WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

n RAISE is especially sweet
from those whose own lives
have been the subject of
eulogy.
All wisdom consists In this:
Not to think that we know what
we do not know.
Reason is as it were q light to
tighten our steps and guide US
through the Journey OF life.
Nothing is more delightful than
the light of truth.
So close does falsehood ap-
proach to truth that the wise
man would do well not to trust
himself on the narrow ledge.
You win never err II you listen
to your own suggestions.
While we mediate on the value
of heaven above our own afIalrS
appear petty and contemtible.
1t is great thing to know our
own vices.
No wise man has ever. said
that change Of plan IL incon-
staney.
Success consists in good for
tune, allied to good design--if the
latter be wanting, success IL alto
gether impossible.
We are not bound always to
hold the same language but we
are bound to be constant in our
aims.
It is annoying to a modest man
to ask anything OF value from
one on whom he thinks he has
conferred a favor, lest he should
seem to demand 1t as a right
rather than ask 1t as a favor.
A true friend is a man who
knows you thoroughly, but likes
you just the same.
Many men seek fortune In
order to be independent-they
should rather seek character, the
only true source of independence.

ON MOTION
Celebrated Scientist and Author Contributes
Illuminating Article on An Interest
ing Article
By Garrett p. Serviss.

The train Is travelling sixty
miles an hour, or eighty-eight Feet
per second The bullet lying Ii
the gun bore. together with the
gun and everything else connected
with, or contained Ia, the train,
u travelling in the same direction
with the same speed, viz, eighty
eight feet per second. All to-
gether they form moving
gystefn. Now the bullet. before it
Is fired, has d momentum in the
direction Of its common motion
with the train, equal to tts
velocity multiplied BY its mass, or
weight.
II the gun and the train could
be wiped out Of existence, Ieav-
ing only the bullet moving, the
bullet would strike an object IN
its way with the velocity of
eighty.eight feet per second, and
the force Of the blow would be
measured BY the momentum If
the bullet moving at that speed
Now the gun, pointed from the
front toward the rear OF the
train, is fired, giving to the bullet
an impulse backward, or against
the motion Of the train, Just
sufficient to counterbalance its
forward momentum with the
train. IN other words. the expI0-
sion OF the powder produces i
force directed backward which
just destroys the forward motion
Of the bullet with the train
BULLET DOES NOT MOVE.
The consequence Is that the.
bullet no longer moves with the
gun and the train. The effect of
the explosion Of the powder il
the same as would be produced
by some immovable obstacle In
gtantly stopping the bullet wlails
allowing the gun and the whole
train to continue moving forward.
So, as the train moves on the
bullet passes out OF the gun
barrel, and, in effect, stands stiII
with reference to the train (and
also to the ground beneatl),
while the train leaves 1t behind
at the rate Of eighty-eight feet
per second. When the man
standing at the rear of the train
Is brought into contact with the;
arrested bullet It will meet him
with q blow just equal 10 that
which Il would have struck In
the opposite direction when Il
was sharing the trains motion.
For simplicity, without altering
the result, we neglect the effect
Of atmospheric resistance, fric-
tion, etc. But a word OF cor
rection needs to be applied to the
statement that the bullet stands
still after the firing. IT does not
stand stiIl with regard to gravity.
On the contrary It falls straight
toward the ground IL the
height Of the gun muzxle was 16.1
feet, then the bullet would reach
the ground in .One second, and
during that second the train
would move away eighty-eight
feet.

HEROINES OF HISTORY
The Woman Who Did Not Look u d Mirror for Pears
BY MARK STUYVESANT

Of forestaIling Providence. How
ever, Lady Montagu found g.
champion IN the Princess OF
Wales, afterward the wife Of
George H.. who gave her support
to the new preventive which
finally prevailed.
The wit and intelligence 0f the
independent, spirited writer at
tracted the most brilliant men to
her home, among them Pope gnd
Addison. A story is told Of q yio-
lent declaration of love offered
her by Pope-and Of the manner
in which she laughed him 10 -idi-
cule. Al war on paper then was
waged between them.
Her briIliance was largely re-
sponsible for the appointment OF
her husband as ambassador to
Turkey. to which country she &C
companied him. During her resi-
dence under the star and cres-
cent she began the correspond
ence which placed her among the
first of epistolary writer's.
It was during the later years Of
her life that she grew so indif-
ferent to her PERSONAL appear
ance that for eleven years she did
not look at her face in a mirror.
This period was a part OF the
twenty-five years she spent as
resident Of Italy.
Lady Montagu is described as
one Of the few women Of history
able to present as brave a front
to sorrow as she did to good for
tune. Her trouble was caused
chiefly by her son, VINO turned

