IL cent attempt to fire his giant
rocket into space, disappointed
for there can be no doubt that many
are inclined to regard these rocket ex-
perimentS rather lightly.
The time has come, however, when
q little thought would not be out OF
place before passing judgment. A
rocket moves because Of the reaction
Of the gases formed by the explosion as
they leave the exhaust. This principle
Of propulsion is sound It has the add
ed advantage that no material media
are necessary to complete the mechan-
ism.
A boat propeller must react on the
water to move 1t forward; an airplane
propeller must react on the air. This
limits the use Of these devices to travel
In definite places; 1t limits the height
to which an airplane can rise. For, as
the air becomes thinner the lifting
power decreases.
With the rocket, on the other hand,
the decrease in density of the air would
be favorable. It would cut out just
that much wind and frictional resist
ance. For this reason, little power
dous distances at very high speeds in
sphere. Circl.ng the earth in a half
day or less would not be inconceivable.
The rocket method Of propulsion Is
about as old as our records of civiliza-
ton. About 1000 years ago Hero of
Alexandria is said to have invented an
engine which would use this principle.
Sooner or later some one will develop
this motor power. Sooner or later we
shall reach, If not the moon, at least
much higher into our own atmosphere
than heretofore. And the meteorologi-
cal information we are likely to gain
from such experiments will prove
Chinese Capture
Huge Opium Cargo.
North China Herald, Shanghai-
Customs officers recently seized an
enormous quantity of opium on the
French Bund, its value being estimated
from between one-quarter to one mil
lion dollars. Fifty barrels, with an esti-
mated weight OF 145 piculs, or nearly
tons, were seized after q struggle and.
with French Concession and Settlement
ponce escorts, removed to the customs
mouse strong rooms.
1t appears that the contraband had
arrived from Hankow several days ago
and was consigned as sugar to Chinese
bank here. As is done with ordinary
cargo, the goods were stored in a Gus
toms godown on the French Bund.
Coolies were engaged In moving the
containers, SO large barrels. The Coolies
dropped one, which, breaking open.
spread the drug on the floor. There
was top layer of sugar, but the color
and appearance quickly identified the
contraband.
A coolie made for it and soon was
| surrounded by group of fellow work
ers, each intent on gaining his share
The commotion attracted the attention
OF q Chinese customs official, who tried
to prevent the theft. He was attacked
by coolies and loafers, but managed to
summon assistance.
Both the French police and the Gus
toms were notified. The former broke
Up mob Of more than 100 loafers, who
were bent on getting share Of the
loot. There were stirring moments, but
eventually the police drove the coolies
back and threw Gordon round.

West and North by the Democrats In
the last election, the preponderance of
Democratic members Of the House Is
from those sections Of the country, with
the South and the border States in a
minority position. When. all the men,
bers of the "solid South" in the House
are added to those members hailing
from the border States, including
Missouri and Maryland, the total Is las,
while the total Of the House Democratic
membership from. the States OF the
West, Middle West and North is 169
The difference Is "A In favor Of the West
and the North
With the SouthernerS fighting among
themselves for the speakerShip, it would
look as though the West and North
might well have q chance to elect the
next Speaker, provided they stick TO-
gether. Mr.. Rainey. because OF his long
service In the House and his present
position Of leadership, seems to fill the
bill for them. Furtherfore, the South
has most of the important chairman
to have the speakership also, the thing
may look as though it were top-heavy.
It Is necessary, Of course, II there Is
to be a smooth-running control Of the
Government by the Democrats, to have
House Democratic leadership in SYM
pathy with and ready to back up the
incoming President. There has been
nothing to indicate that Mr.. Rainey
would turn his back on the President
elect. He Is q man of considerable in
dependence, but he Is also good Demo-
crat. He certainly stood to his guns
in the last session Of Congress when
other Democrats were deserting the
party leadership. Mr.. McDufne, the
present Democratic whip Of the House,
has q big following, and it has been
limited that he would be acceptable to
the President-elect. Undoubtedly ef-
forts will be made to draw Gov. Roose-
welt into this speakership tussle. It
would seem to be the part Of wisdom
for him to keep hands of, unless it
were proposed to place in the Speakers
chair some one who was really intmical
to him.

ANN ARBOR, Mich.-School will

centrate on pushing the paper among

Student enrolment this summer at
the University was 13 per cent off
what is was in the summer session OF
1881. Fall enrolment will probably
be lower. Working class students are
having terrible time getting tuition
money. Few of lis worked steady this
summer, therefore we have to borrow
money to go to school this year. The
student loan association at the Uni
