"There'll be lot of fddlin' an talk
in an reolutin' an investigatin', and
bluffin' an making faces, an playing
buncombe an firin' the popular heart.
but when we get through we'll find we
have not done PLANNED thing but
pass the appropriation bills. An the
quicker we do that an go home the
better 1t will be for the Republican
party"
Mr.. Cannon Is q representative man in
his party's ranks. and Is entitled to be
heard, but is must be admitted that his
confession was unlocked for The Sa-

Iaausaes OF the Earths Motion on tn
Direction OF HIBda,

Inaneaee Of the EaFth's Motion on the
DIreetiou OF Winds.
Suppose a railroad train at first sta
tionary. says the chautauquan. A
traveller fires shot toward some ex-
terror object; II will require, say, two
seconds for the bali 10 reach the object.
Imagine next the train moving at the
rate OF thirty feet second. The trav-
eler aims at the object the instant he is
opposite II; but the ball, in addition TO
the fmpulsion which he has commune
Gated to 1t, preserves the general move
ment OF the train, which in two seconds
makes IL travel laterally sixty feet II
will strike then ut some distance be-
yond the object.
The rotation of the earth produces
an effect OF the same kind upon move
ments which occur on It's surface. All
the points of the globe turn together
from the west to the east in twenty
four hours, but they all have in reality
different rates of velocity according to
the position which they occupy. At the
poles the velocity is nothing; 1t in
creases regularly TO the equator, where
II reaches the enormous rate of t,52O
feet second.
Let us take for consideration two
places in our country tFrancet-Paris
and Dunkirk. While the Partisan, af-
fcctcd by the movement OF the earth,
passes through about 1000 feet. the in
habitant Of Dunkirls travels only about
963 feet.
Let us imagine now at Paris wind
from the south that is blowing towards
Dunkirlt. which is almost directly north
from Paris. As Paris moves from west
to east at the rate Of thirty-seven feet
second faster than does Dunlsirlt, the
wind from the south at Paris will be
like the ball fred from the moving
train; it will be deviatcd towards the
east, that Is, towards its right. From
being south wind, which it was at
Paris, it will become southwest wind
and 1t will reach Liege or Cologne in
stead of Dunkirt. which IT would have
reached had the earth been motionless.
Thus all winds are turned from their
first direction. and in the northern
hemisphere this deviation is always to-
ward the right, while in the southern
hemisphere it is toward the left

An Austrian clerical paper gives an
interesting account of man who,
though once in the foreground of the
most brilliant court in Europe and still
living. has entirely disappeared from
public notice. The writer saw him at
NJ. de Lesseps' funeral-a pale, wizened
little man with snow-white hair and
beard. This man is BERNARD Bauer,
for long time bishop, father confess
sor to Empress Eugene and famous
preacher. He pronounced the blessing
on the Suez canal. lie is by birth II

part in the Vienna revolution, was pub
licly embraced for his bravery by Hos

allowed Father Augustine, who was no
other than the celebrated pianist. Her
man Cohen. to convert him to Catholic
ism.
As Father Maria Bernard he delivered
his famous sermons in Paris, which the
empress attended. lie was then par
ticularly handsome, his pale face
framed by dark beard, his blue eyes
full of expression. What was admired
more than all else was the use he made
of his delicate, beautifully-formed
hands.
The women ravcd Of him. and he soon
addressed ali his sermons 10 them alone.
The empress named him her confeSsor.
and toplease her he was made IA bishop.
He became SO much the fashion that

the confessional. When the republic
succeeded the empire he gave up his
priesthood and has since quietly en-
joyed life.
