HULKS OF TI1K AIR LANES.
When an international conference met in Paris lately to consider
rules for aerial navigation, the members found they were utterly at
sea with regard to the practical questions they were convened to set
tle. Therefore thev invited experts to advise them, who included such
notable airmen as' lilerior, Pun limn and Latham. M. Bleriot laid the
matter out with the method of a statesman. First he reminded the
lawyers that aircraft were divided into three categories: spherical bal
loons, dirigibles, and aeroplanes. Then he, put and answered the ques
tion of what the rule of the road should be when these various kinds
of aircraft met in the air. One could not expect the non-steerable bal
loon to take the initiative, hence the dirigible or the aeroplane should
always give Avay to it. Then the dirigible balloon was a ponderous
craft'in comparison with the aeroplane. It was slower, more labor
ious in answering the helm, and the huge gas bag shut out a great
part of the heavens from the view of the pilot, for which reasons it
would only be reasonable for the aeroplane always to make way for
the dirigible. M. Rleriot thought the question of bearing to the right
or left wheii aircraft were passing each other was of little importance,
but the passng over or under any other craft should not be allowed
on any account,' as untold dangers would most assuredly arise. For
night he advised a lamp fore and aft.
In one matter the counsel of the expert was set at naught, and that
unanimously, by the conference in adopting a rule that requires the
carrying on aircraft of the owner's national Hag. M. Blc'riot con
demned such a rule as stupidly dangerous, holding that the blowing of
the flag in the breeze might easily cause a fatal accident either to the
airman or someone else. Also he asked what was there to prevent the
Hag from getting entangled in the wires and pulleys, or even in the
motor.
Air navigation lias not advanced far enough to make rules feasible
for the relief of aircraft in distress, showing how they may heave to,
come to anchor, instnl a jury rig, launch a lifeboat, abandon ship, or
avail of any of the various means of salvation patent with seagoing
craft in jeopardy. , f
Having fairly met expectations on the voyage to San Pedro, the
yacht Hawaii ought to make a good showing in the race home.
Senator Harvey's sudden death is a very sad event. He was a
native Hawaiian who faithfully performed important trusts, both
public and private, nis services as 11 member of the last county
board before the municipal government were highly competent. The
party to which he belonged recognized his personal standing by send
ing him to its national convention. In the Senate he showed himself a
devoted friend of the sick and indigent. Many inmates of the leper
settlement were released as free from the disease through a medical
examination obtained on his initiative. Genial and gentlemanly in
marked degree, 31 iv Harvey was generally liked and will be greatly
missed.

IMPROVEMENT IN INTERNATIONAL COMMERCE.
Inernational commerce shows a marked improvement in all the
principal countries of the world. Figures of imports and exports com
piled by the liureau of Statistics of the Department of Commerce and
Labor show, in nearly every case, larger imports and larger exports
in the current commercial year than in the year immediately preced
ing. The Bureau of Statistics compiles each month for presentation in
its monthly summary of commerce and finance a statement showing
the total imports and total exports of each of the principal countries
for such portion of its commercial year as may be available, taking
these statements from the official reports of the countries in question.
The table includes returns from countries of the world and shows
, not only the total imports and total exports during that portion of
the current year which is available, but also the monthly average dur
ing such portion of the year as has elapsed. An examination of this
statement of average monthly imports and exports, country by
country, shows a marked advance in the current year over conditions
in the corresponding periods of last year and thus a return to at least
the normal conditions of commercial activity, the record being in
many cases higher than ever before.
International trade, as is well known, fell off in the period follow
ing the financial depression of 1907-8, and as a consequence the im
port and export figures of nearly all countries were smaller in 1908
than in the immediately preceding year. The increase shown by the
figures of the current year is, therefore, in most cases, more distinctly
a return to normal conditions than an actual advance over those which
existed prior to the financial depression of 1907-8. In many cases,
however, the figures of the current year are materially larger than
ever before and it is probable that the total of international trade in
the calendar year 1910 will surpass that of any former year.
How much of the increase in value of international commerce is
due to higher prices cannot be accurately determined, since the figures
in question are merely those of value and no opportunity exists to
compare the quantity of merchandise moved with the value thereof.
It is well known, however, that in many articles, esneciallv liinniifW.
turer's materials, the quantities entering international trade in the
year iuuimu are mucii greater than in the preceding year; but it is
not improbable that a considerable part of the increase in valuer of
international commerce is duo to higher prices, especially in the nat
ural prouuciN, which snow muruea advances over tne prices of a year
ago.,

The Poet Philosopher
No wthe long", long day is fading, and the hush of dusk is here,
and the stars begin parading', each one in its distant sphere; and the
city's strident voices dwindle to a gentle hum, and
THE TIRED the heart of man rejoices that the hour of rest has
MAN'S SLEEP come. Thrown away i labor's fetter, when the
day has reached its close; nothing in the world is
better than a weary man's repose. Nothing in the world is sweeter
than the sleep the toiler finds, while the ravening moskeeter fusses at
tne window Dimds. rsotiimg 'neath the moon can wake him, short of
cannon cracker's roar; if you'd rouse him you must shake him till you
dump him on the floor. Idle people seek their couches, seek their
beds to toss and weep, for a demon on them crouches, driving from
their eyes the sleep. And the weary hours they number, and they
cry, in toens distraught: "For a little wad of slumber, I would give
a house and lot!" When the long, long day is dying, and you watch
the twinkling stars, knowing that you'll soon be lying, sleeping like a
train of cars, be, then, thankful, without measure; be as thankful as
you can; you have nailed as great a treasure as the gods have given
man !
