The Laws of Nature
By EDGAR LUCIEN LARKIN

far too technical, the authors as
Stunning that only those having
previously put in years Of study
would buy their books. But my
recent questions, more than ever
within five years. beg that science
be made easy. As a matter of
curiosity I here print five laws
without any attempt at explana-
ton.
Five of the Laws.
I. Light in passing from a rare
to a dense retroactive medium is
refracted toward the normal; and
in passing from a dense TO a rare
medium is bent out of its course
from the perpendicular. Every
telescope and microscope, every
lens is based on this law.
II. The set specific heat of any
chemical element is inversely
proportional to it's atomic mass.
III The sum of the products
of the resistance in ohms, and
current strength, in amperes, in
each OF several conductors is
equal 10 the sum of all the cleo
tro- motive forces in the circuit,
in volts.
". AN PLANETS in the solar sys-
tern make circuit in ellipses, the
sun being in the common focus
of them all.
V. The differential of a varia-
bic affected with an exponent is
the continued product of the ex-
ponent, the variable with it's ex-
ponent less l, and the differential
of the variable.
This isrone wheel in the might
test engine of power In the pos
session of man. And hundreds OF
more classic beauties like these.
Now, all humans simply living
and moving and having their very
being immersed and absorbed in
these eXquisitely fascinating laws
Of the sidereal universe do not
want TO fight, rob and waste their
short lives In senseless, brainless,
stupid and idiotic fashion and
frivonty. And sensible people by
hundreds are now seeing this
point.
Q. Is there a limit TO the eye
sight?
A. Yes; the eye can not see a
molecule, atom or electrou
Q. Can a telescope extend the
horizon of the eye
\. No, the horizon is circle
on the earth's surface having the
eye Tor its center. Where Shy

that filled me with start

seven requests to explain the
Laws of Nature. These are the
most gratifying letters l ever have
received in one day, during forty
six years of almost constant pub

All along, editors as well as

Of nature were not suited to a

Here is my own opinion from
constant contact with people from
every nation in the world during
thirty-four years in an astronom-
teal observatory. One person in
each one thousand Of the entire
race human has ever heard of a
Law of Nature. One in ten thou
sand has ever seen one of
these stupendous laws in print.
They have not read the proper
books. They have passed by the
glories wearing almost black
glasses, and have missed nearly
all.
In my thirteen years writing for
the Hearst newspapers have
published perhaps twenty of these
laws, when writing the long Sc

other series on Electricity Three

Discovery Of Rosin
Puzzles Community

Workmen digging a cellar for
the new Wooten and Moore build
ing. on the lot on Market street.
Laurel, one day last week. came
upon barrel of roSin buried at a
depth of five feet. 100 years ago
Caleb Ross. father of the late Gov
ernor William II. Ross. occupied a
store that stood on the lot. Levin
Hearn, a resident of the town. S3
years old, recalls that in his boy
hood, rosin was bought in Laurel
and shipped to points north but
southern competition killed the
business. SO far as is known there
never was a cellar within 80 yards
of the spot where the barrel was
unearthed and why it should have
been buried there is a puzzle.

but you are afraid to let the world
know what you are up to. and then
you have the nerve TO find fault
when it is your own fault because
you won t advertise. "
But how can | advertise as You
do?" said Mrs. Duck: Il haven t
your voice, and if | We're to lay

husband were TO scream. We would
frighten people away from our
eggs. -
THE thing for you to do is TO
get a little melody into your voice.
Instead of spending your time
swimming. and standing on your
head in the water. why don't you
practice music. or do something
unusual to let people know you are
in the egg business? 1t is a cur
ious thing about this old world.
You. as an honorable and reliable
duck, may go through life doing
you full duty in the egg line, but
you will have to die to get your
reward. and that will come in the
frying-pan and on the table. if
you can only get some one to try
and carve you up and have you
slip away from the knife all over
the table. The way TO get a reward
for duty done in this world is to
advertise and LET people know what
you are doing and what you have
for sale. Get music into your voice
and then get up on the fence, and
let that music out whenever you
lay an egg.
At this moment the Leghorn hen
heard her husband calling that he
had found worm. only to find
that her husband had eaten the
worm and merely desired her pleas

