THE CURVED BALL..
It IL the Atmosphere which Causes

1t IL the Atmosphere Which Cauael
Its Eccentric Shoots.
Most any ~ten-year-old youngster car
curve a ball, even though he does no,
know why he a do so except thai
the leather must be held in a certain
way. Possibly a half dozen of the
major league twirlcrs know something
about the science of the curve. but
comparatively few understand why
they a produce their blenders" The
Scientific American gives Tie follow.
ing as the scientific explanation of the
matter:
The pitcher in the field tells us that
the ball urve because he gives it a
twist, but scientifically this will not do.
Why will the twist make the curve:
If a ball were thrown in a certain di-
rection and If the force Of gravitation
were not at work the ball would con-
tinue on in a straight line forever.
Some force Of resistance is then at
work when a ball is made to deviate in
a curve from it's straight course. If q
feather is dropped in Il aLu,n in ali
exhausted receiver of an air pump it
will drop like a shot, but if it is drop
ped out in the air it will go down IT.
regularly and slowly. shifting from
side to side.
cit is the atmosphere which causes
the ball to curve. Bearing in mind
that the atmosphere is a compressible,
elastic gas, we find that when the ball
leaves the hand of the pitcher with Il
rapid rotary motion. it 'impinges upon
a continuous elastic cushion and
this moderate resistance, or friction,
changes it's course in the direction
which is given to the rotary motion.
Take an outshoot Of a right handed
pitcher. for instance. He impresses
upon the ball a rapid centrifugal ro-
tary motion to the left. and the ball
goes to the left because the atmosphere,
compressible and elastic, is packed into
ar elastic cushion just ahead Of the
bull by the swift forward and rotary
motion, and the friction. which is very
great in front of the ball. steers it in
the direction which it is turning"

A MEETING.
Held In the Interest of "Woman's
Rights" In

Held In the Interest Of "WOman'a
Rights" In 1901.
The first recorded public meeting in
the interest of 'woman's rights" was
held in the town of Medford, Mass, in
1901. The gallery Of the church was
occupied by the young unmarried peo-
pie of the congregation, one side and
II half the front gallery being given
to the young men, the other side and
the other half being given to the young
women. But in the seating in this
eventful year the young men were CIV
en- the entire front Of the gallery as
well, and the young women We're only
allowed one side of the gallery.
Then it was that things began to
happen. Treatment like this wasn't to
be tolerated even for a moment. The
blood of the future mothers of the
Revolution was fully aroused. and the
young women made such an uproar
and commotion that it speedily became
a town matter, and a town meeting
was called to restore to them their
rights in half Of the front gallery.
The young men Of the day were bit
terly opposed to extending any new
privileges to women. and the fight ex-
tended beyond Medford. Shortly after
the introduction Of ''pues" into. the
churches. by which families were sep
arated from the remainder Of the con-
gregation. the selectmen Of the town
Of Newbury gave permission to a group
Of young women to build a 'pue" ip
the gallery of the church upon their
own side Of the house. This extension
OF. privilege was resented by the young
bachelors to such a degree that they
broke a window Of the church. forced
an entrance and hacked the pew in
pieces. For this act Of sacrilege the
young men of Newbury We're fined $40
each and sentenced to be whipped or
pilloried. But they were manly enough
to confess their folly and ask pardon.
so this part of their punishment vas
omitted. So you see the ''woman's
rights movement isn't a modern one

The majority of the boys who had car

meeting held yesterday they decided
to compel the four boys to carry a
chair too. Last night a crowd lined up
in front of the rear entrance to the
hall about supper time and captured
these boys as they came over. After
arguing with them for some time to
get them to carry over a chair and
meeting with refusal they rushed them
over to the grandstand and lashed a

Insurance.

The barn of Lewis Muller residing
near Helix was destroyed by fire late
Wednesday night. The total loss is
over $4,000 and insurance amounted to
less than $1,000.

of a lantern that was being used by
one Of the employees of the place. The
flames spread rapidly in the dry hay
and all efforts to extinguish the fire
proved impossible. The flames leaped
in long tongues from the high roof in
a short time and the spectacle was
beautiful in the darkness, though dis
couraging to the owner Of the proper