gun and in such campaigns Of edu-
cation as that under way by the
Rock Island lines great deal Of
good will be done. The American
Tree Association is glad to CO.
operate in such educational cam
paigns. The people of this country
must be introduced to trees. They
must be brought to know the value
Of the individual tree on home
plot or on street. For that reason
we are organizing great army OF
tree planters and making every
one Of them a member OF the
American Tree Association. We
want an honor roll of millions VINO
have registered their trees when
the centennial of Arbor Day comes
in 1872. Celebrate that centennial
by planting the tree NOW.
There is hardly a situation IN
which trees will not grow. Study
that situation and make your
plans to join the great army OF
tree planters The American Tree
Association Is making every tree
planter a member. Just send Tor
application blank and include a
2-cent stamp for tree-planting sug-
gestions. The tree planter is Q
home maker and much better citi-
zen for having planted a tree. In
tree planting, time Is precious. As
the old ScotchmaA told his son,
.Be stickin' in q tree, Jock, when
ye' haze nuthin' else to do, for the
time goes on just the same" When
the American people come to a
realization of tree values they viii
have hecoma nation of tree plant
ers. And when they have become
a nation of tree planters they will
demand reforestation projects that
win put the millions OF acres of
idle land in this country to work.

Mad Musician

~ ONE. - Don Lorenzo Perosi,
celebrated maestro OF sacred
~ music, who, according 10
eminent specialists and music
critics, has been of unstable mind
for several years, has returned to
public life, and in so doing mas
had a glorious revenge on the
critics and doctors.
His temperance was at the ca
thedral at Farriano, when he con-
Quoted a performance Of his Well
known work, 1.-THE Passion OF
Christ"
This he followed with new
work, "The Psalm Of David,
which was received with frantic
delight by the critics and ac-
claimed by them in glowing terms.
Perosi now announces that no
composed his new work when no
was deemed to have gone COM
pletely insane.
The critics and doctors are now
busy looking for excuses. Their
favorite one seems to be that Pc
rosi must have a dual personality.
The Washington times., 1923-11-14

TUST as ignorance excuses no
man in the eyes Of the law,
y so ignorance OF her penalties
Will not excuse mankind when
Nature collects her terrible toll
because her rules have been
violatted. Under most conditions
Nature Will reproduce herself, but
man has cut the forests without
providing for new growth and
fire has ravaged and insects de-
stroyed them. Man must fight
the last two and at once give
thought to replenishing idle
acres else Nature will pronounce
q Judgment from which there will
be no appeal.
The time to act is now. A
Senate committee is investigating
the forest situation. But back Of
this committee must be the un-
derstanding Of the taxpayer, for
he Is the one who must put an
o. X. on the suggestions OF the
committee, writes Charles La
throp Pack, in the Southwestern
Colonization Journal. of Fort
Worth, Tex. For example, the
fact that the virgin forests OF
this country once covered 822,.
600, 900 acres, while today only
one-sixth Of that vast wealth is
left Is news to most people. It
Is estimated that the merchant
able timber still standing is some
thing over two trilIion board feet
and one-half of this is in Cali
fornia, Washington; and Oregon.
This means heavy freight rates
and long hauls to the centers OF
manufacturing. In the face Of
this our forests are making an
nual growth OF less than one
fourth ~ total consumption.
These things the average man
does not know. Neither does ne
realize that the cost of forest
products affects everything.
The most faithful friend Of man
Is the forest. It provides him with
materials to build homes and fur
nish fuel. 1t aids agriculture by
preventing floods and 1t puts sur
plus rainfall in the soil for the
use OF farm crops. 1t supplies the
foundation of all our railroads. The
forest Is the producer of fertile
soil and 1t gives employment to
millions OF workmen. 1t Is the best
organized feature of the plant
world. The forest is not a collec-
ton Of different kinds of trees, but
1t is a permanent asset which VIII
yield large returns over long Pc
RODS when properly managed.
There should be a forest crop in
this country every year just as
the farmer provides for corn and
wheat crop.
Our forests have been recklessly
squandered for generations. 1t is
not too late to remedy the situa-
ton. The work has just been be-
