Why We Cannot See the Earth Revolve
By n. J. and 4. W. Bodmer


We cannot see the earth revolving on
it's axis because motion is only rclativ"
and we are upon and part of the
earth. If. however. you could place
yourself in position relatively near
the earth. YOU could perceive its
motion beneath YOU very readily. To
do this you would have to so beyond
the atmosphere of the earth. for the
atmosphere rcvolvcs with the earth. If
this were not 50 there would be no
reason why an aviator could not go up
A few thousand feet above New York,
and. waiting for the earth to rcvolve
beneath him. drop down in San Fran
cisco only few hours later.
We can observe the motion Of the
other planets. but even this requires
time and study. If you are observing
.Jupitcr. for example. through tcc-
Scope. YOU can see its motion after nm
hours study of any one spot. If, how
ever. YOU were close to the outer rim
of Jupitcr's atmosphere. you would see
il rushing by you Mt speed greater
than two and half times that of the
earth.
The hour hand OF watch travels
twice ns fast around its center rs the
earth does upon its axis. and yet it is

without the aid Of n microscope.
Through microscope you can sec the
movement Of the watch hands more
readily. Through magnifving glass
the motion is mngniti"d. Under very
powerful lens tn" hands move quite
rapidly. Approaching moving object
has the sam" effect upon its apparent
speed as magnifying glass gives to it.

CYNTHIA. can you tell me how to treat
him when he comes back tc me; and
also he Is always talking about the

he Is being true to me? Should I allow
him to kiss mer good night? never

Shoulders Not Alike.

To the majority Of persons the
statement that their shoulders are moi
of the same height will come as a sur
prise, but tailors know that almost in.
variably the left shoulder is higher
than the right. If babys shoulders
are measured it will be found that
they are exactly even. That they dc
not remain so is blamed upon parents
who as a rule lead their young and
growing children by the left hand
This is a natural manner of leading
the child, as it shields it from bumps
of persons met in it's walks, but the
muscles and bones are thus cOntinu
ally raised and in the end drawn per
manently out of position, although the
change is SO slight that it is not no
ticeable unless accurate measure
ments are taken.

Fergus Falls Boy Has Severe Time
Following Appendicitis Operation
While in Service

Fergus Falls, Dec. 23-Conway G.
Firkins, young lad of this city, was
operated for appendicitis while he was
in the army and has been in poor
health ever since. The operation was
performed in an army hospital in
Philadelphia four years ago. Since
then he has suffered a great deal of
pain and his ailment has been dag
nosed by various army physicians as
ulcers of the stomach, tuberculosis of
the intestines and a number Of other
diseases. The Red Cross and Ameri-
can Legion here finally took hold of
the matter and arranged for him to go
to a hospital in st. Paul. An x-ray
picture was taken there and it shows
that the surgeons who operated on
him for appendicitis four. years ago
sewed up a large surgeons needle in
the abdominal Innings. He returned
yesterday and will have an operation
performed here for the removal of the
needle.

Christmas anniversary attracted un-
usually large audiences who greatly
enjoyed the efforts of the little tots
and grown ups who acquitted them
selves most creditably.
One of the most elaborate prepare

churches for THE celebration of
Christmas was the pageant "The STR

capacity audiences Sunday afternoon,
Sunday evening and Christmas night
at the Methodist church.
The scene Of the pageant was just
outside the city of Bethlehem, and
appropr ate scenery had been pre-
pared for the production by Mrs.
Wyand, wife of the pastor. There
were about 40 people in the cast which
demonstrated that Sank Centre pos
sesses a lot of splendid talent for
work of this character.

First illustrated Book.

1t was the Roman author VarrO,
who in B. c. 70, issued the first book
Illustrated with portraits. He was
not a great writer and he had been
struggling for recognition for good
many years, when he suddenly con-
ceived the idea Of preparing volume
containing the biographies of 700 of
his famous fellow-citizens. History is
silent on the rather interesting ques-
ton whether Varro charged them for
his services, but it is loud In his
praise as the first, writer who con-
ceived the idea Of Illustrating his
work with portraits. They were
crudely drawn. But they were illus
trations all the same, and after that
the custom of embellishing historical
works with such drawings became a
fad among the writer's of those days.
