STONE MOVED BY THE SUN
immense Mass of eranite In Ohio
Cemetery undersoes Curious
Revolutions.

An interesting object Is to be seen
In cemetery Of ohio-a large gran
lite stone weighing two tons. in the
shape of a ball, which Is gradually
turning on its axis. During the last
five years, SO it is said, this ball has
turned a fraction over 13 inches.
When the ball was placed in position
an unpublished spot six inches in diam
eter was purposely left in the socket
of the pedestal whereon 1t rested. A
little later 1t was noted with astonish-
ment that this spot was turning up
ward on the south side of the monu-
ment. This curious revolution Of the
polished ball, to lift which would re-
auire large derrick, is supposed to
be due to the suns action, in the fol-
lowing manner: The solar rays heat
ing one side cause the ball to expand
to a certain degree whereas the north
side, which rests mostly in the shade,
does not expand to the same extent,
thus causing the ball gradually to
Ashift its position by turning.

A POLICE COURT STORY.

A few weeks ago a pitiful case was
brought out In q Police Court trial
In a Kentucky town. A travelling
book agent had sold a Bible to a lady
for $4.75, taking note therefor
which was signed by the woman. who
also signed her husbands name. In
the course OF time this note, having
been deposited In a certain bank for
collection, and not being paid when 1t
fell due, was placed In the hands Of
attorneys who brought suit against
the woman and her husband in the
Police Court. The woman testified
that she and her husband owned no
property Of any value; that he could
not read nor write and that she had
signed the note under a misappre-
hension that II was merely a memoir
anda or contract showing that she
had purchased the Bible and how
much she should pay for II. She
said that she had always longed for

Gov. Osborn Taken to Task.


To the Editor of The Times: AS
The Times furnishes an open form
where the people may speak, wish,
with your kind permission, TO avail
myself Of 1t briefly. The position OF
Gov. Osborn on the reciprocity meas
ure, as published In The Times, and
other papers, was a surprise, and some
thing Of a shock, to those who have
been his admirers in his fearless and
iust administration That he should
make such a positive statement that
the action of the leaders OF the
Grange and Cleaner organizations
against reciprocity, was not true
expression OF the sentiment OF Micni-
gan farmers seems strange and, VIC
might say audacious. The editors or
The Cleaner, secured within forty
eight hours $4,000 names OF farmers
against reciprocity and rushed 1t into
the hands OF the senate in the closing
hours OF congress, and they could
they claimed, have secured as many
more with more time. The Grange
of Michigan has furnished 35,OOO
names to a petition against the meas
ure. and not more than one out or
Eve OF the farmers Of the state belong
to either order. and as there has been
no petitions from the farmers sent In
asking for the passage Of the measure,
is Il not fair to presume that they do
not want It as a class? And why
should they want II? 1t is said that at
least two-thirds OF the farms In Micni-
gan are carrying mortgages. Unfav'
orable seasons for several years have
made II hard work for farmers to
make ends meet. A few who were out
of debt have begun to get ahead some
what, and these could stand TO have
the price Of their products lowered
