SELF-DELIVERING AIRPLANES. The sendlntr of automobiles from factory to destination under thur own power has become common. I"otv it is proposed to deliver our airplanes likewise from the factory to France. and by that Liberty motor too, that Gutson Borulum and ti e f-cnate military affairs committee raid was no ijood. This ls. as Sec'y Raker warily fays, "a very darins and tempting speculation." Abn IX. Haw ley, president of the Aero club of America, thinks the thing- can be done. $0 does G n.

-the results would be worth the cost. It takes a great
deal of space to ship airplanes, and the process is slow. The anticipated output of planes is said to be six tinier the anticipated capacity of phipa to carry them. It would be an immense gain in time and efficiency If they could My to the battle liont, in forty hours or so, under their own power. If the venture is undertaken there will be a line of patrol boats, supply and repair ships, pontoons, etc., strung along the water route to make the passage as safe as possible. If our planes can fly to France, the rest will be easy. The Atlantic is wider and more perilous than Germany. If they can fly from Newfoundland to the battle front, thev can Jly from the battle front to Berlin. We can then strike straight and hard at the heart of I'russianism.

FEDERALIZING THE BRITISH ISLES. Premier I.loyd George seems disposed now to tackls the Irish problem on a different plan. In a 'recent statement made to a parliamentary delegation, he suggested 'giing eui'a.1 treatment on a federal basis to Ireland, Fntland, Scotland and Wales." The British could then say to the Irish: "We are giving you exactly what we are taking ourselves, and what is good enough for us ought to be good enough for you." England. Scotland and Wales are already virtually on a federal basis. Ireland herself has more cumplete representation in the British government than iuosl foreigners realize, or than most Irishmen like to admit. It might make no great change in the situation if Ireland were to be treated henceforth precisely on a par with the other thre countries with which nature ar. d history hav e so closely bound her fate, though theoretically and sentimentally there would be a big difference. What the Irish people would say to such a proposal is problematical. The extreme home-rulers would of course oppose it. Could the majority, however, afford to turn denvn a plan which, in the eyes of the outer world, would be set down as decent and fair? There is little doubt as to how Americans would feel about the ma iter. If Irelanl were honestly olTeied full membership in a bona flde federation, an ordinary American could no more sympathize with an Iridi refusal to accept it than he could sympathize with a desire of New York or California or Texas to secede from o ' 1 r C nion.

;c)Li The Flat Earth Humbug

On Boston common, that interesting relic of the Puritan community of land ownership, a "Zetetic astronomer" has lately been mount inj? the husting to preach the doctrine of the flatness of the earth, and according to a letter from a gentleman of Brookline, who has not only heard him hut wrestled with him in argument, this lay preacher of scientific heresv has been able to

listeners to such a degree that, although their belief remains unshaken in the rotundity of the earth, they find themselves unable to parry the blows that are dealt to orthodox science, and so they are looking for an ally.

by asserting that from Blue hill, about 11 miles south of Boston, the base of the Cape Ann lighthouses is visible (with a telescope, I suppose he means), right down to the water's edge, although that should not be the case with a round earth. Whether this is so or not. 1 do not know. The way to settle the cjuestion would be to try the experiment. Blue hill is less thin 40 miles in an airline from Cape Ann The mean curvature of the earth amounts to about eight inches in a
mile, and the drop increases as the
square of the distance, so that at 40 miles it would be about l,06t; feet. If it were not for the reffiflifiii f tlio a 1 1- R 1 1 1 o i i 1 1 tliou

For example, take those who aver that the Panama canal is a practical demonstration of the flatness of the earth because. forsooth, the engineers worked to a base levell" In trying to maintain this proposition they make statements that a high school boy would laugh at. Xo far from being an object lesson to prove the flatness f the earth, the Panama canal I- an object lesson of an exactly opposite kind. ThN is shown by the simple terms of n definition of levelling given by a great practical engineer, which anybody may read with illumination. "levelling is the art of determining the relative heights of points on the surface of the ground as referred to a hypothetical surface which cuts the direction of gravitv." (i. e. the plumbline.

Thus the line traced indicates a h pot hetical prolongation of the surface of the sea inland. 1 which is vrrywheie comformalde ( to the arth's curvature." ! It is because the surface of the; canal corresponds in curvature with the surface of the globe In that ' part of the earth where it lies that J its waters remain at rest, or are . what is popularly called "level." By J
referring the observation to fixed celestial objects it can be proved that the plumbllne at each end of the canal inclines toward that at the other end at just such an angle as would correspond with the inclination to one another of the two radii of a globe 8,000 miles In diameter, if those radii cut the globe's surface at a distance apart equal to the straight length of the canal. Sine here an opportunity for pettifogging, it may be well to say bv wav of precaution, that the pre

the hill and the refractive index of ;
the atmosphere at the time and place, for that is a variable meteorological element. But there is an approximate formula, which I borrow from Prof. Young, that will solve the problem when the data, are ascertained: The dip of th line of sight to tlm horizon i- equal, in minutes of a.-c. to the square root of the observer's elevation in
feet above sea leel. This must be j corrected for refraction. whi-h ordi- ' narily diminishes the dip by about t
Ö per cent, of the calculated amount. To get the distance in miles corresponding to any given angle of horizontal dip. multiply the tangent of that angle, taken from a trigonometrical table, by the radius of the earth. The mistakes of the earth flatteners in finding, as they asserted, level spaces in water miles in length were shown up by B. A. Proctor many years ago. See his "Astronomical Paradoxes."
