Baltimore. April 6.-Attracted by the
prospect of turning a few additional PEN

Giants out to a park seven miles from

Gravitation Governs the
Earth's Motion
Around Sun

So, too, it is gravitation that
governs the earth in its motion
around the sun, preventing it
from flying away into boundless
space. Astronomy shows that
gravitation acts between ali the
planets and all the stars and
controls their motions with re-
spect to one another.
Now, this mysterious force ap-
pears to be an attraction, as if
there were elastic cords connect
ing all the bodies in space and
tending to draw them together.
But space, as far as our senses
can detect, is empty. There are
no elastic cords and no physical
connections whatever between
astronomical bodies, or between
a flying stone, or cannon ball,
and the earth. How, then, can
there be an attraction? In order
that body may be attracted or
drawn, there must be something
to draw it. Gravitation does the
trick, but completely hides from
us the mechanism through which
it acts. We can discover no
mechanism at all.
When an unfortunate aeroplan-
ist drops from his machine at a
height of 1000 feet, he begins at
once to fall toward the earth, as
if it were pulling him; but how
can it pull if it has nothing to
pull with? You may think at
first sight that it is the air which
acts as an Intermediary; but that
is not SO, because the earth and
the moon pull" upon one an
