THOUGHT WILL RULE WORLD
Scientist Asserts Ships at Sea vii. Be
Controlled From Shore and Gasoline
Will Be Grown Like Corn.

" In the. lobby Of a big Fifth avenue
club one evening recently, a group Of
scientific men were discussing the war
as being the necessity that will bring
about some startling inventions, notes
q New York correspondent. If the
sprinkling of intellectual luminati
were not stamped by genius, it is prob
able that an ordinary bystander would
have tapped his forehead knowingly.
One of them was telling about a SCI
enlist who Is already telephoning to
airplanes without wires: And another
quoted famous inventor who said
that it would only be a short while
until all telephone wires would be abol-
ished as unessential.
'"rhe fact is" he said, "that tele-
phone wires do not in reality carry
our messages. Every scientist knows
that Back Of 1t all is the great proc
ess of thought which we are only be-
ginning feebly to understand.
The more we delve into this proc
ess Of thought--whatever it is--tha
group. The triangular craft Of the Ko-
reans was modelled after the fashion Of
the ancient Manchurian type, while
the MOrOta-Bune was fashioned after
the Korean type. Even supposing they
came from the same source, that source
is prehistoric; 1t must belong to time
when the ancestors of the Ainu were
related with those Of the Koreans, be-
fore they came to Japan, from some
place situated at the eastern extremity
OF Asia; let us say, for example, in a
potamic region like the Amur. If this
be so, the time antedates the history
Of the shipbuilding Of our country"

New Headaear In Paris.

A new headdress strange to the

streets Of Paris. It is the famous blue
bonnet Of the Polish militia, which is
being worn by the soldiers Of the new
Polish army. Otherwise their uniform
Is that Of the French soldier. For
some months, at the camp of Mont.
lusOn, where number of Polish pris-
oners are interned, the national head
dress, made by the prisoners them
selves and Ornamented with the Polish
col0rs, red and white, has been worn
by them on their way to and from
work. They are very anxious not to
be taken by the French people for
Germans or Austrians. In the court
yard Of q chateau in which they are
interned the prisoners congregate, In
their leisure hours, and sing part
songs. On July IA, the anniversary of
the fall Of the Bastile, they began
their concert with the "Marseillaise."
Needless to say, the Polish prisoners
receive preferential treatment.
