TWO OLD PROBLEMS.
The Moving Train and the Bullet
Fired From a Rife.

The Moving Train and the Bullet
Fired From Rife.
A correspondent sends these two
questions to the Scientific American:
"First-If a train was running at
speed of sixty miles an hour and
man is sitting on the back end Of this
traln with a gun that would shoot at
the rate Of sixty miles an hour and he
shoots from the back end Of this train
In opposite direction, what effect
would this condition have on the bull
let?
'Second.-If the man with the gun
was on the front end Of this train and
was to shoot back at man on the
back end of train and train to be go
ing sixty miles per hour and the gun
would shoot at the rate of sixty miles
an hour, what would be the resultT'
To which the editor replies:
"First.-In the case you propose the
bullet after it left the gun would still
move forward with the speed of the
train and backward with the speed
given il by the powder. Since these
two speeds are equal and opposite in
direction the bullet would drop TO the
ground directly under the point where
it left the gun.
"Second.-In this case the man at
whom the bullet was shot would be
killed II the aim was good This may
be made clear perhaps by asking If
you could not throw ball on train
TO a man 10 the rear Of the place where
you were standing? Could you not
toss a biscuit to a person in the next
seat In a car either toward the front
or rear? II you could toss biscuit
you could fire bullet iii either dlrec-
ton and with the usual result when a
bullet is fired This matter seems very
simple to US. We do not know why il
causes so much discussion"

DAVENPORT HITS
LOCAL BAKERIES
Drivers Of Wagons of Two Rock Is
land Concerns Are Arrested in
City Across the River.
CLAIM BREAD IN FILTHY STATE
Further Charges Are Made Against
Men That They Had No Peddlers'
Licenses Required.

Davenport's war on peddlers of bad
bread yesterday led to the arrest of
drivers of two Rock Island companies.
Claiming that their wagons were in a
filthy condition and that the bread
they were delivering was covered with
dirt and exposed to disease germs,
Deputy Marshal Matt Lamb caused the
arrest of Henry Greenberg and Simon
TObinsky, drivers of bread wagons.
TObinsky was arrested on Ninth and
Gaines streets as he was on his daily
rounds. Davenport police claim that
the mans wagon, which was drawn
by a decrepit horse, was in filthy
condition. The floor was covered
with dust, dirt, old papers, rags and
Offal of all sorts. Tobinsky is the
driver of a wagon for the Leader bak-
cry of Rock Island. Greenberg, driver
of wagon owned by H. Pumped Of
the Kosher Bread Baking company,
2106 Third avenue, Rock Island, was
arrested by Officer Blickhan at Sec
ond and Western avenue, and his
wagon was in much the same condi-
ton as the one driven by Tobinsky.
When the two wagons were examined
at the police station, the bread which
the men were delivering, it is alleg-
ed, was found to be covered with dirt,
many of the lOaves being in such 4
condition that it was hard to tell what
they were. They were thrown into
the wagon on old newspapers and
every jolt threw them against the side
of the wagons, where dirt and cob
webs had been allowed to accumu-
late, the police claim.
Had No Licenses.
To add to the charges against the
two men, the police claim that neither
of them had peddlers' licenses in Dav-
export, which they must have under
the law. Information has been filed
/ against both men and they probably
will be given a hearing today.
I'm going to keep pounding away
/ on these sanitary laws until l have
/ them respected if it takes a year,
said Marshal Lamb. Until the own
ers and drivers Of these wagons get
/ the fact through their heads that they
have to keep their wagons clean and
/ in a sanitary condition, and that they
can't let them go to rack and ruin,
will keep on making prosecutions.
Il intend to have both of these wag-
ons condemned. Not only is it a VIC
/ lation Of the laws of the state for the
owners to let them go in such a shape
but it is crime against the people
who have to eat the bread. How dc
we know how many cases Of sickness
and perhaps death-have been caus
ed from just such conditions as these
1T is a fact that some of that breaC
might just as we'll have been baked
| in a pile of ashes in woodshed. i
couldn't have been much dirtier OF
more dangerous"

cause unknown, and set fire to the
shop. When the department arrived,
both the back and front ends OF the
establishment were in flames, while
the center of the building at that time
was unframed. Prompt action on the
part of the fire department saved the
building. 1t is double structure, and
one of the store rooms is unOCcupled.
The fire crept through the roof of the
confectionery, and into the small at
tic, injuring the empty store room TO
some extent, also. Tar paper covered
the roof and sides of the structure,
and the smoke caused by its burning
drew a crowd from blocks around. Mr..
Koch stated yesterday afternoon that
the loss on the building would be be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, and that it
was entirely covered by insurance.
The stock of the store, according to
Mr.. Koch, was damaged by smoke and
water to the extent of $4,000, and only
half of this is covered by insurance.

Well 200 Feet Down.

Work on the deep well to be used
in connection with the artificial ice
plant, is progressing. The five-inch
drill has now reached a depth of more
than 200 feet. This is a depth, how
ever, at which the process of drilling
becomes much slower. Although the
work upon the well has been in prog
ness but two weeks, it is thought that
at least four more weeks will be
utilized in getting things in shape.
