HINDU SHOT BY
MASKED BANDIT
NEAR HOLTVILLE
Jose Rivera Jailed to
Await Injury
Outcome

Jose Rivera, so years old, is held
at the county Jail on a charge of
highway robbery, with the probabil-
ity of additional charges being made
against him, depending upon the
outcome Of the injuries received by
Rham Singh, Hindu, who was shot
by Rivera last night, near Holtville.
Rivera was taken in custody by
NJ. w. Beck, at whose ranch the
shooting occurred, and was turned
over to the Holtville police.
According TO the story told this
morning by Beck, he and five Hin
dus who work for him were in their
house on his ranch, when Rivera en-
tered, masked, and pointing Il gun
at Beck, asked him for money. Beck
refused and Rivera shot the gun, the
bullet striking Singh who was in
direct line with the gun.
The bullet struck Singh squarely
in the forehead, and only the fact
that the gun was defective, saved
his life. The weapon was of cheap
make and in passing through the
HuIHiej lHc DuIlel WIS tOrH III TWO,
causing it to lose velocity, and in
stead of crashing through Singh S
skull, it inflicted flesh wound on
his forehead. He is confined at the
hospital in Holtville, and his con-
dition is not considered serious.
Beck and the other Hindus over
powered Rivera and held him until
the officers at IIoltville could be
notified.
1t was said TINS morning that the
charge against Rivera may be chang
cd to assault with intent to commit
murder, which provides for more
serious penalty than the present
charge.

"a YOUNG man from hign
school, working with me,
and stubborn to have ms own
way, argued one day ina.
weight, or a ship. sinking INTO
the sea would become lighter as
It continued sinking, ana tnat
an airship or balloon going abort
would become heavier as It con.
tinued rising. argued tnat any.
thing sinking into the sea- OF
into the depths or the eartn'
would become heavier, while any
thing rising would become ngnter
because of the law Of gravitation.
kindly enlighten us on this rather
strange subject. c. 8.
wYOU are entirely right in your
confidence in the law OF
gravitation. The farther a
body is from the center OF the
earth's gravitation the less Its
weight, and the nearer 1t is 20
that center, the greater its weight
except that within the globe
itself the weight increases with ap-
proach to the center only until
a certain distance below the sur
race (aDOuC DIV HlAACSl HOS DSSAA
reached, below which the weight
begins to decrease and it becomes
zero at the center.
The reason for this decrease or
weight or gravity below certain
depth in the globe is that, by the
law Of gravitation inside a spheri-
cal body the material contained
in the whole shell lying above
the level Of the point Of observa-
ton exerts no force toward the
center. Consequently, as the
center is approached, the attrac-
tive mass decreases. If the density
of the earth were perfectly uni
form the decrease OF gravity
would begin at the first descent
below the surface.
Weight in Water.
But outside the earth, i. e.. above
its surface, there is no exception
to the law that the weight de-
creases with increase of height or
distance from the center. But the
decrease is small for all distances
attainable by man. Thus. at a
height of ten miles, the loss of
weight would be only one 2OOth,
or, a body weighing 1000 pounds
at the earth's surface, would weigh
about 995 pounds there.
Your stubborn" young man
The Washington times., 1925-02-21

from the high school Is perhaps
thinking of the fact that IL a body
is submerged In water it can be
lifted much more easily than when
it is out of water. 1t appears to be
lighter, and IL its density is but
slightly more than that of water
IL will seem to have parted with
virtually it's whole weight. And
a spring balance attached to 1t
would show this.
But the real weight is not al
tered, only since the body is sub
merged the water takes up fits
weight, which is distributed by
pressure in all directions through
the fluid. But IL this apparent
loss of weight by a submerged
body was the basis Of your oppo-
should have supposed it to work
just the other way in the air.
How Air Lifts.
The fact is that a body light
enough to float in the air, like a
balloon, has it's weight taken up
by the air, which acts upon it
just as the water acts on the sub
merged body. In both cases the
principle OF buoyancy, which
causes liquid or fluid to press
upward on a body immersed in it
with a force equal to the weight
of a quantity of the fiquid, or the
fluid, Of the same volume as that
Of the immersed body, is In ac-
ton.
A fish floating in the water pre-
cisely resembles balloon float
ing in the air. The balloon can
rise or descend by changing its
relative bulk or it's relative
weight, and so can, and does, a
fish, by the aid Of its adjustable
swim bladder. But, because the
fish floats. and feels weightless in
the water is does not follow that
its weight is really any less than
1t Is when out OF water. When
you pull in your two-pound trout
it is mostly the struggles Of the
fish and the resistance IF the
water that makes the pole bend,
the weight being supported by
the water. But as soon as it is
out of water the weight of the
fish falls upon. your line.
So, if you pull down a balloon
by a rope you are virtually add
ing to the weight, just rs you
add to the weight OF boat when
you step into 1t.
