THE WATER BOAT AFLoAr.

en- boat of more shipshape model, with
the water tube projecting over the
stern, but unless the vessel is very
broad OF beam It will capsize.
In fact, the boat is made not to go
fast, but to illustrate principle by
going at all, and another example of
the same principle is given by the wa
ter mill now to be described.
The mill is made of the same limp
chimney Or another, with corks or plugs
10 both ends. Instead OF one water
tube 1t has two, three, four OF more,
going out like the spokes OF wheel
and bent at the end, all in the same di.
rection, The chimney is set upright
between two pivots. which press
against tho upper and lower plugs. and
Is tilled with water through hole in
the upper plug, which also serves to
admit air when the mill is turning.
The only use Of the top plug, in fact,
is to give point of support, and the
vessel must be open to the air ut the
top. As the water flows out through
the little tubes the mill turns in the
opposite direction, and IL there is not
too much friction at the piyots 1T will
soon be spinning rapidly. The water
boat and the water mill are examples
of what are called reaction machines.
The principle they illustrate is that,
generally speaking. you cannot meve
anything without moving something
else In the opposite direction. In, both
of these cases as the water is forced
out in the direction OF the water tube
the boat or the part of the mill from
which 1t flows is driven in the opposite
direction. The recoil or "kick' of a
gun is another Illustration. At the in
slant of firing the gun moves back
ward, If 1t can, but IL you are holding
1t against your shoulder you feel the
reaction as kick" and IL the gun is
heavily loaded you may move back
ward with great promptness.
A vessel might be propelled by firing
heavy cannon from the stern.

lied in all their fitness. AS a day ~
good cheer there has not, within OFT
recollection, been one more successful.
Happiness possessed the bosom Of ey-
cry human being, If beaming coun-
tenance is an index. Several OF the
churches had appropriate, enjoyable
services, conspicuous features Of which
were the attentions, kindnesses and
remembrances TO the children. To
them it was a happy realization of
their fond hopes OF year. Theirs was
!, Joyous season at these entertain
ments, but that was not all. Every
home had q place for the children and
theirs was goodly portion OF the good
cheer which pervaded every household
Gladness reigned supreme In the
hearts of all civilized human beings, .
gladness whose source was love, not
only for those closest to them by the
ties of nature, but for all mankind. II
was season when the human breast
discarded all It's jealousies and hatreds
and opened wide for the entrance Of
goodwill Ito all mankind. Truly was
it period of "Peace on Earth and
Good VIII to Man" Our quletude
was almost perfect, especially SO in
this immediate neighborhood, almost
a perfect peace. No tragedies were
enacted to mar-our peaceful pleasure,
no crimes committed to disturb our
happiness, no pestilence to sadden our
hearts, nothing to divert our minds
from proper celebration OF the day.
and nothing to destroy the spirit Of
common brotherhood. 1t was, indeed,
an event worthy OF cherished memory.

Return of a Great Pro-
duction.

q a pastoral, natural drama, favored
with the breezy local color of Tennes-
see life. Describes "a Romance Of
Coon Hollow" which has been one Of
the substantial trIumphs of the last
eight seasons. This success is due to
the magnificent scenic effects, among
which are realistic steamboat race
between R. E. Lee and Natchez, and a
cotton press in actual operation. But
the. play meets favor on worthier
grounds. 1t is splendidly constructed,
the characters are flesh and blood be-
ing the plot is, dramatic and interest
ing, and the humor genuinely funny.
The. electrical effects, showing night
in southern country place, are novel
and prutty. A "red hot" troupe of
darkey male and female plantation
dancers, aud an excellent vocal quar-
tette, add volume to the entertain
ment. "Coon Hollow" will be seen at
Grand Opera House. one night, Tues
day, December 30.

Two Marble Trick.

Place an ordinary marble In the
palm of your. left hand. Cross the first
and middle fingers of the right hand
(the middle over the first, SO that you
can feel the marble in the cross so
made-that is, with the right hand
side of the middle finger and the left
hand side of the first finger touching
the marble at the same time. Do not
look at the marble while doing the
trick. You win be astonished when
you distinctly feel not one but two
marbles. Practice a little while, and
you can have lots OF fun among your
friends and with some OF the older
ones too.

Gypsy Jack. Jan. %.

Despite the apparent sway OF farce
comedy and .tshow girl" performances,
the old-fashioned .melodrama still
claims its devoted adherents. That
this is SO. without doubt, is practi-
.cally proven by the unstinted success
which has greeted Willis Granger DUR
ing his present tour with Gypsy
ia, X" Not only is Manager Edward
G. White mighty pleased with the re-
ception which has greeted his new
star, but the latter has, by his intrin-
sic worth as melo-dramatic actor,
proven his fitness for tie role of the
gypsy boy, which is the leading char
acter in the. production.
Miss Katherine Willard Is adding
new laqrels to her reputation by her
rendition OF :Aria" in the emotional
drama, .The Power Behind the
Throne."s Miss Willard has proved
her ability and exceptional talents in
the production, so much SO that her
tour is one continuous ovation. Moth
ing is lacking in scenic effect, stage
mechanism or costuming to keep
"The Power Behind the Throne" up
to the topmnst standard, while the
stars support "play up to her" With
admirable skill.

The release from jail of Ernes,
Kniseley, who killed john Wheeler, il
causing considerable unfavorable com
ment and a great deal of indignation
among Wheeler's friends and thost
who are familiar with the characterof
the victim. Connected with the re
lease of knfseley on bond were persons
who would be up in arms II it had beer
colored man instead of Kniseley, b1l
c "cumstances alter cases and their Oh
Is not gored. The details of the kill
ing, as far as learned, are narrowing
and 1t is asserted by some of the best
citizens of Johntown and surrounding,
country that it was one OF the mos,
atiocious ever committed In the his
tory of Harrison county. Wheeler.
friends are more than indignant. The,
are determined to bring Kniseley t..
justice and to push the case to the
bitter end. They will resist every at
tempt to let the guilty escape the fate
he invoked upon himself by his horri-
Bile deed. San eye for an eye and a
tooth for tooth, F." is their declaration
In the fair name of justice and the
good OF the county it is not right tina
one who commits such deed should
be given other consideration than that
It's character deserves. The public at
large should not suffer influences to
bear on the case, through any peculiar
sentiment or personal interest of any
one. 1t was deed which does not en-
title the perpetrator tosuch kind con-
sideration as has been given. The
painstaking effor obt;i ling his lib
erty are not creditable to the county.
In the eyes of the law he stands like all
criminals. It is not fitting that mer-
cy should be shown, until it is dis
closed, even proven, that there were
extenuating circumstances. 1t was
an outrage upon Justice that Kniseley
should have been allowed to 90 free
for days after he had committed the
deed. That one whose act would re
suit in the death OF a fellow man
should have been unmolested and al.
lowed his liberty SO long is anevidence
that the administration of the laws are
lax with some people, when deeper
Interest than that of doing their duty
is at stake. Why did not the officers
Of Elk district act in the case and at
once? Why was Knisely given the
opportunity to flee? These are perth
nent questions and in behalf of the
welfare of the people of this county
we ask that they be squarely answer
ed. Again, we demand for the people
that the perpetrator of that awful
crime be brought to justice.
