WHY a Ball Curves.

Boys Life: There are MANY scientific
Explanations to account for the curve of
a baseball. l. is generally agreed that
the rotary motion of the ball after it
leaves the pitchers hand SO affects the
resistance of the air that it is DETECTED
from its original course. A fascinating
experiment may be made by spinning
a marble in wafer. The resistance of
the water being much greater than that
of the air. the effect is exaggerated.
The marble should be dropped in water
two feet or more deep. BY spinning
it fast or slow and in various direc-
lions the curve of the most skillful
pitcher can be reproduced.

spring water. The man who has new
er been famished little imagines how
delicious is raw, tough seagull. The
man who has had plenty of beef, NUT
ton and pork all his life would be sur
prised to find how quickly the pangs
of hunger would drive him to almost
any substitute to sustain life.
DR.. Owen B. Ames, the Boston psy-
biologist, declares that likes and dis
likes of foods are purely psychology
CALI
Because we have been bred for
years to regard certain animals as
edible, animals without that class
have never been thought of as a posi-
BILE supply OF food.
In South America the octopus is
used as the base of a particularly
appetizing soup. The simple fact that
it does not appear disgusting to Us
until we know its ingredients proves
that our taste in foods is purely
psychological.
In Australia among the English
speaking people. who are very much
like ourselves, the mutton bird is Used
as one of their finest dishes The NUT
ton bird is very much like the penguin,
of which there is an enormous supply
in the antarctic regions.
Mcmillan. the explorer, says that
seal food is splendid. Not only is it
very nOurishing. but il is also sur
prfsingly palatable Among the Eski-
mos seals eyes are considered a real
delicacy. but the fact that they are
eaten by Eskimos or that they are
seals eyes does not make them any
less a food for the white man.
In the last few years many men
have been forced to realize that food
is food, no matter what its special
name might have been. In a country
where a certain animal is rare or
has been brought merely as an enter
tainment. the people of that country
would never regard that animal as a
food. But where that animal is plenti-
full he is always used for consumption.
To US, who depend mostly upon
beef, pork, lamb and the products of
few other domesticated animals for
our supply OF meat, this seems strange
and unnatural. But considering the
fact that most animals are for the
! most part made of what they eat, we
| find that the menu of many of the ami
! mails we keep in our parks and cir
cuses is exactly the same as that OF
| our domestic animals. So, DR.. Ames
| believes, the question OF taste in food
is purely psychological.
At the south polar regions there
have been breeding unmolested for
centuries many kinds Of food animals
and birds with natural environment
to keep them always in perfect con-
dition. To give some idea Of the al
most limitless food supply in the ant
arctic seas, the Endurance had to liter
| ally pillow through a sea of seals.
So much in earnest is Sir Ernest
| Shackleton over his project that ne
| promises to come to the United States
/ in its promotion. upon his return from
/ his expedition to-the antarctic.
