VELOCITY OF FALLING.

I'm a Vacuum All Fall Alike Not So
in the Atmosphere.
The old-time query as to which OF
the two, pound of lead or a pound OF
feathers, dropped from the same height
at the same time, would first reach the
ground, seems ever new. Some one
propounded it to the wise man of the
Scientific American last week, using
instead Of lead and feathers an ounce
and a tone Of iron. And this Is how
the wise man responded:
"This matter was put to the test OF
experiment by Calico at the Leaning
Tower of Pisa in the seventeenth cen
fury, with two balls Of lead, weighing
one and ten pounds respectively. The
followers of Aristotle had taught for
centuries that the balls would fall in
proportion to their weights, the heav-
Ter one falling the faster. Calico point
ed out the fact that the lighter one
would reach the ground first because
the air would resist the fall Of the
larger one more than it would that of
: the smaller. He had previously dem
onstrated the law of falling bodies that
the velocity under the action Of gray
fty Is Independent of the mass Of the
body. Experiment confirmed his posi-
ton. The small ball reached the earth
first. In a vacuum all bodies fall with
the same velocity through any distance.
AS a practical statement, 1t may be
taken as true that small dense bodies
will conform to the theoretical laws,
falling any distance less than 200 feet,
in the atmosphere. But with an ounce
and ton there would be a perceptible
difference. The ounce ball would fall
the faster. Facts like this are now
adays demonstrated by even elemen-
tary students in almost every class in
physics in the country"

Exclusiveness OF De Reszke.

Jean de Reszke is the only one Of the
grand opera singers whom 1t is i'm
possible to hire for private musicals.
He will sing an entire evening at the
house Of a fellow artist, but becomes
positively angry when singing In pri-
vate houses for money is suggested.
He once visited the house Of the Roths-
childs in Paris, and delighted his host
by singing number of songs. The
baron, who had tried to get him to sing
at private entertainments q number of
times, but never succeeded, now re-
solved to reward the singer in what he
considered the proper way. At the
close OF the evening he presented De
Reszke with blank check, signed. ask

wished. De Reszke took the check and
as he tore it to pieces said:

Like a good many other men, Grant
Allen, who died recently, had to do
much uncongenial work In order that
he might live. If he had been possessed
Of independent means it Is practically
certain that he never would have writ
ten line Of fiction. His temperament
and his literary bent were scientific.
Yet he found that scientific books yield
ed but small returns, while novels
found ready sale. Hence he wrote
novels-and good ones-as pot-boilers,
and put his heart into his biological
treatises. And, after all, his serious
work will outliye his fiction. OF all the
Darwinians he has presented the doc
trine of evolution in guise most at
tractive to the general reader. '"The
Evolutionist at Large" will be read
when '"The Woman Who Did" is for
gotten. The one represented his best
thought; the other was the creature of

Recently the New York Evening P

Recently the New York Evening Post
advocated the formation Of a bible
trust" to stop the loss to publishers In
that demoralized department Of the
book trade. The Publishers Weekly
SCOTS at the idea, and then goes on to
tell why the prospects for book trust
of any kind are uninviting. The AFFECT
failure Of John Lovell's scheme and the
thorny path Of the school book trust
have proved to the most ambitious pro-
moters that any attempt to organize
the whole publishing business would be
folly. The school book trust controls
the text books Of less than ten houses.
The houses are important ones, and
their output constitutes the bulk of the
educational trade, but the trust Is now
rivaled by two great competitors, while
no less than TO hostile firms keep up
a never ending war against 1t. II this
is all the success that can be obtained
by trust confined to one snug corner
Of the publishing business, it is appar-
emit that an attempt to consolidate the
general publishers must be a task be-
fore which even the nerve Of the pro-
fessional trust promoter has need to
quail. AS long as writer's continue to
increase and as long as printing ma
terials are as cheap as they are now,
the chances Of a publishers trust will
be both dim and remote. The fact Is
one on which the reading public is to be
congratulated, though it must be ad-
mitted that trust to control and limit
the output might not be an unmixed
evil at time when most of the books
are not worth the pulp they are made

The Philadelphia Medical Journal
tells of the failure of an attempt made
by several physicians in a certain city
to secure an agreement to instruct the
newspapers to omit mention Of their
names except by special permission in
writing over signatures. Twenty-nins
physicians were asked to sign and Of
these ten refused. while of those who
signed many privately told their jour-
nalistic friends to ignore the request
so far as they were concerned. The
Medical Journal bewails the failure Of
the plan. Yet what else could be ex-
pected? Every one knows that while
avowedly physicians are opposed to any
kind Of advertising, yet few fail to take
advantage Of opportunities for keeping
their names before the public. 1t Is
certain, for instance. that the bulletins
that are sent out giving the daily con-
dition of a great mans health and
signed by the physicians advertise
their eminence in the profession. Ply
sicians who have by slow and conscien-
tious work built up as great practice
as they can attend to may refuse such
opportunities. But the absence Of any
way to advertise balks many a young
man, who may be in every way quail
fed, from letting the people know Of
his existence. Hanging out his shin
gle does not do it. If only the en-
prizes advertise, it must be admitted
that they gain success by 1t, and the
profession should realize that the press
is too great lever to be left entirely
in the hands Of those who are often
not deserving Of success.
