SPINNING EGGS.
Relation of Fluid Friction to the So
ldity 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 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
tionary.
The investigator who devised this
and the following experiments en-
ployed 1t as one of the proofs that the
earth is a solid body and not thin
crust of rock surrounding a fluid or
"pasty nucleus" In that case, he
held. the observed swinging and sway
ing motions of the earth's axis in pro-
NcSolOu ullu iuuldblOh NOuiu DG llhpOS-
sible.
The same phenomenon is shown in
the following experiment. though in
directly opposite way: If 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
1t spins stops Its 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 its 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.
If one attempt 10 spin the eggs on
the mirror after the manner Of a top.
he win tind that the boiled egg will
spin for a considerable time. but that
the other will fall almost Immediately
on its side. II has been observed that
this experiment furnishes a solution
OF Columbus problem-how to make
an egg stand on end. First boil the
egg hard and then spin it-Harper's

THE FLAG AFLOAT.
Intricate Etiquette of the Stars and
Stripes In the Navy.

The etiquette of the stars and stripes
aboard United States naval ships is al
most hopelessly intricate to outsiders,
writes Katherine E. Thomas in Joe
Chapple's News Letter. Rigid ruling
Of life aboard ship requires every Of
ficer or man on reaching or leaving the
quarter deck formally to salute the
national ensign. which salute must be
as formally returned by the officers of
the watch at hand.
All officers and men, however, must
stand at attention whenever the Star
Spangled Banner is played unless en-.
gagged at the time in some duty that alb
solutely prohibits their doing so. This
respect must be paid to the national air
of any country when an official repre-
sentative of that country is aboard
ship. Nor does the courtesy cease at
this, for at morning and evening col
ors all pulling boats when passing near
a foreign man of war must lie on their
oars, and the coxswain salutes, stand
ing to face the colors in his salute,
and steamers must stop their engines.
When a foreign ship Of war enters a
harbor or passes q fortifcation 1t Is
customary to hoist at the main the flag
of the country whose waters 1t visits
and to salute it, and the nearest fort
or battery returns the salute. When
foreign warship is in United States
waters and fires such a salute it is
returned exclusively by the nearest bat
terry, the United States ships remain
ing silent
Under no circumstances is a salute
permitted from a United States vessel
in honor Of any nation or any official
Of nation not formally recognized by
the government OF the United States,
and no ship Of the navy is permitted
to lower her sails or dip her ensign
unless to return a courtesy. On the
other hand, when passing or being
passed by a foreign ship Of war at
close range all officers and men on
deck are required to salute the foreign
flags and the sentries to present arms

Heavy Storm Monday.
One of the heaviest rain storms of
the year occurred Monday afternoon
in this vicinity. The storm came
from the southwest and was accom-
panied by thunder and lightning. 1t
prevailed for but few minutes but,
during that time, an immense amount
Of water fell. The streets soon be-
came veritable rivers and a murky
flood of water and oil began pouring
into the catch basins which were un-
able to accommodate the onslaught
and became clogged, the water in
some instances backing over the side
walks. But, by the strenuous use OF
hoes, the clogged basin gratings We're
cleaned of the debris, and the water
finally disappeared. Considerable
hail fell during the progress OF the
storm, but the absence of wind was
the one redeeming factor which saw
ed the fruit and hops from still great
er injury.
Reports from the country districts
indicate that Monday afternoons
storm was confined to the vicinity of
Dallas. While rain fell all over the
county, in no section was it as heavy
as here. Today is overcast with the
wind apparently shifting to the north |
and 1t is hoped that better weather
will ensue
