Has science spoken the last word in the production of the automobila. and the airship. Skilled mechanics have expressed the opinion that. the automo- bile has nearly reached the zenith of its development. Surely there is nothing at present even distantly seen that is to su- persede it. But who will venture to say that it is the finality of science for land transportation? For motive sea power the hydroplane is attracting the attention of transportation companies. Like the frog it is amphibious; it can “live and move and have its being” in the air and on the water. It has the capacity of function- ing in both. It has already passed beyond the toy stage, and the only question that now remains is, can it be made useful as a common carrier?

Daring these mid-autumnal days® onc the minor problems we have to deal with is the proper disposition of dead leaves. As a matter of fact leaves are very thoughtless as to when, where and how they fall. They show not even the common courtesies of life. The leaves that drop from my trees, may first of all fall on my property, and perhaps they dom’t even do that. At least In a few hours they have mostly left my premis- ¢s and have completely covered my neigh- bor’s freshly-raked lawn. On the morrow —by a change of the wind—they go scur- rying across the street where they will set- tle down to winter quarters on some premises that are never disturbed by a rake. But how to dispose of them? Burning is most common and most unsat- isfactory. Burning is unpleasant’ and unsanitary. During a period of drought leaves are a catch-all for floating impuri- ties and the smoke of burning leaves transfers the virus tG one's lungs. There is always an epidemic oI hard colds dur- ing the period of burning leaves. The only proper disposition of dead leaves s the compost = hcap—weighted down— where they are changed into humus for next year's garden. ; If John Bunyan had only written the Holy War his fame would have been cs- tablished among the greatest of religious vriters of the age, But The Nilgrim’s Progress is so evidently his masterpiece nd execution that we The is full of the most striking an- alogies. mong others he uses the “eye- gate,” that is the eye as a gate through which knowledge makes entry into our being.: The value of the as a medium for the communication of knowledge can- er not be over-stated.

The whole world applauds the act of President Harding in calling the armament conference at Washington this month to carefully review the whole sit- uation. Whatever maybe the tangible results of this conference, a point has been gained in getting the master minds to consider it. These words will appear in print—it they appear at all—on the day following the third anniversary of the signing of the armistice, Nov 11, 1918.

As a result of this congregation of planets in the eastern morning sky our map is left with only one planet's jo- sition to show, that of Uranus. The outermost plane® of the system. The anclent astronemers knew noth- ing of the existence of these planets be- yond the orbit of Saturn. They were hampered by the lack of op‘ical instru- ments. These Instruments are indeed the real reason for the giant sirides made by the sclence ¢? astronomy and all other sclences in modern times; for it must be conceded that the anclent scientists, though fewer in number, were not a whit less keen than thcir modern brethren. = Thelr astronomers had In- struments with which they made meas- urements of position, but with peep sights only, and they could not see any- thing beyond reach of the human eve. Uranus barely visikle, under very good circumstances of Gbservation, as a seventl)-magnitude star and hopeless for the unhaideq éve, whereas Nentune, the further one, is too much for the eye altogether. In 1783 Sir Willlam Hers- chell, the English astronomer, with his telescope mnoted that this Iittle snot of light had changed its position slightly with respect to the neighboring stars In the course of ’ observations and be- Heved himself the discoverer of a new comet. But Lexell, a mathematical as- tronomer, calculated from Herschel's da- ta that the mew body’s orbit lay around the sun in a large, almost clroular eclipse lying entirely outside the orbit of Saturn ; t fhug greatly enhanced, named the plamet “Georgium Throne of @ofge, in honor tron King George IIL -This Sidus” the of his pa- name fort- unately did .ot su him, but was universally dropped favor ¢f a name Numerous and jextremely careful ob- servers of the movement of Uranug were Immediately made all over Europs and it wag soon distovered that its positions did not quite fit. any orbit which 2ould be worked out for it from previous obser- vations. It was certainly a planet, ‘but it appéared to run contrary to the New- tonian law of gravitation, a thought which no astronomer ecould éntertain. Another planet, still moré remote than Uranug could have such = disturbing ef- fect upon it; but no such planet was known. Basing their calentatitns on this pos- sibility, two men independently worked out the probable position of a disturbing planet, if such existed. One was an Englishman, Adams by name, and the other a Frenchman, Leverrier. Adams sent his results to the Astronomer Roy- al at Greenwich, with the request that he sear¢h for the unknown; 3t nothing was done. Leverrier sent his date to Galle at Berlin; the date was 1846. Galle took the matter up -with enthusfasm, acted upon it the very first night and found the new planet within a short dis- tance of the predicted position. Had Afry, the Greenwich astronomer, acted on Adams' request, he, too, could have found Neptune, for the former's calcu- lations were also correct. Both men share the honof and there is homor enough for both. * Because of Neptune's and Uranus' great distances from us, very little more than their dimensiong and orbital data are known. Neptune has ome satellite about as big as our moon, discovered in 1846, Uranus {8 possessed of four satellites, two discovered by Herschel himself and two by Lassel, who found the single one of Neptune. -All these five satellites revolve about their primary in a clockwise direction, 1. e. in the same direction as the hands of the clock, which is contrary to the direction of or- bital revolution of zll the planets and all other satellites, save only several of the outer moons of Saturn and Jupiter. Of the physical cofdition of Neptuno and Uranus, very little is known. Their great distance from the sun means that the Intensity of the heat obtained from that source is only 1-350th and 1-900th. respectively, of that received by the earth. From this it is calculated th outside of any heat from within the planets thmesives, the surface tempera- ture would be several hundred degrees Fahrenhelt below zero. No doubt- they have not yet avrived at the advanced stage of evolution of planets like the earth and Mars, but they must be, be- cause of their small size, considerably advanced over the two giant planets, Sa urn and Jupiter. the country were prepared to do that kind of work.

