Will Visit Moon
In a Few Years

PARIS, Sept. 13.-M. Ernest Arch
deacon, writing of the marvellous pro-
gress made in aerial science, expresses
the conviction that in few centuries
aerial navigation, as we now know it,
will have become as out of date as the
horse is today as means of trans
portation.
"For numerous reasons" he re
marks in LA Controverse," ''it ap-
pears unlikely that flying machines
will ever considerably exceed 125
miles an hour. At this rate we shall
take 200 hours, or a little more than
eight days, to make circuit of the
earth. 1t is evident that we shall soon
discover something infinitely better
than the aeroplane. 1t is certain that
our children will girdle the earth in
time Of which we at present can
have no idea One sees at once what
a fantastic revolution this will cause
in the worlds commerce. All the peo-
pies of the earth will then form sole
and single nation. Our plane will have
become much too small for the mobil-
ity and activity of its inhabitants, who
will evidently be bored to see ever the
same little landscapes with which
their eyes are satiated.
"The earth having become too small
for us and too decrepit, we shall be
fain to go and visit the other planets,
unless the inhabitants of one of the
planets in question are beforehand
with us and come to pay us a surprise
visit one of these days.
A L. A L. I
calculations of NJ Ensault- Pelterie,
the new means of inter planetary
transport will be Jules Verne's cannon
ball transformed into a continuously
-propelling rocket. The problem
is to give this rocket a celf contained
velocity Of eleven kilOmeters (nearly
seven miles) a second, which would be
sufficient for it to leave the circle of
terrestrial attraction. At this We
locity our planet could be girdled in &c
minutes, and the journey from Paris
to Nice covered in under two minutes
''NOw, with q kilogrammes (about
so pounds) Of radium, a projectile Of
one ton could be shot from the earth
to the moon in about 40 hours The
molecular projections of radium would
be made to work by reaction. The
difficulty is to find how to release in A.
hours all the energy contained in the
radium, which in the present state
Of science it would take 2800 years to
set free.
"The difficulty is not insuperable
when we think what has already been
achieved. With 400 kilogrammes, that
is to say, three -ffths of ton, or
board, visit might be made to Venus
and back to earth again"

Heavy Rainstorm
Relieves DrOuth

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 13.-Heavy rains
which fell throughout Eastern and
Central Missouri yesterday broke the
drouth, which in many places was the
worst experienced in half century.
The damage to property, however,
greatly overshadowed the benefit to
crops and livestock.
At Ozark, where a cloudburst was
followed by a downpour of seven
inches of rain within 20 minutes. roads
were washed out and bridges carried
away. The city was deluged.
H. J. OFT, his wife and their chill
dren were fishing in Finley creek when
the water rose so rapidly they were
unable to get to dry land. The water
had risen above their waists when a
farmer drove his team into the creek
and rescued them.
At Springfield two inches of rain
fell within a short time. This was the
first heavy precipitation for three
months The downpour relieved the
city of the most serious water famine
in its history.

in a furious battle with a swordfish,

STATE UNIVERSITY MAY

That the University of Nevada may
yet get interest of five per cent from

600 acres of land grant, invested
in bonds. is the opinion of DR. J.. T..

in his report 10 push the matter be-
fore the state investment board.
Sometime ago at a regents meet
ing it was estimated By the board
that the state owes the university a
large sum. owing 10 its failure to in
vest the university money from the
land grant in bonds at ) per cent in
terest. Il vas decided. however, not
10 force the state to refund the dif-
ference. Recently the state board OF
investment has been re-investing
school funds in bonds bearing higher
rate of interest. Or. Stubbs, as a
member of the board. has taken M

will push the point they will probably
succeed in getting the additional in
