STOPPING THE EARTH.
It Would Generate Heat Enough to

The stopping of projectile always
results in the generation of heat The
velocity and weight Of n projectile be

opcd by its stoppage can be calculated
In the case of large bodies moving
rapidly the result of the calculation IS
something astounding.
For example, the earth weighs COCO
O00O0o.000 tons and travels in its or
bit at the rate of over eighteen mile
4 second. Should it strike target
strong enough to stop its motion the
heat developed by the shock would Ii

TWO Waterloos.

1t is a very curious fact that a good
many people DO not know that two
battles were fought Mt Waterloo. Both
OF these were fought against the
French. the first under the command
of the Duke OF Marlborough on Aug.
Il, 1909. Who on this date actually oc-
cupied the same ground us the Duke Of
Wellington did Il little more than Il
century later, June Il. 1915. the only
difference being that the former was
marching OH Brussels and the latter
was marching from Brussels. In the
FIRST battle the French We're defending
Brussels. They marched out TO meet
Marlborough. but owing to the slack
ness on TIE part of Schlangenburg, the
Dutch general. who was fighting with
him. il was not success, Marlborough
only taking few Of the French troops
as prisoners. The following one, fought
against Napoleon by Wellington, proved
to be one Of the greatest victories ever
recorded in the annals of England.

DUTCH BELTED CATTLE.
Once Nearly Exterminated, They Are
Now Bred by the Nobility.

Dutch belted cattle originated in
Holland several hundred years ago.
At the time of the great Holland wars
they were nearly eXterminated by the
invading armies, and the few that re-
manned became the property of the no
bility, who have bred them pure ever
since, but do not willingly part with
them They are known III Holland as
Veldlargers, which name means wrap
ped around with sheet"
In color they are black, with Il band
of pure white entirely around the body.
They may also have white fore feet,
white hind feet and legs up to the
ganibrels and white switch. The
belt varies in width On some it is
but few inches wide. On Others it
reaches back on the hips and forward
on the shoulders. Usually it covers the
body from just in front of the hips
nearly to the shoulders.
They have the prominent eyes, thin
neck silky hair. soft skin, elevated
TANKS. broad hips. long. slim tails,
shapcly well placed udders, prominent
milk veins and so called milk form.

They are very tame and docile, hardy

Monday morning is a hard test for

have been better if he had let CorTi-
den take the ball. But Heinie show
ed he was Herewith the right stuff in
trying for anything that came in his
vicinity.
Ask any manager and he will tell
you he prefers the fellow who goes
after anything and makes errors to
the boy who accepts only the balls
that it is impossible for him to escape
responsibility for.
Now that the Cubs are hammering
along, close on the tail of the Giants,
Zim has become infused with the
hustling spirit and he is working
lot harder than he did earlier in the
season. This enthusiasm is going to
cause him to make a few errors, but
it will also result in many outs.
So long as Zim tries he should not
be criticized. He will be successful
on more plays than he misses.
A lot depends on the next three
days for the Cubs. Four games will
be played, including one this after
noon in Pittsburgh. In the mean
time, the Giants will be engaging in
three battles. Should the Cubs take
all of their battles and the Giants drop
one the West Siders then would be
only two games back of the New
Workers, and that is slight handicap,
with the advantage to the locals of a
long home series.

SNAIL INSTITUTIONS BEST

institution" said A. P. Nelson,
banker at Grantsburg, Wis, and
vice-president of the board of re-
gents of the state university of
Wisconsin. Mr.. Nelson said
these words recently at chapel
at Hamline university, from
which institution he was grad
uated in '97.
''The attitude toward the small
college taken by Mr.. Nelson is
that of many other authorities

ances are of special interest to
high school students who con-
template entering some college
after graduation.
"Mr. Nelson stated that one of
the reasons for preferring a
smaller college was that the ply
steal development was much
more easily acquired in a small
Ter college than at a large uni
versity, irrespective of the
money and attention paid to ath-
letics in the larger places of
learning.

THREAT OF

Gen. Bliss Will Act Unless
Border Is Made
Safe

Washington, Dec. l2.-Orders to Gen
eral Maytorena to cease firing at Naco
unless it can be continued without en-
dangering the lives of Americans on this
side of the border were sent by Provi-
sional President Gutierrez of Mexico yes
terday in response to the demands of the
United States.
American officials had declared that the
firing across the international boundary
there or at any other point must be
stopped. General Tasker Bliss, now in
personal command at Naco, Ariz., wired
the war department that conditions there
were quiet. The official warning sent TO
Carranza at Vera Cruz through Consul
Canada to control his troops under Gen
eral Hill ana to General Gutierrez at
Mexico City to check Governor Maytor-
ena was expected to be effective.
1t is certain that if any additional
stray shots carry across the line and in
lure Americans, General Bliss will act.
Every official of the administration
from the president down is convinced
that the firing of few cannon shots In
ahe general ulrecIloh Vi the Whiting MEX
hcan factions at Naco, Sonora, would have
good effect on any further fighting
along the border. 1t would be in no way
an act of war, officials explain, and would
hardly even be considered an act of re-
prisal. But it would have the effect of
convincing the Mexicans generally that
the United States is determined to pro-
tect her own citizens.
kilograms from Consul Silliman at
Mexico City state that General Gutierrez
is in complete control and is going ahead
with the task of creating a permanent |
government. Villa and Zapata, he wires,
are still in the capital completing their
plans for a campaign against Vera Cruz
should the negotiations now in progress
for a peaceful settlement fail.
