If a cannon were mounted ION the
front Of a train travelling at sixty
miles an hour and ball were fired
in the direction of the train, what
will become of the projectile? Garrett
P. Service in discussing this question
says the ball would leave the cannon
with a speed of so miles an hour, with
reference to the head of the locomo-
tive, but it would travel. 120 miles
an hour with reference to the ground.
1t is already travelling so miles an
hour while it is yet lying in the can
non, and the, impulse given to- it by
the powder simply adds. another so
miles an hour to it's motion.
If the cannon stood beside the
track andl was fired at the instant
when the head of the locomotive
came up with it, then the ball meg
lecting the effect of air resistance),
would just keep abreast Of the To-
tive, because each would have the
same velocity. %@%
. If you reverse the case and sup
pose your cannon fired from the rear
end of the train, then the cannon
ball and the train would separate at
the rate Of so miles an hour, the
forward motion of the ball with the

Maine is known as the great potato

More potatoes were moved out of
Aroostook county over the Bangor &,
Aroosto0k railroad during October
than during any previous month in
Aroostook potato history. A total of
1852 carloads of spuds was hauled
during the month, the nearest APP
proach to this being 3,400 carloads
which was the total for one of the
months in the season of 1913. Figurt
ing the past month to have contained
rs shipping days, as Sundays are ex-
Guided, the daily average was some
what over 145 cars
About four-fifths of the Aroostook
crop is transported over the B. &c A.
lines, the remaining fifth being
hauled by way of the Canadian Pacific
and A. v. r. r. 1t has been estimated
that it will take 100 cars per day
for the next eight months to move
this years crop out of the country to
the markets, the B. AS average of
this total being about 140 cars each
day.
