FRICTION.
What Causes II and What Would Hap
psn Without II.


What is friction really caused by?
Why will two things in contact not
slip over each other easily: 1t Is be-
cause every substance known to science
has teeth: microscopic. IL is true. but
still teeth The result. then. Is OBJ
vious If we shove book across a
table the teeth of the book interiOck

wheels do. and the push has to he

enough or 10 break them of for the
motion To continue.
Ii has actually been observed In
microscope that II the push is only
slight one and moves the book only a
short distance. on the pressure of the
hand being removed the book actually
jumps back to its former position
This action is slight bending OF the
two sets of teeth. only not far enough
for them 10 lose their relative posi-
tons. and their elasticity on being re-
ledsed makes the book fly back.
1t has been shown that this friction
is not so much between different bod

terial One industrial application of
this is the bearings for steel axles.
They are made Of brass instead of
steel.
In some things we want as much
friction as possible and in others as
little. The former is illustrated in the
friction between an engine wheel and
ttn tro oh mo
ed on the track to increase the friction.
The latter case is illustrated In all
bearings where rotating metal Is In

SAVAGE ATHLETICS.
Canary Islanders Who Would Have
Made Good Ball Players.

In this age Of athletics one might
think that no people ever showed SO
much interest In feats of muscular
might and skill as those who have per-
fected football. but modern games.
and even the games Of the Greeks at
Olympia. may have been more than
matched by the sports of peoples now
held in tight esteem. We have the ac-
counts Of excellent authorities for the
contention that the athletic training Of
Canary islanders makes even the col
lege giants Of today seem weak and
effeminate.
These Islands came into subsection
to Spain about the time Columbus dis
covered America. The conquest was
pean weapons and not to better skill
and prowess. Native soldiers were
trained athletes developed under sys-
tenn that held athletic sports to be an
important business. like military drill
Spanish chronicles have left accounts
Of sports Of the islanders. From baby
hood they were trained to be brisk in
self defense. As soon as they could
toddle the children were pelted with
mud balls that they might learn how
to protect themselves. When they were
boys stones and wooden darts were
substituted for bits of clay.
In this rough school they acquired
the rudiments of warfare which en-.
abled them during their wars to catch
In their hands the arrows shot from
their enemies crossbOws.
After the conquest of the Canaries a
native Of the islands was seen at Sc
vile who. for silver piece. let man
throw at him as many stones as he
pleased from distance Of eight PAGES.
Without moving his left foot he avoid
ed every stone
Another native used to defy any one
to hurl an orange at him with so great
rapidity that he could not catch It.
Three men tried this. each with dozen
oranges. and the islander caught every
orange. AS further test he hit his
antagonists with each of the oranges

To Democrats

1t is generally believed that the

there is united and harmonious effort
on the part of Democrats everywhere.

directing speakers, and doing the gen.
eral work of organization. We need
your active support especially in a
financial way. Please send to the
National Democratic Congressional
Committee, Washington, d. G., a
check at once as we are greatly in
need Of funds to push our work, and
must depend upon Democrats to fur
