How Bodies Fall.

Answering the question. "Why is 1t
that falling bodies In the air manage
TO reach a spot directly below them
e the earth is in continual motion r.
Edgar Lucien Larkin. in the New York
American, says:
'sThey do not fall on a spot ex-
Rctly below the point where released

the dome Of the capitol at Washington.

ton monument, and drop an absolutely
round ball In absolutely still air. and
1t win strike the floor slightly to the
east Of the precise vertical. The earth
revolves from west to east, therefore

wider circles than do their bottoms,
hence move faster. The ball, having
motion Of starting point, falls to the

EARLY use Of Tin.

The tin used In the composition of
bronzes from Assyria was probably
obtained from Phoenicia, and it is be-
ieved that this was exported 5000
years ago from the British isles.
The Assyrians appear to have made
an extensive use Of this metal, and
the degree of perfection which. the
making Of bronze had then reached
clearly shows that they must have
been long experienced in the use Of It.
They appear to have received what
they used from the Phoenicians. Some
think the Celtic tribes were acQuaint-
ed with this metal previously to the
arrival of the Phoenicians upon those
shores.
It is said that the Phoenicians were
Indebted to the Tyrian Hercules for
their trade in tin.-Philadelphia In

Railway Travel In Germany.

~~s
Praise of railway travelling facilities
In Germany is given by Miss Norma
Lorimer In her book, "By the Waters
Of Germany"
Although we were only travelling
third class we had little tables to eat
at, and the upholstered seats were
wide and well adapted to suit the COM
fort of women. was thank
full on that hot day that the seat was
free from any kind of upholstering and
for the fresh air installation, which Is
fixed In the roof, along with the elec-
tric light. One Of the other good points
about German railway travelling is that
a stewardess attends to the comfort of
the passengers on board just as a
ships stewardess does at sea. She
tides up the carriages after messy
meals have been eaten from baskets
= until it is no difficult matter to
arrive at the end Of a long days jour
ney In almost as dustless and fresh a
condition as one started out"

The Meaning Of Literature.

When we treat English authors as
mere entertainers whose business it Is
to provide elegant amusement for our
idle hours we are guilty Of a miscon-
ception as to the meaning of literature
which is denounced specifically or i'm
plicitly by every great critic In our
language and which is certain to pre-
vent all or almost all the possible good
results Of our study. The answer Is to
get entirely away from that theory Of
literature and to realize that the poets
and novelists and essayists are men
who are trying to unity and explain
life to us and to give us the zest for It
which their divine vision has brought to
them. We must face literature square,
ly, recognize in 1t a record of the
meaning of our civilization and with
out confusing it for moment with
history or philosophy give full weight
to its historical and social and philo-
sophical bearings. Finally, in order to
give our students any love of literature
which win be more serious than All
Idle Irritation, we must make plain to
them that their first business is not to
appreciate" but to understands At
lantic.

A Xii Carson incident.

Kit Carson received his only sever0
wound when he was twenty-three
years old, and in especially honorable
fashion. The Blackfeet Indians had
rushed herd of horses and run away
with most of it. After sharp pursuit
through the snow by thirty Of the trap
pers the thieves were overtaken and
q parley held. The Blackfeet argued
that they thought they were robbing
their enemies, the Snakes, and not
their friends" the Americans. This
was only ruse, and after the savages,
In lordly manner, had brought out I've
Of the poorest horses and offered them
in full settlement the council broke up
In general rush for weapons. The
fight was from behind trees and rocks.
One OF the trappers had trouble with
the lock of his gun. Carson saw the
eiflculty and quickly changed his aim
irom his particular adversary to the
one that was threatening his COM
panion. The shift saved the mans
life, but Carson received bullet in
his left shoulder. This wound, added
to the inferior numbers of the trap
pers, forced them to withdraw without
attaining their end.-Kit Carson Days.

London's 1eIlmen.

Other bells than those attached to
churches used to disturb the slumbers
Of Londoners. Prior to the institution
Of watchmen every parish had its bell
man, who used to stalk the streets all
night. At irregular intervals he would
ring his bell loudly and cry out, 'Take
care Of your fire and candle, be chari-
table to the poor and pray for the
dead" If he met any malefactor he
rang increasingly until the neighbor-
hood was reused to his assistance. A
copy OF verses published in 1888 by
Isaac Bagg, "BeIlman In the Parish
Of St Giles In the Fields" describes
his duties as:
To see your doors and windows all are
fast
And that no villainy or foul crime be done
To you or yours In the absence Of the sun.
II any base lurker do meet
In private alley or in open street
You shall have warning by my timely CALI

At the beginning of President Wilson's
administration Congressman Stephens OF
the Third Nebraska district, announced
that open primary elections would be
held for the selection of postmasters in
the towns in his congressional district.
As the democrats were in power nation
ally, Congressman Stephens announced
that only democrats could be candidates
for the position of postmaster, but all
patrons of the Office would be entitled 10
express their choice and that he would
recommend for appointment the demo-
cratic candidate receiving the highest
number Of votes for postmaster in the
primaries in their respective towns.
Despite the violent opposition OF the
old-line politicians, who saw these rich
political plums slipping from their grasp,
the plan was followed throughout the
district. The disapp ,inted self-consti-
tnted bosses swore vengeance against
Congressman Stephens for giving the pa
irons of the Office chance TO select their
postmaster by popular vote. They put 4
nominee on the ticket in opposition to
him when he sought reelection this II.
But the voters showed their endorsement
of the selection of postmasters by popu-
lar choice, as Congressman Stephens was
reelected By q larger majority than ever,
In fFee of opposition Of party bosses.
