There are some queer things about
the law. A postoffice safe was robbed
in California, Mo-, some time ago. In
such case the department pays S2OO
each for the conviction of the persons
engaged in the robbery. There were
five persons engaged in the affair, but
the authorities mad no clew to the men.
1t happened that the guilty persons
were in saloon some time afterward.
One of the crowd got into dispute
with a farmer, who killed him. 1t
turned out that the man killed was the
ringleader and had the bulk of the
booty on his person. His death re-
suited in proving the completely in the
robbery OF the four other men. The
men who captured the four have been
allowed $500. The farmer made appli-
cation for 5000, but the court has decid-
ed that he cannot get 1t, because the
head robber was neither arrested MOI
convicted. He was simply dead-and q
postofice robber has to be taken alive
to win reward.

The effect Of electricity on projectiles
while in flight has been illustrated by
some recent trials Of the Swiss army
rifle. During this trial strange de-
fiections Of the bullets were noticed
that could not be accounted for until
it was discovered that an electric line
paralleled the range. Experiments
were made by building a line OF four
steel cables the full length OF the
range, 7SO feet, and about 12o feet from
it. When these cables carried a heavy
current of electricity the lateral defiee-
ton for this distance was about 20 feet.
For a longer range the detection was
much increased; with artillery and a
range of 5000 feet, the detection from
the true line is claimed TO reach the
enormous amount Of IA degrees. IL II
not stated whether the deviation is TO-
ward or away from the electrical ca
bles.

HOW FAR A MAN TRAVELS.
by the Aid of the Earth's Rotation He
Covers Many Miles an Hour.

An ordinary walk OF an hour is equiv
alent to a journey OF 1000 miles. just
as a beginning. says the New York
Journal. The average person walks
three miles an hour. according to reck-
oning. but when 1t ls considered that
the world Is constantly turning on Its
axis II Is apparent where the 1000
miles comes in. This Is by no means
all. The earth makes journey around
the sun every year, and a long but
rapid trip Il Is. The distance Of our
planet from the sun Is put In round
numbers at 100000 miles, This Is
the radius OF the earth's orbit. half
the diameter OF the circle. as II Is called.
The whole diameter Is therefore 1885,
900 900 miles, and the circumference.
being the diameter multiplied by a.
416. is about $4,000. 600. This amaz-
ing distance the earth travels In It's
yearly journey. and. dividing II by 1855.
we find the daily speed about 1854 900
miles. Then. to get the distance you
rode around the sun by your hours
walk. divide again by "a. and the re-
suit Is about $1,000 miles This "a not
the end OF the hours trip. however.
The sun. with It's entire brood Of plan
cts, Is moving in space at the rate OF
100000 miles in year. That Is at
the rate OF little more than 454, 900
miles day, or $4,000 miles an hour.
So. adding the three miles Of the leg
travel to the hours axial movement Of
the earth. this to the earth's orbital
| journey, and this again to the earth's
excursion with the sun. and you find
you have travelled in the hour s. 800

STOPPING a TRAIN.
Important Discovery That Has just been
Made In Europe.


Made In Europe.
Some important discoveries have Just
been made In Europe, says the New
York Herald. How to stop a train
when an accident is impending has
long been a problem. Many plans
have been suggested, but almost all
have been considered faulty for the
reason that they call for quick stop
page. In such a case the shock would
be so great that the carriages between
the engine and the rear Of the train
would be smashed to atoms and their
occupants crushed TO death. Evidently
therefore gradual stoppage is lmper-
alive. An admirable plan, which en-
ables train to slow down gradually,
has recently been tested at the rail-
road station in Dresden. II is extreme
ly simple and has been found TO work
we'll. No iatricate machinery is re-
quired, and the cost must be small.
A track Is laid. the rails Of which sink
or slope gradually into a bed OF sand,
AS the train passes over this sand its
wheels meet with an ever increasing re-
sistance, which soon becomes 80 great
that they are Obliged to stop. The stop
page, however, is 80 gradual that there
is no rough shock. The greater the
swiftnees OF the train and the heavier
the load the more immediate is the
stoppage. No damage then is possible
either as regards the train or the pas
sengers. An experiment which was
recently tried with freight train
showed clearly the usefulness of this
very practical and eimple plan.
