on the face Of it one might think
that nothing was gained by this
theory. because il seems as iEpos-
sible that a push should be exerted

supposed properties OF that invis-

dunn called the ether.
This, to be sure, is explaining one

nothing about the ether except that

a conceivable explanation OF gray

this explanation, which has recently

that material bodies may intercept

no other tangible thing in the open
space $4,000 miles across, that gaps
between the moon and the earth.
Then gravitation eXerts the same
force at every instant, no matter how
fast the falling aeronaut may be
descending at any moment, gravita-
ton will keep on adding speed as
if he had just started. Disregarding
the slight retardation produced by
the resistance of the air, he viii fall
16 feet in the first second, As feet in
the second second. so feet in the
third second, gaining 32 feet in his
velocity during every second after
the first.
New Theory is that falling bodies
are pushed toward the earth.
From d height of 900 feet he
will come down in about s seconds,
and will strike the ground with a
velocity o. about 256 feet per second.
From a height Of 10000 feet he
would fall in about 25 seconds, and
would strike with a velocity Of 400
feet per second.
The same kind of calculation can
be applied TO the gravitation between
the earth and the moon. II the
moon were not in motion across the
direction of the earth's pull" il
would fall 10 the earth in about 116
hours.
Now. to return TO the mystery,
how is this force exerted2 is II real
ly a pull as it seems TO be? The an
swer to which science is tending is
that instead Of being a pun. gravita-
ton is a push: in other words. that
the falling aerOnaut is pushed to-
ward the ground and the moon is
pushed toward the earth

Curious Rombardment.

The Island of st. Thomas, in the
West Indies, has near it's shores the
Ship Rock, which appears, when seen
from short distance, like full
rugged ship under canvas. If the sky
is clouded and atmosphere hazy the
illusion Is remarkable.

buccaneers were making great havoc
with legitimate commerce in the West
Indies. The coast was partially hid

leeward to bid her leave to. OF course,
there was no response to the shot,
and the Frenchman brought his ship
closer and cleared the decks for ac-
ton.
Satisfied that he had to do with a
powerful adversary, he discharged the
whole of his starboard armament into
the supposed ship looming through
the mist. The corvette went about
and prepared to deliver her port guns
in similar manner. Then the fog
slowly dispersed, and the rock smiled
grimly on its assailants.

Low Salaries In creece.

No doubt Greek officers, who are
very badly paid as compared with the
English standard, console themselves
with the knowledge that they are
probably as well off in the army as
they would be in any other profession,

lousy low as gauged by those in Great
Britain. The highest judges, for ex-
