MOVING TRAINS AND BULLETS
what Would Happen II Rifle
Were Fired From Back
Platform.

A correspondent sends these two
questions to the Scientific American:
~. II a train was running at a
speed Of sixty miles an hour and q
man is sitting on the back end OF the
train with 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 ef-
feet would this condition have on the
buiietl
70. 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 the train, and the train
to be going sixty miles an hour and
the gun would shoot at the rate OF
sixty miles an hour, what would be
the RESULT"
To which the editor replies;
IL. In the case you propose, the
bullet, after II left the gun, would
still move forward with the speed OF
the train and backward with the
speed OF the train and backward with
the speed given it 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.
q. In this case the man at whom
the bullet was shot would be killed
IL the aim was good. This may be
made clear, perhaps, by asking II yor
could not throw 4 ball on train tc
man to the rear Of the place where
you are standingf Could you not tos.
biscuit TO a person in the next sea
in car either toward the front OF
reari II you could toss biscuit, 20,
could FIRE bullet in either direction
and with the usual result when bull
let is fired. This matter seems yer,
simple to US. We do not know VIII,
it causes so much discussion" Sci

MEDIATION OFFER
Ambassador inquiries il Carranza
Government Willing TO
Farley.
UNABLE TO SEE MR.. LANSING

Washington, June 2s.-Ambassador
Caideron Of Bolivia, speaking for sew
eral American republics, has asked
Elizo Arredondo, Mexican anibassa-
dor designate, whether the Carranza
government would be willing to ac-
cept mediation in the crisis between
the United States and Mexico.
The Mexican ambassador said he
would communicate the inquiry to
General Carranza, but that he was not
empowered to make a reply at this
time. Mr.. Calderon failed to see Sec
rotary Lansing today on the same
mission, but announced tonight that
he expected to direct a similar in
quiry to the American government
Monday.
Form Not Disclosed.
What form the inquiry from Min
lister Calderon took was not dis
closed tonight. His conferences
probably viii be followed by others
tomorrow between many Latin
American Representatives to the
United States. Ambassador Naon of
Argentina returned tonight with the
authorization OF his government to
propose mediation. Dr.. Gonzalo s.
Cordova, the Ecuadorean minister, is
expected tomorrow to discuss the
subject with Minister Zaldivar of
Salvador.
Details Of Minister Calderon's
conferences with his colleagues today
we're refused, but it was understood
that he talked with several and was
unable to see Secretary Lansing only
because his discussion continued I'M
til the State department had closed.
Holds Conference.
1t was indicated tonight that Mr.
Calderon asked his government sew
eral days ago to authorize him to
take part in any mediation negotia-
tions, Immediately upon receiving
the authorization he conferred with
other Latin-American diplomats and
then took up the subject with Mr.
Arrendondo. 1t was understood to-
night that all the South and Contra
American representatives approached
by Mr.. Calderon agreed with hin
that a conflict between the United
States and Mexico would be ;
calamity and that the American ant
Mexican governments should b.
asked whether they would be Willing
to accept mediation.
II was indicated in official quar-
tiers earlier in the day that the Unite
States, engaged only in protecting
American lives and property, con
sidered there was nothing at thi
time to mediate so far as the polio,
of this government was concerned
1t was not denied, however, tina
future Developments might permi
mediation, State department official
explaining that so far no mediation
offers were before them.

GUARD DRAFT ACT
Senate Military Committee Gives

ton.
STRIKES OUT RELIEF MILLION

Washington, June ga favorable
report on the house resolution au-
thorizing the president to draft i'm
mediately into the federal service ma
tional guardsmen willing to take the
prescribed oath was ordered today by
the senate military committee, after
il had stricken out a section appro-
priating 100000 for the relief Of
dependents of guardsmen and another
limiting the term OF service to three
years. Wa s3
A substitute adopted for the relief
provision would direct that guards
men. with. dependents. having no
means of support be discharged.
Action IL Postponed.
Action on the resolution by the sen.
ate was postponed until Monday, be-
cause memorial session in tribute to
the late Senator Bradley of Kentucky
was in progress.
As reported by the committee, the
measure otherwise stands as it origi-
nally was reported to the house, the
amendment declaring that an emer-
eency now exists calling for troops
other than regulars, instead Of leaving
that question to be determined by the
president. Service of guardsmen
taken into the federal army is limited
only to "the period Of the emergency"
Much of the detail Of the mobiliza-
ton Of the guard was transferred
from the War department by Secre-
tary Bakers order, directing that de-
partment commanders rush the men
to the front as soon as available.
No Basis for Estimate.
Reports Of progress so far give no
basis for an accurate estimate Of the
time it will take to get the whole
force to the Mexican border. De-
tailed information is now sent to de-
partmental headquarters and will be
reported later to Washington.
The effort to speed up mobilization
further through the Hay resolution,
adopted yesterday in the house, met
with delay in the senate. The mill
tary committee reported out the meas
ure, amended, but still containing the
draft and consolidation sections
which are regarded as Of vital i'm
portance. On account Of memorial
session, however, the senate did not
act and the authority the resolution
will confer will not be granted before,
Monday.

