THE CURVED BALL.
1t Is the Atmosphere Which Cauaea

1t Is tho Atmosphere Which Causes
It's Eccentric Shoots.
Most any ten-year-old youngster can
curve ball, even though he does not
know why he can do so except THAI
the leather must be held in certain
way. Possibly a half dozen Of the
major league twirIers know something
about the science of the Curve, but
comparatively few understand why
they can produce their "benders.'' The
Scientific American gives the follow.
ing as the scientific explanation Of the
matter:
'The pitcher in the field tells US that
the ball curves because be gives it a
twist, but scientifically this will not do.
Why will the twist make the curve?
If a ball were thrown in certain dl-
rection and if the force Of gravitatioT
were not ut work the ball would con-
tinue on in a straight line forever.
Some force Of resistance is then at
work when ball is made to deviate in
q curve from its straight course. 1t
feather is dropped IL vacuum in an
exhausted receiver o. an air pump Il
will drop like shot. but if it is drop
ped out in the ar it will go down IL
regularly and slowly, shifting from
side to side.
''It is the atmosphere. which causes
the ball to curve. Bearing in mind
that the atmosphere is compressible,
elastic gas, we find that when the ball
leaves the hand Of the pitcher with
rapid rotary motion it 'impinges Upon
q continuous elastic cushion and
this moderate resistance, or friction,
changes its 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 bali
goes to the left because the atmosphere,
compressible and elastic, is packed into
an elastic cushion just ahead Of the
ball 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"

WHAT TIE SIAMESE EAT.
Rice and Putrld Fish Highly Season.
ed Their Main Food.

Rice and Putrld Fish Highly Season.
ed Their Main Food.
Sianese food principally consists Of
dried, frequently rotted, fish and rice
done into curries which comprise lit
tie Of about every kind of condiment
and especially Il very popular sauce
called namphrik, d chutney-like and
thoroughly mixed thing made Of red
pepper shrimp, garlic, onions, cltron,
ginger and tamarind seeds. The only
reason for the fish being putrid is be-
cause the natives like it SO, for fish are
plentiful in their rivers and fishermen
numerous, though their ways Of catch
ing are rather amusing and antique.
One fayorite method, borrowed from
the Chinese, is beating the waters with
long bamboo sticks to frighten the fish
into all eight or ten foot squarish net
which is lowered into the river from a
framework on the bank by system Of
wheels and ropes and pulleys and
hoisted up again when the catch is
complete. I must confess that when
the fish in the curry CHANGED to be
dried instead of decayed found the
concoction decidedly toothsome. In
fact, a really good curry is in class
apart, and one must so to India or the
Ear east to get it at its best. Some
times the natives eat pork and often
times chicken, but for the most part
rice and the fish curry constitute their
chief diet, supplemented by the fruit Of
the country, of which there are many
kinds-mangosteen, mango, pineapple,
banana, orange, breadfruit and that
most beautiful and serving Of all ST.
amese fruits, the papaya, which grows
back from the water and is greenlSh
oval melon that suggests cantaloupe
when opened.-Outing.

A NOTABLE MEETING.
Held In the Interest of FWoman'a
Rights: In l701s

Rights: In 1701.
The first recorded public meeting In
the interest Of "wGman's rights was
held In the town Of Medford, Mass, IN
1701. The gallery Of the church was
occupied by the young unmarried peo-
pie Of the congregation, one side and
one 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
erentful year the young men were CIV
en- the entire front Of the gallery as
well, and the young women were 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 ez-
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 group
Of young women to build ''pue" In
the gallery of the church upon their
own side Of the house. This extension
CT 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 were fined $40
each and sentenced to be whipped OF
pilloried. But they were manly enough
to confess their folly and ask pardon,
so this part Of their punishment was
omitted. So you see the "woman's
rights" movement isn't modern one:
