ALWAYS BEAR ro THE EASY
Objects Dropped Into "Hottomless
Pits" Are Inevitably Attracted
In That Direction.

Because the earth whirls so fast,
rocks dropped into the very deep
shafts of Michigan copper mines dis
appear on the way down. AT some OF
the shafts, which are nearly mile
deep in straight drop, 1t is the gen.
eral belief that load OF broken stone
can be dumped into the hole at the
top without causing any injury to q
man at the bottom.
On account of the motion Of the
earth a rock will not fall perfectly
straight, but will bear to the east, lodg-
Ing in the timber lining or perhaps
bounding from wall to wall until it Is
broken up or caught by some projec-
ton
A group of experimenters from the
Michigan College Of Mines verified
this by careful tests with steel balls.
One ball was hung by thread over
the hole, about four feet from the east
side, and the thread burned A clay
box had been placed at the bottom OF
the shaft to catch the ball. but 1t never
appeared. Another ball was then
dropped, by the same method, a little
farther away from the east edge, and
this ball, also, did not get to the bot.
tom Careful search located the first
ball imbedded in the timbers 800 feet
down, but the second ball never has
been found.
As the earth revolves the surface Is
moving eastward at rate which va
ries with the latitude. Down in the
earth the rate is not so fast on the
same principle that point on the
tire of a wheel revolves faster than
one on spoke. Consequently, at the
distance of mile below the surface
the speed rate Is less than at the sur.
face. The falling ball, however, con
tinues to move toward the east at the
same velocity 1t had on the earth's
surface.-Saturday Evening Post.

Che mulberry. "wisest Of trees,s -
Pliny termed it, really ''likes' London
and fruits profusely even in the
grounds of the Charterhouse, at murky
Smith6eld. London mulberry trees are
mainly derived from fad Of James l..
who wanted to found silk growing

a pedant. the British Solomon intro
duced the black mulberry, disliked by
silkworms, instead Of the white vari-
ETY., which forms their food. The black
mulberry had been planted by Card
nal Pole at Lambeth in 1865, and there
were still older specimens in the gar
den of Syon House. According to a
pretty Greek legend. all mulberries
were originally white. but a mulberry
tree was growing beside "Ninnys
tomb" when Pyramus and Taisbe died
there. and the blood of the lovers
turned the fruit to its present co'or.

Armenian History.

The history of the later years Of the
Armenian kingdom is bound up in the
history Of Am. The stronghold city
became the capital of the Bagratid
kings of Armenia in 9S1. The Byzan.
tium emperor captured it in 1046, and
it was then hive of many scores Of
thousands, wealthy city and an invit-
ing one. The Seljuk Turks carried
fire and sword throughout its confines
t8 years later; the warlike Georgians
took it five times between 1925 and
1909; the Mongols overran it in 1899
and an earthquake in 1919 completed
the work of ruin The great cathedral,
the most perfect survival, was found
ed in 1910, just at the beginning of the
city's long chain Of misfortunes.

Teaching Art Of Cookery.

The British war Office has taken ad.
vantage of the vacation season in the
city schools to turn several of tho
buildings into cooking schools. where
$500 soldiers are learning elemen-
tary principles of the culinary art.
There are 100 men billeted in each
building, and they must provide their
own food on the customary war Office
allowance of 40 cents a day. II they
cannot eat the meals they prepare
then they must go without. ITO cook
rapidly and well is an art which can
easily be acquired" says the war OF
fee manual, "and it is an art that
every soldier should learn. At least
eight men in every company must be

The ancient Egyptians were noted

states, they ''sowed their seeds In the
Nile" This does not mean that they
actually cast the seed in the river. At
certain seasons Of the year the Nile

A factory for the manufacture OF

The daily capacity of the factory is
about fifty thousand caps. Formerly

war is was considered advisable to es-
