Are We Coming to the Bee Idea Of Life

West interviewed the members of
a graduating class of girls in a
great school yesterday, and out of
thirty girls, twenty-four said
that they hoped they would not
have to marry. Marriage was

Driftwood, driftwood! From

The bees have arranged all
this affair of the feminine upris-
ing-arranged 1t years and years

The queen bee rules. She
breeds the young, divides the
hive into workers and drones.
There is no mingling of the two
classes at all. One bee is to gath
er honey, one is selected to found
the future of the hive. When his
work is done, out he goes. Is
that what we are coming to, we
humans, some day?

VVTITHIN a few weeks past
w have been asked to
address two different
aeronautical societies on the Gu
rious subject Of the possibilities
Of trip to the moon.
AS far as | am aware this does
not indicate an intention on the
part of any aviator to essay
voyage to our satellite. but, at
least 1t shows that the flying in
stinct is growing by what it feeds
upon, and that, having navigated
the air, practical men are giving
a little extra rein to their imagi-
nations, and wondering whether
the empire Of birds marks the Ill
innate frontier Of human con-
quest.
In fact, the dream OF going to
the moon, which, in every age,
has occupied daring minds, is
hardly more impracticable at the
present time than would have
been a project, springing up in the
mind of Balboa, of making ships
sail across from the Atlantic to
the great Western ocean which
he saw from his paak in Darien.
But II is not the invention of
either the aeroplane or the dirig-
ible balloon that stimulates
thoughtful minds at the present
time to consider, half-seriously,
the idea of a lunar voyage. The
success of those inventions, defy
ing scientific predictions and
probabilities, only forms an in
centive. It turns mems minds
hopefully to things that hereto
fore they have regarded as lying
beyond the limits of human pow
er.
It has always been So Every
great advance has been a mar
vel at the beginning, derided or
laughed at Each one of them
has been a victorious birth of the
imagination. The greatest drag
on progress is lack of faith in the
hidden capacities of man.

tically cease to exist at no very
great elevation, and cuts short
off the road of the balloon and the
aeroplane.
We must turn to something
else. The buoyant force of air
enables us to overcome the
gravitative attraction of the
earth only up to a moderate
height. Beyond that something
more is needed. / have learned
with surprise that many intelli-
gent persons suppose that If we
once got outside the air motion
would be unimpeded. For in
stance, a man said to me the
other day:
Suppose an aeroplane could
mount straight up until it passed
the limits of the atmosphere,
then having nothing more to inn
peds its motion, il would go on
with whatever velocity it had
when it left the air."
In fact, this could only occur
in case the velocity Of lie aero
plane amounted to near,y seven
miles per second, for t;at veloc-
ity would be required 10 COM
pletely overcome the pull of the
earths attraction. Otherwise it
would fall back to the earth.
This is the reason why Jules
Verne. in his amusing story of
"A Voyage to the Moon" had his
Adventures shot out of an enor-
nous cannon. Only in that way.
he thought, could the requisite
initial velocity be obtained.
A Bold Plan.
But a bold mind might, in view
Of recent discoveries, speculate
on the illimitable power that may
be obtained from unlocking the
energies Of the atoms OF matter.
Professor Thomson has calcu-
lated that a single gram of hy-
drogen has within Iit sufficient
energy to lift a million ions
hundred yards hight Does any
body imagine that that unlimited
store of energy is going forever
to remain uncontrolled by human
genius? We have discovered it's
existence; the next thing is to
take it and use it.
Suppose we had it under con-
troll, as we shall have it some
time. Then reflect upon the close
relation between atomic phe-
nomena and electricity. and re-
call the familiar experiment of
making bits of pith fly away
from an electrically charged ball.
If we could construct some kind
Of a car that could be powerfully
charged with electric energy we
might be able to make it fly
away from the earth as the pith
balls fly from the charged con-
ductor of the electric machine.
The Problem Solved.
Then it would be necessary to
establish system of control by
which the speed and direction
could be regulated by varying the
charge-AND THE PROBLEM
OF NAVIGATING SPACE
WOULD BE SOLVED. I have
developed this { of course purely
hypotheticaD idea somewhat far
Their in story called "A Column
bus Of Space"
Such a method would avoid all
the difficulties, really insuper
able, that hampered Jules
Verne's plan of a projectile start
ing at velocity of almost seven
miles per second.
However, when we get the
atomic energies under control our
first efforts will be directed to
making more money out of them.
and trips to the moon will only
begin to pay after We nave got
tired of purely earthly things.

