LAW OF MOTION.
Why a Ball Follows You If Thrown In
the Air While You Walk

When you throw n ball into the air
while moving your body forward or
backward. either slowly or fast, the
ball partakeS of two motiOns-the up
ward and the forward or backward
motion of your body. The ball possess
ed the motion of your body before it
left your hand to go up into the air be
cause your body was moving before
you threw It up. and the bah was a
part of you at the time.
If you are moving forward up TO the
time you throw the ball into the air
and stop as soon as you let go of the
ball. it will fall at some distance from
you. Also If you throw the ball up
from standing position and move
forward as soon as the ball leaves
your hand the ball will fall behind
you. provided you actually threw 1t
straight up.
or course you know that the earth
is moving many miles per hour on its
axis and that when you throw ball
straight into the air from a standing
position. the earth and yourself, as
long distance before the ball comes
down again. The relative position is,
however, the same. We get our sense
of motion by comparison with other
objects. If you are in train that is
moving swiftly and another train goes
by in the opposite direction. moving
just as fast. you seem to be going
twice as fast as you really are. If the
train on the other track, however, is
going at the same rate of speed and in
the same direction as you are you
will appear to be standing still.
Going back TO the ball again, you
will find that 1t always partakes of
the motion OF the body holding 1t In
addition to the motion given when 1t is
thrown up.-Philadelphia Press.

Marat's Deadly Prescription.

Whether Marat of ''the terror" was a
veterinary surgeon or a fashionable
physician is point which historians
have earnestly debated. Some light is
thrown upon it by the memoirs of the
papal envoy Of the period, who was
one of his patients, and reports as fol-
lows:
He prescribed for me some medi-
cine which would have killed me If
the celebrated chemist of the Rue
Jacob had been willing to give It to
me. i see well enough he said, that

"Slow" as an adverb has been in lit
erature since the year 1900. 1t is found
in Byron, Thackeray and the Edin-
burgh Review. Johnson's Dictionary
of 1913 quotes numerous examples of
its use by Dome. Milton and Pope. 1t
seems as If 1t ought to be especially
suitable in an automobile warning sign.

JOLTED THE AUTHOR.
Story of Tour Made by Irwin Cobb
and His Friend Van Loan.

and HIS Friend Van Loan.
Shortly after the publication of Irwin
Cobb's ''BaCA Home" Mr. Cobb visited
the Pacific coast and spent few days
in Los Angeles with his author friend,
Charles L. Van Loan.
The Angel City newspaper men were
very kind to Cobb, interviewing him
copiously, and Van Loan suggested
that it would be a graceful thing to re-
pay their courtesies with autographed
copies of the new book.
Zine" said Cobb Lets go buy
,, 'em now"
| With Van Loan he visited six book
stores in rapid succession, and the fol-
lowing is a sample of the conversation
which took place in each one:
Cobb-Have you Back Homer"
Clerk-What is tia book or a maya
zine?
Cobb-It's a book.
Clerk-Ah-er-do you recall the
name of the author?
Cobb surprised A man named

S. Cobb.
Clerk (disappointed)-Oh. some other
Cobb, eh? | don't think we have it.
There hasn't been any call for it.
Probably not a popular work. sir.
And so on, with variations. Nobody
had a copy Of the book, apparently no
body had ever heard of 1t. In the sixth
store Cobb's patience left him. and he
leaned over the counter with a glare in
his eye. He had just been asked If he
was not mistaken in the name of the
book or the author or something.
Listen to me. strangerv' said the ex-
asperated Kentuckian. 1.-THE name is

Cobb spent the rest of the afternoon
abusing the boneheaded booksellers of
Los Angeles. The only thing that he
didn't know was that Van Loan had
gone over the route earlier in the day
and rehearsed the clerks. preparing
them for Cobb's visit and having them
remove all copies of the book from

THE REVOLVING FUND.

The proposed "revolving fund" au-
thorized by Amendment No. 1 which
was passed at the November election
to finance the development of unsold
state lands, will revolve every five
years, according to Senator P Fl.
McGarry of Walker, who has worked
out bill to be submitted to the state
legislature.
The bill will provide for a super
intendent to direct the development
work, under an advisory board of
seven members, of which the COVER
nor and state auditor will be ex-of-
ficio members.
The amendment authorizes the use
of $250,000 from the state school
fund and this sum is to be made avail
able in the bill to be submitted to
the state legislature.
The bill will provide that five
acres in each 4O-acre tract selected
shall be cleared, stumped and plow-
ed, and perhaps even disked. It is
believed that if the work is done on
a large scale it can be accomplished
for SIS per acre. The bill will pro-
vide, that the amount SO expended on
each tract shall be paid back in four
annual installments, beginning after
the first year, so the fund may re-
volve every five years.

THIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN
= ADVERTISING BY THE
PEACE.

Germany and her allies, compris-
ing the four Central powers, have
taken the initiative and propose to
enter forthwith into peace negotia-
lions to end the worldwide war.
While no official announcement of
the terms has been made, q high off,
c1al in Washington states that the
terms are substantially these:
The territorial status of the ma
lions at war to be returned "practic-
ally" to what it was before the war
started, with these exceptions:
Establishment of independent king
doms of Poland and Lithuania and
some readjustment of boundaries in
the Balkans;
Return to Bulgaria of territory lost
is last Balkan war;
Evacuation by Germany of North
ern France;
Restoration of the kingdom by Bel
GUM;
At least partial reservation of Ser
bia and Rumania;
Return to Germany of her lost
colonies.
Germanys proposals for peace are
made at time when her armies have
taken the offensive in the newest
battle area and the western front
has reached another deadlock. Ger
many has proposed peace with Teu-
tonic troops occupying enemy terri
tory on practically every front.
The factors which are said to have
led to the German peace proposals at
this time are:
1. The favorable military posi-
ton of the central powers
2. The fact that winter is at hand
will necessitate cessation of hard
fighting for three months.
3. A desire to smoke out the al
lies to announce just what they are
fighting for.
4. Desire to convince the world
and the German people, wherever
they are, that Germany is not fight
ing war of territorial conquest, and
a desire, if war continues, to let the
world know that Germany will not
be responsible for further blooqshed.
Peace has actually been proposed.
The entire world will watch the
action taken by the allies.
What the world desires is a last
ing peace.
