A falling body moves much more
rapidly as it approaches the ground
than it did when it commenced to fall.
Its motion is, therefore, termed so
uniformly accelerated notion in
other words, If body being moving
at certain velocity at the expiration
of one second from the point OF time
at which 1t was allowed TO fall, it will
be moving twice as fast at the expira-
ton of two seconds, and so on. Ex-
periments have shown that the rate
per second at which bodies acquire
velocity in falling through the air is
thirty-two feet per second at the end
of the first second after it has dropped
from the hand; at the end of the next
second with velocity of sixty-four
feet, and at the end of the third at
the rate of ninety-six feet per second,
and SO on. The velocity of body at
any period of its fall may DO ascer-
tanned by multiplying the rate of mo-
ton at the end of the first second by
the number of seconds it has been
falling. The velocity being known,
the space through which it has fallen
may be asccriained by multiplying the
velocity of that period by the number
of seconds during which it has been
falling, and dividing the result by
two. These rules only apply with
absolute correctness when body falls
sin vacuo," for the resistance Of the
air materially retards the velociiies,
especially when they become consid-
cradle, and when the body has great
bulk in proportion to its weight.
Were it not for this resistance, every
raindrop, descending as it does from
a height of many hundred feet, would
strike with force as fatal as that of
rife bullet.-[Brooklyn Eagle.

A Little Flower Worth 10000.

a remarkable lucky find of valu-
able orchid has resulted in bringing a
certain amount of fame and certain
amount of money to the lucky i'm
porter. This is Mr.. Sander of st. Al
bans, London, England, whose name
is well known 10 all who take an in
terest in these parasitic plants.
Three years ago he imported some
specimens of Cypripedrum, or Lady's
Slipper, the commonest and cheapest
of the orchid tribe. In the lot he
found one which proved in Towering
to be golden yellow instead of green,
as usual. Knowing it must be valu-
able, he divided the plant into two
portions, one of which he sold TO Mr..
r. ii. Measures for $3.50, and the
other he sent to auction, where it was
bought by Baron Schroeder for $500.
Mr.. Measures divided his half into
four parts, one Of which he sold to
Mr.. r. j. Measures of Cambcrweii,
the second to Mr.. +. L. Anne Of Bes-
ton, Mass, the third he kept for him
self, and the fourth Messrs. Sander,
the original owners of the whole
plant, have bought for 10 less sum
than $1250. According to the price
paid for an eighth of the original
plant it would appear that its first
value was $4,000.
Baron Schroeder lie one of the most
notable collectors in the country, and
at his place in Egham, Surrey, he has
a collec ion of these plants which must
have cost him something like $780,

of the species Cypripedium Stonei for
$1,000, and other sales are recorded in
which specimens have fetched nearly

Careful measurements, made on
persons of both sexes by Professor
G. NJ. West, have so far yielded some
definite results which are published as
preliminary; further details will no
doubt be forthcoming later. In the
case of the female face, the results go
TO show that there are three distinct
periods of growth, the first of which
ends at about the seventh year, the third
beginning about the age of fifteen.
The abrupt transition from one period
to another il indicated by the very
slow growth of some children until
the ages of eight aud fourteen, when
a rapid development often occurs.
From the fifth to the tenth year the
average growth appears to be about
6.5 millimetrcs. and from this time
little advance is made, The maximum

To the Unappreciared.

Fools, philosophers and preachers, and a
host Of ether teachers,
Have been trumping up prescriptions for
producing happiness,
Each warranted, il shaken and regularly
taken,
To result in perfect heaven, perfect peace
and nothing less.
This has satisfied the masses, but there are
among the classes,
Another sort of people, and stand here
as their friend,
To be miserable they are yearning, to misery
they are turning,
No method can escape them that promises
that end.
Now my pity-seeking winners, my persistent
sad repiners,
A good stiff resolution is the first thing
you must heed;
Start up determination that shall brighten
all creation
And vow you will have misery sufficient
for Your need.
NOW don't mind what some are saying about
balmy breezes playing,
Or the bounties of kind Providence, or
natures beauties fair;
Treat al such insinuations as you would
your poor relations,
But keep one eye fixed on misery and you
surely win get there
Let your jealousy awaken; think you are
the most forsaken,
Unappreciated mortal that ever walked
the earth.
Search for people in the mircs, for the vii
lains, cheats and liars,
And your purpose will not fail you, but
yield you its full worth.
Shut your eyes to all that's fair, search for
blackness everywhere
Except within your own heart, for that
alone is white.
Hunt for evil, and pursue 1t for the joy it
gives to view It,
And I'll warrant you that misery shall
walk with you day and night.
