DISTANCE A GUN CAN SHOOT.
Main Factors Are Initial Velocity ard
Anqle of Elevation.

The distance shot can he thrown
depends primarily on two thinSs-tlle
velocity with which it leaves the muz-
zle and the angle OF elevation above
the horizontal. Other things affect it
also, but these two are ali important.
or course a light Shell will lose its We
locity quicker than a heavy one, for it
has less stored up energy to overcome
the friction of the air. Temperature
and the humidity of the air both have
their effect. But the two great fea
lures are initial velocity and angle of
elevation.
Any one who throws ball knows
that it is higher near the center of its
flight than at either end The farther
it is thrown the higher it Is at the cen
ter. 1t was long ago found that any
projectile to reach Il maximum range
must be thrown at about forty-fiye de-
grees above the horizontal. This ap

pound shell. If il is thrown higher 1t
falls short in distance, for too much of
our effort has been expended in giving
it height. If thrown lower gravita-
ton pulls it TO the ground before it has
covered its maximum distance.
Another thng-the ball or shell falls
Mt greater angle than that with which
it started. If 1t is thrown at forty-five
degrees elevation 1t will fall with near
er sixty degrees because of the retard-
ing effect of the atmospheric friction.
This friction is continually slowing up
the projectile and eventually all but
stops it. But meantime the action of
gravitation is pulling it farther and
farther downward from its initial
path. The net result is to bring it to
earth much sooner than If the second

Now that the supreme court of the
United States has wiped out the
grandfather clause" which had been
put into the constitutions of most Of
the southern states to prevent the
illiterate negroes from voting, these
states win merely snfd some other
way of accomplishing the same re-
salt. People of the north, do not, as
a general thing, understand the situa-
ton in the South Up mere where we
have only d few negroes and. those
practically all intelligent and law
abiding people, there is no excuse for
not letting them vote and to have the
privileges of citizenship, but in the
South and particularly in those sec
lions where there is danger OF the IL
.literate, childish and easily infiuenc
ed negroes and a few vicious whites
controlling the elections it is morally
right for the white man to safeguard
the dominance of the white race. The
patriotic white men OF the South are
just as anxious and sincere in their
desire as those of the North for the
welfare and improvement of the col
ored people, but it is not for the best
interests of the negroes that their
vanity and prejudices be fed with the
hope of social equality or the desire
to rule even in a community where
they are in an overwhelming major
ity. There has been too much flap
doodle sentimentsin the North about
the rights of humanity and suffrage
for all and in the South it is unques-
tionable that in some sections inherit
ed prejudices have 5iidereda thenedu-
cation and industrial training of the
colored people. We all have our
weaknesses of character and temper.
ament, The southern states ought to
have the right to insure the political
ascendancy of the white race and the
northern people ought to cheerfully
concede them this privilege
