Dropping . Ball Through the Earth.


&c. H." Of East st. Louis asks the
following curious question, "H II were
possible to bore hole foot or more In
diameter entirely through the earth,
and to then start 100 pound ball to
falling th ,ough this 8. 900 miles Of hole,
at what point would it stop?" In an
swer to this we will say that weight,
In the sense to which our correspondent
alludes, is the measure Of attraction Of
gravitation, or, In other words, IL Is
the measure Of force with which body
is attracted TO the earth. This attractive
force decreases both ways from the
earth's surface. Therefore II ball
should be started ON the tour outlined
in your query its weight would decrease
TO q certain extent with every yard Of
its flight (or fall), until finally, upon
reaching che center Of the earth 1t
would have no weight whatever. This
curious state Of affairs would be brought
about by the gradual lessening by the
force Of attraction, or gravitation, until
the center Of the globe would have been
reached, at which point the ball would
be held in suspension, as though fixed
by numerous magnetic points. In other
words, nc the center Of the earth the
phenomenon Of weight is entirely want

An observing tourist who visits Rome

less surprised that there are very few
houses bearing the ominous number

bear those figures being marked lab

piled to the magistrate Of the district
to have the number of his shop changed
from No. 18 to No. lab. The magis-

Statistical tables yield curious in
formation to the careful student. For
instance. they show that over one-third
Of the women who kill themselves are
not yet 25 years of age. They show that
women take poison, where men shoot
themselves. and they show that the
poor, sick and the inhrm are not by
any kind Of reckoning in the majority.
A physician who makes a study Of at
tempted suicide said this:
'Get q girl past 25, and she'll go
through poverty, sickness and desertion
and misery enough to kill ten men.
The more people suffer the more they
cling 10 life I've seen IL IN hospitals.
II is not the patients with the incurable
diseases or the hopeless cripples who
beg to die, but the young, strong, vital
woman, who hates pain and doesn't I
want to suffer It, even for the chance
of getting we'll. II is a strange thing,
this getting Of girl past 25, but not
uncommon. Any physician with large
family practice will tell you Of dozen
cases in his own circle of knowledge.
Sometimes it is called pyromania. some
times kleptomania, sometimes catalep-
sy, sometimes hysteria, sometimes feign-
ing and sometimes tantrums-it's all
the same thing-nothing else to do. "
Another physician told Of q girl who
committed suicide and who left note
stating that her reason was that she
was tired Of doing the same things over
and over every day. The monotony OF
life had become unbearsble to her. -

to hold urine and scalding pain in passing

wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleas-

The Durbannah Bridge.

''Great-bodies move slowly" as now
Illustrated in the matter of new
South Morgantown bridge.
The building of the bridge is a
small job as compared with the work
of getting the Town Councils of the
two Corporations concerned to agree
how 1t shall be built. We hear now
that they have agreed, and again
that they have failed to agree. We
hope they will not end in agreeing to
disagree.
In the meantime winter Is coming
on with rapid strides and the begin
ningof the work is not apparent. The
fact seems to be that the approaches
to the bridge is greater matter than
the bridge itself. 1t will be more
expensive work to build and maintain
approaches long enough and high
enough on each side Of the creek
than to bridge the creek.
1t is conceded that there ought to be
provision for railroad crossing under
grade. 1t seems also to be agreed
that the bridge must be built on the
old site. But evidently the old site
is the most difficult and expensive of
any that could be selected and
would not be thought of IL it were
not the old site. A bridge could be
built at the end of Main street for
less money than the bridge and APP
breaches can be built and maintained
at the old site aud would be of more
benefit to the two Corporations, as
well as being out of the way of rail-
road crossing. Or it could start at
the end of Front street and run dag
onally to the old abutment on the
South side for less money than the
proposed plan.
Nevertheless If no other site is TO
be considered but the old one so let
ii be. Let us have the bridge. II it
Is to be done, when it is done, 1T were
well it were done quickly. We want
it done. The old bridge is a public
nuisance. 1t is dangerous nuisance
a menace to the health and lives of
the travelling public; an eye-sore to
the aesthetic population that must
use it. We want broad, double
track, substantial structure that
will accommodate the public and we
want it right away.
