it rs not difficult to ascertain the character
Of their birth. The following coaclusi ions
can be safely drawn:

ton Of heat and pressure, upon the re-

being at the same time deformed by grav-

clue dated with reference to Figure 4, in
which our artist of the Impressionist school
has emphasized Franklin's notion that his
rod was drawing electricity from the clouds.
If the earth were not surrounded by an
atmosphere which is generally oppositely
charged it would behave, despite all it's
irregularities of surface, like polished

of air and cloud the distribution is greatly

The theory has been seriously
advanced and taught that the radio
ether wave oscillations pass around
the Earth by successive reflections,
as here shown. The efficiency of
such a reflector cannot be more
than 25 per cent; the amount of
energy recoverable in a 2,OOO-mile
transmission being but 115, O0O,-

Of them smashes sur venerable concep-
ton about the moons rotation. Tesla
declares:
at is we'll known since the discovery of
Calico that the moon. in travelling through
space, always turns the same face toward
the earth. This is explained by stating
hat while passing once around it's mother
planet the lunar globe performs just one
revolution on It's axis. The spinning mo-
ton Of a heavenly body must necessarily
undergo notifications in the course Of time,
being either retarded by resistances ia
ternal or external, or accelerated ow ny to
shrinkage and other causes. An una terable
rotational velocity through all phases Of
planetary evolution is manfestly i1npossi-
Bile. What wonder, then, that at this very
instant Of its long existence our satellite
should revol0c exactly so, ard not faster
or slower. But many astronomers have
accepted as a physical fact that such rota-
ton takes place. 1t does not, but only
appears so; it is an illusion, a most sur
prising one. too.

reference to Figure /, in which T. represents

pies the position indicated with reference
to the earth. If one imagines himself as
looking down on the orbital plane and fol-
lows the motion he will become convinced
that the moon does turn on its axis as it
travels around But in this very act the
observer will have deceived himself To
make the delusion complete let him take
a washer similarly marked and supporting
it rotatably in the centre, carry it around
stationary object, constantly keeping the
arrow pointing toward the latter. Though
20 his bodily vision the disk will revolve
it's axis, such movement does not exist.
He dispe the illusion at once by hold
ing the washer hXedly while going around.
He will now readily see that the sup
posed axal rotation is only apparent, the

Mortane.
Considering the enormous progress
aviation has made during and on ac-
count of the war, he says, only one an
swer to the above question is possible.
Regular aerial lines of communicat on
will be established throughout the world.
And these lines will serve not only pas
senger traffic and the mails, but they will
be used in increasing proportions for
long distance freight transportation
The establishment of regular CONNER
cial air routes, however, has to be ac-
conlpanied by the working out of an
international code of air navigation.
For one thing, how will the air be
mapped out between the different ma
tons? Shall each country have not only
it's own aerial feet and stations, but also
its own exclusive lines? Is it possible
at all to establish rigid system of right

quantity.
"Consder now the process taking place
in the transmission by the nstrumentali-
ties and methods of my invention. For this
purpose attention is called to Fig g. which
gives an idea of the mode of propagation
of the current waves and is largely self
explanatory. The drawing represents a
solar eclipse with the shadow of the moon

ity of axial rotation in the strictly physi-
cal sense. The moon has never spun
around as is we'll demonstrated by the
fact that the most precise measurements
have failed to show any measurable fiat
tening in form.
2. If planetary body in its orbital
movement turns the same side toward
the central mass this is positive proof
that it has been separated from the lat
ter and is true satellite.

passage around another cannot have been
thrown off from the same, but must have

We entered the great war for the
establishment of justice, freedom and
democracy. the moving ideals of the
English-speaking peoples. Unless we
have won these permanently for the
world we have failed of the full ac-
compiishment of our purpose. Their
maintenance can be assured only by
universal education of the best type
and by that eternal vigilance which
will assure that this means of their
preservation shall never be forgotten
or neglected. For the attainment of
these ideals and for the assurance of
the peace or the world the people who
speak the tongue tnat Shakespeare
spoke will find themselves drawn very
close together. 1t is very fitting, there
fore, that a national memorial of the
war and of its ending shall make ap-
propriate recognition of him whose
writings have, for three centuries and
more, been the chief source of inspira-
tion for those who love freedom and
justice and who have been willing to
sacrifice all for the right of the peo-
pie to govern themselves, and whose
words a free world will never let die!

SWEDEN FAVORS u. S.
NATIONAL PASTIME

Sweden wants baseball. In fact,
the Swedes want baseball so badly
that in the invitation they extended
the American soccer players to visit
Sweden next June they inserted the
proviso that every player brought
along must also be able to play base
ball. Hence the American soccer in
vasion of Sweden next summer turns
into a baseball invasion as well.
The men of King Gustaf VS. coun-
try got their first taste of Americas
national pastime during the Olympic
games of 1912, when team picked
from among Uncle Sammys Olympic
champions ran up a big score on
their Swedish rivals. despite the fact
that Ernie Hjertberg had tipped off
the Yankees that the Swedes had an
aggregation that put the old Balti-
more Orioles to shame.
The Swedes took their defeat good
naturedly. II for nothing else the
contest showed the NoTthlanders the
possibilities of Americas great game
and gave baseball a good start in
Sweden
