Movlnu Wheel.

The question is asked: (which part
Of a carriage wheel moves faster, the
top or bottom?" All depends upon
what Is meant by this question. If
by this is meant the speed of the
rim of wheel in relation to its axis
(hub), then there is no difference; If
it relates to carriage in motion, then
the top moves faster. When the for
ward motion Of the carriage is con-
cerned, the point of contact Of the
wheel with the ground mot the hub)
becomes the momentary scenter O. a
circle, of which the radius II Arliam-
eter of the wheel. In partial revO-
luton, therefore, the point at the top
of the wheel would have described a
much greater arc than the point at
the bottom, in the same time. A prac-
teal demonstration can be had by TAX
ing wheel Of any kind. and marking
points at top and bottom. Then note
their course through quarter revolu-
ton. Another proof: An instanta-
neous photograph of a carriage il mo-
ton shows the upper part Of wheels
as blur. while the spokes in lower
parts are distinctly seen.

United States Gold Coins.

The first American gold coinage Of
eagles, half-eagles and quarter-eagles
of the value of $40, S. and $3.50, re-
spectively, was placed in circulation
126 years ago. One and three dollar
gold pieces were formerly coined. but
they were discontinued In 1890. The
first coin called an eagle was used in
Ireland in the thirteenth century. and
was so called from the figure Of an
eagle impressed Upon It, but 1t was
made of base metal The standard Of
the eagle was borne by the ancient
Persians, and the Romans also carried
gold and silver eagles as ensigns, and
sometimes represented them with
thunderbolt in their talons. Charlie
magne adopted the double-headed
eagle as the standard of the Holy
Roman empire. The eagle was the
standard of Napoleon I and Napoleon
III, as we'll as of Austria, Prussia azd,
Russia.

Historical Inexactltudes,

We are celebrating-or rather,
should be celebrating-the tercente-
nary Of Sir Walter Raleigh. When he
was confined in the Tower of London
ne saw from his window an ARRAY In
the courtyard-an affray which ended
IN the stabbing and killing of a man.
Talking of this to the governor Sir
Walter was surprised to find that all
MS Ideas as to what happened, all his
deductions from what he had seen,
were utterly at variance with the
facts. IF l am so inaccurate as to
what passes before my eyes how can
l hope to be accurate in The History
Of the World l am writing?" sighed
Sir Walter. How, indeed? You. gentle
reader, have had daily examples of
how history" Is made. The future
reader of the story Of the great war
will require much salt when he is
perusing the "stories" of some htsto-
rians.-Vancouver World.

Beware of Fake Experts.

A warning against Fake Experts"
on Income Tax had been sounded by
the Internal Revenue Bureau, in
statement received by Collector Lynch
from Commissioner Daniel c. Roper.
Business houses and individual tax
payers are being canvassed this year
by numerous so-called Income Tax
Experts who offer to use their magic
wands of Income Tax wisdom to re-
lieve the busy taxpayer from all wor-
ries about his tax responsibilities.
II desire to make public announce
ment, for the information of taxpay-
ers, that an investigation of the quail
fications of many of these experts
will disclose the fact that very few
have had the training and experience
tnat would place them anywhere near
the expert class.
"The Bureau is arranging to furnish
for the benefit of Income Tax payers
in every city and town in the country,
a free advisory service by trained COL
leetors, agents, inspectors and depu-
ties. At the Office of Collectors and
their Deputies, and at other central
points, free Information and advice
with respect to filing returns under
the new Revenue Bill may be had up
to the final date for filling such re-
turns.

declared unconstitutional it would lead
to much questioning, for virtually all
of the amendments to the Constitution
have been adopted by a two-thirds
vote Of the members present rather
than q two-thirds vote Of all members

Amendments Of tho Past
The first national prohibition
amendment was proposed by Senator
II. w. Blair of New Hampshire as
early as 1875. 1t provided for the
prohibition Of the manufacture, sale,
importation and expectation of spirit
GUS distilled liquor for beverage pur-
poses. He introduced such a bill nine
times between 1876 and 1895; In 1886
he changed it to include all alcoholic
liquors.
Senator John D. Works Of Califor-
MIA introduced into the senate in 1914
a bill providing for the prohibition of
spurious liquors, excluding wines and
beers. It received no support from
the national prohibition advocates.
December 10, 1918, Congressman
Hobson of Alabama introduced the
famous "Hobson resolution" The
original resolution placed the enforce
ment Of the law in the hands of the
national government, but it was SC
amended as to divide the responsible
ity between the state and federal gov
ernments, in order to secure the sup
port of certain advocates of Estates
rights" The original resolution was
amended eight times by Hobson him
self and was finally voted on Decem
Der %, 1914, receiving 1877 votes, 25<

that the vets do not accept this view

At any rate, it is formally an
