In What Position Does q Rifle
Bullet Return to Eartl

In order to solve the problem. q
special stand was erected in Germany
recently. and experiments were carried
on along the shores of a lake, the sur
face Of which was frozen. The ice
was covered with strong planks, as
described in the Popular Science
Monthly. 1t was shown that an infan-
try rifle bullet shot upward in a verti-
cal direction passes downward in the
same position in which 1t passed up
ward-in other words, 1t came back
again to earth with its bottom first
Why was It not upset at its culmi-
nation point? The answer Is that the
propelling force ceases to act at the
~,''r'iration point. But the twist has
as yet not stopped. and therefore 1t
...uI,s it's fall with a twist. Even on
impact the twist has not stopped, as
was indicated by the warping of the
wood fibres in the planking on the ice.

POISON IN Cigarettes
DECLARED TO Be MYTH
Wesleyan University Chemists Upset
Old Smoking Traditions.

You are going to sit UP and take notice
when you learn what Is being done In
the chemistry laboratories Of Wesleyan
University. says the Meriden. Conn.
Daily Journal. They are conducting a
quanutative Investigation into the actual
amount Of nicotine which 10 absorbed
from various brands Of cigarettes now on
the market.
Previous experiments have given the
public the impression that the entire
amount Of nicotine contained in a cigar
ette is absorbed by the system. Sufficient
progress has been made by the expert
menters to make q positive announce
ment that great part OF the nicotine is
not absorbed at all. but passes of In the
exhaled vapors and at the smouldering
end Of the cigarette.
nal. is being conducted with the utmost
scientific accuracy. The cigarette is
placed in closed container, lighted cleo
trically by means Of a platinum coll and
extinguished, when the experiment "a
concluded. by nitrogen gas. since allow
ing 1t to snoulder oft might affect re-
suits. The gases which pass through the
cigarette containing the nicotine and car
bon monoxide actually absorbed are pur-
ifed and the amount OF poison measured,
allowances being made for the exhaled
vapors.
Gases which surround the cigarette but
which do not pass through It and, con.
sequently. do not affect the smoker, are
conducted through a similar train and
measured In this way II has been deter
mined that a considerable percentage of
the nicotine has no injurious effect Ac-
curate quantitative data will soon be
compiled.
The Journal. arising to the Importance
Of the test and its findings. says edi-
toraily: 1T must be quite a blow to
those anticIgarette folks to learn that
most of their preaching is fallacy. Those
Wesleyan professors who have done
much to give US clear ideas about many
things, dnd that there 10 but a small
amount OF nicotine that goes from the
cigarette into the mouth. only a very lit
tie OF that goes into the lungs and that
much OF it passes OF in the smoke from
the lighted end.
The cigarette Is an ideal short smoke
and the chances are that your smoking
will do you less harm than II will II done
in any other manner.
Cigarette smoking has changed much
from the day when only the man who
wore his handkerchief in his sleeve was
associated with it and now every type OF
men use the paper tubes Of tobacco"

I'm the Bible two terms are mainly
used TO designate God. One means

case OF Lazarus. to the raising of the
dead.

them because Of q specific, accurate, and

being would claim that they were done
through anything but such knowledge;
and. II they were thus wrought through

by Jesus Christ, were they not wrought
