Sunday Rabbi Henry Barnstein of
Houston will speak to the students.

Reducing q Pound to Nothing.

In what form is lead lightest on the
scales? A British scientist has at.
tempted to tell how to make the proof.
but it isn't the easiest thing in the
world either to prepare the pound of
lead or place II in position for the
proof He says that making 1000 small
balls Of the pound of lead the weight
remains the same though the surface is
greatly increased. Then reduce the
small balls into 100000 balls. with
the surface enormously increased. but
the balls still weigh the one pound in
the scales. But this scientist says that
II these 100000 shot particles further
are reduced to one twenty thousandth
Of an inch each. they will rest In the
atmosphere Just where they are
placed. This for the reason that that
pressure of light from the sun exactly
overcomes the forces Of gravitation
To make the lead bits smaller, how.
ever, the scientist says that the sun.
light seizes them and hurles them into
space.

Hindu Moon Lore.

According to the Hindus. a lunar
eclipse is the contact between the
moon and another planet called Rahoo
but the masses believe that. owing to
the will Of God. Rahoo. or the serpent
like planet. catches hold Of the moon
by its hideous mouth and releases 1t
after short time. At first contact the
Hindus battle In the sea and anxious
ly await the release. After the con,
tact they take another bath. During
the interval they are not allowed even
10 drink cup of water, as their be-
lief is that all things In the world get
polluted during the contact.

A. & N. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE

October 12-Trinity University at

October 1S-Daniel Baker, College
Station--59-O.
October 26-University OF Arkansas
at Dallas-27-0.
November 17-Austin College at Col.

NJ. at College Station.
November 19-Tulane University at
College Station.
November 22-Kansas "Aggies" at
College Station.
November 2S-Baylor University at
Dallas.
The football team of A. and NJ. Col
lege returned from Dallas in great
spirits because of their triumph over
the University of Arkansas. With the
exception of some minor bruises sus-
tanned in the game, the men are in
fine physical condition and are ready
for the next contest on the schedule,
which will be with Austin College
here on next Friday. Coach Moran is
delighted over the big score piled up
against the Razorbacks, and local en-
thusiasts are entertaining justifiable
hopes of winning not only the state
championship but the Southwestern
championship as well, with a posi-
bility of comparing scores in the con-
test for the Southern championship.
In the reckoning. however, some
strong teams are to be taken into
consideration. The game with Arkan-
sas was only the first of five big bat
ties scheduled. Oklahoma University,
Mississippi A. and NJ, Tulane, and
the Kansas "Aggies" are all to be
met in the eleven days from Novem-
Der IL to November %. Without
doubt the Farmers have one of the
most powerful and best trained foot
ball machines in the history of the
institution. but these four games, COM
ing as they do in such rapid success
sion, are going to be severe test,
and it will be remarkable achieve
ment to win them all.
