AIR HARDER THAN ROCK.
Atmosphere Does Not Yield When
Dynamite Is Exploded.

Dynamite affords a means of proving
that thereeare times when air is harder
,han rock, and that such times are
during the fraction Of an instant when
the dynamite is exploding. Place some
ordinary black gunpowder upon a rock
and set it off with fuse. The result
is only flash and puff of smoke
into the air, while the rock is merely
blackened by the flame.
Now place d stick OF dynamite upon
the same rock and set it eff. Instead Of
flashing into the air as the powder did.
it will actually shatter the rock, If even
there is nothing about the dynamite to
bind it down or retain it.
1t is for this reason that the common
belief used to be held, and is held by
many today, in fact that dynamite,
unlike other things, will follow the line
OF the greatest resistance. But this is
really not true The laws of nature
are to follow the lines of least resist
anCe, and dynamite docs exactly TINS
by crashing through the rock instead
of into the air, because for the momenl
conditions are such that the rock u
really the line OF the least resistance,
the air about it being harder during
that fraction of an instant when the
explosion occurs ass
The black powder takes fire and eN-
plodes much more slowly than the dy-
Mantle, so that the elastic air that IN
closes il. as it does everything, gives
way gradually and the force is lost
in the atmosphere. With dynamite the
explosion has been SO sudden, the at
tack on the air SO instantaneous. that
for "a fraction Of a second 1t actually
resistS.
The force of the dynamite is SO ire
mendous that it cannot wait and 1t IS
turned into the rock, which, for the m
stant, becomes the line of least resist
ance.
An Illustration of this may be seer
during a display of lightning. a fork
of it strikes across the sky. 1t packs
the air so densely that it can no long
Ell make rapid progress in that direc-
ton. and it turns aside to follow the
line of least resistance. 1t cannot wal
for the air to yield. 1t is the same VIII

Considerable therapeutic value Is
said to be attached to the combination
of light, heat and vacuum applied
to the human anatomy. The appara-
tus is electrical in its operation and
consists of cup with an electric lamp
fitted into the affected parts. The
suction removes Accommodations from
the pores which are not reached In any
other manner. and the light and heat
have stimulating effect and the COM
bination is particularly effective in ca
ses of skin diseases. The Application
draws the blood to the surface. the
blood picks up waste matter that the
suction does not get and carries them
to the various excretory organs, such
as the liver. kidneys and lungs, where,
in one form and another, they are
eliminated from the body. 1t also
brings to the diseased part substances
for building up new tissue and healing
the wound The circulation of the
blood in the diseased areas is especial
~ stimulated by sucessively applying
and withdrawing the suction cup.
