Falling Up Out of a Balloon.

the earth. but will continue rising inb'
the air for an appreciate time. If the
air machine were stopped in its ascent
at the time il could catch the maa
as he came down. If the airship were
ascending at the rate OF thirty two feet
second the man would rise sixteen
feet before beginning 10 fall toward
the earth. Thus. by reducing the speed
of its ascent. the vessel might keep by
the side of the man and rescue him.
The reason why the man rises is the
same as the reason for bullets rising
when shot from gun into the air
both the man and the bullet are given
a velocity upward. and it takes SONS
time for gravity to negative that
velocity.-GlasgOw News.

EXPLANATION OF
SEARCHING LINER
Hear British Cruiser May Not
Have Violated Rights-U. S.
Consul to Report.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-THE gov
ernment today awaited an official ex-
PLANTATION demanded from England of
the violation of both American and
Mexican rights by crew from a
British cruiser which entered Pro-
greso, Mexico, and searched the
American steamer Zealandia. Cen
eral Carranza was expected to ask
this government to nike vigorous rep
reservations on Mexico's behalf, as
England has not recognized the Car
rama government and has no official
relations established.
American Consul Germon at Pro-
greso has been asked to clear up de-
tails regarding the incident, to ascer-
tain whether the Zealandia was at
anchor in the harbor when boarded
by the British crew or outside the
harbor.
1t was learned today that the Zea-
landia carried no guns or contraband
The British boaders left after q fu-
tile search for evidence.
The navy department has informa-
tion today that the British cruiser
may not have violated either Ameri-
can or Mexican rights in boarding
and searching the Zealandia. That
the vessel was anchored off Progreso
/ harbor outside the the bar and out
side of the three-mile neutral zone,
was the advices of the navy depart
ment. If the navy's information Is
correct. the British cruiser had the
legal right to board and search the
| Zealandia, for she was on the high
seas, according to maritime law.
The state department has asked
! the American consul at Progreso to
report regarding this situation.

ToDAY's BEAUTY HINTS

To whiten and beautify the com.
pIexion permanently We have found
no better preparation than a lotion
made by dissolving four ounces of
spurmax in half pint of hot water,
then adding two teaspoonfuls glyeerin.
This removes any pimples, shiny,
muddy or sallow appearance, and will
make. anyone's skin clear, smooth
and velvety. II does not show or rub
off like powder; in fact, it seems a
part of the skin; and for removing
tan and freckles is unequaled.
1t is necessary to shampoo more
frequently in the warmer weather be-
cause Of excessive dust and the fact
that the head perspires more and is
usually more exposed TO the weather.
The easiest to use and quickest dry
ing shampoo that We can recommend
TO our readers can be prepared very
cheaply by dissolying a teaspoonful
of eanthrox, obtained from your drug

rubbed into the scalp creates a thick
lather, soothing and cooling in its

BERLIN, Nov. IL Correspondence
OF the Associated Press.
Stewart Chamberlain, who, although
the son of an English admiral, has
become a German, has contributed TO
one of the Hamburg newspapers a
statement of his views on the present
and future relations between England
and Germany.
He is convinced that the war De-
tween the two countries will last for
at least a hundred6years.
He does not mean, he explains, that
the present fighting will continue for
so long a time. but rather that an in
ternational struggle has commenced,
of which the world war is but phase.
"The German word 'kreig, oe-
serves Mr.. Chamberlain, means
much more than the English word
war or the French 'guerre'; 1t really
signifies an obstinate persistence III
the endeavor to accomplish some pur-
pose. In this sense the war between
England and Germany was long
feared and every effort was made to
avert it. but in the end it was wanton-
ly brought about. Now we must steel
ourselves, for the contest will be coilE

been concluded as it is being con-
Quoted now.'
The Germans will easily mend their
relations with italy and Russia, de-
ciares Chamberlain. France is likely
TO be a disturbing element, but he is
convinced that force and sagacity will
ultimately master that difficulty.
with England, however, the matter
is different. For the struggle between
England and Germany is no mere
fight for physical ascendancy. Each
nation wishes to secure the ascend
apcy for it's world philosophy. The
essential aim of the English Weltan-
schauung is the development of the
Will the German is devoted to
artistically directed knowledge and
action.
1.-The English philosophy produces
energetic, able, but ignorant undis-
ciplined individuals, whereas the Ger
man method produces great mental
power in the individual and the
obedient submission of all to one
great purpose. Thus, the average
Englishman is not nearly so well
educated as the German, and is less
given to reflection"
