THE LAW OF MOTION.

lfa person were to jump into the

moving train, his feet would reach the
floor in a direct line to very spot
from which he jumped in accordance
with the second law of motion, which
says; II there be two or more causes
of motion taking place in two different
right lines, whether inherent IN the body
or external to il, their effects do not
interfere, nor does either diminish or
augment the effect of the other. In
other words, when force acts upon
body in motion, the change of motion
which it produces IS in the direction
and propoitioned 10 the magnitude
of the force which acts. Those who
move on a railroad at the rate of 80
miles an hour, or As feet in second,
do 20. find the relation in which they
stand to the objects IN the car iu any
degree changed by the velocity. Take
a stone, by way of illustration-instead
of the person jumping-and it, like the
passengers, has a common motion
onward with and derived from the
train, and when let fall from the
hand it retains that motion during
its descent. At the beginning
of its fall it would have the speed
of the train in horizontal direct.
ion, and gravity would act upon
1t in vertical direction, and it would
fall as if the car was without motion.
If the stone be dropped outside from
the platform of the car to the lower
step thereof, instead of the ground, it
will be found that in accordance with
the laws stated it will fall in a vertica,
hue, the same as does the stone let fall
inside the car. The stone if dropped
to the ground outside, likewise falls in
direct vertical line, but it has lost the
onward motion of the train and is left

HOW SPENCE REFORMED.

One day a man registered at
Waco, Texas, hotel.
So you are from Tombstone, Arz.,
remarked the Waco hotel clerk to the
newly. arrived guest, after looking at
the register.
Yes, I've lived in Tombstone, for the
last ten years, replied the other party.
| had friend who went to Arizona
about five years ago, and Eve not
heard anything of him for about four
years.
What is his namef
1t was Spencer Dickinson. He was
born and raised in Waco. He was a
pretty wild boy.
0, yes, I've met him. He came to
our town about four years ago.
Is he there Yet2
Oh, yes he is there yet.
He is pretty lively boy. amt he2
No, l don't think you can call him
that, replied the man from Tombstone.
Well, l don't suppose you folks in
frontier town consider him lively, but
here in Waco, we used to regard him
as sort of Hades with a sulphur pot
on the single tree. Don't he ride his
horse into saloons and shoot out the
lights?
Not bit of it. There amt quleter
man in all the town than Spence.
Then he don't split the town wide
open every time he gets on drunk?
He never gets drunk any more.
You don't say so2
/ Yes, | do say so.

has gone out of the gay Lothario bus

He is not preaching the gospel, but
his name is never mixed up in social
scandals.
Well, Pm glad to hear that Spence
has become quiet citizen. l often
predicted that he would if he ever got
rid of his associates here in Waco.
What business is Spence IN now1
He is in the real estate business.
Has he been in it long?
Yes; he went into the real estate
business permanently two days after he
arrived in Tombstone. You see the
day after Spence got there he cut up
so that the citizens took him out and
hung him, and he has been in the real
estate business ever since. QuietP
Well, l should say he was quiet.

POISON FROM PEACH TREES.
The Prussfc Acid In the Leaves Killed a
Flock of sheep.

Taking a drink of this cherry sirup,
said doctor as he quenched his thirst
at soda water fountain, reminds me
of a catastrophe we had out on our
farm one summer. You think 1t
strange that drink of soda water
should bring a farm incident into nv
mind. Well, it is peculiar, but every
time | taste amgy dalic acid, and this
cherry is filled with it, l call to mind
en- incident which cost my father quite
a sum of money. My father was
great sheepgrower and took pride in
the high grade of stock he raised. He
also had a great deal Of the farm
planted with peach trees, to which he
devoted much of his time.
One summer when | was boy
something went wrong with the trees,
necessitating the cutting off of many
Of the branches. The branches were
strewn al! over the grass of the peach
grove where the sheep were wont to rest
in the shade. A short time after this
my father lost nearly all his sheep
within day by what seemed to be
the result OF some poison. He could
account for the wholesale slaughter OF
all the sheep dying with similar symp.
toms in no way except it was the work
of some enemy. l concluded 10 find
out what caused the sheep to die.
1t was my flrst work in diagnosing,
and 1t became so interesting to me
| that it influenced me in choosing my
profession later. | worked hard to
find it the sheep had eaten anything In
the shape of a poisonous weed, but
failed to trace it TO this cause. 1t sud
denly came INTO my mind that the
sheep that had been pc nned in another
part of the farm and had not been ii

that had escaped. So l conclu Gee
that the poison must be in the peach
orchard. | noted the branches of the
peach trees which had been cut still
lying upon the ground, and something
told me that these branches held the
secret. l called on physician 10 ge'
some information about drugs, for as
boy l knew nothing in the way o
deadly things except the pizen vine
and other reputed noxious plants.
l asked him If the peach branche:
could have poisoned the sheep. Why
certainly, he replied. They coulc
poison with the deadliest poisor
