CRlTIciSlNG A CRITIC.
Points For the Purist Who Found
Flaws In cray's "Elegy."

To look for and find in masterpieces
little flaws, real or imagined. is an oc-
cupation that must have it's mysterious
joys otherwise. as it brings no profit,
the task would not command all the
time and labor that are devoted to it,,
nor would every such discovery be SO
exultingly proclaimed. This condition
is based, or rather, its repetition. by
the letter in which correspondent
confessed that. having heard verbal
perfection ascrlbed to Gray's "Elegy,"
he was moved carefully to examine the
verses Oh the chance Of proving this
praise undeserveG Ard he did he
thinks. having found no less than two
errors IN the lines:
Their name, their years. spelt by the M
letteTed muse
The place of fame and elegy supply,
And many a holy text around she strews
To teach the rustic moralist to die.
Name" should be names" this au-
thOrity declares, for the reason that
the stones bore not one but several
names, and many a holy text" being
singular, demands teaches" instead of
"teach!"
Now, just why Gray put the word
name" in the singular and not in the
piGra might be made the subject Of in
gemous inquiry, with any one Of half a
dozen sufficient explanations as recon-
pense and all inconclGsive, but to see
force in the diversity Of village patro-
nymics- that requires more than inge-
nuity; it demands perversity. AS for

the grammarians say, insist that

lar. Even the grammarians admit

COURSE OF A PITCHED BALL
Why a Straight Fast One Jumps Side =
ways In the Air.

Why a Straight Fast One Jumps Side
ways In the Air,
That pitched baseball curves in the
direction in which the nose Of the bail
is moving because of The spin upward
II the twist given by the pitcher is up
ward. toward the right If the twist -
to the right and so on-is matter OF
experience that Is quite comprehensi-
bile. but how hard pitched ball should
jump sidewise in most irregular
manner, although pitched straight
without spinning is certainly puzzling
In the journal of the Franklin Insti-
tute Professor w S. Franklin OF LIE
high university eXpOunds the phenome-
non as well as the philosophy of twist
ed balls Multitudes Of fans" who
have always supposed that the battling
qualities of a straight pitched ball
were due simply to its swiftness never
suspected this eccentrlcity. Professor
Franklin states the case in this way:
Consider very smooth ball which is
moving through still water without
spinning. There is certainly no more
reason why the ball should jump TO
the right than to the left Therefore il
must continue to move straight for
ward. That is good logic. But such a
ball is no more subject TO logic than is
n sharp stick. The fact is that the bali
does jump sidewise and in a most ir-
regular manner. This may be shown
by dropping Il smooth marble in a jar
OF still water The marble goes nearly
straight for several inches and then
suddenly jumps sidewise. Similarly a
smooth baseball jumps sidewise irreg-
ularly as il moves through the mir II
the ball is not spinning.
The explanation lies in the fact that
n rapidly moving stream Of air splits
when ii flows past a BAN with unstable
dividing lines or vortex sheets. The
unstable sheet will spurt now upward.
HOW downward The condition is the
same when the bah splits the air and
is Shuiaed in a CHANGING manner past
the bat The only requisite for this
battling effect is power in the pitchers
arm.

Should a regional bank desire to
pay out more money than its cash re-
sources will permit, the law provides
that it may put some of it's rediscount-
ed commercial paper into the hands
of the federal reserve agent" and re-
ceived in return the new treasury
notes.
For each note that 1t puts out into
circulation, the regional reserve bank
must set aside in gold 40 per cent. of
the value of the note as a guarantee
for its redemption. This gold, with
the commercial paper held by the
federal reserve agent" Is the pro-
lection behind the new money; but
these notes will also be guaranteed by
the government and may be redeemed
in gold in the United States treasury,
Reserve Required.
Each regional bank, under the act.
must keep a reserve of 35 per cent. Of
the deposits 1t has received, besides
the 40 per cent. gold reserve behind
the treasury notes it issues. If the
gold reserve behind the notes falls be-
low 40 per cent. heavy tax is i'm
posed on the bank, which in turn adds
the tax to the rate it charges member
banks for rediscounts This was de-
signed to stop an over-eXpansion Of
currency. In times Of sudden stress
the federal reserve board can suspend
these reserve provisions, in order to
furnish quick relief to any commu-
nifty.
Take Up Bonds.

rency except the national bank notes

cure the issue of national bank notes,
are to be taken up at the rate of $685.

The federal reserve board will exer-

one regional bank to loan to another
in time Of need; can suspend all re-

Regional Reserve Banks.
These immense funds of reserves

Character of Paper.
The exact terms of this important
provision as to the character of paper
upon which the regional reserve banks
may furnish cash are as follows:
Upon the Endorsement of any of its
member banks, with waiver of de-

act.
EIlgible for Discount.
Nothing in this act contained shall
be construed to prohibit such notes,
drafts and bills of exchange, secured
