The Friendly Apple.
From the lEtna Monthly

From the Etna Monthly.
The apple is friendly fruit. There is
no other so closely allied to our everyday
life, or so delightfully."- interviewer with the
history of the Race.
Men of science tell us that the Order of
Rosacee, which claims the apple as its
crowning glory, appeared on our earth just
before the birth of Man, so that when
Adam and Eve set up housekeeping in the
Garden of Eden they found it waiting for
them
No wonder poor Eve was charmed with
its glowing beauty, and could well believe
that because it was so pleasant TO the eye
it would be also pleasant to the taste, and
that the Tempter might be trusted when
he said, "Thou shalt not surely die. .
Thus early in the history of the Race be-
gan the everlasting strife between "Thou
Shalt and Thou Shalt Not. =
Well may we call it the friendly APP
pie" What other fruit so faithful to us
through all the passing year? Beginning
with spring days and fairy blossoms, through
the short life of the Early Harvest, on to
the fragrant Rambo, the Golden Bellfower
and Pippin, and spicy Baldwin, the richer
varieties of early winter, Ben Davis, and
Winesap, and Northern Spy, and Timber
Twig, while last of all, most faithful and
admired, the ruddy Romantic and dusky
Russet, to tide us over until apples come
again.

s'Hemp'' we read how the Kentuckians
wandered into new territories, carrying their
hemp seed with them, and soon made of
young Missouri the second hemp producing
state in the Union But with the Civil
War began the long decline, lasting until
today. The record stands that throughout
the more than one hundred and twenty five
years from the entrance of the Anglo-Saxon
farmers into the wilderness, few counties
of Kentucky and Missouri have furnished
army and navy of the entire country with
all but small part of the entire hemp con-
sumed Little, comparatively, is produced
there now.
THE traveller may still see it, here and
there. crowning those ever-renewing, self
renewing. inexhaustible fields. - Could
David once more walk, bouyant and strong,
over the earth that was SO kind to him, he
would find those rich Missouri hemp-lands
covered with apple orchards. For it was
found that the land on which the dark
green plant was once so luxurious was ex-
actly suited to the taste of the poor mans
fruit, the homely, friendly apple. Over
the hills and plains where our grandfathers
raised hemp, for making the ropes and sails
that fitted out warlike navy, are scattered
the vines and fruit trees of their happier
descendants.
This land that once received its baptism
of blood now smiles beneath the wings of
peace, and the hemp, symbol of conflict,
has given place to the apple, friend of all
mankind.
Around the apple clusters many fable
and tradition Every schoolboy knows the
story of Eris, who, simply because she was
not invited to wedding feast, came in and
threw down an apple marked ''To the
Fairest," over which Juno. and Venus and
Minerva quarreled, and SO caused the Tro-
jan war with all its terrible consequences.

In regard to the course of r. Victor's
bird in its flight. through the two oppo-
site windows OF car going at high
speed, / hold that he is in error Now,
if the bird was flying at the speed OF
forty miles an hour at right angles with
car going at the rate Of sixty miles an
hour and should enleavor to pass
through the two hindmost open win
dows of the car, what would actually
take place would be collision between
the bird and the rear end of said car,
for the reason that the speed Of the car
could not be communicated to the bird
until it came in contact with it. Gran
ted that everything in the car partakes
of its motion, and for the simple reason
that the car and all in it start stimuli Ia
neously This can be verified by any
one standing on stationary platform
car and stepping from it TO n car (of the
same kind) in motion-in that case mo-
tion is given TO the feet before it can be
communicated TO the head, hence with
out great caution one will fall backward
on his head. The reverse takes place
in stepping from moving car, then the
feet become more or less stationary and
the fall will be forward.
In regard to looping the loop" the
performer becomes virtually projec-
tile impelled by gravity which acts con-
tinuously, adding more speed to that
already attained until it reaches the
loop" then centrifugal force, which is
a property OF bodies when moving very
fast to fly off in straight lines, has be-
come so great as to overcome gravity,
by which means the ieat is accom-
plished. Incidentally it may be added
that the nice adjustment Of centrifugal
force and gravity keeps our planetary
system in working order in their several
orbits around the sun. The only diff
Guilty in the way are the comets who
seem TO have such indulgent orbits that
they can invade odd Soils" domain at
will and depart without as much as say
inh "by your leave SIR" all OF which
shows that there are more strange
things in Heaven and earth than our
philosophy knows of. KoN.
