Gravity and Impetus.

A proposition which provoked great
deal Of argument and upon which much
paper was wasted and the laws of gray
ity and impetus sadly mangled was the
one about the result of dropping leaden
stone from the top of the mast of rap
idly moving vessel. The theorists got
hold Of the subject and straightway APP
piled their best known rules and maxims
to the problem. Some demonstrated that
the weight would fall straight down, and
while it was falling the ship would pass
from under it and it would fall some
where astern, or perhaps hit the man at
the wheel Others held that it would
fall a few feet from the mast, and yet
others that it would plump down right
at the foot. This problem was solved in
the usual way by one who was not a the
orist, but who could climb mast, which
he did forthwith. and dropping the
weight found that it took the impetus of
the vessel and fell right at the foot of the
mast, exactly as it would have done had
the vessel been standing perfectly STILL

Double Stars.

1t seemed impossible for many years to
find the parailax Of a single star, an es-
sential element in determining its dis
lance and consequently its mass. Bessel
in 1888 found the parallax of 81 Cygni
and from it computed its distance to be
seven light years, or that it takes seven
years for it's light to reach the earth.
This star, the nearest to the earth In
che northern heavens, is a small fifth
magnitude star in the Swan. Its compo-
nents, nearly equali i'll size, are of the fifth
and sixth magnitudes, shining with a
white light tinged with yellow.

Uems re Of different colors. Beta Signi,
a double star, displays the exquisite COM
binat1on of topaz yellow and sapphire

Epsilon LyrB is quadruple star. 1t
is called nakea eye double, since the
eye just separates it into two compo-
nents. These can be again separated,
giving double double or quadruple star.
Sigma Orionis is multiple star. Each
of its two principal components is triple,
and it's leading member can be again di-
yided into two stars These seven minute

Two Bright Minds In Collision.


General Butler had charge of bill,
and in the time allotted to him for clos
ing the debate he was answering seriatim
the members who had opposed him. He
treated them all with respect until he
came to Mr.. Cox, whom he answered
last.
''And now" said be, las to the gentle
man from New York who sits on my
right. My answer shall be very brief
and very simple. 1t is whistled by the
bootblacks on the street; it is sung by
tho chambermaids in the hotels; it is in
rybody's mouth--'Shoo. fly; don't bod
der me-"
Butler suited the action to the word
by drawing his right hand rapidly across
his ear as if aimed at an intruding f1y
and took his seat amid the laughter of
the house.
A short time afterward Cox got partly
even. He (Cox) had the floor and was
abiding to a remark made in debate by
Massachusetts, member. Butler jumped
up and asked Cox if he (Butler) was the
person meant.

He Was Fond of Celery.

If celery is the nerve bracer that some
are disposed to consider it, there is one
man in Philadelphia who is in no danger
of nervous prostration. A gray bearded,
brown wigged, mild eyed, middle aged,
imperturba bic little old man walked Sc
dately into'a well known Chestnut street
cafe the other night, dotted his hat and
coat, sat down to table, tucked nap
kin under his chin, drank the whole of
a glass of ice water placed before him
by the waiter and said, Bring me an
order of celery, all white and clean"
Right, SIR said the waiter hesitating-
ly. That's ALL" murmured the little
old man as he pushed out his glass for a
fresh supply of water.
The celery came, the little man quick
ly devoured that; called for another or
der, devoured that; called for another
order and made that disappear, and so
on till all the walters, all the oyster open
eners, all the attendants, the cashier and
customers We're beholding him in aston
ishment. AS the last bit of the succu-
lent vegetable disappeared the waiter
turned over the little mans check,
amounting to so cents. All unconscious
Of the furore he had created, the cham
pion celery eater pulled on his overcoat,
carefully adjusted his hat, gave the
waiter dime. pulled on his gloves, paid
his check at the desk, lighted cigar,

RUN THE GANTLET OF SOUTH ENID.
Rock Island Trainmen Defy the Town OFF,
and Refuseto Slow Up.

Rock Island Trainmen Defy the Town OFF,
GERS and Refuseto Slow Up.
The city officials of South Enid, in the
Cherokee strip, are making life burden
some to Rock Island trainmen. George
Davis, a Missouri Pacific official, who re-
turned here today, tells a remarkable
story about the two Ends and the trou-
BILE Rock Island trainmen experience in
getting their trains through the south
town. South Enid is the town established
by the government, while Nort,, Enid, a
mile or SO away, is Cherokee ;llctmen;
town, in which the Rock ISL hiss a.
interest. There is depot at N nth llnit.
where the trains stop. PASSENGERS fo1
South Enid disembark there AID go the
balance Of the way in L z Is.
South Enid is a booming town. and
it's legislators, full Of their rev power,
make ordinances to cover all the exigen-
cies Of life In brand new town. They
have been greatly worried at the lack of
proper railroad facilities, and to move
the company they recently passed an or
dinance compelling it to run it's trains
through the town at speed not greater
than four miles an hour under penalty
of fine not less than 81 900 for each of
Tense.
In describing the condition of things
at South Enid, Davis said: ''At the out
skirts Of the town the authorities have
stationed man with flag, and when a
train approaches he lowers the flag and
man at the other end of the town sets
his stop watch and times the train. Be
fore starting his train through the town
the engineer cuts off the airbrakes, and
the company has an officer on every plat
form to prevent the townspeople from
jumping on the train and setting the
handbrakes. Four officers with stars
affixed to their coats board every train
as it goes through town in an endeavor
to serve papers on the conductor while
he is within the city limits.
Before the train gets within the town
limits, however, the conductor always
gets in the express car and is protected
by the express messengers with their
winchesters from any interference from
the men with the papers. The company
has informed the conductors that if any
Of them are arrested the company will
stand by them and see that they do not
languish too long in the calaboose. The
calaboose at South Enid is frail struc-
ture that a fairly strong boy could break
out of and would not confine a railroad
man very long were it not for the fact
that sunk in the dirt floor is big log to
which malefactors are chained. 1t is
difficult to predict what the outcome
will be should the town legislators of
South Enid Succeed in corralling Rock
Island railroad trainman.- Topeka Dis

An Artificial Foot For a Peacock.

