mon Newcomb, in his Popular AS

If light were an emission of materia.
particles, as Newton supposed it 10
be, this supposed pressure of light
would have some plausibility. But
light is now conceived to consist of
vibrations in an ethereal medium and
there is no known way in which they
could erert any impelling force on
matter"
But today Newton is supported and
science has gone SO far into the pres
sure of light as to figure that this ligh.
pressure on the globe reaches $4,000
tons. Further. along the lines of de
duction, there is pressure upon any OBJ
ject that reflects or that absorbs light.
the pressure being greater on the re-

PAPER Cannon,

To the amazingly long list, of ar
ticles made of paper there may be
added paper cannon, which have been
manufactured at the Krupp works, in
Germany. These paper field pieces
are for special use of the infantry.
Their caliber is little less than two
inches, and the pieces are so light
that a soldier can easily carry one.
But the resistance is greater than that
of field piece of steel of the same
caliber. 1t is not to be understood
that these paper guns are in any way
to replace those made of steel. The
paper arms are intended merely for
uses in situations where the move
ment of field artillery would be i'm
practicable. Paper artillery on the field
of battle seems an extraordinary
thing, but it is hardly more so than
paper wheels for freight cars on rail
ways appeared when they were first

chiefly a recommendation that the

events incident to Madero's assassina-
ton.
Ambassador Wilson, on the other
hand, is disposed to look at the situa-
ton, not from past events, but with
the practical idea of the future He
believes it is the business of govern
