DEATH SHOWS CARELESSNESS

The death of Joseph (Kid) Holmes
of Chicago Monday night is doubtless
due to negligence on the part of the
promoter and managers of both fight
ers, and not the fighters themselves,
as it is the duty of such officials to
see that ring is well padded before
the contestants enter it. The New
Jersey boxing commission is having
some awful times these days.

During the first half of the

that during the second half of
the circuit it will keep ahead of
the other, but 1t will gradually

again at the starting point-the
one at Al and the other stimuli

by following out the successive
stations from p and from 4, on
the right-hand side of the dia-
gram.
While the movement in the cir
cular orbit is uniform throughout,
that in the ellipse is continually
accelerated first positively and
then negatively. 1t travels slow
est at A and fastest at p. At A
its speed is too small to maintain

hand side of the orbit are the ex-
act reverse of those on the left
hand side. so that it travels back
to A in precisely the other hair
of the same ellipse that 1t fol-
lowed in going to p. And, where
ever it may be in its orbit, the
suns attraction upon it varies
inversely with the square of the
distance. Since the distance OF
the planet in the circle never
changes, it experiences always
the same attraction. But II II

ferent circle, the attraction would
be correspondingly changed in
accordance with the inverse
square of the new distance.
