QUEER MOVING BALL
Remarkable Phenomenon in a
Marion, Ohio, Cemetery.
Great Granite Sphere Actually Turns,
and Furnishes Scientists With
New Subject for Their Vari- 4
Gus Theories.

Marion, ON the last few years
the attention of scientists. and OF the
public in general, has been attracted
to a remarkable phenomenon discov-
cred in connection with the monu-
ment to the memory of c. B. Mer-
chant, In the Marion cemetery.
The monument consists of stone
base. rough in finish, upon which Is
mounted polished granite ball Inc
ball Is So inches in diameter ana
weighs 1920 pounds.
When the ball was placed In posi-
ton in 1895 the monument builder
left but one spot of 1t rough. This
was the segment of contact with the
stone pedestal, or that part OF the ball
which rested on the supporting stone.
So thoroughly was the rest of the ball
polished that It's surface is like mir
ror. 1t reflects perfectly the trees and
shrubbery which surround 1t.
In 1900, four years after the monu-
ment was erected, visitor to the
cemetery discovered that the granite
sphere had shifted it's position. In
vestigation proved that the rough spot
was no longer in contact with the ped
estal. Repeated efforts on the part
of cemetery employees failed to re-
turn the ball to it's former position.
Those who attempted the task real
lied that the ball had not been turned
by human hands. At first its move
ment was ascribed to the motion OF
earth This was the commonly &C
copied theory until newspaper reports
called the attention of scientists to
the phenomenon.
Men of science from the Ohio uni
versities made special trips to Marion
to study the problem. AS the story
of the ball was spread scientific men
from universities further away came
to study the ball.
When the first professor of physics
looked at the sphere the rough spot
on the ball was about half way up
toward it's top as it rested on the
pedestal. He took a photograph OF
the ball In that position, the rough
spot designating that the ball was
moving In the vertical circle.
The next scientist who took pic
ture of the ball showed 1t in differ
ent position. The ball had turned in
part in the vertical circle and then
