lis this possible?" asks the
uuestioner. Eyes, it is possible,
on account of the fact that the
centrifugal force OF the earths ro-
tation has a horizontal component
which drives the water toward the
equator, where the force is greal-
est. AS Professor Young has pic
turesquelv said:
IF the earth's rotation were to
cease the Mississippi river would
at once have it's course reversed,
since it's mouth is several thou
sand feet farther from the center
of the earth than are it's sources.
Returning to the Nile we find
that it rises on the equator and
flows north to 80 degrees. Con
sequently it's mouth Is more than
10000 feet nearer the earth's
center than is its souce. On the
other hand, centrifugal force OPP

The case of the Amazon is pc
culiar. Running in the main
parallel with the equator, it's
course may be called level as
fas as any change of distance
from the center of gravity is con
cerned, But it's waters are sub
jected to a general law of de-
Election, applying TO all moving
objects on the earth's surface
a result of the rotation. In the
Northern hemisphere the deflec.
ton Is toward the right hand,
but in the Southern toward the
left.
A glance at map will show
that the Amazon in it's long
course eastward. actually sways
slightly northward, or toward the
left. so that while it is degrees
south Of the equatO in the Andes,
its mouth is on the equator. This
may or may not be a consequence
of the law of DETECTION.

There is another very long
river, the Amazon. which flows

east. so that its head and it's
mouth are at practically the ga me

earth, If we neglect the fact
that it rises in the Andes noun

There are some curious and in

this matter, which impress a
vivid idea Of the shape of the
earth. and of the consequences
of it's rotation.
First, let us see the effect Of
the "fIatteniug" of the earth
about the poles. A section OF
our globe, cut through the poles,
would show il as an "oblate
spherOid.'' measuring about 1874
miles less from pole to pole than
through the equator The true
general outline Of the section
would be elliptical. This shape
Of the earth is undoubtedly an
effect Of it's rotation, which. dur

it in about the poles.

GGIIOW do you do?" is the best
IA thing to say when ac-

can never be wrong IL you say
that. This is an excellent thing
to remember.
On the other hand, Pleased to

awkward, and If you say it you
will be made fun of by people
who know what's what. So prom
Use me that you won't say It.
One Of the reasons why this ex-
preston Is not proper is that
usually. in an introduction, you
do not know whether or not you
are necessarily pleased at the
introduction. Another reason is
that it is not good form to use
subjectless sentences. and this
sentence has no subject-you have
