LITTLE BOB" MITCHELL'S LAST
LETTER.
The weekly register. [volume] (Point Pleasant, Va. [W. Va.]) 1862-1909, 1892-12-20
Day. rive or ST. Hour. LONG.

As the evidence of the earth's crust
proves that our globe has lasted for
incalculable ages, it becomes of in
terest to think how far the gradual
elongation of the day may have at
tanned significant proportions since
very early times. 1t may be that
even in thousand years the effect
of the tides is not sufficient to alter
the length of the day by so much as
a single second. But the effect may
be very appreciable or even large in
a million years, or ten million years.
or hundred million years We have
the best reasons for knowing that in
intervals of time comparable with
those have mentioned the change
IN the length of the day may have
amounted not merely to seconds or
minutes, but even to hours.
Looking into the remote past, there
was time at which this globe spun
around in twenty three hours instead
of twenty-four; at a still earlier
period the rate must have been
twenty hours, and the further we
look back the more and more rapidly
does the earth appear to be spinning.
AT last, as we strain our gaze to some
epoch so excessively remote that it
appears to have been anterior. to
those changes which geology recog-
nizes, we see that our globe was spin
ming round in a period of six hours, or
five hours, or possibly even less.
Here, then, is lesson which the
tides have taught us. They have
shown that if the causes at present
in operation have subsisted without
interruption for sufficiently long
period in the past, the day must have
gradually grown to its present length
from an initial condition in which the
earth seems to have spun around
four times as quickly as it does at
present.-Good Words.

ORIGIN nf ..whitaean.r ;,

The term "whitecap" did not orr
ginate in this country, but its origin
dates back nearly century to Coun-
ty Kerry, Ireland.
Nearly 100 years ago, when Ire
land was more populous than at
present, and when the people We're
not so harassed by British misrule,
there lived in County Kerry a large
and influential family named White
cap, who whenever any of their
neighbors became too obstreperous
or immoral waited on them in the
night, took them from their houses
and gave them a sound thrashinp
with a -nine-tails as a warming
to desist from their wrong doing and
evil practices.
Similar clans were formed in other
sections of Ireland, all of whom were
called whitecaps, not white caps.
two words, as they are written in
this country. The popular impress
sion Is that the appellation comes
from the form and color of the head
dress that the regulators wear when
perpetrating one of their outrages.
but this is a mistake, as the history
of the movement proves. The white
caps IN Ireland were a terror to evil
doors and were of value TO the good
order of the society of their day. but
1 don't know that there is need for
them in any part of America. Inter

The effect produced ON the charac-
ter of cement for mortars by the size
or form of the sand employed has
been the subject of investigation by
NJ Ferret, a French expert, who pre-
pared artificial sands out of crushed
quartzite, with view TO determine
its strength as compared with sand
of natural formation. The sand as
received from the crusher was grad
ed into three degrees of fineness.
The first consisted of such grains as
would pass through sieve contain
ing four meshes to the square cent?
meter, and were retained on a sieve
of thirty-six meshes per square CEN
timeter; the second consisted of
grains passing through a sieve of
thirty-six meshes to the square cen
timeter and retained in one of a
much finer mesh, while the third con-
sisted of the grains passing through
this last sieve. Measured dry each of
these samples had practically the
same specific weight, the second
being slightly the lightest. Mixed in
various proportions it was found
that the mixture having the highest
specific weight was one compris-
ing six parts of the first sand and
four of the third, the weight of this
being 30 per cent more than that of

"o'er the fields of the barley and hay,
And bring me the talisman flower of Love"

1t is said that the captain of a rob
Der band who desires wife does his
counting after this style: Casting his
eye on some fair village maiden, he
descends upon the occasion of adance
on the green, and mingling with the
dancers manages to dance with the
fair one himself. Then he charms
her with his grace and the beauty of
his dancing, whispers love messages
in her terrified ears-for well she
knows with whom she is dancing
and circling ever nearer and nearer
to the outer edge of the company he
suddenly gives a whistle, and his men
appear in a moment and dash of
with the prize, the leader covering
their retreat by a fusillade of fire
arms which the villagers dare not
return, being too much cowed by the
bandits daring.
