STOPPING THE EARTH.
It Would Generate Heat Enough to
Turn Our Globe to Vapor.
Tile stopping of a projectile always
results in the generation of heat. The
velocity anil weight of a projectile be
ing known, the amount of heat devel
oped by its stoppage can be calculated.
In the case of large bodies moving
rapidly the result of the calculation is
something astounding.
For example, the earth weighs 0.000.-.
000,000,000 tons and travels in its or
bit at tlie rate of over eighteen»niiles
a second. Should it strike a target
strong enough to stop its motion the
heat developed by the shock would he I
sulliciciit not merely to fuse the earth, j
but also to reduce a large portion of it i
to vapor, it lias been calculated that
the amount of heat generated by a col- ]
lision so colossal would equal that ob j
tabled from the burning of fourteen
globes of coal each equal to the earth i
in size.
And should the .earth after its stop .
page fall into the sun, as it certainly 1
would do, the amount of heat that'
would lie developed by its impact on i
the sun would be equal to that gener- i
ateil by the combustion of 5,000 earths
of solid carbon.
Two Waterloos.
it is a very curious fact that a good
many people do not know that two
battles were fought at Waterloo. Both
of these were fought against the
French, the first under the command
of the Duke of Marlborough on Aug.
17, 1705, who on this date actually oc
cupied the same ground as the Duke of
Wellington did a little more than a
century later. June 17. 1S15. the only
difference being that the former was
marching on Brussels anil the latter
i was marching from Brussels. In the
j first battle the French were defending
Brussels. They marched out to meet
Marlborough, hut owing to the slack
ness on the part of Schlangenburg. the
Dutch general, who was lighting with
him, it was not a success, Marlborough
only taking a few of the French troops
as prisoners. The following one, fought
against Napoleon by Wellington, proved
to be one of the greatest victories ever
recorded in the annals of England.
On a Monday Morning.
Monday morning is a hard test l'ur
| the Institution which we call life. Life
I may be all very well on Saturday
night and Sunday morning, but how
about Monday morning? If you wake
up then with a pleasurable anticipa
tion of tile week of work which is
ahead of you, you arfe a happy man.
The instinct of the bad boy who plays
truant never quite dies out of us. One
dreams of a Monday morning wlieu
tin; sun is shining and the air is clear,
of slipping quietly into one's clothes,
of tiptoeing softly out of the house,
of scaling the fence and crossing the
meadow and losing oneself in the al
luring woods, while time clocks re
main unpuuclied and whistles blow in
vain.—San Francisco Bulletin.
Improving It.
A foreigner meeting an American
frieml saiil to him. "How are you?"
The latter replied. "Out of sight."
The man considered this very clever
and decided to use the expression on
the next occasion. Shortly after lie
was met by a friend, who asked. “IIow
are you?" With visible pride lie an
swered. "You don't see me."—New
York Globe.
She Was Safe.
Little four-year-old Mabel was run
ning downhill, holding her dress tight
ly.
“Be careful," called her mother, “or
you will fall."
“Oh. no. I won't," replied Mabel,
“’cause I’m holding tight to myself."
Reassured.
“What is this white spot on that
goldfish I bought from you?”
“'He lias simply shed a scale.”
'"Oh. I thought maybe the plating
was wearing off. — Pittsburgh Post.

periodical “ sharpening up ? ”
