on Tuesday and Wednesday she
was forced to remain in her rooms
under the care of a physician.

FOUGHT TO A FINISH.
Tiger and Crocodile In Battle in the
Water.

In India a native went 10 battle in n
ravine He was in the water up to
his neck when n tiger on the hill
above gave a leap toward its prey.
But the tiger had not calculated that,
since his victim was much lower than
himself. n. leap Of the right strength
for horizontal range would carry
him far beyond his mark; consequent
~ he fell some ten feet on the other
side
Now, it happened that hungry croc-
odile was ut the same time drawing n
bee line under water toward the ma
tive. When the crocodile had almost
come upon his prey he Heard n splash
just in front and made 4 dash. bring
ing his enormous jaws down on the
tigers paw.
The bather nearly tainted with
fright when he saw the tiger fall into
the water, and for n few moments he
could not understand why the crea-
ture did not devour him. Why did he
persist in keeping one Of his paws IN
der water, beating savagely with the
other? And the water turned red,
Then all at once the assaults Of the
tiger became more furious. and his

FALLING BODIES.
Their Velocity Varies According &c the
Force of Gravity.

ForCc OF OraNity.
a man falling from a three story
building In New Orleans will not fall
as fast as he would if he were in New
York city. In fact. in hardly any two
places will he fall with the same
speed. This is because as we 60 to-
ward the equator the force Of gravity
gets less and less, and consequently
the acceleration of a falling body be-
comes less, and the force of impact IS
therefore less.
While it does not make very Bsuch
difference in the injury to a person
falling from a height, it does make u
difference in other things. Take a rifle
and fire it exactly horizontally. and If
the gun IS sixteen feet above the
ground, say, at New York the bullet
fired from such n rife will strike the
ground in exactly one second after IL
leaves the rifle. II the bullet has q
horizontal velocity of 1000 feet per
second ii will strike the earth exactly
1000 feet away. Let US take the same
rifle to q place where the force of
gravity is not the same as at New
York, but a good deaf smaller. say
twO-thirds smaller. we hpd chat If
the gun is placed sixteen feet aboyG
the ground. as before. and absolutely
horizontal the bullet will not fall the
sixteen feet in one second. but will
take over one and q half seconds to
fall, thus enabling the bullet to be in
the air during that length of time.
Therefore it will strike the ground
about 1.G00 feet away. Thus it is seen
that the range OF a rife is increased
as 1t is taken toward the equator.
OF course there is no place on the
| earth where the force of gravity IS
twothirds smaller than at New York.
| but there are many places where the
| difference IS considerable enough to
affect slightly the range Of rifes.-Har-
