Are We Coming to the Bee Idea of Life

a graduating class of girls in a
great school yesterday, and out of
.thirty girls, twenty four said
that they hoped they would not

said.

That is high authority for be-

ginning to discover the extent OF
our control over nature, and such
things as wireless telegraphy, X

quent unlocking of tremendous

Suppose we look at the sub
ject of visiting the moon in the
light of present knowledge. The
distance in itself is nothing
100000 miles! Many a sea cap
tain has sailed much farther than
that. It is less than ten times
the circuit of the earth.
If the atmosphere extended
from the earth to the moon, we
could go there now by modifying
our present apparatus. At a
hundred days! 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
tificial supply. Yet unnamed
balloons have gone ten miles
high, and meteors take fire from

w III have " be been TASK asked ito to
address two different
aeronautical societies on the Gu
rious subject of the possibilities
of a trip to the moon.
As far as am aware this does
not indicate an intention on the
part of any aviator to essay a
voyage to our satellite. but, at
least it 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 ul-
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 It is not the invention Of
either the aeroplane or the dirig-
ibie balloon that stimulates
thoughtful minds at the present
time to consider, half seriously,
the idea of 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
err.
1t 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.

A Trip to the Moon

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. I have learned
with surprise nat many intelli-
gent persons suppose tnat if we
once got outside the air motion
would be unimpeded For in
stance, a man said to me the
other day:
Suppose an aeropIane could
mount straight up until it passed
the limits of the atmosphere,
then having nothing more to i'm
pede its motion, it would go on
with whatever velocity it had
when it left the air."
In fact, this could only occur
in case the velocity Of the aero
plane amounted to near;y seven
miles per second. for that veIoc-
ity would be required to COM
pletely overcome the pull of the
earth's 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 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 it sufficient
energy to lift a million tons
hundred yards high! 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 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 a system of control by
which the speed and direction
could DE regulated by varying the
charge-AND THE PROBLEM
OF NAVIGATING SPACE
WOULD BE SOLVED. 1 have

hypotheticaD idea somewhat far

Such a method would avoid all
the difficulties, really insuper-

poets of a nation count for so
much in its history. They explain
the people to themselves because
they reveal what is in the hearts
of the people. If by some great
calamity every formal history of
the English people were destroyed
and its poetry remained, it would
be easy to reconstruct the story of
the development of the English
race from its poetry from Chaucer
to Kipling. No one can understand
what has happened in America I'M
less he reads the American poets.
Bryant, Whittier, Lowell, Lonsfel-
low and Whitman, Poe and Emer-
son, have not contributed chapters
to a formal history of the United
States; but they have each written
chapters in great revelation of
what Americans have cared for,
have thought about, and have be-
lieyed in; and they have told the
story of the growth of the Ameri-
can spirit.-The Mentor.

4 Mistaken Idea

Many people have The idea that
poetry is a pleasant, but useless,
form OF writing; that it does not
have any serious relation to real
life; that reading poetry is de-
lightful recreation for the mind,
but not a discipline of the Will or
4 necessity of the spiritual life.
IN this country most men and a
,arge number of women are work
ers Every lay with them. except
Sunday and holidays, is working
day They have something DEF
mite TO do between nine o'clock III
the morning and five o'clock in the
afternoon, with an hour or half an
hour for luncheon and an occasional
holiday, and, if they are fortunate,
short vacation in the summer
months. As working people they
gain their living, but they do not
make their lives; for life is a great
deal more than doing work with
ones hands and getting food and
clothes. These things are necessary,
but they are only the beginning of
life. We live in our affections, our
interests. our tastes, our convictions
and our principles. Simply to exist
is not to live; it is merely to make
life possible. Life goes on from the
point where We feed and clothe and
house ourselves: if we do not get
beyond that point we are prisoners.
1t is the same with nations This
has been called a commercial ma
ton: and many OF our critics have
told us that in this country we care
for nothing but dollars. Our Ances
tors cared for great deal more
or they would not have come here.
Many of them came at the begin
ming because they loved something
more than money; they brought
great many convictions, principles,
ideals and a world of sentiment
with them; and Americans in every
generation, While they have been
actively at work with their hnads,
have kept their hearts above their
work. They have never been con-
tent with piling up money or max
ing a living by manual work. They
have never been afraid of the dan
gers of pioneer work; of the i'm
mense toll of breaking in great
farms, building cities and opening
mines; but they have worked for
independence, for education,f for the
of their children, for
the making of homes; and these are
largely matters of sentiment.
