WHY A BASEBALL CURVES.
For the Same Reason That an Open
Door Slams In a Draft.

All lave wondered at some time or
other why a door opened nearly to the
limit will close when there Is a draft
or wind going through the opening.
Certainly the wind does not get in be-
hind the door and shove it. for the
draft is through the opening.
TIE explanation of this fact lies in a
fundamental principle of moving fluids
and is the same principle that makes q
baseball curve. Whenever there is a
current in the air sidewise pressure is
least in that current. so when the
draft blows through the opening to the
door the pressure on hat side of the
door Is decreased, and consequently
the pressure on the other side will
start slowly to move the door. making
it go faster and faster till the door
swings into the draft itself and starts
going in the direction of the draft.
When it does SO 90 in this direction
of course the draft helps it along, be
cause it Is now not the sidewise mo-
ton that counts. but the forward mo-
ton.
When a ball is rotated in the air il
carries around with it a good deal of
air sticking to the sides. This. then.
is the same thing as saying that a cur
rent of air is flowing round the rotat-
ing ball in the direction of rotation
If a wind blows against that ball
1t Is easy TO see that the little rotating
current will be with the wind on one
side and against it on the other. SO
on one side the velocity of the air
VIII be increased and on the other di
mlnished. So the greater pressure on
the slow side will shove the bal
against the low pressure on the fast
Now. throwing a ball in the air
$ the same as making IL wind blow
lgainst it, so if a ball be thrown and
'otated at the same time ii will ueces.

ORIGIN OF THE LIFEBOAT.

a most interesting one-is given by
Noel 7. Methley in 1.-The Lifeboat and
Its Story"
In b course of a country stroll Will
liam Wouldhave. the inventor of the
self righting lifeboat, came across a
woman who asked his help in lifting a
heavy vessel of water just drawn
from the well. On the surface of the
water there foated the broken half of
A wooden bowl. Wouldhave was
drawn into conversation. and. like
many another who cannot keep his
hands quiet while he talks. he idly
toyed with the floating piece Of wood.

EDDYSTONE LIGHTHOUSE.
Tragic History of a Famous Old World
Beacon.

The romance of lighthouse construc-
ton undoubtedly centers around Eddy
stone. AS long ago as 1896 Winstanley
commenced building. Two years later
the weak beams of light from the tai
low candles first pierced the darkness.
The engineer had an unshakable belief
In his tower and often expressed a
wish to be In it during a severe gale.
This chance came on Nov. %, 17O5,
when on a storm appearing imminent
he set out from Plymouth. The hurri-
cane was one Of the most terrible re-
corded in history. and among other
damage it swept away every vestige Of
the lighthouse. those in It, Of course,
being lost. Within three years another
was built. known as Rudyard's. and,
like Winstanley's. Of wood.
The obvious occurred after an exist
ence of f~orty-seven years. it being ut
terly destroyed by conflagration. The
Observation-Disclosures of stone and
lasted until 1881. a period of 40 years.
when it was found that it was being
undermined and a new structure, the
present and fourth. was erected on an
adjacent rock. Smeaton's tower was
rebuilt on Plymouth Hoe, where can
be seen the original candle chandelier
and the gongs operated by clockwork
to keep awake the drowsy keepers. so
that they should snuff the candles at
proper intervals.
In medieval times the usual illumi-
nant was n coal or wood fire in an open
CRATE. which rave a fairly good light on
q breezy night, For beacons on rocks
at sea candles were used. In 1923 oil
was first employed. and In 1890 the
Argand circular wick lamp with sill
vered refectors was introduced. Gas

The lights not only warn the mariner
of the proximity of the shore, but also
give him a clew as to where he Is.
This is chiefly done by dimming or

THE PRESIDENTS SECRETARY.
He Must Be a Diplomat, and His Posi-
ton IL Not an Easy One.

The duties of a secretary to a pres1-
dent Of the United States are not con-
sidered at all secondary in Importance
to those of a cabinet officer. He is the
man who first meets the thousands of
visitors to the president. He must know
just whom the president desires to see
or should see without bothering the
president. These visitors come from
all parts of the United States on all
sorts of missions, some important, but
mostly OF a very trivial character, and
they come bringing all sorts of letters
of introduction from all sorts of people.
Were the president to see all these
folks he would not have time for any,
thing else. and the secretary must win
now the wheat from the chaff and
ser the chaff away actually delighted
because they haven't seen the presi-
dent. The presidents secretary is a
buffer between his chief and the Unit
ed States senators and members OF the
house Of representatives with myria,
axes to grind. He must be a diploma.
with the most famous diplomats of the
world hen they call at the White
House to take up the time of the presi-
dent. Indeed. it has been often said In
Washington that the presidents score
tary must be as much of a diplomat as
any member of the diplomatic corps II
he is to be of substantial value to his
chief.
Again, the secretary must have rela-
tons with the hundreds of correspond
ents who represent the great newspa-
pers of the country. Public opinion is
nodded by these correspondents. and
they are keenly affirmative in their
characteristics. In their ambition to
serve their newspapers they always
know exactly why they visit the White
Frequently matters are not
exactly ripe, and it is one duty of the
presidents secretary to parry the Incl
size and probing questions of these
alert correspondents. This must be
done smilingly and in good form.
Then. too. invariably the presidents
secretary accompanies his chief on
trips through the country. Hundreds
of details come up on these tours of
which the president is not expected to
know, but it is the absolute duty of his
secretary to be familiar with them

the endorsement of the state leaders

WORK AT PUBLIC LIBRARY
IS.INCREASING RAPIDLY

So rapidly is the volume Of work
increasing at the public library that
within a short time it will be neces-
sary to add to the force looking after
the library at present. This condition
was discussed at some length at the
meeting of the library board last
Tuesday evening and it is probable
Miss Newhard will be given another
assistant. Miss Stebbins, who has
been assistant librarian, is expected
to return to the city soon. She was
called to Mortified, Minn., some time
ago by the serious illness of her
mother. With the opening of the city
schools and the organization of the
various debating club the reference
work of the library has been consider
ably increased and now demands prac-
ticall3 the entire time and attention
of one librarian from o'clock in the
afternoon until the closing hour at
night. The circulation of the library
also shows constantly increasing
growth and no town on the range is
using it's library more literally for
the purpose for which it is intended
than is Virginia at present.
