the Steamer Olympic and Able to

The Invisible airship has already
been patented by its inventor Baron
Roenne Baron Roenne is well known
in England as an airship and naval
engineer. so more respect must Do
paid to his ideas than to those who
try inventing without any technical
knowledge.
Baron Roenne has submitted bis
idea to the officials at the Greenwich
Royal Observatory. and they declare
that It is based on scientific princi-
pies, and most certainly practicable.
They way this remarkable airship Is
made invisible Is as follows:
Take a white wall and paste white
sheet Of paper on it. 9At distance Of
few feet you may be able to detect
where the paper leaves of and the
wall begins. AT hundred yards the
wall looks all wall You would never
suspect the paper OF being there II
you did not known already That Is
Baron Roenne's idea.
The outside covering Of his airshlp
IS made Of metal, the composition Of
which is a secret II is almost as
strong as steel yet It only weighs one
fourth as much. No hydrogen can
leak from a vessel made Of It, so the
danger OF an airship exploding from
that cause disappears.

ship Is possible. The most important
thing about the metal, as far as Baron
Roenne is concerned, is that it pos
sesses a very highly polished surface.
This Is covered over with a thin
coating Of transparent varnish. The
whole surface Of the dirigible. in fact.
acts as a mirror. aud reflects the same
color as its surroundings. If the sky
Is dull SO is the airship If the sky
Is blue, SO Is the alrship.
The sides of the keel Of this new
airship are also rejecting mirrors.
and by an ingenious Arrangement Of

SCIENCE NOTES.

Last summers weather was I'M
usual throughout the world. While
Europe and the United States were alb.
normally warm, the greater part of
South America was experiencing an
exceptionally cold winter. While the
drought in this country and Europe
was most severe, South America, was
treated to a drenching probably IN
pTecedented in that part of the world
From the meteorological log books of
a number of vessels it appears that
the trade winds over the north Allan
tic were exceptionally strong during
the summer of 1911. During the same
period the meteorological station at
Punta Arenas, at the southern extrem.
itv iof South America, noted the high.
est average wind velocities for fifteen
years, September being the stormiest
month on record.
Electric ovens for bread baking are
beginning to make their appearace in
some of the large cities of Europe and

noting their use. The Vienna cleo.

electric ovens adopted widely through
out the city, and it offers to supply
the current for this use at special re-

load is normally low. There soon will
be a trial oven put in operation in
order to test the method.

MAKING GOOD
ON THE FUTILITY OF EXAMINATIONS.

Frank Crane in Chicago Daily News
That affair called an examination is
perhaps the prize humbug of the whole
human show.
At school, after a few weeks study
and recitation, the teacher gravely
hands the student a printed list Of
questions, to which answers are to be
written. In this way the teacher is
supposed to find out what the pupil
knows.
In the first place, a teacher that
can sit in the schooroom daily for
weeks with a child and cannot learn
the child's capacity and know wheth-
or or not he is studious ought to go
out and work on the farm.
In the second place, my ability to
write down answers to ten questions
is no test Of my knowledge of a sub
ject.
It is psychologically wrong. Many
a person may have a thorough com
mand of a subject and yet when he
gets his pen in his hand is unable to
state it formally. A man may be an
excellent physician, with unerring in
stinct in diagnosis and skill in treat,
ment, and be paralyZed when he at
tempts to formulate his knowledge
into a dozen paragraphs. Literary
composition, the accurate expressing
OF ones ideas, is one thing, and hay
ing ideas and being able 20 use them
is quite another thing. One OF tine
most gifted writer's on naval affairs
is naval officer who was a dismal
failure at running a ship. His books
are authorities, and they squeezed
him out of the service for sheer in

There is only one way to ascertain
whether or not a man is able to fill
any position, and that is to try him
and see.
That is the method of the business
house. There you win find only one
test. The head of the firm asks but
one question, Can he make good?"
Any other test is sheer nonsense
There is but one thing want to know
of any one whom I hire for a certain

THE THIRD-7ERM CUSTOM


Since the entrance of Colone
Roosevelt into the contest for tn Re
publican Presidential nomination o
1912 q great deal has been said abo >,
the wise custom which limits tho
President to two terms" The quoted
words are those of Colonel Roose
welt himself; but, as he has since oX
planned he meant only a third con
secutive term.
That the trainers of the Constitu
ton and all the earlier Presidents ever
associated consecutiveness with this
custom is, however, clearly not the
case. Thomas jefferson in his auto
biography tells us that throughout the
session of the Constitutional Conven.
ton of 1887, and up to the day of its
adjournment, all the members believ-
ed that the Presidential term should
be seven years, and the President
ineligible for election a second time.
Shortly before the adjournment of
the convention this conviction found
expression in a recorded vote, which
was changed to the present law, it
seems, by a chance accident amid the
hurry and confusion of ending the
session. So surprised was the gen.
eral public at this alteration that
three states-New York, Virginia and
North Carolina-immedia filed pro-
tests against it,
But in making the term Of a Pre-
sident four years and leaving open
the question of reelection the franz
ere of the Constitution had in mind
that faithful Executive might be en-
titled to one reelection, which would
make his entire tenure of Office about
equivalent to the single term of sew
Ell years, which it had been thought
proper to fix as the limit of any Pre-
sident's service.
A very clear summary of the
growth of the anti-third-term So
ment is given by Colonel George Har-
yey in the April number of the North
American Review. Colonel Harvey
shows that Washingtons refusal to
be considered for a third election was
not due to his mere desire to retire
to the quietude of private life, but
was a deliberate effort to confirm a
salutary principle
A third election for Washington
needed only his silent acqulescence;
his services had been unparalleled;
his character was beyond reproach,

his announcement refusing another

ity. And his act signalIzed the con-
flrmation in fact of the profession
which had been advanced in theory
Of the perpetuation no less than the
mere establishment of popular SOW
ereignty."
Jefferson held the strongest convic.
ton of the necessity of limiting the
tenure to two terms, and sought by
word and act to invest the custom
with the authority of universally
accepted precedent. Closing a para.
giaph'of his autobiography, he wrote:

North American article, asks:
rs it, then, in anticipation OF a
mighty crisis about to arise that Il
violent wrench in our governmental
system is deemed essential to the pre-
servation of our lives, our properties
and our liberties ? And who is the
man universally deemed most capa-
BILE of serving the public?" Is it
Roosevelt? Do all the people consider
that he is better equipped than Taft,
let us say, to deal with the trouble
some conditions in Mexico, in Cuba,
in Porto Rico, in China? Does any
body of intelligence? Do all the PEG,
ple regard Roosevelt as purer in
thought, word and deed than Taft
as more manly, more straightforward,
more sagacious, more patient, more
unselfsh, more devoted to his fellows,
more competent because of tempera-
ment, disposition even manners, to
meet all crises or any crisis that may
arise?"
What, asks the writer, is the real
object of those who support a move
ment to break an admittedly wise
tradition in order to crafty a personal
ambition and a personal vengerul-
ness?" The answer, perhaps, is not
easy; but We may remain confident
that the American people will not
repudiate a tradition which stands as
the fortress of popular government
against mere personal aggrandize-
ment.
