Our Physical Puzzle The End. In our last we presented a proposition made by " A,"-of this city, endorsed by the New York Scientific American, and proved and mathematically demonstrated on appeal to "Jack," of St. Louis, 'which proposition may be fairly stated as follows: " If two bah?s cotton of equal size and weight be subjected (when placed together in a press, side by side,) to a pressure of say 2.000 tons, it may Kbe compressed to such a density (and bulk) as to weigh,, say 50 pounds to each cubic foot; if this pres sure be then removed and one of the bales is lifted and placed upon the other in the same relative position to the jaws of the press that it held before a pressure of 1,000 tons exerted upon the two ; bales in their new relative position will compress them to the same bulk and density as be fore viz: 50 pounds per cubic foot be cause the surface of the two bales in contact with the jaws of the press will now be only 7iaJf&s great as that in contact with them before. ! Now let us see what we gain in the way of practical results. ' As 1,000 tons will thus compress these two bales, so in like manner would 1,000 tons equally compress any other two bales of like size and weight, our press is exerting a We note now that pressure of only 1,000 tons, whereas it is capable of exerting a pressure of 2,000 tons. . To continue to work it in this way would show great lack of economy on our part. We therefore conclude to put other two bales in the same relative position to each other and to the jaws of the press as we did the first two. To give them that relative position we place them one upon the other beside the first two bales in the press. The whole power of 2,000 tons will now be very economically exerted upon these two piles of two I bales each, and result in compressing all four bales to a uniform density of 50 pounds per cubic foot. : i - A little reflection shows that we may now lift these last : two bales . and place them on top of the first two, and then place four more bales in the press beside these four and our 2,000 tons will in like manner compress the eight bales to a density of 50 pounds, per foot. And, O, wonder! we find that we can in like scan ner lift four of these, and, in fact, can pile any additional number of bales upon the first, and our press will eternally mash them all with its 2,000 tons, and its jaws smile wide for more. ! To come down if we look at the ' press we notice that the two bottom bales are in Ihe same relative position as those two which at first required our entire 2,000 tons for their compression. The same is true of each succeeding couple in the pile, and we suddenly wake up from our dream of pow er to feel that something has exploded, and that it is not the axiom: "A part (of our pow er) cannot be equal to or greater than the whole," in results produced. "Henry" is right, and "A" and "Jack" are wrong the Scientific to the contrary notwithstanding. i j A friend has suggested that "A" is right, because, "if a man weigh 200 pounds, and stand with one foot upon each of two weighing scales, be will weigh 100 pounds upon each; but if one pair of scales be lifted and placed upon the other, with the man on top. there will then be exerted a pressure of 200 pounds on the top scale, bale and a pressure of 200 pounds plus the weight of the top scale (bale will rest on the lower scale or bale." Which is an exceedingly plausible sug gestion. But let It be remembered ' that the bale is not represented by the msalel The scale takes the place of the prete; the weight on the leper is tha power, and the man is the bale Compressed raised by that power. In other wordB, we do not use two presses. . To : make the comparison a fair one -we would be obliged to put one press (and cotton) within the embrace of another. Our friend surely will net claim that when standing upon one scale. 7 if he were to raise one foot he would then exert , a pressure of 400 pounds, or, conversely, that if he were to exchange his number 8 shoes for number 16's, his weieht would then be reduced to 100 pounds? ; -- .- - -;. No. Put your man on the scale or your bales on the press in any way you please, and you cannot in any case realize a cop per's worth of difference , so long as the power exerted through the lever or the piston remains unchanged. We would not advise any one to invest largely in building presses with jaws that open wide. ' ' .' j The ' density is directly proportionate to the pressure and the quantity of cotton ultimately effected by .that pressure. ,.-Tbe comparative "surface ra 'Contact" wlthf the source of power has nothing to do with the question, in our opinion. ,: t ; ,i , j jQuite a number of gentlemen, , desirous of contesting the case, called at this office yesterday,A but as the discussion seemed likely J to encroach more ppbn our .limited space than wo had at first thought probable, A we are obliged to relinquish pur first Intern tion of giving a summary of all the views presented;' and to close up the affair with SATURDAY FEBRUARY 19; 1876. the foregoing remarks, which seem to us to cover the case, and which we bad already placed in the hands of the compositors ..be fore our first article appeared. : We shall be open to conviction, . however, upon : ex perimental proof. " A iriurderoue Assault. . . On Thursday night, about 8 o'clock, as a young man by the name of Jos. L. Roberts was on his way home, and when at a point somewhere - between Fourth 1 and . Fifth streets, on Princess, he was met by a party who acted in a very insolent manner walk--ing up deliberately' against 'him and 'even spitting upon him. Young Roberts asked him what he meant, and was answered by a volley . of , curses, followed by a 1 blow, when the two clinched and struggled for sometime. The fellow finally jumped to one side and rid himself of a sack; or coat which he. had round bis shoulders, and which seems to have impeded, his move- men!:, when he again rushed upon; young Robetts, striking: him a blow in. the left breast which felled him to the earth. See ing the young man fall, the desperado took to his heels and ran up Princess street to a corner above, where he disappeared, -The young man says - when' the ' fellow ap proached to make the second assault upon him he noticed that he ran his hand under neath his coat as if to draw a knlFe, ; and upon subsequent examination he found that he had been .stricken by, some sharp instrument which had, cut through" his thick vest, . overshirt and undershirt and grazed the skin . . of i his left breast iu the region of the heart, of which fact we had ocular demonstra tion yesterday morning. Had more force and momentum been given to the knife, dirk, or other instrument used, the blow would have no doubt resulted fatally. The young man says that while struggling they fell over some roots on the sidewalk, and that while on the ground he managed to pass bis hand over the fellow's head, by which means he ascertained that he was a colored man, the darkness preventing him from arriving at this knowledge by sight. Ae also says the man had a heavy set of chin whiskers, and smelt strongly of guano. Arrival of Bnrelars. Officer Carr, of Rocky Point Township, arrived here yesterday evenine with two prisoners Clem Wright and Willis Nixon, t both colored, the former having been com mitted by Justice A. Bameberg, in default of a justified bond in the sum of $200, on the charge of burglary, and the latter, in default of the same amount; as a State's witness. It appears that Nixon was ar rested on suspicion of being concerned in the robbery of peanuts from J. B. Mcpher son, Esq., a full account of which appeared in the Star a few weeks ago. Nixon, how ever, while emphatically protesting his own innocence, implicated Clem Wright in the robbery alluded to, upon which be (Nixon) was' released on his! own Recognizance in the sum of $50, for his appearance at Court. Subsequently, upon some new evi dence being adduced, be was re-arrested and committed as above stated. Upon be ing taken into custody the second time, and given to understand that he was known to be equally guilty with his confrere, if not more so, he was asked by the officer why he tried to put it on Clem Wright. "Why," says he, "If I and another man are in the rives drowning together, and I can save myself by placing my hand on his head, even if I shove him under, I have a right to do it." ; ; The two men were locked up to await the next term of the Superior Court.
