Memories Of Tripler's liquid air scheme,
whereby II was proposed to produce
limitless power out OF the atmosphere by
making ten pounds Of liquid air by the
expenditure Of three for fuel purposes.
are revived by q dispatch from Turin.
Italy, telling of tests made before scien-
lists there Of a machine invented by a
mechanician named Florio. by which II
is claimed perpetual motion is demon
strated. The dispatch continues:
1.-THE basic principle underlying the
method employed Is the contraction and
expansion of gas. The machine collects
the caloric energy Of the air, which Il
inexhaustible, and transforms 1t into me-
chanical energy. The air Is supplied au'
tomatically and the apparatus Is in con-
tinuous motion by reason OF the passage
of the gas from the warmer atmosphere
to the colder water"
This sounds amazingly like the Triplel
claims. which interested scientists for 9
little while and investors for somewhat
longer. but which ultimately fell into thu
scrap heap Of theories undemonstrated

Eugenic sermons are the latest devel-
opment in the movement which aims al
the breeding of a better
Eugenic and stronger race. Minis.
tiers over the country are
oeIM0As. calling upon the United
States public health service and state
and municipal heath officers for infor'
nation which they can use In developine
sermons on the relations Of the church te
eugenics and to the public health move
ment In general.
Already one Of the leading public
health men in the United States has been
asked to occupy the pulpit to preach 9
eugenic and health sermon, and Other
invitations to medical authorities are
expected to follow. A number Of church
men advocate the giving over Of at least
one Sunday year to the study and
thought of eugenics In the same manner
to the preaching Of sermons on interna-
tional peace. anti-tuberculosis campaigns
and mothers day. DR.. w. c. Rucker.
assistant surgeon general Of the United
States public health service, who recent
ly occupied the pulpit Of st. Marks Epis-
copal Church In Minneapolis, believes
that Of all institutions the church has
the nearest relation to the public health
problem
'The church has a great duty to per-
form In the future breeding OF the hui
man race" says DR.. Rucker. 1T has
already made a step in the right direc-
ton In many cases by demanding health
certificates from persons wishing to en-
ter into the holy bonds Of matrimony
This is an equivalent to passing life
| insurance examination, and while be-
lieve that 1t is a good measure In every
way. the demanding Of a health certif-
| cate from marrying parties merely
scrapes the surface of the public health
problem. Churchmen and churchwomen
must be taught that their sons and
daughters should not enter into the mar
ried state without a full knowledge OF
the genealogy Of the contracting parties
and believe that ministers of the church
should also take cognizance of the ante
cedents OF the persons whom they are
about to marry. knowledge Of heredity
before persons are permitted to marry
seems to me most necessary, although
realize that the thought may seem a lit

any effort even to restrict the marriage

deception. When Roumania niobilized II
was the signal for anti Hungarian mani

change in the feelings of the German

Roumania, it should be repeated. knows
OF Austria's double play manifested by
Austria's gift to Bulgaria OF 5000 rifles
Austria made one more effort to recoup
Bulgarian intente. That effort failed.
In the recent conflict the anti-Servians
hoped for a crushing victory by Bulgaria
over her Balkan allies. The German
journals commenced by announcing bui.
garian victories over Seryians and Greeks
but when the truth was known the reao-
ton from the deception was great.
The last waltz Of Bulgaria with Austria
had no success. for Bulgaria was dissatis-
fed with her partner. Roumania Is also
dissatisfied with Austrian policy. which
for a fact kept her from joining In the
campaign against the Turk

convictions as to their respective inter-
clude at It is impossible to count upon

position achieved has been furnished and

OF peace, but their work has been tainted
and corrupted. Long years must elapse
before their faults may be atoned for.

q protocol without articles promises

Why? Three vital questions were left
unsolved, and each contained the germs
of strife: Albania. Macedonia. the Ae-

questions-they were International Italy.

failure to do what she set out to do

The Deutsche Tagesseltung expresses its
views thus: Bulgaria returns to the
bosom Of Russia. There were two possi-
bilities for Bulgaria to get out OF hole;
one was an entente. at any price and an
alliance with Roumania followed by q VIC