We have heard of a cat with false
teeth, horse with spectacles, cow with
wooden leg, and now here is a gentle
man writing to The Field to ask where
he can obtain an artificial foot for his

people who love to be called foolish IN a

Street Car Conductors Are Too Familiar
With His Ways to Be Caught.
T Z ''The railroad spotter has about out
lived his usefulness and will soon have
| to seek another occupation" was the re-
mark of a Broadway street car conduct
or. 'tNearly all the spoilers in the city
are now known personally to all the con-
ductors, for the new men are introduced
to the conductors by means of a secret
code of signals while they are being
broke in
The system Of checking is also so we'll
understood that the moment q new spot
ter commences he is himself spotted and
laughed at. The most popular method
is to read book and to turn over page
every time q passenger enters 81 car or
pays his fare. !.
Many Of the ladies who skim through
book carelessly as they ride on car
are spoilers, and some of them are SO
careless that they use the same book day
after day, never thinking that it must
be spotted and detected. Other spoilers
Of both sexes use row of pins, and act
ing as though they were nervous trans
fer them from one part of their vest to
another, taking care to move one every
time passenger gets on. Taking notes
on shirt wristbands is much simpler and
really attracts less attention, but it does
not possess the desired righteousness
and is seldom done.
A book could be written on the jokes
that are played on spoilers after they be-
come well known to the conductors. To
accost one of these worthless personally
SIz no icfo &c oil r:c &c
act resorted to in retaliation for special
meanness. and the sting in this lies in
the fact that the spotter knows that dis
charge will follow if the company knows
he has been recognized. Another plan
is to purposely omit to ring up fares, but
to keep careful track of the number
taken. The spotter takes note of the
omission and prepares a report to the
superintendent. In the meantime the
conductor has rung up the fares, doing
go the moment the spotter got Off, and
when the report is compared with the
trip sheets 1T is found that the mistake
has been made not by the man reported,
but by the man or woman making the
report.
But the conscientious spotter is not so
much to be feared. The spotter who
makes the lives of conductors miserable
is the one who guesses. Instead of keep
ing actual tab of the number of pas
sengers some spoilers will make an esti-
mate and actually base a report on it.
This is as ridiculous as unjust, for while
the trip cars are out the crowds are SO
large that the conductor himself could
not make even an approximate guess as
to the number Of fares taken. Still some
Of the detectives in embryo will assume
the ability of doing this, and more than
one man has gone out into the world
with a slur on his reputation for honesty
because of this combination of idleness
and conceit.-New York Telegram

tract he was entitled to one half the
avails of this account and SO charged
in his bill. On the Moody note the
plaintiff received some pay for which
he was willing to account to Gray for
one half. On the other hand the de-
fendant claimed and endeavored to
prove that the plaintiff had received
more pay from Moody, for which he
had not accounted. Questions were
asked es to the validity of this class of
contracts. The judge did not attempt
at this time to give an opinion upon
the point, but advised that the hear
ing upon the case should go on and
the jury determine the balance due.
1t was practically the settlement of
disputed account, and each party
faithfully labored to strengthen his
own position. To this same end the
counsel directed their best efforts.
Every point was contested with a
spirit and a zeal unusual in case of
so small magnitude. The case was
argued at length on both sides, all the
counsel participating.
The judge instructed the jury to
take first the items in plaintiffs
account, running through the whole;
then to take the items in the specifi-
cations of the defendant and then
finding the balance due either party,
render their verdict accordingly
They must take all the conflicting tes-
timony, sift it and come to the fairest
and best conclusion possible. Find
the balance, and cast interest upon
same to date. For the purposes Of

sidered valid.

II is not perhaps generally known
that petroleum can now be produced ar
tifcially- The process is very simple,
being the distillation, in strong iron
vessel, under o pressure Of 25 atnos-
pheres, Of the animal fats and oils at a
temperature Of 900 degreesC Underfa-
yorable conditions 70 per cent Of the fat
ty oils are transformed into petroleum,
which Is 90 per cent Of the theoretical
yield The product thus obtained has
been found to be in every particular iden-
tical with natural petroleum. 1t Is sug-
gsted that, with notifications Of condi-
tions In the process, oils Of different
grades may be produced.
It premature to predict the changes
in the petroleum industry or to say
what bearing this discovery may have.
at present it certainly appears to be Of
little practical Importance, yet is not
the less an interesting fact, and one per
haps not to be lost sight Of. The dis
coyery will doubtlessly Be further de-
veloped, and 1t Is not improbable that 1t
may become Of commercial Importance.
II, as 4 claimed, 10 per cent Of the
animal oil is convertible into good pc
troleum, it would appear that Degras
OIL which sells at cents per gallon,
could proftably be converted into a su-
perior grade Of petroleim, selling, say
at 10 cents. 1t would be no more re-
markable than many other transmuta-
tions If at some future time this dis
covery should find an Important place
