembarked there and
built fort. The Dutch Initiated the
Portuguese in the eighteenth century
and up to seventeen hundred and sew
enty-three the Span.ards claimed the
right to land there and seek provi-
sions. An English company establish
itself at Cape JUDY, but was forced
to leave by the Sultan. England had,
however, vice-counsel at Agadir up
to the eighteenth century. The bay
of Agadir is perhaps the finest and
most protected on the Moroccan coast
and should Morocco eventually be de-
vided up among the powers would be
a splendid naval base for the lucky
acquirer.
The lesson of the European circuit
aeroplane RAGE Us the necessity of de-
veloping a better motor according to
the opinion of experts. The delays
to the airmen from accident were COM
par.tively rare but the motor trouble
was frequent complaint.
The power in the motor is believed
to have been excessive. In this re-
spect the experts agree with the gen.
eral contention of Wilbur Wright who
recently pleaded for a halt in the
struggle to obtain great speed. What
Wrig It wishes is that rules of speed
races should be changed so as to H.
nit the size of the motors, eighty
miles an hour, in his eyes being a
good average. French experts want
manufacturers to strive for the same
regularity that now exists in an auto
mobile; in other words, give up the
struggle for speed and concentrate
On regularity and safety. AS one ex.
pert sad, "The bird is created. He
has body and he has wings, but his
heart does not beat regularly"
King Albert of Belgium enjoyed his
long talk with the members of the in
ternational steel conference, who
were received by him and who found
that his majesty knew considerably
more than they had expected about
recent processes and experiments in
steel working. Upon one of the guest
remarking that the Kings knowledge
was extraordinary for layman a Bel
glan fhend of the King said that if his
Majesty had not been obliged to be
King he would have been an expert
engineer in technical industrial sub
jects and that he diverted himself by
studying industrial science.
