IF THE WORLD MOVED FASTER.
Existing Conditions Would Be Very
Greatly Upset by Increased Rotation.

Conjecture has often been made as to
what would happen if the earth were to
rotate faster upon its axis than it does.
OF course, if it went Is times as fast as
it does now, bodies at the equator would
weigh nothing--a person would jump up
into the air and fail to come down again.
man might weigh 200 at the poles and
nothing at the equator, while his weight
would vary for intermediate points If
he approached the equator he would get
lighter and if he receded from it he would.
get heavier A man could carry 8 horse
on his shoulders very near the equator,
while near either pole he could only car
ry what one can now On this account.
labor would be very dear near the poles,
and very cheap near the equator. 1t
would certainly be interesting to know
which section of the earth would be more
| popnlous- everyone would go
north for good wages or go south for
cheap workmen The railroad problem
would be momentous unless the railroads
all ran east and west where uniform
| rate would obtain on any particular, east
| and west line. 5fe
Journeys to the south would be even
more popular than they are now, for
| they would make enc feel better and in
| buoyant spirits; more springy. too, so
i that people could walk farther without
/ getting tired, and could Jump over any
! obstacle that presented itself without
coming down with too hard a thump
There is no planet now known that
has such a rapid rotation as is pictured
here, but there are several where man
would weigh great deal less than on
earth. On the moon a man would weigh
only fifty or sixty pounds and could
Jump AZ many feet without suffering Sc
4 rious discomfort But this state of af-
fairs obtains over the whole planet, be-
cause it Is due to absence of gravitation
force and not to centrifugal, as would be
the case on the rapidly rotating earth

Prohibitionists And Party.
lR1tland IIerald.l

Evidently the simon-pure prohibition
ist cares nothing for party or political
principle, unless that party or that prin-
ciple will forward his own ends. So much
has been abundantly proved by the Anti
Saloon leagues manipulation of the Re
publican party in New York and of the
Democratic party in other states
Now comes Mr. Clifford H. Smith, Yer
mont head Of that mysterious and ire
sponsibe organization, with a proposition
to repudiate Republican principles and de-
liver the state to the Democrats, despite
the fact that he has been industriously
pledging Republicans to his propaganda
for the past three months
After the result of the Vermont primary
was announced. which showed Mr. Glenn
ent to be nominated by substantial piu-
rality, Mr. Smith called meeting of the
faithful-all Republicans ass we under
| stand itand promptly endorsed the can
didacy of DIR. w i. Mayo, democratic
nominee for governor, who had listened
to the siren song and proposes TO sup.
| port the ratification of the Sheppard
amendment!
| Where does this leave the Republican
candidates for senator and representative
who, after agreeing as Republicans &c
stand with Mr.. Smith, find him promptly
/ changing sides when he finds that he ear
Eno longer control that party?
One answer may appear in the following
plaintive complaint from the Ludlow Tri
hume:
interviewed because of persistent
rllmor that his attitude on ratification
/ had undergone change since primary
election day, Charles II PolArd, nominal
ed as town representative on the Republi
can ticket. tells the Tribune that he ha
changed his mind that he has though
it over" and that he docs not befev'
in ratification.
/ The Herald has no desire to see an.
nominee for any Office in the gift OF Yer
mont voters repudiate his principles. but
/ when that nominees endorsement ha
been secured, as a Republican, to propC
sition whose proponent promptly bolt
the party. can we wonder if such can
. didate considers his pledge invalidate
thereby?
It seems to the Herald as though Nh
!, Clifford IT. Smith had pretty clearly show
where he stands as political manipulation
: He cares nothing for the sort of men VIII
, would make IN the next legislature: Other

The prospects Of famine In Germany
are so serious that food boarding is
growing among the wealthy to an ex-
tent that has given the government no
end of trouble. The German police
have exhausted every means Of detect
ing the hoarders except one. and that
is to use highly trained police dogs on
their trail. III
This is now being done, and the
dogs are proving themselves invalu-
able In running down violators of the
food laws. Near Berlin, according to
a correspondent, the dogs recently To-
Gated a man who had been pilfering

the house where the stolen vegetables
were hidden.

meat brought from an illegal slaugh-
ter house. The man escaped, leaving
the burden behind, but was tracked
to q hay loft by police dogs. When
the officer returned to the spot where
the meat had been left he found the
meat gone. The police dogs were
again called upon and they located the
meat In house where It had been
hidden by a woman.
