Q. What would be the action of
a weight dropped into hole bored
entirely through the earlh's center

A. The approximate action of
the weight can be determined as
follows: Assuming for the moment.
that the earth is a perfect sphere
of uniform density and neglecting
It's aXial rotation, the weight re-
leased Just at the surface of the
earth would fall with increasing We
loclty until after about p minutes
it passed the earth's center at about
5 miles second. 1t would then
ascend he second half of the hole
with velocity decreasing until it
would stop Just at the surface of
the hole in the opposite side of the
earth, taking the same to rise as it
did to fall. This performance would
immediately be repeated in the OPP
poslte direction and so on indefinite
ly. But one effect of the axial ro-
taton of The earth would be a
pressure by the falling object
against the east wall of the hole, as
the weight tried to keep as great
an eastward velocity as it had at the
ear'h's surface. Under the influence
OF this friction, the weight would on
each passage, travel shorter dis
lance from the center. with smaller
maximum velocity until. after many
oscillations, it finally stopped exact

dangerous, Prof. G. H. Blakeslee. OF

round table conference on Chino
japanese relations of the institute of

The main issue, Prof. Blakeslee
said, is clear. China is determined
to maintain its sovereign rights in a
province which it holds an integral
part of it's territory While Japan is
determined to maintain its special
rights, gained at a time when China
was a house divided against itself.
The side of China was taken by
General V. Yakhontoff, Russian,
who declared that Japan's threaten
ing attitude is preventing uniiication
of China and that this attitude could
not be defended by any sophisms.
NJ. Zumoto, Japanese publicis'.
who has been defending his country
against criticism from all quarters
at the institute. declared that Japan
has no objection to China's claim to
tariff autonomy but that she does
not want to see cheap goods which
she produces taxed at the same rate

there was no doubt that the major

with a certain measure of sober
thankfulness for benefits achieved
