A NEW AMERICAN DISCOVERY

Odd Lot Review: Columbus discov-
cred America in 1492, America is
discovering herself something like
500 years late. This country is
learning for the first time how COM
pletely endowed with resources is the
United States. In the beginning, this
country was dependent on supplies
from abroad. We have successively
attained economic and political indie
pendence. Last of all has come the
attainment of our financial indepen-
dence. World leadership in all con-
structive enterprise now rests with
the United States. Leadership en-
tails responsibility. In the next
stage of progress, Americans must
not only work hard but think on
broader lines than ever before.

Law Adopts the New

First-Every nation has the right
to exist, to protect and to conserve irs

plies the right nor justifes the act Of
the state to protect itself or conserve
its existence by the commission of un-
lawful acts against innocent and unof-
Tending states.
Second-Every nation has the righs
to independence in the sense that il
has a right to the pursuit of happ,-
ness and is free to develope itself
without interference or control from
other states, provided that in so do
ing it does not interfere with or VIC
late the just rights of other states.
Third:-Every nation is in law anc
before law the equal of every other
state composing the society of nations
and all states have the right to
claim, and according to the declara-
tion of independence of the United
States, to assume, am ng the power,
of the earth, the senarate and equal
station to which the laws of nature
and of natures God entitle them.
.Fourth-Every nation has the righ,
to territory within defined boundaries
and to exercise exclusive jurisdiction
over this territory, and all persons
whether native or foreign found

Fifth-Every nation entitled to
right by the law of nations is enti-
led to have that right respected and

right and duty are co-relatives, and

OFFER SPECIAL VEHICLE
californians Have sNew Wagon to
Carry Machinery.

For transporting machinery of great
weight from one point TO another in
the mining districts of California. u
specially designed vehicle, which is
fitted with wheels approximately ten
feet in diameter and drawn by a
caterpillar tread tractor, is used. The
wheels are provided with spokes
which are set in the same manner rs
those OF bicycle wheel, and are
placed on heavy steel aXles highly
arched in the middle.
The purpose of this arching is to
enable the load to be suspended be-
meath the aXles instead OF being car
ried above them. This materially
lessons the difficulty of hoistinS ma
chinery onto the bed of the wagon
and also eliminates the danger of the
vehicle being overturned on account
of the load being carried high. Tho

MILLION FOR WIRELESS

St. Louis Star; An appropriation

American Institute Of

A Pan-American Declaration of
the Rights of Nations" prepared by
Secretary Lansing and DR.. James
Brown Scott and adopted in executive
session by the American Institute of
International Law at it's recent con
vention held in Washington under the
auspices of the Pan-American Scien-
tific Congress, is made public by DR..
Scott, president of the institute.
Although the declaration lacks the
formal ratification of the twenty-one
American republics, and, therefore,
is not an official document, it's franz
ers believe that it correctly sets forth
official views of the American COM
monwealths. Before the institute
was called upon to consider it the dec
laration was submitted to and approx
ed by the chief authorities on inter
national law in the South American
republics, including Ambassador Su-
arez and DR.. Alexandra Alvarez of
Chile. 1t was unanimously adopted
January by the institute, whose
membership of 105 is made up of five
experts on international law from
each of the twenty-one American re-
publics.
The declaration, it is said, embodies
the Institutes conception of only ele-
mental national rights and will be
further considered at the next meet
ing of the institute in Havana next
year. 1t contains five primary sec
tions which were fashioned with the
United States Declaration of 1ndepen-
dence in mind as model.

laration:

- STELLATIoNS

stars are Embroidered on Umbrellas
of Blue Hues.
Geographers have struggled long
with the problem of mapping the
spherical earth on flat surface, with
the result that the public has ac-
quired a most distorted impression Of
relative geographical positions. 1t
10 now admitted that the earth can
not be studied properly without q
globe. In the same way efforts have
been made to depict the heavens upon
= fiat map, with the result that many
of the consultations are SO distorted
as to be- positively unrecognizable
Some time ago writer in the Scien-
tific American suggested that a COM
mon umbrella might serve as a celes-
tial globe, or at least half globe, by
having the stars painted on it in their
proper relative positions.
This would provide a very handy
star map, which could be carried to
the point of observation in folded po
sition and then opened out to semi
spherical form representing the ap-
parent form of the heavens. By point
ing the umbrella stick at the north
star, the umbrella could be readily
moved to a position corresponding
with the heavens at the particular
time, and then 1t would be a simple
matter to pick out the various con-
stellations.
The idea has been further improved
upon by o. F. Barcus of Shanghai,
China. A dark blue silk parasol is
used, and on it the stars are either
painted or embroidered. Each para
sol represents onehalf OF the celestial
sphere, and by using two map of the
entire heavens Is obtained. For the
purpose Of teaching astronomy to
school children the parasol NAV be
set in table. The plane of the OBJ
servers horizonais represented by the
table top. which has an opening cut
sol projects. The umbrella stick Is
pole of the heavens, and makes an
angle with the surface of the table
equal to the latitude of the place.
BY means of clockwork the parasol
ia reyolved at the same speed as the
apparent revolution of the heavens,
and small image of the sun placed
in its proper position on the parasol
Gas may be found by referring to a
nautical almanac) shows by it's merid-
ian the time of day on the dial at the

ing parasol will show just how far
north or south of the east and west
points the sun rises and sets during
the year and at what time before six
n. m. and after six p. m. the sun ap-
pears above the horizon
For use in the field to identify the
consultations it Is preferable to have
the stars painted on the inner face
OF the umbrella. The parasol is pro-
yided with narrow ribbon which
may be used to determine the posi-
tion of any point, the ribbon being
divided into degrees by which declina-
tion may be reckoned. The ribbon
