rnoil of Europe if we had got no further.
Nine critical years passed between the
league of friendship" of the little colonies
and union that was given power over
sovereign" states. Nobody knows how
many years are to elapse before conference
agreements among the great and small ma
tons of the earth shall become an or
ganized internationalism that will write
an international law, sustain an interna-
tional court, and enforce international
DEGREES. But we may know that some
Washington will some day do for the
world what the first Washington did for
America, or what he did will come to
nothing. For just as the colonies would
have made a failure of their revolt if
they had not gone ahead constructively
TO more perfect union, so the great ma
tions will make a failure of this war if
they do not constructively reorganize the
world for world order.

How Flying Fish Fly

The question whether flying fish really
fly, or whether they merely jump, has been
one of the classics of ichthyology. Their
progress certainly looks like flying, for
while they are in the air they hutter their
fins much as some insects do their wings.
Of late, however, the consensus of opin-
totally inadequate to sustain the fish in
.saae air, and that his "Aight' is really
long powerful leap. Those who have felt
that this leap is somewhat too long to be
true will be interested in letter to Ma
ture London) by H. H. Clayton, the
eminent meteorologist who believes that
the fish gets into the air by leaping and
then assists his forward progress by fin
movement
His explanation of how this comes about
is ingenious. If Mr.. Clayton is right the
fish both jumps and flies, and both sides
to the famous controversy are right, or
partly so. He writes in his letter:
"In 1905 l was in charge of the
Tiesereno de Bort and Rotch expedition
for exploring the atmosphere with balloons
and kites over the tropical part of the At
lantic. The Otaria, on which we travelled,
was small boat not much more than one
numbered feet in length, with the decks
near the water, so that had excellent op-
portunity of studying the movements of
flying fish, which we saw in great num-
Eers.
GAS these fish left the water the power
full lateral strokes of the tail which lifted
them into the air could be plainly seen.
As they rose into the air the pectoral fins
vibrated with great rapidity, and my
earlier experiments with a rod and flexible
web led me to believe that exactly this
same principle was used by the flying fish
to drive itself forward. The forward part
of the pectoral fin is rigid and the rear
flexible, so that its rapid vibration gives
strong propelling force.
When the fish had gained velocity and
the rising impulse given by the tail had
eliminated, the fins ceased to vibrate and
were used as airplanes, on which it glided
forward, slowly sinking until its tail
touched the water, when another lateral
stroke lifted it into the air and the process
was repeated. In this way the fish could
remain in the air for long flights when
necessary.-Seleeted.

WHEN AMERICA WAS SMALL
Selected
THE Congressional Record notes that
Senator Poindexter read the farewell

Senator Poindexter read the farewell
address of Washington in open
senate. On each recurring birthday of the
first president some senator reads the ad
dress, and the Record republishes it in full,
and in large type. Unfortunately the map
of the United States of Washington's day
is not displayed before the senate while the
address is being read If the senators
could, this year above all others, have
looked at the nation Washington was talk
ing about as they listened to his words,
they would have caught the true signif-
canoe of what has happened in the hun
dred and nearly fifty years since then.
1t is hard to realize today that when
Washington spoke of north and south and
east and west he had in mind only the
little original colonies. How like a temp
est in a teapot it seems today to be stirred
greatly by the threat of sectional divisions
in that little fringe of our present United
States All of the original states would
Hardly be a subdivision in our modern
political speech, as we talk of the threat of
east and west and north and south.
And yet nothing was more real in those
DAYS than the sectionalism of these little
colonies. They had no roals, not even
good wagon roads, ard from thc re-.iofe
corners of the little country to the central
meeting place was journey of weeks.
Settlements were in fact farther apart than
San Francisco is from Honolulu or even
Manila. They were physically far apart.
But more than that they were making a
fetish of their separation. Each little set
Element of that frontier believed in an in
herent divine right to be independent of
everybody.
How curiously it reads today as we look
at this little map to learn in Article 2 of
the first confederation that "each state re-
tains its sovereign freedom and indepen-
dence,' and in Article 3 that the national
government is to be '.firm league OF
friendship among the states" Even John
Marshall in decision of the supreme
court held that prior to the establishment
of the union the states were completely
sovereign and independent, and were con-
nected with each other by league. There
was dispute about this legal status in the
civil war days, but the dispute was over
legal terms and not over the physical fact.
The colonies looked upon themselves as
separate nations, and made lot OF virtue
of their nationality.
There were about 100000 people in
the states in 1888. That would be less than
half the population of the city OF New
York today. New York City then was
city of $4,000. In Boston there were
l4,64O. No city had paved streets, and
crude street lamps were lighted occasional
ly, rarely ever on rainy nights. A large
part of the business of New York was done
in the Dutch language. Philadelphia was
the real center of the group, with $4,000
people, with whatever of style there was
in America. 1t took from a week to ten
days by stage to go from Boston to New
York. There were no bridges. Mails were
uncertain. Lives were lost in turbid
streams on nearly every long stage jour
ney. "The people of Georgia knew but
