GAS OR INDIGESTION
The moment "Pape's Dia-
pepsin" reaches the stom-
ach all distress gees

Do some foods you eat hit back
taste good, but work badly; ferment
into stubborn Jumps and cause a sick,
sourn, gassy stomach? Now, Mr.. or
Mrs. Dyspeptic, jot this down;
Pape's Diapepsin digests everything,
leaving nothing to sour and upset you.
There never was anything so safely
quick, 80 certainly effective. No diff
ference how badly your stomach il dis
ordered you will get happy relief in
five minutes, but what pleases you most
Is that it strengthens and regulates
your stomach 80 you can eat your ia
vorite foods without fear.
Most remedies give you relief some
times-they are slow, but not sure.
'Pape's Diapepsin" is quick, positive
and puts your stomach in healthy
condition 30 the misery won't come
back.
You feel different as soon as ''Pape's
Diapepsin" comes in contact with the
stomach-distress just vanishes
stomach gets sweet, no gases, no belch-
ing, no eructations of undigested food,
your head clears and you feel fine.
Go now, make the best investment
you ever made, by getting a large
fifty-cent case of Pape's Diapspsin
from any drug store. You realize in
five minutes how needless it is to
suffer from indigestion, Dyspepsia or
any stomach disorder.

ARcHIMEDES AND HIS LEVER.
The Feat Of Raising the Earth From
Scientific Viewpoint,

Give me fulcrum and place on
which to stand and will raise the
earth, from its place. That is a say
ing popularity attributed to .Arcirimcdes
If the required conditions We're posi-
bic the feat might be performed but
In addition 10 providing ftleYuH and
place on which to stand Archimedes
would also have TO be furnished an in
definite lease of life.
To raise the earth height of one
inch by the force which Archimedes
would have been capable of exerting
would take not only an extremely long
lever but an extremely long time, as
can be readily shown.
We shall assume the following data
in our calculation: That the earth is
Il sphere 1926 miles in, diameter and
that 80 is its mean density; also that
1 the lever has no weight. Should we
design real lever ii would be of such
enormous size and weight that Ar
chimedes weight would be a negligible
quantity.
If the earth is 1926 miles in dame
ter the volume is about 26l 600 100000
cubic miles. or 3S,400, 900, DOC. 600 .000,-
100000 cubic feet, and If the density
is 80 the weight per cubic foot would
be about 344 pounds. which multiplied
by the volume would give as the
weight of the earth Is, 209, 600, 600 000,-
DOC, 900. 900 900 pounds. We shall as
.sume, further. that Archimedes weigh.

which to stand" was some distant

To move the earth a distance of one

Row. If Archimedes should take hold
of the end of the lever and apply his
weight of 100 pounds to II and should
move off into space with the velocity

FALLING A MILE.
Curious Effect on Dropping Rocks Down
Deep Mine Shaft.


In reference TO the deep mine shafts
ut Calumet some experiments conduct
ed by members Of the faculty of the
Michigan College of Mines are inter
esting. 1t had been noticed that in
! the vertical shafts at the Tamaracl;
mine if some ore or rock were spilled
near the surface men working in the
bottom of the shaft mile below were
not much bothered and sometimes
only observed "a little dust" 1t is
stated that Il ear Of broken rock could
be dumped into the shaft without in.
Jury to man standing directly under.
meath mile down.
The reason Is that the rock would
never reach the bottom, but would
lodge in the sides OF the Shaft on the
timbers that protrudc few inches at
intervals--that is. the rock would not
fall straight, since these shafts are
exactly vertical.
In the experiments conducted two
round metal balls were dropped inta
the center of shaft by burning
threads by which they were suspend.
cd, so as to give them no lateral mo.
! ton. 1t was tried TO catch. the balls
in box OF clay in the bottom of the
shaft None Of them was caught Ono
bali was never found afterward. The
other was found in the east wall of the
shaft only few hundred feet below
the surface.
The explanation is that the earth is
revolving from west TO east. which
gave the bah an eastward component
in its fall because q particle on the
surface Of the earth Is travelling at n
higher rate of speed than one nearer
The center, although at the same angu.
lar velocity. Thus ball or rock drop
ped in the shaft will strike the east
wall few hundred feet from the sur
face. possibly then rebounding several
times In its drop until it lodges on
