Successive Images That Make a Wheel
Seem to RevoIve Backward.

ton Of the spokcs and that the view
is then INSTRUCTED for time during
which period of obstruction the wheel,
having ten spokes, say, is turned
through One-tenth of a revolution.
If the obstruction referred to be re
moved, and another observation of the
wheel be made, there would be abso-
been turned at all the spokes being
ali alike in appearance, and now oc-
cupying a similar position as before
This is exactly what happens when
a wheel is viewed in an artificial
light supplied with alternating cur
rent Therefore if the speed
Of a wheel be such that the sp0kas
occupy the same relative position to
the car every time the light reaches
It's maximum value, the sensation
gained with regard to the movement
OF the wheel is that it is not revolV-
ing al all, and this speed can be de.
fined As synchronous speed"
II the wheel is revolving at a speed
slightly less than synchronous. then
the first impression OF the spokes is az
shown in the figure by the full lines.
and the next is obtained when the
spokes are in some position as shown
dotted behind the first. The wheel
thus appears to revolve backward
the jumps from one position TO the
other being unnoticed If the speed
be greater than synchronous, She spokaS
appear little further ahead each
time. and the wheel appears to b.
moving slowly forward.
Another illusion is obtained by
watching the wheels of a passing car
through a length of distance Of saw
ten yards from the ob~erver Such A
view is almost unique in demonstrat-
ing the well-known fact that the top
of rolling wheel moves at twice the
speed of the center of the wheel and
infinitely faster than the bottom Of
the wheel both relative to the earth"

LABOR WILL APPEAL
CONVENTION URGES MEN TO ha SEEK HIGHEST COURT.
{, Federation Guilty Of Contempt in Famous Boycott Case.

.sToronto.-lf President Samuel Com nets. Vice President John Mitchell, and Secretary Frank Morrison of the American Federation of Labor event ualy have to serve sentences in jail for contempt of caurt it will not be due to lack Of support from trade unionsm.
 The executive council Of the feder- adbn recommended to the convention ipesesslen here that an appeael be ta- ken to the United States Supreme court, both In the Bucks Stove and Range case, and tho contempt pro- ceedngs growing out of it
 The blow came to Gompers and his associates when the distrct court of appeals in Washington affirmed the decision of the lower court.
 The court held that the fundamen- tai issue was whether the oonstitu. tional agencies of government should bei obeyed or defied. The fact that the defendants were officers of or ganized labor. said the court, lent i'm portance 10 the cause and added to the gravity of the situation. but, of course. was not permitted to influ- enee the result.
 @lf an organization of citizens, how. ever large the court held. may disobey the mandates of the court. the same reasoning would render tham subject to individual defiance. Both are subject to the law and neither are above it.
 The action of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia i'll senten. cing Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison to twelve, nine and six months in jaii, respectively. was the result of the failure of these three defendants to obey the order of the court di- reeting them to desst from placing the Bucks Stove and Range Company of St Louis on their unfair list" in the prosecution of their boycott against the corporation.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS KILLING
 OF ]. J. MacDOUGALD.
Victim Was Driving With Friend on Public Highway When Assassin
 Fired From Ambush.

Little Rock.-The inquest held on the body of John J. MacDougald. at daybreak Sunday morning, furnished no particulars as to the murder, or gave the officers no fresh clew, but afforded the opportunity for all the known facts concerning the tragedy to be made public
 In company with Constable J. o. Roberst, Morris Thomas, a negro who was especially deputized for the oc- easion, and Mir. MacDougald, who was deputy constable, left Gallo way Saturday night to raid craps game on the Baucum plantation, sey- erl miles south. After arriving at the place where the game was sup posed to be in progress, the officers found the house to be deserted It is thought that the inended raid was tipped off
 On the return from the place liar ris was riding in a buggy with MacDougal, and the two men were engaged Ill conversation. In pass lliS SpOI ClOSc lO duikHtI ; idht, which the highway skirts for some distance, two shots were fired from inside the barbed wire fence on the bank of the lake.
 In Harris testimony before the coroner's jury he stated that the dim form of man was seen when the shots were fired. A full charge of buckshot entered MacDougafs body just below the shoulder blade, and ranged upward, two of them coming out of the breast close to the right shoulder The mOrtally wounded man spoke but once, and then said feebly they've got me. l am shot through and through "
 One of the buckshot struck Harris skuIl, blowing furrow from behind the ear to the forehead, which re. suited only in a copious flow of blood From the direction of the s-not il is figured that the assassin was kneeling when he fired, the dis tance being estimated at twelve of fifteen feet.

Resolution to That Effect Adopted by
 Penitentiary Board.

The penitentiary board adopted a resolution declaring that it is in ia Yor of paying a pro rata share of the annual tax of the Linwood and Au burn Leyee District for the revet- ment work at Gummins and for the maintenance of levee at the state farm, based upon the acreage of the farm at the same rate of taxation as maintained on other property in the district
 During the discussion of the levee situation Gov. Donaghey stated that day for the convicts for an indefi- nite period it would probably be well To hire out the convicts and abandon the farm.
 Com'r Tucker suggested that rice might be grown on the farm at a greater profit than cotton. arguing that rice could be produced for about $l0 per acre which is great deal less than it costs to grow cotton.
 Attorney General NorWood and Au- djtor lobe were of the opinion that the present method of operating the farm is best, while Secretary of State Ludwig suggested that later on the warGens might be placed in charge of separate tracts, and prizes be giv- en for the best results
 This discussion was carried on in a purely informal manner, and while no official action was taken by the board, it is reasonably certain that some changes will be made soon.
