Our First Cent.

The first American cent was struck
off and put in circulation in 1IS3. Pre-
vious to that date pattern pieces had
been made. but they were experiments
only and were never put In circulation.
The so called Washington cents, which
existed previous to the date above CIV
Ell. were not issued by the government
and were. therefore. only medals. The
cent of 1893 was very similar to the
large copper cents Of later date, with
the exception that the face of Liberty
was turned to the right and the legend
zone Cent was inclosed in a chain of
thirteen links.

Two Speeds In Same Wheel.

The top of carriage wheel in pass
ing along the road moves more quickly
through the atmosphere than the bot.
tom. This sounds absolutely foolish.
but 1t is absolutely sound. 1t is due to
the movable axis. or axle. The top of
the wheel has forward motion plus for
ward revolution. The bottom of the
wheel has the same forward motion
minus backward revolution. - London

HARDNESS OF WATER.
Solid strssms at High Velocity Are as
Rigid as Iron.


Rigid as Iron.
In the American Magazine contrib
utor gives a most interesting descrip.
tion of the resisting power Of water.
He says that a solid stream Of water
shot out of hose at tremendous We
locity is just as powerful and destruc-
tive as a rod of iron. An extract from
the article giving an idea Of the hard
ness and resisting power of water fol-
lows:
Here is a fact which is probably
novel to the average man who has not
spent much of his life thinking about
motor speed boats. This is what we
may call the hardness Of the water
when boat is running at speed.
Water at fifty miles an hour is not the
limpid liquid we are accustomed to
bathe in. If you put your arm over
board from a hydroplane running at
fifty miles an hour and strike wave
crest the probability is that you will
break your arm or wrist, because at
that speed the water has not time to
give, not time even to change shape,
and striking it is like striking so much
metal.
"In the great hydraulic mining noz-
zles, where a stream Of water under
enormous head is used to wash down
hillsides, a swordsman, in attempting
to cut into one of these streams. will
shatter the sword without being able
to penetrate the water. The stream is
like bar Of iron. The fact that water
at relative speed is so hard-or that Its
inertia is so great, to be little more
accurate-is the reason why skipping
stone travels over the surface and II
the reason why hydroplane boa
slides over the surface instead Of plow
ing its way through.
"The picture we must have in ou
minds, then. of a speed boat is that sh
is travelling not in water, as we or
dinarily understand 1t. but over tn
surface Of semisolid. very much as
sled travels over snow."

FREAKS IN BASEBALL.
Apparently Clever Plays May Some
times Be Pure Luck.

Apparently Clever Plays May Some
times Be Pure Luck.
Freak plays make baseball humor-
GUS, il not interesting. Some of these
plays are said to be the result of quick
thinking; but, as matter of fact, most
of them are simply luck.
Curious things happen. A ball fell
into a tin can, and, 1t being impossible
to get it out in time, can and all were
thrown to tie baseman. Another ball
hit the end Of a nail driven through
the opposite side of fence and could
not be got down until all the runners
scored.
A swift hit, glances off the pitchers
hand, is snapped up by an infielder and
thrown to first putting the man out
Red hot liners or grOunders some
times hit the first or third base bag
and glance away for singles or even
two baggers.
The shortest two bagger known was
when the ball grazed the bat shot ur
| few feet and fell in front OF the
plate. AS the catcher reached for the
twirling ball it glanced from his glove
and bounded back to the stand, anC
the batter made second easily.
A center fielder saw NIT In th'
way of the shortstop and walked abou
sixty feet in to move it out of the wa!
when he heard the crack Of the ba
and saw a hot ball coming straight a
him. He could do nothing but try t
catch it and did to his surprise. Blu
be was given credit by the crowd 70
being a great student Of batters.-Al
thur Macdonald in American Physica
Education Review.
