EccENTRIcITY or GENIUS.
h tho Days That Are Gone II May
Have Been Due 10 Eye Strain.

h tho Days That Are Gone u May
Have Been Due TO Eye Strain.
1t seems that at last genius Is dis
covered not to be allied to insanity. but
that rather all it's eccentricities are due
10 eye strain.
Brain specialists. for instance. are as
sorting that It Carlyle had had proper
" adjusted glasses and good electric
light to work BY instead OF q skylight
over bis desk. and that illumined by a
London fog much of the time, he
would not have been such a grumbIer
and dyspeptic. In fact. eye strain was
the cause of all his eccentricities.
All geniuses. In fact, would have
been optimistic. says science now, IL
they had only had bifocal glasses at
the right fine. The same unnQrmai
eyesight Is given as the cause of many
tragic paintings That famous artist,
Turner. would never have painted the
slave ship In a storm, but would rather
have depicted the peaceful landscapes
that SO many artists paint when their
eyes are properly fitted with glasses.
Wagner. too. " be had worn the cor
rect spectacles and had had that decid-
I'd tilt to one eye remedted, probably
would never have written about Wal
kyrie and dragons. but would have
written pleasant dances and even
ragtime instead
Darwin also was another victim OF
eye strain. Doubtless he would never
have given to the world his theory Of
evolution which stirred society mp II
his eyes had been normal.
De Quincy suffered from bad eyes.
Surely he would never have taken
opium If he had had glasses. But
then. on the other hand, the world
would have missed his opium dreams.
And, after all is considered, scientists
conclude society could better dispense
with spectacles than with geniuses.--

SCIENCE AND SPINNING A TOP.

SCIENCE AND SPINNING A TOP.
That the Earth Revolvss on Its Axis
May Be Proved BY Simple Experi-
ment With the cyrostat-P henonena
Of Rapidly Revolving Objects.
Spinning top is not always child's
play. although It has generally been re-
garded as juvenile sport. Once In
England top whipping was practically
ordered by law. There was huge
top formerly provided In every village
to be whipped in frosty weather that
the peasants might be kept warm by
the exercise and out Of mischief while
they could not work. Shakespeare In
Twelfth Night" says. His brains
turn like a parish top" Ben Jonson
in New Inn" writes. "He spins like
a parish top" and Beaumont and
Fletcher have dances like town top
and reels and hobbies" Evelyn, the
diarist, speaking Of the uses Of willow
wood. says that 1t was ordered that
the great town tops should be made
thereof
OF late years, however, science has
taken hand in spinning tops with
fruitful results. From spinning tops
we can learn many interesting and
valuable things. For example, we can
prove that the earth revolves on its
axis and calculate at what speed.
The phenomena of spinning bodies
are extremely interesting. If you throw
your hat into the air, but without spin
ming 1t, 1t win fall perhaps on one side,
perhaps on the other, but IL you give u
q. spinning motion before sending It
jGto the air 1t viii always come down
the same side down as it went up. The
same thing is true OF coins and In fact
OF all objects spun in this manner. A
knife. If merely thrown into the air,
may come down at any angle, but If
held point down and sent spinning into
the air it win on falling stick its point
into the floor invariably.
Other bodies acquire rigidity when
spun rapidly. Thus a piece Of chain
IL placed on wheel and made to re-
voIve rapidly viii form perfect circle
and II thrown or the wheel suddenly
will roll across the table or the floor
just like solid hoop until its speed Is
diminished. when 1t will fall into q
huddled mass
It is a strange fact that spinning
bodies always tend to point to the
north star-the pole star. Gently, but
firmly, they seem to tug at their moor
ings in an EFFORT to assume the angle
that VIII point them in that direction.
Once they have attained 1t they do not
vary.
If. now. you want to prove the rota-
ton OF the earth by means OF spin
ming top You can do so as follows:
Provide yourself with gyrostat capa-
Bile Of being driven BY electricity 80
that it can run for twenty -four hours
or more without stopping. Set this go
ing and point 1t to the north or pole
star II win soon assume that direc-
ton. Now, as the axis Of the top Is
pointed In certain direction (say the
north wall Of the room and stays

that in case Of war with Mexico
