This nK'stiou Is sent to the Scientific American by correspondent, aml4he editor of that magazine answers it as follows: Sir Isaac Newton stated three laws of motion which from his Uuie to the lresent have been universally accepted true. Theecond law is, "A, given force produces the same effect whether It acts upon a body at rest or In mo tion, whether It acts alone or together with other fcrees." You will see that the second part of tnis law coven the case of a ball dropped from a tablo nd another ball shot horizontally from the same level fit the same instant. The first ball falls by the force of grav Iby alone. The second ball has, as you ur, two forces acting upon it The ball obeys both forces at the same time. It falls ns If gravity acted alone. It goes by the blow as if the blow nct d alone. Both balls reach the floor t the same Instant. Queerest Town In England. Tha MaMorhorn.

South Africa natives along the Or-J age river have a way of producing "milk," which, primitive as it is, vies In Ingenuity with the method of those who believe in the synthetic produc tion of what the journalist, hardup for a synonym, has been known to call "'the lacteal fluid." After cutting the top from a cocoanut, the native places the. nut over hot ashes, so that the warmth may cause the fat and "but ter" contained. In ' the busk to be ab sorbed by the milk. This changes the niHcIe quality and gives It a palatable taste. Ia order to deal with several wits at a time the natives construct Tough "holders" from old iron lioops.

Dyer In '.'Great Men at Play." Malaria, Chills and Fevers How Spread and How Prevented. Robeson County Board of Health. In order to - prevent .malaria or chills land f eVers it :"1s necessary to know its cause and how it ia trans ferred from one person to another. There is no theory about the disease. It'haa been proven thousands of times that the germ of malaria gi.'rws in the, blood and a person attacked by this disease may be troubled with, it, for month or years. One person cannot catch raclajfa from another person, but if a certain kind of mosquito bites a person who has malarial germs in his blood," the mosquito gets the germs of disease. Then if the mosquito bitoe another person it will leave the germs in the blood of the latter, and about a week later this person will have ma laria. It was formerly thought that breathing air from swamps or drink ing impure water caused malaria, but we know now that these ideas are not correct and that the disease is spread only by mosquitoes. To prevent malarial then it is ne necessary to wage a lontinual war against mosquitoes. They breed in stagnant water. It would be wise to. destroy their breeding places by draining the stagnant water off. If this is not possible pour kerosene oil over it one pint to the 100 square feet every 10 or 12 days. In case of large bodies of water fish, will pre vent the growth of mosquitoes. Doors and "window should be screened to keep mosquitoes out. of the home. A further protection . during the mos quito season would be to .fake two or three doses of quinine each week as a preventive. RIB .
