LAW OF GRAVITY VIOLATED.
Conditions Under Which Water Ac
tuaIIy Flows Upward.

0'0S'
tuaIIy Flows Upward.
water seeks its level" is an ex
preston heard so frequently as to be
almost trite. and yet the law has its
exceptions. There are conditions un-
der which water actually flows up
ward and rises above its ource If a
glass tube be dipped into water the
column inside will be above the level
of the surrounding surface. Moreover.
If a tube of half the diameter be sub
stituted the column doubles its height
The water creeps along the inside OF
the tube. owing to the adhesion, and
forms a cup shaped depression at the
top.
An explanation is not difficult. 1t
can be proved automatically that if
the diameter of a circle be diminished
one-half the circumference is also re-
duced to that extent. while the area is
one-fourth of it's former value. The
circumference of the column Of water
being reduced one-half. its contact
with the glass, and hence the adhesive
force, is also diminished to that extent,
while the cross section. and hence the
weight. is decreased to a fourth Of
what It was before. Therefore the sec
ond column can be twice the height of
the first without exceeding the lifting
power.
Remarkable as the underlying prin-
ciples of this phenomenon undoubtedly
are, nature made use of them long be-
fore man made their discovery. Every
tree and flower adds its testimony.
The core of a tree or plant. instead Of
being a single open channel, consists
of a spongelike substance containing
many miniature tunnels. through
which the sap and moisture collected
by the roots flow upward In small riv-
ulets. rising higher and higher In
sheer defiance of the great law of
gravity.-St. Louis Republic.

Through the elder Sothern, Billy

the Duke of Beaufort, and they were
excellent friends. Beaufort came to
this country and was at the Gilsey
House, in New York, a good While.
Florence enlivened his stay by several
jokes which were the talk of the town
at the time. He told the duke that he
was not looking well. You need vio-

for trying it. One afternoon when sew

him to try the great remedy. The duke

WHILE THE Mayor has with
drawn his proclamation calling a
special election for the purpose
of voting on the commission form
of Government, and those who
circulated the petitions have
withdrawn them, so that we are
certain that there will be no
special election, there may be
profit in examining the provisions
Of the law providing for a change
in the form Of city government.
That there can be no possible ad-
vantage for a city like ours to
adopt the system needs no DIS
cussion. except to mention the
fact that under the system one
quarter of the money at the dis
posal of the commissioners would
have to be used for paying the
salaries of the commits sioners,
and what is the object of this
when at the present time men
are willing. for the good of the
community, to serve on the coun-
Gil, and to look after the business
IN the city without one cent of
pay for their services. There is
10 reason for criticism of the
financial policy of the City coun-
Gil. Money is expended to the
best possible advantage. economy
is the watchword in every de-
partment. The members of the
City council are expanding the
pnblic money just as they would
in their own private business,
This system could not be i'm
proved upon. We do not agree
that the commission form Of
Government as provided for by
she Wisconsin Law is the ideal
one. TIE Wisconsin law is con-
coded to be defective in many
particulars, and neither the per-
sons who signed the petitions or
those who circulated them had a
proper conception of the princi-
pal provisions.
In the first place, before the
commissioners can be elected,
they must be nominated by a re-
gular primary. This means that
The city election will be made a
partisan affair, when it is gener-
ally conceded that city officers
like school officers and judicial
officers should be free from party
alliances. The mayor and COM
1nissioners would be apt to be
successful at elections simply
because they had a party label
attached to them, without regard
10 qualifications.
In the second place, there is
no provision of law for reducing
The ridiculous salaries attached
to the offices of Mayor and coun-
Cilmen. In a city like ours, the
mayor would be entitled to $500
Ter annum and the councilmen
would receive $1,000 per annum
and they would be required to
devote their entire time to the
Offices. What in the name of
common sense would three men
lind to do? The city clerk, As
SCISSOR, Treasurer and the other
officers of the city would have to
be paid just the same.
To the Third place. The
Mayor, under the commission
system would be elected for a
term of six years and the coun-
cilmen for two years and four
years respectively. The Wis
consin law contains no provision
Tor a recall. This a most serious
defect. The dominant political
party could elect an Incompetent
mayor and the dear people would
lave to put up with him for six
long years. He could hold his