Only Beginning.

That is high authority for be-
lieving that we are only just be-
ginning to discover the extent Of
our control over nature, and such
things as wireless telegraphy, X
ray photography and the disin-
tegration Of atoms. with conse-
quent unlocking Of tremendous
concealed energy, prove that hith-
erto we have been like the man
who buried his talents in the
earth instead of making them
produce ten or a hundred fold.
Suppose We look at the sub
ject of visiting the moon in the
light Of present knowledge. The
distance in itself is nothing
24o,0 900 miles! Many a sea cap
tain has sailed much farther than
that 1t is less than ten times
the circuit of the earth.
II the atmosphere extended
from the earth to the moon, we
could go there now by modifying
our present apparatus. At a
hundred daysl But at a height
of five or six miles the atmos-
phere becomes so rare that we
could not live in it without an ar
tifieial supply, Yet unnamed
balloons have gone ten miles
high, and meteors take fire from
friction at an elevation of a hun
bred miles or more.

REPORTER OF BIBLICAL TIMES
Had the American Freshman Beaten
in the Matter of Words.

Tao The american Freshman Beaten
in the Matter of Words.
Chicago Record-Herald In a stray
newspaper clipping intense admiration
is shown for a western editor and the
stirring thoughts he had expressed
concerning the reporters of Biblical
days. 1t seems that he started with
the admonition: Don't imagine those
old fellows did not know how to write
for a newspaper He cited the ninth
chapter Of John, the story of the mir
acle OF the blind man, as the finest
example OF contemporary reporting.
He declared that the reporter was on
h ground and that he told what he
saw in clear, short style. with few
exceptions the words are entirely
monosyllables."
Inc enthusiasm evinced is catching,
but the Stshort words must give as
pause. What was the editor thinking
about? Apparently he had the much
praised Saxon of the King James YER
in mind, and there is no evil
dence that the reporter could have
told a Saxon from a hairy Ainu, or
that the words of either of them
would have been ineligible to him.
In fact, a learned Grecian informs us
that these barbarians were without
the vocational training for reporting,
and that the story was written down
in his language. AS an example of
the m~onosyllable in one short SEN
tence he presents the following:

menos).

suffering from such a great moral
awakening that he threw his brain

RAILROAD ~TRESPASSERs.

Boston Globe: Nobody knows how
many people use railroads tracks as
highways, but the numper must be
very large, because two years ago $500
persons were killed in his country
while t~respassing on railroad property.
This was an absolute economic loss,
because h greater number of those
killed were not tramps or hoboes, as
one might easily suppose, but school
boys taking a short cut, and others
who thought to save time or honey
This loss is distributed all over the
country, but one trunk line railroad in
New England had 1872 of these fatal
accidents. Almost invariably the fam
lily of the person killed deserved to re-
cover nothing from the railroad, and
only a few of the trespassers were
prudent enough to have carried life
insurance, so the incident turned out
badly all around.
It is perhaps almost idle to call at
tention to this situation, because the
problem is as old as ~railroading itself,
and yet there is a remedy which in
time might make itself felt. 1t is for
local police officers to arrest and local
magistrates to punish by fine all those
who endeaVor to use railroad tracks as
If they were public highways. Such a
policy vigorously enforced would at
least reduce the toll of the fatalities.
