A New Railway RESPONSE
bilaty. srsl7

A remarkable instance of the
value of expert scientific testimo-
ny ia court occurred recently III
st. Louis. The case, which is tho
first of its kind on record, was
brought about as follows: A boy |
eleven year of age, who was stand
ing beside railroad track, as q |
train rushed by at high speed, was
hurled to the ground and rolled
under the cars by the force of the
current of air caused by the mo-
ton of the train. A suit for da-
IMAGES was brought against the
railroad on the ground that the
boy was not on the track when the
train passed, and, therefore, was
not responsible for the accident.
The defense claimed that a mov-
ing train creates no vacuum be-
meath the cars, and consequently
no suction sufficiently powerful to
move body weighing, as in this
case. some sixty-three pounds.
Prof. Francis E. Nipher, a mem
Der of the Faculty of Washington
University, was then put upon the
stand to explain the scientific pri-
nciple involved. He stated that,
although the train did not create
any suction at sides or beneath
the train, it nevertheless dragged
a great current of air along with
lit. The movement Of this body of
Lair increases as the speed of the
train is accelerated. The air near
est the train, of course, moves fas-
test, and the further one stands
from the track the less he will find
1.-THE air disturbed by it. Now if q
person be standing near a rapidly
moving train, the side of his body
nearer the train is in a current ol
9 air which is moving faster thar
the air on the other side OF him
This has a tendency to turn hin
around. It does net require {
very great pressure of this kint
to throw him down, and the re
volving motion his body has &C
quired serves to roll him TOWARD
a the track when he strikes th'
ground. The body is, therefore
turned in direction which is Ger
4 tain to make it roll toward tn
rails, and the boy was undoubted
ly drawn under the cars in thi
way. The expert scientific testi
mony carried the day, and .th
railroad was obliged to pay tn
u damages, IS, 600. Scientific Ame1

Jnngling Piano Strings.

Another case occurred in house
where 1 was onoo stopping In Nova
Scotia A piano with a bad note was
fixed by simply opening an inside shut
ter of bay window Mt the opposite side
of parlor from tho pinno The latch of
one shutter was lightly resting against
the edge of another and caused tho jan
gle when one particular noto was struck.
The lady player had previously declared
that she would send for tuner the next
day and laughed at my attempt to fix it
by hunting about the room while she
pounded. However, she did not conceal
her surprise when the trouble was re-
moved and admitted that there was
something about this sound business
that she did not quite understand.

however, Twill say that it is not always

Birch Bark Shoes

Shoes and other articles besides bas-
kets and cabinets are manufactured from
birch bark by the Russian peasant1y.
The bark from which these articles arc
made is from the inner skin of tho Rus
sian birch tree, common in almost all
parts OF the empire. 1t is gathered
spring and fall, and tho process is very
simple one An incision is first made
around the trunk of the tree, and the
peasants have lnack Of tearing or IN
winding the bark from the starting
point, which gives them a strip of even
width that they wind into ball and
keep through the winter until it is dry
enough to use 1t is then made into
shoes, baskets and other useful articles.
The banks shoes are universally worn
by the Russian peasantry. Other shoes
used i'll winter are made of Sleeps wool.
These are manufactured by itinerant
cobblers who travel from house to house,
using the peasants own materials

THE PLANET URANUS.
Some Interesting Things @ Voyage to ths
Gigantic World Would Disclose.


Gigantic World Would Disclose.
IF Uranus, which is star of about
the sixth magnitude, were planet like
those little ones called asteroids, which
are being discovered by the dozen every
year, it could not have much claim upon
popular attention. But Uranus is really
q gigantic world, more than 90 times
as largo as ours. Its vast distance, now
about 1,700, 900, 600 miles from the
earth, is what causes it to look so small.
Uranus has four moons, which reyolye
backward in their orbits-that is to say,
they revolve from east to west around
Uranus, while Uranus goes, like all the
other planets, from west to east around
the sun. 1t is believed that Uranus TO-
tates backward OH it's axis also. More.
over, the axis of that great, strange
globe lies in such direction that In
the course of its year, which is equal to
81 OF our years, the sun shines almost
perpendicularly first upon one pole and
then upon the other. Measured by our
time standard, there are 10 years of con-
slant daylight, followed by 40 years of
unbroken night, around the poles of
Uranus. And tho sun rises in tho west
and sets In the east there But tho sun
looks very small when Vowed from
Uranus-only one four-hundredth as
large as 1t appears to us Still it sheds
upon that planet 1000 times as much
light as the full moon sends to the
earth, so that daylight upon Uranus,
while faint compared with the blazo of
a terrestrial monday, is nevertheless q
very respectable kind of illumination.
1t is pity that tho telescope Is able
to show Us very little Of the detail of
the surface of Uranus Some faint bands
or belts, just visible with the most pow
erful instruments, are all that can be
made out If we could visit Uranus we
should probably be greatly surprised, If
not greatly disappointed. It's average
density is but tr1flo III excess of that
lof water, and of course it's surface den
sity is far less.
A voynger from tho earth landing on
Uranus would probably sink almost as
rapidly as if he had leaped upon one
of thOs, round white thunderclouds
which, piled high in air, look 30 solid
and snowy cool on July afternoon He
could no more walk on tho surface of
that world than he could walk on water.
, 1t has generally been assumed TINT
the meaning of the slight density Of
Uranus is thnt That planet Is still in a
vaprous or liquid condition and cS-
ceeding(y hot perhaps If SO, 1t may In
the course of future ages contract and
condense and cool until it comes into u
condition resembling the elrth's VIII
vital forces then become active upon it
and produce n long succession Of living
species, Frightening its dim daylight
with tho color Of flowers and tho ccuss-
less activity of animate cxistcnoo2 It Is
not likely that man Will over bo ablo to
answer that question, but who that
looks upon Uranus keeping step with
the earth to the music of tho sun can
help asking it?-Garrett p. Scrviss in
New York Sun