RAT BITES SLEEPING WOMAN
Loss of Several Fingers Endangered
by Teeth of Hungry
Rodent.

Mrs. Freida Burns Of Pompto,n
avenue, Cedar Grove N. j., was sud
denly awakened from her sleep by a
pain in her right arm. At the same
time her arm seemed to be held down
by a weight from which she could
not extricate it. Calling to her daugh-
ter, who quickly turned on light,
it was discovered that the cause OF
Mrs. Burns pain was large rat
which, when pulled away, carried
with it piece of flesh.
Almost exhausted from pain and
fright, Mrs. Burns was treated tenn
porarily by her sons and daughters,
But her arm swelled considerably and
a physician was summoned. 1t was
feared at first that she might lose
several fingers, but it is believed now
that she will recover without serious
results.-New York Sun.

ciai Agent Rodgers at the Mexican
capital has reported inability as yet
to give any mixing as to what may be
expected from Carranza.
Foreshadows Hostile Attitude.
If a reply has been prepared in the
brief time the Carranza government
has had to study its position, officials
are inclined to believe 1t foreshadows
hostile answer.
Private advices today still pictured
the position Of General Carranza as
strongly inclined toward q peaceful
termination OF the present situation.
He is said to feel that Villa Is solely
responsible for the grave crisis, and
that war would mean the fulfillment
OF all that Villa hoped for when he
ordered the dash over the line at
Columbus, N. NJ.
Mr.. Arredondo expressed conf
dence tonight that the american
troopers taken prisoner after the Car
rial fight would be released promptly
and turned over to the United States
unless there are other clashes.
While no statement Is available Of
alternative plans should Carranza
support the act Of his commander at
Carrizal and precipitate hostilities
there are indications that the complete
military occupation Of all northern
Mexico would be ordered.
Probable Course Of Action.
With enough national guardsmer

lars now on patrol duty, an aeclimat'

FEAR FIGHTING ON
AGAIN In MEXICO
Apprehension Exists at Border That
q. s. Troops Battling in
Two Places.
NEWS COMES FROM CHIHUAHUA

FL Paso, June 2s.-Apprehension
that battles may be in progress to-
night between American and Mexican
troops in at least two places in north
ern Chihuahua gripped the border to-
night.
American columns were moving in
the direction of San Antonio and Ojo
Caliente, while General Jacinto ire
vino, commanding the Carranza army
Of the north, has ordered troops at
adjacent points to attack them il they
do not retreat Immediately.
Forces May Have Met.
While information concerning these
movements reached here today from
Chihuahua City, additional advices
indicated that General Trcvino's
scouts reported the approach OF the
Americans yesterday and that his
orders were issued Immediately. With
a lapse of twenty-four hours, it is as
sumed here that it is probable that
the opposing forces may have met.
Little was known here tonight as
to the strength OF the American col.
umns or their mission, but it was as
sumed that one OF them might be a
detachment sent by General Perish
ing to rescue the survivors OF the
troops of the Tenth cavalry engaged
at Carrizal.
Army officers here also pointed out
that the column headed for Ojo
Caliente, about thirty miles southwest
Of Carrizal, probably is composed Of
the troops surviving the engagement
there and the two squadrons Of the
Eleventh cavalry sent to reinforce
them.
May Be Chasing Bandits.
1t is believed here that the Ameri-
can command, advancing in the d.
rection Of San Antonio, fifty miles
southeast of Namiquipa, may be in
pursuit OF bandits.
While the lack OF definite infor-
nation begets apprehension, military
men point out that General Pershing
with General Trevino's threat and
the Carrizal fight before him, un'
doubtedly has taken steps to protect
detachments he has sent out and thai
preparations have been made to rein.
