What keeps a top from failing while 1t
- spinning?
The spinning or rotation. The attrac-
ton OF grayitation Is overcome Temporal
rily by the centrifugal force produced
wnen the top is spun. Each part OF the
top is subject TO the same centrifugal
force as each other part at the same as
lance from the axis of rotation and TO
no greater force; so there IS nothing 10
pull the TOP in any particular direction.
As soon as the centrifugal force begins
10 lessen. the attraction Of gravitation
begins 10 be exerted again. and the top
begins TO ''warble." When the attrac-
ton Of gravitaiion IS more powerful than
the centrifugal force, the top falls TO one
side.

Why?
Why is the Court Of England called the
Court OF St. James?
Because its headquarters is the Palace
Of st. James. built on the site Of an an
cicnt hospital under the protection OF
st. James. There are other Instances
where royal courts are called after the
place where their headquarters are 10
Gated. Thus under Napoleon Ill, the
French court was the Court OF the Tuil-
cries. because Il dwelt officially in the
Palace OF the Tuilieres; the Italian court
is still the Court Of the Quirinal. as II IS
held I'm the Quirinal palace. the Pala
court IS the Court Of the Vatican; the
Turkish court is the Sublime Porte. be-
cause its headquarters is in the palace OF
the Lofty Gate. Except I'm the case OF
England. the government goes ny INC
same name as the court; hat is, by the
Qulrinal' is meant the Italian Govern
ment: by the Vatican the Papal Gov
eminent. by "the sublime Porte the
Turkish Government.

When the Indians give up their tribal re-
lationships. they get 100 acres each, but
oniy when they do so. 3. The slave trade

airy ], lS0S. During the ls9 years Of its
