BLESSING OF GOOD HEREDITY
That BLOOD Will TeI'' Is Shown In
the Descendants Of Some Early
Americans.

We have heard so much in these
latter days about the evils of bad he.
redity that it might be well to reckon
for a moment some of the blessings
of good heredity.
II 1t had not been for the descend
ants of Jonathan Edwards our eastern
universities and colleges would be
short their most distinguished presi-
dents.
II 1t had not been for the descend
ants Of a single Austrian who came
to this country three generations ago
Sir Thomas Upton would have had
pretty easy work lifting the yachting
trophy. That Austrian's name was
Herreshoff
John Adams was very mediocre
president of the United States, but a
drst-class minister to England, and a
sound patriot. His son, John Quincy
Adams, originated the Monroe doc
trine,
In the third generation came Charles
Francis Adams, war minister to Eng
Lord Palmerston down and made good
with it; while scattered around the
country are some hundreds of less
noted descendants of the original j.
A.; all of them remarkably above the
average in intelligence and character.
In colonial days an Irishman of Eng
fish descent and his wife, who was
Irish without any explanations, came
to Virginia. Their name was Preston
-Four governors of Virginia were de-
scended from this Irish pair. Their
seed gave governors to South Caro-
lima, Louisiana, Kentucky, New York,
Missouri and California.
In the Civil war twelve of their de-
scendants reached the rank of general
in one army or the other: and the
colonies they produced are almost too
numerous to mention.
Heredity works both ways; but
usually the right way.

Fatalities Amona the Wounded.


A report to the army commission
made by the director of the medical
department at the ministry of war in
France, discloses the wonderful re-
suits achieved by modern surgery.
The wounded, between September
Is and November 80, numbered $780,
900, approximately. Fifty-four and one
half per cent of them returned to the
firing line. Twenty-four and one-half
per cent were sent out on furlough
during convalescerce and have since
returned to the front. Seventeen per
cent are still in hospital, to complete
their recovery One and forty-eight
hundredths per cent are unfit for fur
Their service Two and forty-eight
hundredths per cent died from the
effects of their injuries.
The mortality would probably fall
as low as one ker cent if the wound
ed could be received from the battle
lines with less delay and there were
enough professional surgeons to treat
them all.

The reading world has become "a

of flying machines that are called a
"Wright," "Curtiss." "Bleriot." a
"Farman," q Bristol" q "Morane-
Saulnier' and other names fastened to
plane by a builder or an aviator
who has succeeded in fashioning a
model differing from some other
model.
No flying machine is called Lang
ley" in commemoration of the crea-
tive and original service to aviation
rendered by the late Prof. Samuel
Pierrepont Langley Of Washington
Two citizens of the capital have Joined
in the neutrality-suspicious. it might
even be called a movement-to have
the generic name Langley applied
to flying machines that are heavier
than air.
The suggestion seems to have been
brought forward first by Col. Archi-
bald Hopkins OF Washington, and
Frank Warren Hackett has seconded
the motion, suggesting that perhaps
the commander in chief of the army
and navy, upon this subject being
brought to his attention, might favor
Colonel Hopkins proposal and give d.
rections that henceforth the govern
ment airships shall be called Lang
leys." Mr. Hackett has written that
"the unselflsh devotion of the late
Samuel Pierrepont Langley to the solu-
ton of the problem of aerial flight
to the discovery of the principle-has
been admitted and admired by all we'll
informed Americans and that our
country ought to enjoy the honor that
would attach to the coming into use
of this term"

REAL MEANING Of zloNlsM
RshIrth Of Nation In Palestine 10
Movement for Greater Freedom
Of the Jews.

Inc Jewish movement called Zion
ism is not movement for the restora-
ton of the Jews to Palestine. The
little land could not support more than
100000 of the 100000 Jews. 1t Is
q movement to win more freedom for
Jews everywhere. But the new birth
OF a Jewish nation in Palestine is in
process of practical completion.
A generation ago a few Jews emf
grated from Roumania and Russia tc
Palestine because convinced that the
Jews undying yearning for the land Of
Abraham is a fact of the deepest
meaning. 1t is evidence of the sur
vival of nationality that has shown
its fitness to survive. Those pilgrims
and their successors have demon
strated that Palestine Is fit for the
modern Jew and that he is fit for the
land.
Where the land was treeless and sup.
posed to be worthlessly sterile the col
onists have caused the almond and
the olive, the grape and the orange,
wheat and the sister cereals TO thrive
and abound. They are changing the
desert into a garden At the same
time the material development of the
Jewish colonies has been accompanied
by no less remarkable development of
the Hebrew colonizers both socially
and spiritually. Hebrews, after a
sleep of more than two thousand years
as dead language, has again be-
come living tongue, serving as the
medium of intercommunication be-
tween Jews from many countries of
different languages. The renascence
OF the Hebrew language has in turn
acted powerfully to revive the spirit
OF Jewish nationality.
1t is strange instance of the turns
OF history's wheel that nearly twenty
three centuries after the return of Ju-
dean exiles from ancient Babylon,
which for millenniums has been bur
led beneath the dust of ages, modern
Jews now return again to the land of
their fathers and build up another
Hebrew commonwealth.
