Air Particles Get Their
Force From the
Fan.

The air particles get their force
from the fan as the bullets get
theirs from the gun, and just as
the gun recoils with force equal
TO that which it imparts to the
bullets, so the fan, whether driv-
en- by electricity or steam or
turned by hand. inevitably recoils
with the same amount of force
that 1t imparts to the air.
To make clearer the compari-
son between a stream Of bullets
from a gun and a stream of wind
from an electric fan, imagine a
Maxim gun placed at the rear Of
boat and an impenetrable target
at the front, and then suppose
that the gun should hurl a con-
tinuous current of bullets against
the target. Anybody can see that
the boat would not be driven for
ward, because the recoil of the
gun would constantly force 1t
backward with the same energy
with which the bullets, striking
the target, forced 1t ahead.
But if the gun were placed on
shore or on another support Its
stream of bullets, striking the tar
get. would drive the boat forward,
because then their effect would be
like that of a wind blowing freely
across the water and having no
connection with anything on the
boat.

Emilio CASTELAR,, a
Republic Builder
BY REV. T. B. GREGORY.

tn HE fall Of the Spanish Re-
public 40 years ago mark
ed the close Of the political
career of Emilio Castelar,, the
greatest man that Spain has pro-
duced since cervantes.
Born at old Cadiz in 1888,
CASTELAR,. by the sheer force OF
genius, worked his way UP to the
very summit of popularity among
the Spanish Progressives, and,
Joining the revolutionists in 1868,
did heroic service in the cause of
the liberty 10 which he was so
ardently devoted. The revolu-
tionists condemned him to death,
but he escaped to France.
Upon the ahdication Of King
Amadeo, IN 1873, CASTELAR, became
Minister OF Foreign Affairs, and
later on President of the repub-
lie. The new constitution. pro
claimed July. 1879. was largely
the work OF CASTELAR,. II provided
for the complete separation OF
church and state. absolute free
dom OF religion. the abolition of
the nobility, universal suffrage
and equality OF taxation.
The republic lsstsd only eleven
months. from the 18th OF reoru-
airy 1874, to January 4. 1874, The
membership OF the Senate and
Congress was largely monarchical
IN sentiment, and it was the
magical eloquence OF CASTELAR,.
and that alone, that kept the re-
public alive for the few months
OF Its checkered existence

There Is one effect Of the cleo
trio fan which might surprise you
it would tend to drive your boat
backward instead of forward. It
would push against air like the
propeller of an aeroplane, and to
make It drive your boat forward
you would have to face the fan
around. so that its reaction would
be upon the atmosphere behind
instead Of ahead Of the boat, and
In either case your sail would be
not only useless but an encum-
brance.

tETF an electric fan could be
L made large enough to
throw a sufficient amount
OF wind to move a small sailboat,
and such a fan was placed on the
end of boat with the wind from
the fan blowing against the sail
on the very boat the fan is on, Is
1t possible that it could move the
boat? The argument is that the
fan, being on the same boat as
the sail, can not move itself. But
as the air detaches itself from
the fan and hits the sail, my idea
is that 1t can, provided it ha, tho
strength to move the boat. Please
give an answer"
This question is worth answer
ing, for two reasons: First, be-
cause It is a woman who asks It:
and second, because 1t involves a
principle Of physics that ought to
be universally understood. and
ignorance of which may lead to
the waste of both time and money
upon inventions that will not
work.
The writer OF the question
thinks that because the air. as she
expresses 1t, Is detached from"
the fan when 1t starts off to
strike the sail, 1t ought to act like
an ordinary wind and push the
boat before it. But she would
not think so If she reflected that
the particles of air driven from
the fan resemble a swarm of bull
let's shot from a gun.

The ceremonies of baptism with

the church are of apostolic tradi-

Catholic church. according to the
form prescribed by the Sacred Con-

The profession of faith was made by
Mr.. Lorimer with his hand touching

this profession are:

AsQuith has promised concessions
this week to the Ulster faction. The
promise is a repetition of the pro-
posal to exclude the Ulster counties
from the working Of the Home Rule
Bill in Ireland for a period of six
years. What effect this may have
upon the Bill is as yet very question
able. After the struggle is practical
ly won-and the government sue
ceeded in weathering the crisis in the
army, the Offering of concessions
will not be received with very good
grace by the Nationalists. No ener-
gy has been spared to wear out the
patience and endurance of the gov

it is plain that a denial Of conces-
