"IsIand" in the Air.

Three miles south of the Mesa En-
canbada in Mexico is a splendid speci-
men Of fantastic erosion-an island"
in the air; a rock with overhanging
sides nearly 400 feet high and 10
acres in area on the fairly level top,
indented with countless bays, notched
with dizzy chasms. The greater part
of the island overhangs the sea like a
huge mushroom, and on the top stands
a town which for artistic charm, eth
biological interest, and romantic his
tory has no peer. This little town of
Ancoma Is one of the prehistoric
Pueblo architecture. 1t was only with
inconceivable labor this island town
In the air was built. 1t was reached
by a mere trail up the stem Of the
mushroom" The G of the island is
not known, except that it was already
old in 1910.

Civ Model Planes With the Wind.

AS regards the flying Of a model
plane, the beginner has much to learn,
writes William Maclean in the Every
day Engineering magazine. 1t should
always be remembered that while It
occurs to the average person that a
model should be flown into the wind
this in reality is not the case; a model
should always be flown with the wind.
Another point to remember is that
a scale or reproduction model a
never be a long distance flyer as are
types Of stick models. Further, a re-
production model must necessarily
have q propeller or tractor screw out
of proportion, as a screw to scale is
not capable of delivering the neces-
sary thrust to fly g model which must
necessarily be too heavy for the
thrust developed.

TEACHERS LOWEST PAID
WORKERS IN AMERICA,

According to figures gathered from
employers and employment bureaus,
teachers are the lowest paid workers
in America. Since August, 1914, the
cost of living has advanced more than
rs per cent, and, according to the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board,
in eight major industries in this
country have advanced from IA to LIP
per cent. The advance in teachers
salaries during the same period has
been only 27.3 per cent. "Roustabouts,'
the lowest form of labor, is paid $50
more for a years work than is a
teacher.

EARLY SESSIONS FOR CONGRESS.

Nearly everybody recognizes the absurdity of a sys-
TEN which postpOnes the assembling of congress until
thirteen months after election and which therefore makes
It necessary to call an extra session. at time like this
when there is legislative emergency There has long
been demand for change that would enable the nation
to get quicker action election and setting new
congress to work before the impetus that chose has
died out
There is measure proposed to accomplish this
reform 1t would provide for the first meeting Of new
congress on March s. following its election instead Of
waiting until the first Monday in December Congress it.
self has power to make the change and is expected that
ii will be taken up in the special session that has just
opened
It might be well to go still further Why should any
congressman who is defeated early in November COSTUME
in office longer than the end of the year? And why
should not the cOngressmeneect assume their duties inn
mediately after the Christmas holidays? The date of
the presidential Inauguration might be changed likewise
making everything start the first of the year. State gov
ernments have found this good system-why would it
not be equally good for the national government?

EXPOSING FOLLY.

While all this discussion has been going on regarding
the principle of free speech and the proper limits for it.
interesting contribution on the subject has been made
BY President Wilson in a speech at Paris
4 have always been among those" he said .'who
believe that the greatest freedom of speech the greatest
safety because if fool the best to do IS to en-
courage him to advertise that fact by speaking 1t can
not be easily discovered you allow him to remain
silent and look wise; but the moment you let him speak,
the secret is out and the world knows that he is fool
$50 it is with the exposure of folly And in this free
air Of free speech get into that sort of communication
with one another which constitutes the basis of all worthy
achievement"
This is worth remembering at a time when the rant
ing of false leaders temps the public to acts of stern re-
preston is well not to carry this censorship too far
lest be taken for maryred Soomons when they are
only fools 1t is probably true that the best way to dis
pose Of lot of radical orators and writers to let them
show this folly The public is no fool 1t will find them
out.

BROCKD0RFF- F-RANTZAU.

One Of the most curious things about the German
handling of the peace treaty the presence Of Count Won
Brockdorff Rantzau at the head Of the delegation at
Versailles.
This gentleman, If he may be so designated is a
Prussian Of the Prussans nobeman of the old imperial
regime There is no indication chat his opinions have
changed Certainly the arrogant conduct characteristic
of Prussian 'vons' in general has not changed. His
first speech at Versailles was mpudent and insulting and
his subsequent behavior official and personal has been
SO ntoerable that there is talk Of the Allies demanding
his recall
Apparently Germany might just about as well have
sent Ludendosff OF Hindenburg TTpz to Versailles
or even the head Of the house of Hohenzoern himself
And BrockdOrff- -Rantzau is there as the representa-
tive of Sociastc government which bases its appeal for
enency on the ground that Germany is democratic
and has repudiated the spirit and works Of Kaserism
It is no use---the world viii never understand those
