ga Little Philosophy

c. B. Hudson, of Vandalia, Mo-,
writes that Newton says: "Ifa hole
were made through the center Of the
earth and a ball let fall from one
side it will pass beyond the center,
but will continue swaying back and
forth until finally it stops at the CEN
ter of the EARTH" Is this correct?
Suppose a hole made through the
center of the earth, would not -.
air rush in from both sides and ELL
the vacuum? Now if the air at the
greatest only extends 200 miles above
the surface of the earth (and half
the pressure only about 81 miles)
and presses upon it with a force of
10 lbs. to the square inch, what
would be the pressure at its center2
The body there would have to hold
up a column OF air over 1900 miles.
Would not the density of the air
be SO great that the body would be
suspended in air before it reached
the center?

WAS THERE BLOODSHED!
Rumor at Washington That American
Marines We're Landed at Honolulu.

WASHINGTON, D.. c., Jan. S.-A
rumor is current at the Capitol this
afternoon that the dispatches from
Minister Willis to Secretary Ores
ham state that marines were landed
at Honolulu from American war
ships, and that fighting and blood
shed ensued. The rumor, although
apparently baseless, is gaining
credeuce in many quarters. So TAI
it cannot be verified. In favor Of
the correctness of the rumor it il
argued that the Provisional Gov
eminent, under Thurston's mentor
ship, may have become aggressive
and arrested the Queen, thus pre-
| cipitating a riot in the city, ano
that minister Willis to protect life
and property of Americans, whc
were compelled to use their arms
to carry out their orders.
To an inquiry made at the State
| Department late this afternoon a
to the truth of the rumor the an
swer was made by one of the officials
"Don't lose any time on the re
port. 1t is baseless."

A Wandering Secretary.

From the st. Louis Republic, January 9.
Sam Cook is editor of the Mexico
InteIligencer and Secretary of The
Democratic State Committee of Ms
souri,. Sam has come out as a ram
pant Populist-at least he is RAM
pant in favor of Government 2 per
cent. loans to private individuals on
real estate security, and when a man
accepts The land loan theory he swal-
lows everything else that Populist
paternallsm calls its own.
Democratic papers sH over the
State are jumping on Samuel and
have not jumped hard enough yet.
The Secretary of the regular State
organization has some responsible
ties, and when he becomes the adj
vocate of a proposition which defies
the most honored principles of the
party he should be held to account.
If the editor of the InteMgencer wish.
es to ally himself with the old PEG.
pies party or the new P%eople's-Sll-
yer party, the matter is one for such
f~raternal remonstrance as the Demo.
cratic press of the State may be dis,
posed to express. When the Sec.
rotary of the regular organization
abandons his party doctrines tor
something new, the entire organiza-
ton is interested in knowing how
far his later affiliations are consist.
ent with his official party position.
The trouble with Sam is that the
extra session got him started away
from the Democratic idea of silver
and toward the Populist idea Of
money as a gift from the Govern
ment to the people. He just kept
on going while most of those who
started as he did pulled themselves
up in time to stay on the Democrat
ic platform.

CHURCH DISCIPLINE.
Internal Dissension Among the Chris

NEVADA, Mo-, Jan. 6.-The
Christian church, one Of the largest
and wealthiest church organizations
in this city, is now torn with inter-
nal dissension. Quite recently over
one hundred new members were
added to the church membership
under the preaching Of Evangelist
Boles of Indiana.
The board, at a late meeting,
adopted a series Of resolutions
strongly ~condemning dancing ,covet'
BUSINESS and card parties, and de-
Gliding thst members of the church
engaging In these pastimes were Fl.
subjects for church discipline. Tit
resolutions brought out a pro
test from a very large and respect
able contingent of the church. Boil
resolutions and protest were pub
lished in the papers of this city AM
resulted in considerable feeling be
ing aroused. The end of the matte
ia looked forward to with much in
terest, as forty-five members of th
, church are listed for discipline unde
the resolutions.

The City Council should see that
the Fire Company is kept supplied
with plenty of hose and that the hose
is kept in frst-class condition. We
are payinga great deal of money for
protection against fire and when We
do have a fire everything should be
in the best of condition. At the
present time we have only about
500 feet of hose which can be used
in case Of a fire. There should not
be less than 1000 or 1900 feet.
After the hose is purchased it should
be taken care Of. After a block OF
two of buildings are burned it will
be too late to prepare for a fire.
