Under inc leadership of General Esten- "z it is proposed to establish a sovereign negro republic, like lIayti, al the Eastern end of the island. They aim tn isolate the entire eastern end of the island for the negro race.

CURVED BALL IS EXPLAINED
Professor Franklin Explains Mystery to Students of Columbia Unl-
 versity Summer School.

The why" of a baseball curve should no longer be a mystery, at least to the students of the Columbia University Summer school. In a lee ture on the Science of Baseball Curves" Prof. w. s. Franklin ex plained 1t all as follows:
 "The whole secret of curved ball lies, in the relation of the pressure to the velocity and vice versa, each ball creating it's own pressure by the ve- locity and the spin that the pitcher gives it as it leaves his hand.
 Daniel Bernouilli. Swiss physi- cist, who died in 1762. was the man who discovered the principle. He was observing stream of water that flowed through wide pools and mar row shoals. In the pools he soon found that the pressure was very great. while the velocity was almost nothing; In the shoals he saw that the velocity was very swift, while the pressure had almost disappeared.
 This is the principle that governs the flight and curve of bali. If the ball sails straight through air, with no spin, the air Is pushed aside equally in all directions ands the ball is directly under the control of grav- ity, so far as its curve Is concerned, and it soon falls to the ground: whereas, if the front of the ball is
