Everyday Manners

THERE is in manners, as In

a danger point Of depar-
ture, a slight relaxing of our high
standards. scarcely noticeable al
first, but departure, and very
soon there is further relaxing. 1t
must be remembered that man
ners are what purify or corrupt,
exalt or debase, refine or bar
barrie. Unconsciously our man
ners act on morals, and by their
quality manners aid morals or de-
stroy them
The only safety in manners de
ponds on avoiding the first steps
away from the ideal of perfection.
If we find ourselves a little more
selfish, irritable, little more in
different to the feelings Of others,
we need to be on our guard.
Courtesy moves along the level
ways where most of life goes on,
and generally has to do with the
comparatively small matters
which make up life. Kindly words.

from hour to hour. moment to

those with whom we come in con

Instead of being satisfied with
not having very rude manners, we
must take positive and not a

definite progress toward true
courtesy and graCiousnosS. In

Prof Hobhouse saw and felt
the resolve of the best people in
America to remove the shame of
the cities-indifference to the
problems of social need. What
struck him most forcibly was the
advanced state of opinion con-
corning social duties prevalent in
universities. He had to explain
to his countrymen how much this
means. The average Briton has
difficulty in grasping the fact that
we have almost as many univer-

everywhere, they cry out at ev-
cry suspicion of fresh case, and
they will not, as we do, acquiesce
in any hushing up. The men of
intellect and education have en-
tirely thrown off their Indifference
to public affairs. Politics form
the constant theme of eager dis
cussion; and, if many good men
still hesitate to enter the politi-

indifference, but because they
have not yet gathered sufficient

1.-TWO feats of aviation re-
Gently achieved in Europe
are worthy of special at
tention. On September % Gar
ros, one of the most successful of
Frances "airmen," started from
F'rejus at $50 o'clock in the
morning and at 1:45 o'clock in
the afternoon of the same day
landed at Biserta, on the coast of
Africa, having traversed the Med
iterranean Sea at its widest place,
without stopping, In five minutes
less than eight hours The dis
lance travelled was about 496
miles and the average speed about
62 miles per hour.
This will be a great source of
encouragement for those who be-
lieve that an aeroplane can fly
across the Atlantic Ocean-a feat
that will undoubtedly be accom-
plished before many years have
pdSSeu. II is only duOul d ooHCH
years ago that Lord Kelvin, the
foremost authority in science In
his day, declared emphatically
that human flight by mechanical
means was mpossible-and now a
man flies. with double the speed
of the swiftest steamship, across
the Mediterranean! 1t Is danger

matter what his abilities or his

to fix bounds to what his fellow

the word universal means one

fluctuations of radiant energy are
so far out beyond the very faint
violet end of the spectrum that
one extra word ultra has been
added, and they are called the Ill

limits of all imagination hitherto
invoked on delicate manipulation
are fulfilled in the new ultra

all unawares in her esoteric work,

sites as he has graduates. Ex-
planning that in American uni
versities sociological subjects are
developed to an extent unheard of
in England, Mr. Hobhouse goes
on:
Altogether one might hazard
the prediction that what the uni
versities think to-day, the United
States will think tomorrow; and
the universities are thinking in
terms of a heightened social con-
seriousness, and singularly broad
and general Interpretation of So
cial duty and the common good"
The opportunity comes to each
individual citizen to register at
the ballot box his practical in

British statesmen, since. the
early nineties, have desired to
have a cordial cooperative I'M
derstanding with the United
States. The desire in England
has grown stronger gradually.
and has been taken into account
by German statesmen They be-
lieve that the American people
would be as ready as any other
to form an alliance for a tempo
rary object, should the need arise.
The German Government does not
expect to form an alliance with
the United States as an instru-
ment in European politics; but it
is of decisive Importance that the
United States and Great Britain
should not form a close political
understanding. Germany would,
therefore, hesitate to the last de-
gree before taking an open posi-
tive position against the United
States in China, in South or Cen
trial America, in Liberia, or in any
part of the world The only pos
sibility of her doing SO would be
some compelling reason in Eu-

twenty fifth year of his
reign, is a character as interest

throws light upon the Govern
mental policy of Germany, as well
as on the magnetic personality of

ICES all and sees the United States
in their potentialities as an
American does. This ardor of
appreciation in so convinced a
monarchist indicates the mental
breadth of the Emperor as a man
and his faculty of projecting him
self with sympathetic insight into
national system so sharply diff
ferent from that of Germany.
The Emperor. in an endeavor
to realize his conviction that Ger
many and the United States may
learn more from each other than
from other countries, has caused

40 deposit by very delicate
electrical methods upon
perfectly fat and smooth
glass an excessively thin film of
bromide of silver without admix-
lures of gelatine. Ordinary plates
have all along been deposited
with silver bromide incorporated
with gelatine to hold the layer OF
bromide molecules on the glass.
Then the minute molecules were
hindered in any chemical reac-
ton, in any motion they might at
tempt to make by the molecules
of the gelatine. But If the layer
of molecules could be attached to
the glass without being mixed
with any other substance, then
the efficiency of each molecule
would be vastly enhanced. The
photographic constituencies would
become so much increased that
unheard- of waves of energy from
hitherto unknown from their ex-
cessive shortness, could be de-
tected. This has been done, and
energy waves have been discov-
cred whose length is only one
tenth mi, /. e., one-tenth of a
micron. A micron is the one
thousandth part of millimeter,
and a millimeter is the one-thou-
sandth part of a standard inter-
national meter, original now in
Paris. But one inch contains 254
millimeters. A micron is the
one one thousandth part of this,
but the new short waves are

Social Duty and the Common Good

DROF. l.. T. HOBHOUSE, an
Englishman with eyes in his
head, was in this country two
years ago. He came determined
not to write his impressions" of
America. He returned home in
the same mind But he broke
down. What he found here was
so entirely different from what his
countrymen suppose exists here
that he was moved to set down in
order the facts as he saw them.
He writes:
The American people are in
full revolt against the domination
of capital. Far from acquiescing
in political corruption they have
become more acutely sensitive to

by the aviator Pegoud at the
aerodrome Of Buc on September
81. With a Bleriot monoplane
and Gnome motor of fifty horse
power he rose to height of about
$500 feet, and then caused his
machine to make complete SOM
ersault in the air, after which it
quietly resumed it's course. The
daring adventurer was fastened
by straps in his seat
Next he repeated feat which
he had already performed on Sep
TENDER 2 by describing vertical
S in the air, flying part of the
time head downward. Finally he
turned the machine into a vertical
position, tail uppermost, and made
it describe a ring in the air
bringing it back again into a nor
NAL pose.
These things may, at first sight
appear to be mere dare devil
feats, without any useful pur-
pose but they are not such. A
definite aim guides all these
thrilling experiments, which are
intended not only to develop the
powers and possibilities of the
aeroplane, but to enable the avia-
tor to acquire complete control
over his machine under the most
adverse circumstances. Man must
be as free as the birds in the
air before he can become the
master of the new method of
locomotion which he has so re
