Can you inform me why fly in
fast moving train maintains its posi-
ton in the air and is not forced to
the rear of the car by the steady
forward motion? INQUISITIVE.
The fly is not drawn forward or
out as train moves because the air
contained in the car is in motion at
the same time that the car is NOV
ing. This is explained scientifically
as being due to inertia.

When / place basin of clear water
directly under a gaslight I notice
bright spot of light on the bottom
and naturally infer that when the
light passes through a bubble on the
surface the convex surface of the
bubble acts the same as a convex
lens. When / rest my finger on the
bottom of the basin the bright spot
appears on it, but when | slowly
raise my finger beneath the bubble
the spot of light changes to a dark
shadow when my finger comes within
about an inch and a half of the
bubble. What is the reason for this?
READER.
I would say that the reason the
light appears on the finger at the
bottom of the basin is as stated, be-
cause the surface acts as lens ana
concentrates the light beams at the
bottom of the basin. On the other
hand, the reason the dark spot APP
pears on the finger at other points
even in line with the light rays, is
because the light beams or rays do
not come together, or to a focus, at
any point other than the point at
which the concentration of light
beams takes place. Hence darkness
or shadow is the result at points be-
tween the focal point and the sur
face of the lens.
