peace terms submitted by the allies Is
believed by House leaders to have
cleared the way for passage by Con-
gress of the proposed legislation. al
though there remains some conditions

COMMITTEES to the Knox resolution and
IL will undergo some changes from
the form in which IL passed the SEN

House by the committee A majority
of members of tho House committee
are opposed to any resolution repeal
ing the war declaration against Ger

historians will not be tempted to
place the Interpretation on inc pesce

WOULD SOLVE BIG PROBLEM
Successful Idea for the Employment
Of a Vacuum 10 the Dream OF
All Balloonlsts.

In the opinion Of French expert
In aeronautics, the future Of dirigible
balloons lies In successfully solving
the employment Of vacuum as float
ing power. Lighter than air. practical
experimenting has been for years
along the line of using gases lighter
than the atmosphere. If, however, Gas
has been long known, of course) a
light envelope incasing partial
vacuum could be arrived at, strong
enough so that the terrific outside
pressure of the atmosphere were re-
sisted, the balloon would then possess
an excess Of buoyancy, and the pres
ent cost of Initiative material would be
largely eliminated. At the present
moment two Italian engineers are
conducting negotiations and expert
ments with the French government on
the basis of new inventions on the
vacuum theory. The perfection Of
defation. as over against imitation.
would indeed revolutionize flying: the
world awaits with interest the result
of the experiments III France.

The Artillery Fern.

There is curious and wonderful
little plant, so rare that few people
have ever seen 1t outside Of botanists'
collections, which is called the 'artil-
lery fern" This flower behaves in a
very strange fashion when 1t is dipped
in water. The branch of fern, COW
cred with its small red seed when
held up to the light after being dipped
In water, resists the action of the wa
ter upon 1t in funny way. First one
tiny bud will explode suddenly with
sharp crack, scattering its yellow,
dust into the air. Then another bud
will burst in the same way, until the
entire branch will be covered with ex-
ploding buds, like miniature cannon.
A sharp Crack! followed by wee
puff of smoke! This always occurs
after the plant is watered.

lay the Speejacks' keel. Another
year was spent in the work. which
Mr.. Gowen personally superintended
for the most part. His craft cost
close to u quarter Of million dollars,
and to n boatman she is the prettiest
thing that ever tripped the waves.
The Speejacks Is 9S feet long, 100
tons. IL feet wide and draws six feet.
Everything below the water line is
made OF bronze, and all Of the upper
works are teakwood. especially i'm
ported from India, ut a cost of about
five times that of mahogany. Even
the decks are teakwoOd. Inside, the
Speejacks Is finished in natural waXed
mahogany, and for completeness and
elegance she Is without rival. Her
driving power comes from two 25O-
horsepower engines. operated either
by gasoline or Kerosene, capable of Is
knots an hour, with cruising radius
of 5000 miles.
The Speejacks carries $500 gallons
of gasoline and 1000 gallons of water.
As this last woud be only three weeks
supply for the party aboard, condens-
ers were installed To obtain fresh
water FROM salt. These viii pro-
duce six gallons an hour. a refriger-
ating machine will turn the distilled
water into ice as needed.
The Speejacks carries $4,000 feet of
moving picture flm and 100000 feet
additional will be picked up en- route.
There are two cameras aboard and an
expert photographer, who will take
complete film history of the whole trip.

mission range of 1000 miles, and will
receive messages from any distance.
She carries IL wireless telephone out

Speejacks has four of the latest type
machine guns, firing up TO 1000 shots
a minute, and an arsenal of small
arms. Mr.. Gowen plans to go in
land in the Straits Settlement, Siam,
southern China and West Africa after
game.
Aside from being n jaunt around the
world, the voyage of the Speejacks has
n historical and scientific phase. Mr..
Gowen has collected no less than $40
charts for his trip, and he expects to
bring back some notable improvements
in maps, particularly those of the
South Sea islands, which still remain
unexplored to great degree. AS
representative Of the National Geo
graphic society and the Field museum,
Chicago. he will endeavor to obtain
new information on wild life as he
finds II.
Bernard +. Rogers, Jr., of Chicago,
