SPINNING EGGS.
Relation Of Fluid Friction to the So
lidty of the Earth.

An interesting experiment exhibits
the phenomenon of fluid friction. Take
two eggs. one raw. the other hard
boiled. and suspend them by wires
from an electric light fixture or other
support. their long axes being vertical.
Then If they be gently turned around
once or twice 1t Is found that while
| the boiled egg continues TO revolve the
raw one comes Immediately to rest.
This difference is due to the fact
that the boiled egg is a solid body. the
whole egg turning. while the raw egg
is a fluid contained in a shell, the shell
alone being turned by the twisting Of
the wire and the fluid remaining sta
honary.
The investigator who devised this
and the following experiments en-
ployed It as one Of the proofs that the
earth Is a solid body and not a thin
crust Of rock surrounding fluid or
"pasty nucleus" In that case. he
held. the observed swinging and sway
ing motions Of the earth's axis In pro
cession and mutation would be impos
sible.
The same phenomenon Is shown in
the following experiment, though in
directly opposite way: II two eggs
be spun rapidly on their sides on a
mirror or other perfectly smooth sur
face the experlmenter by gently plac-
ing his hand upon the boiled egg as
It spins stops It's movement perma-
nently. But If the same experiment be
made with the raw egg it will immedi-
ately begin to spin again when the
hand Is removed. Indeed, 1t is extraor.
binary how long one can hold his hand
upon the raw egg without destroy
ing It's motion. The reason Of this Is
apparent The fluid within the shell
continues TO revolve, although the shell
itself is stationary, while In the other
case the whole egg Is stopped.
II one attempt to spin the eggs on
the mirror. after the manner OF top,
he will find that the boiled egg will
spin for q considerable time. but that
the other will fall almost Immediately
on its side 1t has been observed that
this experiment furnishes solution

nm egg stand on end. First boil the
egg hard and then spin it.--Harper's

BRIDES IN JAPAN.
First They Are Arrayed In White Silk,
Then In Red.

EHSt IHoJ fNc w O''N'
Then In Red.
Brides in Japan follow the same Gus
tom which prevails in the western world
that OF wearing white at the wed
ding ceremony. at least during q part
Of It, But the significance attached TO
the choice Of this color is quite differ
ent on the two sides OF the world.
The japanese bride is dressed first in
resplendent garments of white silk, the
sleeves OF the costume usually being
about three feet in length, while the
SASH an important feature, measures
about eleven feet In length.
But white Is the mourning color In
Japan. and the bride leaving her par
ents' house considers herself dead in
the sense that she will never return
alive, preferrlng death to divorce and
I'm consequence wearing white cos
tune.
After the exchange OF cups OF sake
with the bridegroom, which Is the most
important part Of the wedding cere-
mony, the bride changes her costume
to red one. This Is called iromaoshi
changing color. Red is supposed to
have purifying power and perhaps
clears the minds OF the parties Of all
association Of mourning.
This is the origin of the japanese
custom of using white costumes at wed
dings. but many people in modern ia
pan do not any longer have time to
bother their heads with these questions
of color and simply so ahead and mar
ry according to the accepted custom,
with no thought of what the colors sig
nify.-Oriental Review.

that are being planned.
A part of the proceeds will be used
for the, retirement of $1O36,000 pei

E. r. Fitzgibbon Falls Under
Train at the Pearl Street
Crossing Thursday.
HIS RIGHT LEG WAS CRUSHED
(From Fridays daily.)

