News Of the I. P. A.

Though the rain and sleet are falling,
And the roads are awful muddy;
Though all men "hard-times' are
bawling,
And a fellows nose gets ruddy;
Though the rivers may be frozen,
And the frost may bite and nip;
They can never stop the advent of the
Drummer and his grip.
Though the trains may all be slowing
And the horses all go lame,
The Drummer, like the bed-bug,
Will get there just the same.
And when his work is over
He'll come smiling from his trip,
For he always makes connections,
Does the Drummer with his grip.
All, he teaches us a lesson
With his energy and grit,
Things that paralyze most people
Don't astonish him one bit.
And he's always bright and cheerful,
With a smile upon his lips:
He's daisy from way back
Is the Drummer with his grip.
So friends. give him a kind word al
ways:
He will return to you the same,
For the doins of some ..black Sheep"
Don't give the whole flock blame.
For down, way down to Hades.
Some, so-called. good men slip;
While on the road to Heaven
Trudges the Drummer with his grip.

The Power That Would Bs Required
to Move the Earth.


Statisticians sometimes have queer
ideas. One of them amused himself
by calculating how much energy, water
and coal 1T would take to move the
earth foot supposing that it was SUBJ
Jected throughout its mass to a forcc
equivalent to terrestrial gravitation.
This is a gratuitous superstition. for in
spite of its enormous mass the earth
weighs nothing.
Starting with the fact that the
earth's mass is about 100 million
million-millo tons, our statistician
calculates that we should require TO-
100000 years for n 10000 horse
power engine TO move our globe foot.
The boiler that should feed this engine
would vaporize a quantity OF water
that would cover the whole face OF the
globe with layer 300 feet deep. The
vaporization OF this water would re-
quire 1000 million million tons OF coal.
This coal. carried In cars holding ten
tons each and having a total length Of
thirty feet, would require 400 million
million cars. which would reach So,-
100000 times around the earth. This
train, moving at the rate OF forty
miles an hour. would take more than
100000 years TO travel Its own
length. 1t would require for storage a
shed that would cover 1000 times the
area of Europe.
If we realize that this Enthusiastically
huge amount of energy is nothing at
all compared with what the earth pos
sesses in virtue Of its rotation about its
axis its revolution about the sun and
its translation in space with the solar
system, of which the earth Is but an
infinitesimal part of the universe, we
may get some idea OF the Importance
OF man in the universe and estimate
his incommensurable pride at its just
value.
