Aviator Falls 10000 Feet
in About Twenty
five Seconds

From a height of 1000 feet he
will come down in about eight
seconds, and will strike the
ground with velocity OF about
256 feet per second. From
height of 10000 feet he would
fall in about rs seconds. and
would strike with a velocity of
400 feet per second.
The same kind of calculation
can be applied TO the gravitation
between the earth and the moon.
If the moon were not in motion
across the direction of the earth's
pull" it would fall to the earth
in about l16 hours.
Now, to return to the mystery.
how is this force exerted? Is it
really a pull, as it seems to bes
The answer to which science is
tending is that, instead Of being
a pull, gravitation is a push; in
other words, that the falling
aeronaut is pushed toward the
ground and the moon is pushed
toward the earth
On the face of it, one might
think that nothing was gained by
this theory, because it seems as
impossible that a push should be
exerted without tangible con-
nection as a pull. But the clew
is found in the supposed proper
ties of that invisible, intangible,
all pervading medium called the
ether.
This, to be sure, is explaining
one mystery by another, for we
know nothing about the ether
except that it conveys the waves

any rate, it affords conceivable

no space to go into this explana-
ton, which has recently been de-
vcloped by DIR. Charles F. Brush,
but an idea of its nature may be
formed from the statement that
it regards the ether as being
filed with peculiar form OF
waves, and that material bodies
may intercept these waves in
such a way as to be pushed to-
ward one another on account OF
the diminished effect Of the ether
waves in the space between the
bodies.

By GARRETT P. SERVISS

THE mystery of mysteries in
science is the attraction OF
gravitation-that very force
of nature that is the most ia
nliliar to us ALL
It seems strange that the most
familiar thing in the world
should be, at the same time, the
most inexplicable-but SO it is.
In order to see clearly wherein
the mystery consists, let US first
consider what gravitation ap-
pears to be. 1t is gravitation
that gives the property of weight
to all bodies If there were no
gravitation, we could float like
thistledowns. and infinitely bet
ter than thistledowns; for they,
too, are finally brought down by
gravitation.
1t is gravitation that brings a
cannon ball eventually to the
earth, no matter how swiftly it
may be projected. The faster it
starts the farther it will go, but
during every second of its fight
it drops the same distance verti-
cally toward the earth, whether
the speed impaired to it by the
powder is 500 Or 5000 feet per
second. Gravitation acts on
moving body exactly as we'll as
on one at rest.
1t is grayitation that curbs the
motion Of the moon and keeps it
in an orbit of which the earth is
the active focus.

So 80 THE THIEF
BY WILLIAM F. KIRK

r SAW them taking him away;
I The old judge sentenced him today
Ten years behind the walls of gray.
He did not shudder and implore.
AS he had shuddered years before;
He snarled and spat upon the floor
The prison with its shadows grim
Had been a sort of home for him
Since he was young and starved and slim
He cursed the great, the roaring town,
Where all he looked for was frown.
He cursed the hounds who ran him down
Ten years to uluttcr in cell;
Ten years of stripes; ten years of hell
And yet he whispered "It is wellr'

snonne az an Animal.

Nothing is less like a living crea-
ture than the common bath sponge,
vet the fact remains that sponges do
form a very important species OF the
animal kingdom. eating their food
and living their lives much as
other animal would do.
The actual existence of a sponge
commences with the separation from
the parent of a tiny particle. This
particle, whirling through space, event
ually attaches itself to a piece OF
rock, and from that time it seeks its
own livelihood.
At the very commencement, with
some species Of the sponge family.
the baby sponges feed upon yolk cells,
in which are stored food supplies. By
and-by. as the youngster develops. the
currents In the water sweep into a
kind OF bag the minute particles Of
food required, and the same currents
carry OF undigested matter.
There are many varieties OF sponges

keep still. If they were assured he
