TIE CURVED BALL.
70 Is the Atmosphere Which Causes
Its Eccentric shoots.

GH Is the Atmosphere Which Causes
It's Eccentric shoots.
Most any ten-year-old youngster can
curve a ball. even though he does NOT
know why he ca d do SO except. that
the leather must be held in a certain
way Possibly IL half dozen of The
major league tw;rlers know something
about the science of the curve. but
comparatively few understand why
they can produce their blenders" The
Scientific American gives the follow
ing as the scientific explanation of the
matter
1.-The pitcher in the field tells us that
the ball curves because he gives it
twist, but scientifically this will not do.
Why will TIE twist make the curve?
If a ball were thrown in a certain di-
rection ard if the force of gravitation
were not at work TIE ball would con-
tinue on in straight line forever.
Some force of resistance is then AZ
work when ball is made to deviate in
curve from its straight course. If
feather is dropped in Il vacuum in an
exhausted receiver Of an air pump IL
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.
1T is tie atmosphere WHICH causes
the ball to curve. Bearing in mind
that the atmosphere is Il compressible,
elastic gas we find that when the ball
leaves the hand Of the pitcher with
rapid rotary motion it 'impinges upor
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 rapid centrifugal ro
tary motion to the left, and the ball
goes to the left because the atmosphere
compressible and elastic, is packed into
an elastic cushion just ahead of thc
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"

Beat This if You Can.

Speaking of warm winters, "
said subscriber who visited the
office of the Lewiston Journal, do
YOU recall the winter of 1897? In
that winter | went to school from
December until March barefooted,
with nothing on but linen pants and
and cotton shirt. And it was so
hot sometimes during recess that
took off my shirt. In that winter,
Christmas dav 1 picked eight quarts
of ripe strawberries in field op-
posite my fathers house in the town
of Turner, and near had a sun
stroke. It was so warm that win
ter they forgot to hold the annual
state legislature at August ia. The
faithful chronlcler added that he
slept all winter without bed clothes
and the mosquitoes bit savagely.

A Hint For Amateur yugglers.

The amateur conjurer should, as far
as possible, endeavor to juggle only
with the ordinary commonplace articles
that are invariably at hand. Cards are
to be found in almost every house.
hats. handkerchiefs, glasses, coins and
paper are always handy, and the man
who conjures with these with no ap-

DESERTED VILLAGE
IN WISCONSIN
Bibon, Once Flourishing Lum-
Der Town, Almost Bereft
Of Population.

Bibon, Wis, After having
its population dwindle from
800 to IS within the last year,
Bibon is likely to be called
the Deserted Village of Wis
consin, for when, the Chi
cago Lumber & Coal company
closes down it's planning mill
in this town some time next
month it is expected that
most of the remaining popu-
lation will move away. The
station agent is the only man
who has definitely announced
his intention of staying.
Four years ago Bibon was
a thriving town of nearly 700
people. 1t is located at the
intersection of the Omaha
and the Duluth, South Shore
q Atlantic railroads and the
huge lumber mills and yards
of the Chicago Lumber & Coal
company were located here.
AS the timber became
scarcer and scarcer in the
country surrounding Bibon it
was the natural consequence
that the mills shut down in a
few years. But this end was
FASTENED by the fire which
destroyed the big sawmill
last year. The lumber COM
pany did not see fit to rebuild
it and at that time nearly 300
persons packed up and left
town within a month.
Since then the company has
been gradually selling out
the lumber in the yards and
shutting down its plant until
now only the planning mill is
running. When it closes it's
probable that only few de-
serted tumbledown houses. a
little red depot and the char
red remains of the sawmill
will mark the Site of what
four years ago promised to
be one of the most progress
sive little towns in northern
Wisconsin.

MAKING STEERS.
Lack of Quality In Steers For Feed
Lots of the Corn Belt.

Lack of Quality In Steers For Feed
Lots of the Corn Belt.
The value of well formed steers for
the feed lot is admitted by all cattle
feeders. The difficulty Of obtaining
such among the small herds of cattle
of the corn belt states is, however, just
as universally recognized. This lack
OF quality in the steers Of this region
is usually attributed to improper breed
ing, the use of poor sires and the adj
mixture Of the blood Of the dairy
breeds.
Stating the case thus, j. r. Edgerton
Of Illinois declares in Orange Judd
Farmer that care OF the steer during
calfhood is very largely responsible
for the kind of a steer he makes in the
end. While the steers of the corn belt
states are mostly raised in small num-
bers, the total number that are pro
duced in this section is very large, and
the increased wealth that would be
added to the accounts Of the farmers
there located, If these steers were all
properly raised, can hardly be esti-
mated
A Few Steers side Issue.
Perhaps one Of the chief causes Of
this lack Of proper raising is the fact
that with most of the farmers the rails
ing of few steers is side issue and
is given less attention than the rest Of
their business. Under such circum-
stances the calf loses his natural sup
ply Of food through the cow drying up
and cannot supplement it with pasture.
In addition he is sweltered with heat,
tormented with flies and possibly does
not have a liberal supply of clean
fresh water to drink. No calf can be
expected to develop properly under
such conditions. If the cows are being
MIXED and the calves fed by hand on
the skim milk they fare little better as
to care and proper feeding.
