THE CURVED BALL.

carve a ball, even though he don aet
know why be na do so except that
the taatber must be held In a certain
way. Poesibly a half doaen of the
anjor league twtrters knew something
about the science of the curve, bat
cooperatively tew anderstond why
they nn produce their "benders." The
Bctontlllc American glvn toe follow
ing aa the scientific explanation of the
matter:
"The pitcher la the field telle us that
the bell enrvn because hs glvn It a
twist bat edeatide-ally tbis will not do.
Why will the twist make the curve?
If a kali wen thrown in e certain di
racttco aad If the torn of gravitation
won aet at work the bell would con
tin os on la a atralght line forever.
Soan force of reaiatance le then at
work whan a ball la made to deviate IB
a curve from Ito straight course. If a
toother Is dropped to a vacuum In an
exhausted receiver of an air pump it
win drop Uke a shot, but if It Is drop
fed eat in the sir It will go down ir
regularly and alowly, shifting from
eide to side.
"It is the (tmoephers which eausn
the ball to carve. Bearing in mind
that the atmoepbere la a comprenlble,
elastic gaa, we find that when the bell
teavn the hand of the pitcher with e
rapid rotary motion It 'impingn upon
a coutlnuoua elaatlc cuahlon.' and
thla moderate mlatance, or friction,
changn its courn in the direction
which Is glvsn to the rotary motion.
Tahe an outaboot of a right handed

tary motion to the left, and the ball
goes to the left becaun the atmosphsn.
eempreealble and elaatlc, la packed tnto
an elaatlc cushion Just ahead of the

motion, and the friction, which la vary

A NOTABLE MEETING.

The first recorded public meeting in
the interact of "woman's righto" waa
held In the town of Medford, Man.. In
1701. The gallery of the church was
occupied by the young unmarried peo
pie of the congregetlon, one slds and
one half the front gallery being given
to the young men, tbs other slds and
the other half being given to ths young
women. Bat tn ths sntlng In this
eventful ynr the young men were gtv
en the entire front of the gallery aa
well, and the young women won only
allowed ooe side of the gallery.
Then It wss that things began to
happen. Treatment like this wasn't te
be tolerated even for s moment Th»
blood of the futun mothers of the
Bevolutlon wss fully aroused, snd the
young women made such sn uproar
and commotion tbat It speedily became
a town matter, and a town meeting
wae called to restore to tbem their
rigbte In half of the front gallery.
Tbe youun meu of the day wore bit

ef privilege waa raeented by tbe young
bechelora to such e degree tbat they
brake e window of tbe church, forced
aa entrance and hacked the pew In

young mop of Newbury wen fined 910

Berlin la ruled by municipal experts
It has Its wretchedness and Its despair,
bat these things are not permitted to
Increase. Te be oat of. work In Berlin
Is a crime, even as It Is In London, but
with this difference—in Berlin the mu
nicipality legislates for labor In a fash
ion which makes Idleness all but lnde>
feasible.
The laws to this end mar "ot com
mend themselves to English minds, for
the Germans are not sort hearted In
such matters, but they have thia en
gaging recommendation, they succeed.
Let a ragged man make hi* appear
ance In Frledrlchstrssse or tbe Lindens
or la any of the numerous opeu spaces,
and a policeman Is at him lu s min
ute. "Your papers P demands the man
of law. The beggar produces bis docu
ments. If It Is proved that be has
slept In the aaylum for the homeless
more than a certain number of nights
be Is forthwith conducted, willynllly, to
the workhouse and made to labor for
his board and lodging.
Now, the workhouse In Germany is
not a prison, but the vagrant would as
leave go to the one ss to tbe other.
The administration of the workhouse
Is conducted with iron severity. Ev
ery ounce of bread and ever; drop of
thin soup consumed by tbe workhouse
man la paid for a thousandfold by tbe
sweat of hla brow. 80 It conies about
that tbe man least disposed to work,
the born vagabond, finds It more
agreeable to toll for hla bread In the
market than to fall Into tbe bands of
a paternal government.
Berlin takes advantage of tbe sys
tem In Germany which numbers and
tickets every child born In the father
land. No man can roam from district
to district, dunging his nauie and hla
life's story with every flitting. He Is
known to the police from the hour of
bis blrtb to tbe hour of hla deatb. Swr
a few pfenulga I can read the hiutory
of every person In Berlin. Therefore
the municipality baa an easy task. Ev
ery citizen's life story is known tr
them, end every vagrant la punish*
for hla crime against tbe community.
Moreover, every person of bumble
means la Insured by the state. Even
clerka, shop assistants and servants
are compelled to Insure against slck
oeos and agalnat old age. This Insur
ance'ls effected by tbe psatlng Into a
book of certain stamps every week,
and It Is tbe duty of each employer
to see that this contract la faithfully
obeyed. And tbe atate has at Beellts
an enormous sanitarium costing 10.-
000,000 uiarke (£600,000), where the In
valided citizen Is sent with bis pen
sion In order to expedUe his valuable
return to tbe ranks of the wage earn
ers. It paya tbe city of Berlin to nurse
Its sick and cherish Its lnvallda. The
whole object of tbe municipality is to
sscure the physical and Intellectual
wall being of lta citizens. and on thia
task It concentrates Its labors with
amazing energy.
Beriln baa a buge building reeem
bling s factory where the unemployed,
whole families, are received and pro
vided for, but no one muat take advan
tage of this hospitality more than Ave
times In three mouths. Consider thia
point of vjsw. If you ere homeless five
times in three months you are dubbed
■ reckless creature and packed off to
tbe workbouse. Private enterprise has
provided another asylum where the
bomeleee may come five tlmea In one
month and wbere the police are not al
lowed to euter at night. 1 have visited
thia plsce and aeen the people who at
tend It, some decent enough, others
criminal lu every line of their faces.
There are many of these desperate
meu In Beriln, many of these dirty,
ragged and uubappy wretches, doomed
from tbe day of their blrtb, but tbey
dare not ahow themselves In tbe decent
world aa they do In London. They
slink Into tbeee asylums at 8 o'clock:
they have their clothes disinfected:
they cleanse themselves under shower
baths; they est bread and drink soup,
and then they go to bed at 8 o'clock
like prisoners to their cells.
Now, this system is a bard one. fo\
when once a man gets down In Berlin
It Is slmost Impossible for blm to rise.
But It baa tlila clear advantage—every
body feels that It la better to wora
than to fall Into tbe bauda of the law.
Bags and misery dare not lie about J
In tbe parks or scatter disease through
tbe crowded stcfets. If tbere Is any
virtue In tbe unemployed tbe state will
certaluty develop It as well aa It Is poa ,
alble to do so. Tbere Is a central bu
reau for providing men with work, am*
when a man knows that not to work
mesne tbe workhouse he solicits em
ployment here and elsewhere with such
a will .as siuiost compels wages. In
ooe year tbe atate baa secured employ
ment for 50,000 men.
The citizen is provided with sanitary
dwellings, with unadulterated food
with schools and technical colleges and
with Insurance for sickness and old
sge. For a penny he can travel almon
from one end of Berlin to the other by
electric tramway or electric railway
His streets are clean, brilliantly light
ed and noiseless; his cafes and music
balls are Innumerable. He lives In s
palace. And all this la tbe result of
municipal government by experts In
stead of by amateurs.— London Hail.