thoughtfully across the barnyard
to the pond.
1T is all true enough. sup

cestors knew that if they advertis-
ed the foxes would get their eggs

TO DO is to take a swim and cool

THE DISAPPOINTED DUCK

One day in the barnyard. this
duck met her old friend Mrs. Leg
horn Hen. walking proudly away
from the admiring glances of a
group of Summer boarders.
Tell ME. - said Mrs. Duck. as
an old and candid friend, what is
the matter with me anyway? [
lay as many eggs as you do. and
my eggs are just as good: ] do not
cost the boss half as much as YOU
do: he builds an expensive house
for you TO live in and gives me the
cold side of an open shed. Your
table is supplied with every dainty
from beef scrap TO oyster shells;
| live on faith and bugs. fresh air
and cold water. with little moul-
dy grain thrown in. My eggs cost
the boss less money than yours; I
am never sick: | do not 90 into his
garden and scratch the life out of
his crop: in fact. my husband and
myself are model citizens of this
farm. Yet we get no credit, either
in song or story or in the common
things of life. If you do not want
me to become a rank Socialist right
here and now tell me what is the
matter with me.
Nix friend said the hen. as
she helped herself from a pail Of
seed corn. with no rebuke from the
farmer. the trouble with you is
that You do not advertise and | do.
Now look at it as a plain business
proposition: When you lay an egg
you act as though you are ashamed
of your job: you crawl off into the
brush or into the pasture, out of
sight, lay your egg, and then
sneak away. as though You might
be arrested. You do not even
quack; and your husband, Profes-
sor Pekin, is less interested than
YOU are; all he says is Come and
take a swim and forget it. The
farmer wouldn t find your egg eX-
cept by accident. and, as likely as
not. he would step on it when he
walked through the grass. Your
eggs are all right and you lay
whole lot of them. As producer,
YOU do we'll enough, but the trou-
BILE is you are hiding your talents
and your eggs under napkin. >
well. what of it said the
duck: what can l do in addition
TO laying my egg? From way back
thousands of years behind me,
every ancestor did the same thing.
They crawled into the brush and
laid their eggs out of sight, and |
am bound to follow in the steps of
my ancestors and do the same
thing.
And there is where you get out
of the modern game, said the
hen. "Your ancestors were all
right in their day. but You seem to
forget that the world has turned
around several times since they

\ FISTIC BOUT THAT
 WAS NOT ON PROGRAM
Local Thcater Scene of Conflict Be tween Stage Chicken and
 Stranger.

One of the sWiftest bloodless battles ever staged in the city was pulled off without police interference at the Col iseum last night during the act of Young x Manning. One of the feat :
 ures of this performance is the intro duction of q chicken fight between ] game cocks which travel with the show. However, this looked too easy for Manager Reeves, and seeing the possibilities of real fight, he succeed ed in obtaining the services of a local exponent of the art of self defence among chickens and secured the con sent of Mir. Young to match his pet for a short time with the dark horse.'' However the game cocks were not taken into the secret, and hereby hands d tale.
 When Mir. Young's game chicken spied the stranger the trouble began to brew He squared himself off and started tour of inspection. Recog- nizing his pals. he felt that safe that he resented the informaIity of the stranger in forcing himself into the company of the select who was perch ing himself on the back of the bench used in the act, the aforesaid back of the bench being the specially chosen roasting place of the leader of the show gang.
 Jumping up to the bench he made his chagrin known by pecking determin- ately at the head of the stranger. Right there is where he made one of the great est mistakes of his career, for the stranger was not only not used to be- ing pecked in the head but the physical inconvenience of the operation was beyond his endurance. He promptly accepted the challenge. and the pair retired to the floor of the stage where they could settle the argument once and for all times.
 From the tap of the gong in the first round it was painfully evident that the leader of the show had met his Water loo. He was outclassed in science reach and punch, and soon succeeded in proving to the satisfaction of the leader of the show gang his lack of superiority. The seconds and trainers as well the sparring partners of the leader of the show gang naturally felt they owed it to the dignity of the tray cling profession to resent the insult and promptly started to make the stranger retract his actions They started but stopped quickly for the dark horse" was there with bells on and it was only matter of a few sec onds when he had not only cleared the stage of everything that looked like a rooster but had regained the perch where he had originally chosen it. and remained there during the entire per formance
 While the opinion of every spectator was that the victory belonged to the dark horse beyond all uueStion of a doubt, still the dark horse is d game sport as well as fighter and has agreed to mix it again with the bunch tonight at the same place and at the same time, and will continue to do so until he is the undisputed champion of all game cocks in Phoenix