| Edwin r. Fitzgibbon, aged 20 years,
telegraph operator living at Mitchell
Ind, met terrible injuries at the Pearl
street crossing Of the Chicago and
Northwestern road just after six
o o'clock Thursday night when he was
pulled under train and his right leg
SO mangled that it was found neces-
sary to amputate it just above the
knee. Fitzgibbon is now at the Keno
sha Hospital and his father, j. P. Fitz-
gibbon has notified the hospital
authorities that he will be here this
afternoon to provide for the proper
care of the injured man.
Fitzgibbon had come tc Kenosha on
Thursday morning and he had chatted
with the telegraph operators about the
city and had evidently planned to re-
turn to Chicago on the 6:26 train.
He had started for the train late and
when he reached the Pearl street
crossing the train was pulling out at a
good rate of speed. The vestibules
had not been closed and Fitzgibbon de-
cided to make an effort to board the
train. He rushed under the gates and
caught hold Of the railing Of the plat
form and swung himself up. His body
struck the fence which guards the
right Of way with such violence that
he was forced to loosen his hold and
he fell directly under the trucks. Sew
eral of the trucks passed over the leg
of the Frustrated man before the train
could be stopped.
| As soon as possible an ambulance
was called and the injured MAJ was re-
moved to the Kenosha Hospital. He
suffered terribly from loss Of blood
and it was found that the entire lower
part of his leg had been crushed
Nearly every bone in the foot and leg
had been broken. Fitzgibbon was hur-
lied to the operating table in an eff
fort to save his life. He suffered ter
ribly from the shock but following the
operation his condition improved and
this morning the physician declared
that he had a good chance. Fitzgib-
bon has not been able to give any
story of the manner in which he met
his injuries. He was perfectly sober
and it is thought that the accident
came as a result Of his failing to
properly estimate the speed at which
t the train was moving.
The young man is said to belong to
one Of the best known families at the
Indiana village.

1t must be admitted that the almost
complete rout of the gang which has
been in control in Kenosha for the
past four years was considerable of a
surprise even to those who were most
firmly convinced that the people are
waking up to what has been going on
at last and probably the administra-
ton forces were as much astonished
by the results of the voting as any
body. Too many people had been ac-
customed to accepting the arrogant
assertions of the msn in power that
they could not be defeated in "tLeir''
wards as gospel truth, but both sides
know better now.

With the prospect of having to build
a new court house in the near future,
the supervisors were wise not to put
any money in a new building for the
municipal court or to make any. extern
sive repairs on the old county build
ing at this time. They can tell better
what to do after they learn how the
proposal to build new court house is
received in the county. If the board
decides that the time has come to build
it would be much better to put all the
money the county has to spend in one
modern office building large enough to
accommodate all the county offices and
both courts, than to divide it up be-
tween two buildings. Then we should
have a building that would be a credit
to the county. In the meantime, the
municipal court will have an uncom-
Portable time getting along as best it
can in its present quarters, but it will
be the gamer in the end.

Showing that no political combina-

its followers are knit together by the
memory Of past favors or the hopes
of others in the future, can stand up
against the people when they make up
their minds that it is time for a
change. The voters who are opposed
to gang rule and who favor good gov

they choose to exert themselves and

The action of the members of the
county board in special session We'd
nesday in cancelling the contract for
the repairs of the old county building
will probably meet with the full ap-
proval of all of the people of the coun-
ty who are familiar with the condi-
tions. The supervisors decided that
the old building was not worth repair
ing and certainly if after the repairs
were completed the building would
Alot be adequate in every way for the
Uses of the municipal court, it would
be poor business management to throw
away $4,000 on it. The county has no
other use for the building than to
house the municipal court and if the
court viii occupy it only temporarily
only such minor repairs as will make
the building habitable until the court
moves to better quarters are neces-
sary and these can be made for much
less than $4,000. The action taken
with regard to quarters for the mupi-
cipal court will probably result in the
project to build modern building
which will provide Offices for all of the
county officials as well as accommoda-
tions for both the circuit and munich
pal courts being brought before the
next meeting. of the supervisors. In
asmuch as the present quarters Of the
municipal court are wholly inadequate
and there is an insistent demand for
more Office room for the growing de-
mands of the county business, the pro-
position to combine both buildings may
appeal to the supervisors.
