The Return of Projectile.

The question is often asked; win
an object thrown into the air (either
from the hand, volcano, or even when
shot from rifle or cannon) return to
the earth with the same initial velocity
with which it left?" The answer is:
A projectile thrown vertically upwards
into the air will return with velocity
less than the initial The word less is
emphasized because this view of the
matter is contrary to the one generally
accepted. In the air the accelerating
force which acts during the descent is
not equal to the retarding force during
ascent. The retarding force is the
same for the weight of the projectile
and the atmospheric resistance-both
acting in the same direction. In the
descent the accelerating force is the
difference of these two since they act
in opposite directions. In a vacuum it
would be different. In that case, the
weight of the projectile being the only
force actino, this force would generate
in each foot of the ball exactly the
same amount of velocity that it had
lost in its passage upwards Thus, the
final would find it with a speed equal
to it's initial elocity.-Detroit Free

Needed Some PreparatIon.

The business man was sitting in his
Office, thinking of starting for home,
when suspicious-looking person came
in with a satchel in his hand.
''If you don't give me five thousand
dollars" said the visitor, coming at
once to the point, 81 will drop this on
the floor"
The business man was cool.

Dynamite, was the brief reply.
What will it do if you drop it?"
"Blow you up"
drop it," was them stantcommand.
'fMy wife told me when - left home
this morning to be sure and send up a
load of coal, and | forgot it. guess it
will take just about as much dynamite
as you've got there to prepare me for
the blowing up I'll get when she sees
me-" He threw himself back in his
chair and awaited for the explosion,
but it did not come.
"Fm a married man myself" said
the dynamiter, and quietly slipped out.

the negative was not hers and must
not be wasted, SO it was left in the
alum for few minutes and after
wash was left in the hypo bath, but her
quick eyes had seen enough to tell her
that John Beasley had lied to her, for,
fixed in her memory as surely as it was
now being fixed on the plate, was the
picture of that young man sitting by
the side of Miss Green, his head turned
toward her, his hand almost touching
hers
She sat thinking for some time, and
was only reused by hearing footsteps
in the passage, followed by knock at
the door,
Yes, who is it?"
TT IS l." answered Gilbert's voice.
''They are trying some new music in
the drawing-room and Lady Harley
wants your help. May come IMP"
"Yes, the negative is fixed now, the
light will not hurt it. You can come
in"
Gilbert groped his way into the room
and found Dorothy seated at the devel-
oping table. MAY see the photograph
you have taken? Has the castle came
out well?"
She lifted the plate from under the
running water tap and held it up be-
fore the red lamp for him to see. She
turned her head, and their eyes met
for a second as he leaned over her
shoulder. but before he could say
word of surprise there was sudden
flare, snap and gurgling sound, and
with one wild flicker the lamp went
out and they were in darkness.
"Where is the door? / know shall
tumble over something and do some
damage. Will you lead me? You know
the room better than l do"
A small soft hand was slipped into
his, and though Dorothy did know that
room quite well they were very long
time finding the door-but then. you
see, the room was very dark. London

WOMEN LIKE IT.

For women especially this mode Of
sleeping is recommended by the pro-
fessor, and he claims to be in receipt of
endless communications from ladies
throughout Germany who have found
untold relief in following his simple
prescription. In an essay recently read
by the professor the advantages to the
physical nature from this manner Of
sleeping were shown to be unmistaka-
ble and easily understood as such by
the lecsnrer's audience in the plain but
convincing language employed.
Briefly, the professor urged that the
veins are better Kept filed with blood,
the blood flowing toward the brain is
conducive of clearer, more rested
mental condition upon awakening,
and the heart finding easier action is
net called upon FOR such hard work,
and therefore the tired feeling often
accompanying the first awakening is
done away with.

II really genuine, as the professor
claims it Is
Superstition or legend or the custom
of wears has had an influence upon US
while we slept that has been almost as
areat - the like influences while we
are awake. It bas been vaguely under
stood that if we sleep with our head to
the North it is much better than point
ing in any other direction can possibly
be, while lying upon our left side is
certain Indication We are free from
heart disease, and lying upon our back
is quite as certain sign that we are
intending to suore.
Adding to these, the idea has pos

than our feet, entirely overlooking the
fact that the typical American, ever
healthy, Vigorous and good looking, is
invariably represented in foreign papers
as sitting in g. very low chair with his
feet Oh the Convenient mantelpiece
some yards, apparently, above him.
But Professor Fischer has changed
all that; be has demonstrated by a
series of painstaking and careful expert
ments that we should sleep with our
feet slightly elevated, or the head a
trife lower than the feet, as be puts it,
and this condition be advises bringing
about by placing pillows under the feet
and none under the head.
The advantages claimed by Professor
Fischer resulting from this manner Of
lying are that the intellectual! repose is
much more profound than obtained by
the present prevailing method; also
that amelioration of the nervous system
is greater; that the effects on the veins
10 better and consequently the condi-
tion of the blood is improved and
weakness Of the lungs is thereby
largely overcome. If in trying the ef-
feet of this position for sleeping any
unpleasant sensation is experienced,
the feet will be found to have been too
higb, and therefore they should be
covered little by little by using pillows
OF less thickness, until the proper
height is reached, which is readily de-
termined by the improved feeling of
the sleeper.
