"W. NJ. j." residing at Richmond,
Mo-, sends the following peculinr query
to the editcr Of the st. Louis Repnblic,
and asks fer an nnewer to tt:2 adl
"If 1t were possible to drill 70 hole Of
q foot or moro in diameter entirely
through tho earth and thcn to start
ball weighing ono hundred pounds or
moro to falling through the satne at
what point would 1t stop?'
Answer: Weight, in the sense that
'W. ]. NJ" refors to it, is the measure
Of attraction of grayitation; or, in
other words, 1t Is the measure of force
with which body is attracted by the
earth This attractive, force decreases
both ways from the surface OF the
earth, both outward into space or
downward toward the globes supposed
molten center. In partial explanation
OF this assertion will say that any
given size bulk Of iron, or, any other
mineral or material whatever, will
weigh less on the top of high noun
tain than 1t will at seq level In order
to be exact in this matter i win cay
that a mass Of one thousand pounds
weight will lose exactly two pounds
between tidcwatcr and the top, Of q
mountain four miles high. This, It Is
plain to be seen, Is because the force
Of the earth's attraction is much less
on the mountain top than It Is at the
sea level. ~ E.aa Bl.i Elf.s c1a
Therefore, IL a ball be started on the
journey outlined In the query sent In
by our Richmond friend, Its weight
would decrease to certain extent with
every yard of its flight Tor falD, hntil,
finally, upon reaching the center Of the
earth, 1t would have no appreoiable
weight, the attraction at that point
acting equally In every direction. This
being true. it is plain that the phe-
nomcnon Of what we know as weight"
would be entirely wanting, and the
ball would be held in suspension as
though immovably transflxed by num-
erons magnetic or invisible points.

PLENTY OF ORATORS.
Numerous Populists VIII Stump for
Silver

Numerous Popuiists VIII Stump 70,
Silver.
ST. LOUIS. July 27.--Among the
| speakers who will take the stump for
| the populist ticket will be Senator
Butler and exChairmau Taubeneck,
E. V. Debs, Robert Schilling, of Mil
waukee; Senator Allen, of Nebraska;
Senator PETER; Mrs. Roberts, of Geor-
gia, and many others, including Coxey
and Carl Brown.
Mr.. Debs is a strong supporter of
the initiative and referendum. The
currency will be the pivot around
which the majority OF the speeches
will revolve, and the women that will
be sent out will make that their especial
point of attack.
Mrs. Roberts made speech in the
convention seconding the nomination
of Bryan, and, in the fiye minutes that
she was before the convention, won
for herself the reputation of being one
of the most forcible and logical speak
ers that has ever addressed populist
gathering.
"Cyclone" Davis was discussing the
outcome of the convention with party
of friends in the Lindell corridors yes
terday. He said:
"There were thousand men in that
convention who differed with me, and
there could have been but one result
the selection OF Bryan. 1t was case Of
either making them believe they were
wrong and myself and my little band
of 250 were right, or give up. We had
to give up, of course. We were not all
statesmen, and the Thousand on the
other side were neither fools nor trail
tors. We concluded they were right"

sleeves they were, and finished at the
