WHY BALL CAN BE CURVED
Presence Of Irregularities on the
Sphere Alone Makes the Feat
Possibility.

II IL were not for mountains" on a

than any mountains on earth the clev-
er pitcher could not get so much
a. n sixteenth OF an inch curve in II.
II baseball were perfect sphere
the best pitcher In the world could not
make II curve hairs breadth other
than the natural curve produced by
gravity. The reason the baseball
curves says the American Boy, is be-
cause 1t is covered with mountains"
There are great peaks and ridges, val
legs and cliffs. gullies and craters all
over 1t. Magnified 10000 diameters,
all these things may be seen, and they
present a far more rugged landscape
than any mountainous region in the
world. II looks like an exaggerated
combination of the Grand Canyon, Bad
Lands. Alps and Rockies.
1t is these Irregularities that make
1t possible for a pitcher to curve his
baseball or course he knows how to
hold and throw 1t, but In passing
through the air the friction strikes upon
these ragged edges even though they
have to be magnified 10000 dlameters
to be seen with the naked eye. and
cause such pressure as to make the
ball leave its natural course.

Hot, heavy foods and iced drinks
often play havoc with bad stomachs
in hot weather. The weak ones haven't
got a chance. A quickly chilled or
overworked stomach is a starter of
untold misery for its owner.
When you have that dull, depressed
feeling after eating-st0mach pains,
bowel disorders, heartburn or nausea,
belching, food repeating-it is the dam
ger point. You want to look out-and
be quick about 1t In this hot weather.
4 way has been discovered to make
sick stomachs well and to keep them
cool and sweet. 1t is n commonsense
way. No starvation plan of diet is
needed. Make this test and see how
quickly you get good appetite in
hot weather and enjoy the things you
like without misery to follow.

Spent Yeast Put to Many Uses.

The spent yeast which collects in
breweries and distilleries is put
through a process which turns it out
in the form of buttons, doorbell plates
and knife handles. Formerly this
leftover material was considered to
be bothersome waste; now it is util-
lied, every bit of it. AS it is gath

it over until 1t assumes the form of

Olive Oil Scarcer.

times as great as in 1916. Neverthe-

the harvest will rot away because
hands are lacking to turn 1t into oil.
The price at the present time of a

Magnetic Pole Moves pendulumwise.

The magnetic pole does not as has
generally been believed, move in a cir,
Gle around the geographic pole. but
oscillates exclusively on the Pacific
ocean side. This has just been proved
by Emile Belot, who has presented to
the French Academic DIES Sciences a
curve representing the motion of the
magnetic pole since the year 1911.
The motion of the magnetic pole is
almost a spiral, but its speed varies.
From 1880 to 1865 1t averaged - kilo
meters year. For the last 100 years
it has averaged only s kilometers
year. M. Belot likens it to the oscilla-
ton of pendulum, which slows up
ms it approaches lie ends Of it's swing.
The period of it's swing is about 800
years.
