In the experiments conduct'ed two round metal balls were dropped into the center of a shaft by burning threads by which they were suspend- ed. so as to give them no lateral mo- tion. It was tried to catch the balls in a box of clay in the bottom of the shaft. None of them was caught. One ball was never found afterward. The \other was found in the east wall of the shaft only a few hundred feet below the surface. An Appeal to Vanity. A Mussulman general gained a vic- tory over the Greeks and captured their leader. Having summoned the prisoner into his tent. he asked him what treatment he expected from his conqueror. “It you make war like a king." replied the Greek. “release me: it you make it like a trader. sell me; if you make it like a butcher. slaugh- ter me." The Mussulman general set him free. The strangest feature of the phenom- enon. however. is to be observed when the "emanation" commences to thaw. when from the surface of the sur- rounding liquid air brilliant spangles of light stream upward, producing a most beautiful and dazzling effect.- Birmingham AgeHcrald.

The world stood with gaping mouth and baited breath when science an. nounced the phenomenon of frozen air, but wonderment has probabty reached its limit wuen one learns that such an intangibleand wei, btless thing as light has been frozen. The explanation is that the earth is revolving from west to east. which gave the ball an eastward component in its fall because a particle on the surface of the earth is traveling at a higher rate ”or speed than one nearer the center. although at the same angu- lar velocity. Thus a ball or rock drop- ped in the shaft will strike the east wall a few hundred feet from the sur- face. possibly then rebounding several times in its drop until it lodges on a timber or on a level.-Engineering Mag- azine. ' Curious Effect o'f Dropping Rocks Down , a Deep Mine Shaft. In reference to the deep mine shaft: at Calumet some experiments conduct- ed by members of the faculty or the Michigan College of Mines are inter- eating. It had been noticed that in the _vertical shafts at the Tamarack mine if some are or rock were spilled near the surface men working in the bottom of the shaft a mile below were not much bothered and sometimes only observed “a little dust.” it is stated that a car of broken rock could be dumped Into the shaft without in- jury to a man standing directly under- neath a mile down. The reason is that the rock would never reach the bottom. but would lodge in the sides ‘of_ the shaft on the tunbers that protrude a few inches. at intervalsâ€"that is. the rock would not fall straight. since these shafts are exactly vertical.

When you use the racket in playing tennis you do not stop to think what it means and how diflir'ult it has been to trace the word. Some thought that it was so called because of the noise made by the hall striking it. but this is impossible.
