The French government has just ob tained from the ST ah of Persia the most valuable archaeological concession ever granted. It gets for the nominal sum of $1O.OO0 the privilege, to the exclu- sion of other European powers, of mak- ing searches for antiquities throughout Persia. Several great cities of the Bi- ble lie buried in the sandy wastes of Iran, and the explorations of Dr. Dieu- Iafoy at Shushan have brought an un- derground wonderland to light in a state almost as realistic as Pompeii, and of far higher antiquity. The color ed bricks of Artaxerxes' palace with life-sized reliefs of archers of the differ ent races of Asia and Africa, at Paris, were unearthed at Shushan, but they are only a small sample of what is still below ground.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: On Aug. 8
the Ladies of the GAR, Circles l and 2, of
Wheeling. W. Va, held one Of the most enjoy
able lawn fetes and suppers in Bridge Park that
was ever given in this section. The grounds
were lighted with electric lights and japanese
lanterns, the decorations were lovely, and the
park looked like fairyland, as the strains of
music OF Meister's foated out upon the air.
There were many beautiful costumes of silk,
laces, and jewels noticed. Prof Ingram, of
Bethany College, conducted the field day and
athletic sports Fully 1900 people were
coming and going during the entire evening.
The Ladies decided not to charge admission,
and the lawn fete was turned into one Of the
most delightful Reunions, for we had as our
guests in attendance, first, last and always, the
GAR. boys OF $685. who redeemed this Ma
ton.
If it is not too late ! would like to tell what

found quite a number of our heroes of '6l-'65

his speech, Mr.. Runyon will receive the men
as citizens OF the United States, and not as
societies of German soldiers taking part in the

axial line and corresponding lengthening in
all directions perpendicular to the middle
point Of that line SO the earth became an
obate spheroid (the difference between the
equatorial and polar diameters is Al miles,,
In which form it cooled and solidiied.
But while the rigid crust of the earth would
no longer yield to any minor change in the
forces which outlined it, it is evident that the
same cannot be said of such parts as still re-
main LIQUID or gaseous, the oceans and at
mosnhere. They would still respond, pilng
up along the equatorial belt, and from their con-
dition as matter and their entire dependence
upon physical laws. they would quickly mark
any modification of the latter.
That this is true will appear upon a moments
further consideration. 1t is plain that should
the earth cease rotating the waters gathered at
the equator would rush poleward and bury
those regions under not feet but miles OF water.
On the other hand, should tho impossible hap
pen and the earth no longer exert gravity, the
oceans would quickly Fly away into space.
1t must be concluded, then, that the hight
TO which the equatorial accumulation actually
rises is determined by the relative strength OF
the two cross forces-one tho centrifugal
force which tends to latten, and the other the
force of gravity, which tends to sphere. In
short, the hight is maintained by two forces
come to an exact balance, which any aug
mentaton or dininution of either would in
simultaneously destroy. Whereupon the gath
cred waters would assume a different hight,
which would again be determined by new ad-
justment Of the balance.
As it was the writer's purpose in the first
chapter to show that the grsVitaton OF the
moon and sun is considerable at the distance OF
the earth, it has been his purpose in this chap
ter to prove that the earth is in condition TO
note the slightest change in either OF the two
forces which support what might be called the
equatorial wave.
With the relation between these two chapters
closely in mind. he will attempt in the next TO
explain their combined relation to the existing
phenomenon OF tides.

THE FACTS OF EARTH.

Whenever body rotates the motion gives
rise TO what is commonly known AS centrifugal
force Centrum, center; fugere, TO fee FROM.
This is illustrated by the boy who, swinging a
stone at the end of string. suddenly looses il;
or who swings pail Of water over his head
while his uninitiated comrades look on won
deringiy and admrinRly. This boy has learned
that the faster he wbiTls the stone the faster il
goes; and, Also by humid experience perhaps.
that IL he swings the pail slowly enough, the
water Will run out In fact. he has demon
strated that the faster body rotates, the
greater the centrifugal force.
An axis is the line about which body does
or might rotate. Ii follows. then, from this
definition and the law OF centrifugal force, that
when spherical body roiates the tendency Of
every particle of matter is to depart from this
axis and accumulate in the regions fsrthegt

called fattening at the poles which simply
