the same dismal patch of grass in Cop
ley Square which was there In 1872,
when Richardson built Trinity Church
and people supposed the square was TO
be made into sunken garden; the same
lovely, low skyline up the spacious vista
of Commonwealth avenue; the same
fragrant markets and tempting seed
stores around Faneuil Hall; the same
little white statues at either end of
LouiSburg Square, under the same elms
and faced by the same aristocratic old
doric doorways.
A born Bostonian, coming back TO the
town after an absence of years, would
declare mournfully that it had changed.
But to most other Americans it seems
cur1ously stable, and clings to the me-
MORALS of its past tenaciousiy. Like
Charleston, S. c. land the two cities are

Wall OF Sea Moss ITO Miles Long

steady southerly winds have resulted II,
an unprecedented condition along the
110-mile stretch of Padre Island, which
separates the mainland of South Texas
from the Gulf of Mexico. 1t has been
reported that Similar conditions exist
as far north as Galveston, where the
Gulf shoreline curves eastward.
Seaweed or moss has obliterated COM
pletely the beach from the waters edge
to distance of about 81 feet inland
The moss ranges from few inches in
depth on the inland side to 3 or 4
feet near the water.
Moss Forms Solid Wall.
The wall of seaweed constantly is
growing more solid and packed at its
outer edge. This edge Is advancing
slowly against the water as each tide
results in q greater deposit of moss

Is filled with the weed.
The weed farthest inland changes

after his death his Rhode Island house
was burned by the Indians and his
library Of 100 volumes and 10 manu-
scripts was destroyed. Roger Williams
by this time a neighbor, reported the
incident to the Bay Colony. and the
manuscripts then were valued at six
pence each. AS they were supposed to
contain the earliest records of Boston
they would, II they existed today, be
almost priceless.
Almost exactly three centuries after
william Blaxton planted his orchard
the proprietors of that orchard, now
Louisburg Square lie, the householders
whose properties face on this quaint
little park tipped Slabwise on the steep
pitch Of Beacon Hill between Mount
Vernon and Ptnckney streets, met in
annual conc1ave to determine policies
Of upkeep for the next IL months. For
the tiny park, inclosed in an iron fence,
Is not city property; it has much the
same status as Gramercy Park in New
York. The year before there had been
unheard-of iconoclasmS In the meet
ing. Somebody had actually suggested
planting shrubs behind the fence Z!
After a stormy session. a compromise
was reached with the radicals. The
compromise was daffodils!
Now, what, would the radicals suggest
next? There was an air Of tense ex-
pectation. Then the bomb burst.
Somebody moved that they purchase
some gray squirrels to sport in the elm
trees. There was a long silence. And
then the voice Of Boston spoke. IF
we must have squirrels in Louisburg
Square" said the voice. why spend
good money for themp why not lay a
train of nuts from the Common?"
There are no squirrels in Louisburg
Square. There are only the elms, the
two funny little old statues, the digni-
ned quiet-and The impudent daffodils.
Poor william Blaxton had TO move to
Rhode Island to keep his surround
ings as he wanted them. Three CEN
turtles later q touch. of humor was suf-
nctent. You can push Boston just so
far-and then look out!

because the air waves are brought past
the ear faster than ordinary by the
added speed Of the train in approach
ing, and the air waves crowd by the
ear and give higher pitch. When the
train passes the speed Of the train is
subtracted from the air waves and the
frequency with which they pass the ear
is lessened, resulting in lowered pitch.
This same thing happens in the light
OF stars. The frequency of the light Is
raised or lowered by the motion Of the
star toward or from the observer, re-
spectively. Thus a shift in the spec
trum of light is relatively the same
thing as the shift in the pitch Of sound
Both are caused by the motion Of the
energy source. f'1s
In measuring the shift of the lines IN
the spectrum of the group of stars
studied Mr. Humason found that they
were apparently going away from the
earth with a speed of approximately
1900 miles second, the highest speed
so far recorded for any heavenly body.
DR.. Hubble also has been studying
these nebulae in various ways, and in
1924 he proved they were groups Of
stars, and from comparisons OF their
size he has determined the distance
away Of those whose speed" has been
neas1sed by Mr.. Humason. He found
that the farther away they were sac
faster they apparently moved from thu
earth. - -,
This brings u,,4 the questn1. as to
what these apparent speeds really
mean, as it is not likely that all the
nebulae are trying to &c: as Ear away
from our solar system as possible in the
quickest time. .
It would seem more tenable that light
waves are affected" in some strange
way as they travel through the vast
reaches Of space, so that they are
crowded out Of true position in the.
spectrum in similar manner to that
produced by motion A."
According to the Einstein theory,
space is Curved" upon itself in the
higher dimensions. It has been held
that this hypothetical curvature OF
space may be the cause Of the observ-
ance Of the terrific speeds for distant
astronomical bodies, although other
theories Of the cause have been pro-
pounds and discussed.

