dred miles 10 meet the immense crowd
which gathered from the country to
meet him at this place. The days dem
os.strations eliminated in Erie. where
the meeting OF $50 delegates OF the Dem
ocratic societies of Pennsylvania made
the presence Of the candidate par
iicularly opportune. Here Mr.. Bryan
made te.ee stirring speeches TO as many
different audiences in the evening, being
driven quickly from one hall 10 another.
The first meeting was at Manner Choir
hall, which held 2500 persons, TO whom
Mr.. Bryan appealed to study the issue OF
the campaign and vote their convictions.
His second appearance was on the stage
OF the Auditorium, Tvhere he faced an
audience OF equal size, and the second
speech was like the first, brief. but stir
ring. Outside of the Erie Opera House
thousands more had waited for
glimpse of the candidate, and inside
were assembled the delegates to the
meeting OF Democratic societies. When
the people were admitted they filled the
house in Is minutes, and the doors were
closed upon hundreds. The entrance Of
the presidential candidate on the arm of
ex-Congressman Joseph G.. Sibley in
spired wild scene OF enthusiasm which
lasted several minutes, and Mrs. Bryan's
appearance in box with Mrs. Sibley
produced more enthusiasm.

A PULLING SUBJECT.


Speed OF Trains Affected by the RevO-
luton of the Earth.
1t is as far from Buffalo to New York as
it is from New York to Buffalo, yet If we
are to believe tho reasoning of Mr.. Alex
ander Hogg. a correspondent Of The Rail-
way Gazette, the railway run can be made
more easily in the former direction because
the speed of tho eastward moving train
being added TO that Of tho rotating earth
the reduction Of weight due to centrifugal
force is greater. We quote such portions
Of Mr.. Hogg's letter as do not involve
difficult mathematics:
In 1891 the New York Central and
Hudson River railroad Fan a train 1867
miles in 425 minutes and AZ seconds, or
an average Of 61% miles per hour. Tho
weight Of the train was ago, 900 pounds.
The Same company on Sept. IL, 1895,
mado the remarkable run of tho same 4361z
miles in 1878 minutes. This was an
average of 64.26 miles per hour.
The New York Central, in starting
both times from New York city, unnecas-
sarily retarded its own speed. From Al
bany to Buffalo, duo west, the train en-
countered not only tho prevailing west
wind, but the force of tho earth's reyolu-
ton eastward
"Owing to tho diurnal rotation Of the
earth, bodies at the equator press toward |
the earth with two hundred and eighty |
eight-two hundred and cighty-ninths Of |
tho pressure they would were the earth |
deprived Of its rotation. If, therefore, the /
rotation of the earth could DO accelerated /
until it took only one-soyenteenth Of the 1
present sidereal day to mako complete /
turn or revolution, the centrifugal tend 1
ency would be increased (17) twofold- /
that is, it would be $50 times as great as
now, and bodies at tho equator would have
no pressure downward, CT, as we say
would weigh nothing. This ratio of reyo-
luton would net be sufficient to deprive
bodies anywhere else of their entire weight
Now let us apply this to railroad
trims. A train running cast, at the equa-
tor, would DO lightoned as compared with
Tho weight ona still earth. If running duo

We never seem to realize that a large
proportion of the inhabitants of this cOun-
try are practically vegetarians at the pres
emit moment. IL Is true that they arc COM
pulsorily So, but the fact remains. How
much meat can an agricultural laborer's
family have out of wage of Is shillings
weekf If a small quantity Of salt pork
be occasionally eaten, It is Of value chiefly
as respiratory food. Yet our laborors, who
have subsisted on this dict for generations,
are strong. In other European countries
the peasantry are still moro evidently veg
etarian for all practical purposes. Even
in Russia, according to Prince Krapotkin,
the peasant gets only corn, and not enough
of that sometimes. Yet the Russian peas

is the same If we glance at non European
races
The hardy Arab or Sudanese is satisfied
with his dates, the Zulu with "mealies,"
the HindoO with grains and pulse. Tho
Japanese have a similar diet, varied occa-
sionally with fish, Stanley says Of the
Waganda: with tho banana plant he is
happy, fat and thriving. without It he is
famished, disconsolate, wOebegone

scribed as "a very intelligent, fine race,
while both men and women attain great |

eat meat" These instances, which might |
be multiplied, are quoted to show that |
is the ordinary practice Of |
numerous races which are not among the
lowest, and which show no sign of race
In face of these facts the
mere random assertion sometimes Inado
that vegetaFians are subject to "poorness

worth. Errors both CT diet and hygiene

We believe that the same impulse which