The services rendered our country, however, in her day of trial by the illustrious Morris will never be forgotten by the American people. There is at this day an af- fectionate reverence for his character. which ranks his name second only te! that of Washington among those who achieved the liberty we now enjoy. ‘When our armies were without pro- visions, and on the point of disband- ing for want of means to continue the campaign, to him was committed the management of the finances of the country. His exertions in the cause of freedom were herculean. Upon his pri- vate credit money was raised to fur- nish food to.the starving army, and his enterprise commanded supplies which promoted active operations in the field. In one of Morris's letters, dater at his home in Philadelphia, July 20, 1776 he expressed the sentiment “that it is the duty of every individual to act his part in whatever station his country may call him to, at times of difficulty danger and distress.” And thus senti- ment the great financier lived up to during. the whole of the struggie for the independence of his country. The reverses, which in subsequent years swept away his private fortune and led to his imprisonment for debt, mark a sad era in the life of the pa- triot. After the Revolution he contin- ued to live in his fine mansion, from which he was taken on February 14, 1798, and was conducted to the debt- ors' apartmenrt in the Walnut street jail. There he remained for three years six months and ten days, throughout the yellow fever scourge, of 1798, when men lay sick and dying’around him, his condition a witness to the disgrace of the city the State and the nation, and of civilizaion in which such things could be. Morris's great tracts of land, des- tined before long to possess the great- est value were scattered under his very eyes for lack of momey to pay the taxes, and interest charges. Ano- ther Philadelphian, who was incarcera- ted in the same prison at the time Morris was there, and for the same reason, gives the following account of the financier’s prison life: “His person was neat and his dress to tired belligerents.

The old man wrung the hand of the Chief in silence, while his tearful eye gave the welcome to such a home. Whittier wrote a beautiful poem on Robert Mor, ris, containing the following vers “What has the gray-haired prisoner done? Has murder stalned his hands with gore? Not so; his crime's a greater one. God made the old man poor.” Morris’s will which was made in 1804, after a few slight bequests, states “Here I have to express my regret| at having lgst a very large fortune acquired by 'honest industry which I had long hoped and expected to enjoy with my family, and then expected to distribute it among those of them who might outlive me. Fate has determined otherwise, and we must submit to the decress, which I have done with pa- tience and fortitude.” - (Monday—Greatest Americal Duelist) READ YOUR CHARACTER By Digby Phillips, Copyrighted 1921 Limber Joints. You, wouldn't think that the elasticity of the individual's joints had anything to do with his character, would you? But it has. It's not as'important a signification, for instance, as the ghape of the ‘head or the color of the hair, or even as certain of the signs revealed by handwriting. But it is by no means negligible. It is natural that limber joints should spell activity in the physical sense, and so they do, though not necessarily mus. cular strength. But they indicate more [ than this. They Indicate quick mental reactions and slow’ thought, if you can understand the distinction made in this apparently contradictory statement. Put it another way. The impulsive and emotional men- tal processes of the limber-jointed ones are very quick, though they are slow in their processes of rcason and snalysis. They are, in short, intuitive.
