~ You Fell OF the Earth.

After you have learned that the
earth Is spinning through space like q
great top and that we are all living on
the outside Of this top you probably
wonder where we would all go II
we fell of. The earth itself has enough
power of attraction to keep everything
on its surface from falling OF.
Now, just imagine that this power OF
attraction stopped altogether. II that
happened and you were indoors your
head would hit the ceiling. II you
were out OF doors you would go
straight up into the sky for a long
time. and gradually you would begin
to move slower and slower and slower,
for the resistance Of the air would re-
tard you. At last you would come to
a stop, and there you would stay. And
very cold you would find It.
II the air did not resist, with the
least little jump you would go sailing
of into space That is the only way
you could fall or the earth, when the
earth's attraction stopped and when
the air did not resist.-Exchange.
