What is Gravity?

The first experiment which a
baby makes is connected with the
force of gravity. It is born with
an instructive or ancestral dread
of the unrestrained action of that
force upon its own body; and it
is said to be able to cling with
tenacity to a stick or branch of a
tree. Later on it takes pleasure
in dropping miscellaneous OBJ
jects to see them fall perhaps to
see if they all fall alike.
And a very remarkable fact it
is which is thus being observed;
Cne most familiar OF all material
facts, and one of the least under
stood least understood, that is,
of all the simple physical facts
which must surely be well with
in the limits Of human compre-
hension. For if a philosopher is
asked why all bodies tend tc
move toward the earth, and why
they all fall with steady. equa
acceleration unless retarded OF
checked somehow, he has to re
ply that. he does not know. -Sil

How the Tariff is Work
ing.

The pig iron industry in the
United States is being operated
at loss of a million dollars a
month. according to the report
of John A. Penton of Cleveland,
secretary of the American Pig
Iron Association, to the general
meeting of the association held
at New York last week. The av-
erage loss per ton on all pig iron
sold by IS per cent of the manu-
facturers and merchants north OF
the Ohio river during February
was 81. Is per ton. Untitled or
ders on the books of members of
the association March amount
ed to 1, ia, 801 tons, the report
says, and as a result of these
conditions mary furnaces have
been shut down and number OF |
the plants are in the hands Of re-
ceivers. The report protested a.
gainst the new tariff, saying that
foreign manufacturers operating
under a lower cost of production
are shipping large quantities OF
pig iron into the United States,
while the industry here is being
carried on at a heavy loss. The
wages of thousands of employees
either have been reduced or will
be reduced, the report stated, as
part of the effort to meet the sit
uation. AS to foreign competi-
ton the report says: 1--WE have
now confronting us one more
hardship in the shape of the
knowledge that foreign countries,
owing to the abolition of our tar
iff and because Of their lower
cost of production are going to
be able to ship, and are even
right now shipping and arrang-
ing to ship quantities If foreign |