India in superintendent, direction and
control of the governor general should
not be diminished, but the principle
should be strongly reasserted and faith
fully adhered to that these powers are
to be exercised with sympathetic view
to the ultimate self-government of
India. Somewhat curiously, the word
dominion is not used in the report,
but no doubt dominion status is the
goal.
II. Provisions should be made for
amendment, with limits to be very
precisely stated, of provincial constitu-
tons by provincial legislatures as to
provision for future notifications Of the
central government. The report is ex-
tremely cautious. It Is desired to "re-
duce the. rigidity Of the statutory
structure" to make possible certain
notifications without the cumbrous
procedure on each occasion of passing
new statute through the British Par
lament" While 1t Is impossible to
provide at this stage as much latitude
for change In the central sphere as In
the provincial constitutions, 1t Is pro-
posed to provide in the central sphere
also opportunities for adjustment while
preserving to the Westminster Parlia-'
ment the responsibility, which it cannot
at present abandon, for future decisions
appears to this reviewer the most pro-
found and significant paragraph Of the
report, really. q noble touch of state
craft: ..>@
"It has struck us as remarkable that
it should be so commonly assumed in
India that the development of RESPONSE
BILE government must take place on
purely British lines Our one view is
that until the provinces of India have
established themselves by the working
OF unitary governments as self-govern-
ing units, the ultimate form which the
central government of India will take
cannot be finally determined. The
question whether Indian states will con-
tribute to the ultimate process has yet
to be answered Federal executives do
not assume q definite or final shape
until the units Of federation come nat
urally together. The utmost, therefore,
that can be done now is to reduce by
such methods as we have outlined the
rtgidity Of the structure Of the central
executive, TO make the best possible pro-
vision for the introduction Of authori-
tative Indians into the executive, and
to recognize that the British system Is
not the only model and, indeed, that
there are many federal systems In the
world which differ from the British
model because they have been suitably
developed according to the needs. Of
their own areas and populations It
would, we are convinced, be Q grave
mistake to attempt to reconstruct the
central government, Of India on the
lines we have suggested. At any rate.
1t would be premature to do so now.
The ultimate form which the govern
ment Of India will take cannot possibly
be precisely determined In. present cir
cumstances. It must be allowed to grow
In the light OF the principles we have
set forth"

The Story the Week Has Told

TINE following is a brief summary
of the most important news OF
the world for the seven days
Il ended June %:
ICELAND.-On June rs began the
three days celebration in Iceland in
commemoration of the creation on June
26, $50, of what the pundits call the
worlds oldest Parliament. Delegates
we're present from all over the world,
including members of our Congress. A
town OF tents was erected for their
entertainment.
In opening the millenary ceremonies,
King Christian, ruler of Denmark and
Iceland (hie stature of feet inches
having a Viking smack, re-enacted the
part of the speaker who recited the
law to the first Althing. The emigra-
ton from Iceland to North America has
been considerable; in the years 1872
1900 the figure was $500, mostly to
Manitoba.
THE BRITISH EMPIRE.-At meet
ing of scientists at Cornell University
on June 20, Sir William Bragg, Nobel
prize winner, read extracts from the
unpublished diary of Michael Faraday.
He read an entry dated August 80, 1881,
noting the epochal discovery of the
induction of electric currents; whence
the dynamo, whence the modern face
of things" On August %, 1881, there
will be planetary celebration of the
centenary of the dynamo" Son of a

The British government has Just is
sued two documents outlining its policy
with reference to East Africa. OF
course it is asserted that the goal is
self-government, only, however, to be
reached gradually, very gradually.
There is to be high commissioner for
Uganda, Kenya and Tanganyika, who
is to advise the British government and
to administer certain economic serv-
ices in all these territories" All this
is little vague, but obviously 1t Is
proposed to guard the natives against
the tendency of the white colonists to
treat them brutally and cupidinously.

He swiped the pocketbook, but did not

not honest francs, but strange pieces of

NOTES.-The use of the Catalan lam
guage in Barcelona increases. Catalan
only is ordinarily spoken In the rural
districts Of Catalonia. Six Barcelona
daily newspapers and sundry Barcelona
reviews are printed In Catalan. Several
publishing houses Of considerable inn
portance publish books in Catalan only
and In some theaters plays are produced
solely in Catalan. Most Catalonians
speak both Spanish and Catalan. Many
speak French as well.

as the place Of exile of Trotsky. A Ger

Boston has existed now for 300 years,

nently satisfactory for that entire period

that his college, Purdue, gave its stu
