WHAT IS GRAVITATION? Some Examples That Seem to Answer the Weighty Question. Two men at antipodes on the earth’s surface are drawn directly toward each other. Each is at the apex of a cone of the other. These cones interlock at th'' earth’s center and are there equal, but the greater part of the mass of each cone and consequently the greater mass of gravity holding each to his place is past the center of the earth and culmi nates at the feet of the other. Every point of the earth’s surface pulls in a straight line through the center of the earth, not stopping at it; losing part of the pound in proportion as it approaches the center; then, pass ing, regaining it again in proportion as it approaches the opposite surface. So that half way past the center the pound which at the center was nothing has now become a half pound, and at the antipodal surface a pound again. Make the center of the earth the com mon apex of an indefinite number of cones radiating to the surface. Accord ing to mass, gravity pulls from the cen ter, and the center is again the point of nugation. If gravity is an active essence pro duced by molecular motion, if being a living essence, it is therefore a perish able one, it follows that in a conglom erate mass as the earth, some substances will probably exhaust sooner than oth ers by reason of expiration of molecular activity, if that be its producer, or from other or any cause. Being an active ex pending force, it must have a producer, and that producer must have supplies of force producing matter. These supplies, however great, must exhaust. Differ ent qualities of matter may contain this force producing quality in differing de grees and qualities. If so, the minor will sooner exhaust. A feather, a leaden ball and a dry stick will fall through space to our atmosphere with equal speed because their atoms and the atoms , of the earth mutually attract each oth er regardless of shape or size. Gravity is atomic, and every atom is the equal of every other atom, no matter how diffuse or how concrete the mass of the , object of which they are parts. But , the dry stick may have lost its active j principle—gravity. Its essence produc ing principles may have been exhausted. ; Nevertheless it would be grasped by the overwhelming gravity of the earth and brought down in company with its fel lows. Gravity pulls laterally as well as per pendicularly. The weight of the earth has been calculated from the pull of a mountain on a plumb line. A person standing in a narrow can yon, with walls towering hundreds or thousands of feet above him on either side, has much better footing than if on the pinnacle of a monument. In one case he is ield up by lateral gravity. In the other he is without support.—R. W- Musser in Cincinnati Enquirer. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castorla.

Rockmart’s Marshal Captures One-Other News of That Section. Rockmart, Ga., January 7.—Last Sai urday night the city marshal, Gus Will iams, became suspicious of a steady stream of negroes and some whites that wended their way towaids a certaiu por tion of the town. He decided to investi and cautiously creeping around the cor ner of the Christian church found a blind tiger in full blast. He promptly arrested the two parties who gave their names as Hutchinson and Little from Taylorsville. Sunday morn ing a brother of the former came to the city and went on a $lO bond for the ap pearance of each in the police court Tuesday morning. The men left town on the run, but neither are apt to be here Tuesday to answer to the charge of selling whisky without license. Sunday evening at the bride’s home near the city, Mr. James Clyatt and Miss Mollie Griffin were united in mar riage. Miss Jessie Sawver, of Cedartown,who has been the guest of Miss Mary Parsons durines the holidays, returned home Saturday. Misses Mrmie Whitebead aid Daisy Davis, of Rome, who have been spend ing the past several days with the for mer’s parents, have returnid home. Mir-s May York, one <f Rockmart’s chaiming young ladies, is visiting friends and relatives in Douglasville. Miss L zzte Terhuue spent Sunday in Borne the guest of hvT son, Mr. Cornelius Terhune. Queer Way. ®f the Toad. Paternal affection is not perhaps the precise emotion that we should be dis posed to look for in the cold blooded frog. But the Surinam toad appears to exhibit this praiseworthy attitude of mind toward his numerous progeny When his mate lays her eggs, the solicit ous father p’aces them carefully upon her back, where in due time their pres ence causes an irritation that produces numerous small holes, into which the eggs forthwith drop. In these cells, which, from mutual pressure, get to be hexagonal, like honeycomb, the young frogs are finally hatched, and for a bit scramble abo- t their mother’s back, hid ing in theii nurseries when danger threatens.—l andon News. clever Dog:. Mr. Stacy Marks’ anecdote of the money finding dog, which he attributes to Landseer, is a very prince among all stories of the kind. The dog’s master, in the presence of a skeptical friend, hid a £5 note in the bole of a tree when the dog was paying him no attention. “Go, fetch!” he said, some time afterward, while returning by another road, with out further explanation. The dog trotted off, and it was a few hours before he joined the two at home. As there wer-» no signs of a note, the skeptical friend grew satirical. But the host opened the dog’s mouth, and 5 sov ereigns were concealed under his tongue. He had found the note, been to the bank er’s and exchanged it for gold.—Spec tator.

At a meeting of the board of direc tors of the Rome Land Company, held on the 10th inst., a stockholders’ meet ing of the company was called to con vene at 12 o’clock m. January 10 1895, at the First National Bank of Rome, in Rome. Ga. The company has by decree recently racovered a large portion of its lands heretofore sold. The object of the meeting is to take suitable action for the continuance of the business of the company, to revoke the resolution di recting the board to wind up the busi ness of the company and to surrender its charter, and to take such other action as the interests of the company may require.

Washington, Jan. 7.—A meeting of the senate Republican steering commit tee was held during the morning, with all the members present except Messrs. Washburn, Cullom and Dolph. Full discussion was had, but they were unable to agree upon any plan that would enable the Democrats to make any change in the existing tariff law. The failure of the committee to agree is equivalent, one of its members said, to notification to the Democrats that they might as well abandon all hope. LEMON ELIXIR. A pleasant Lemon Tonic.

It is a sales A nan who never sleeps and is never weary—who goes alter business early and late: who accosts the D merchant in hie store, the scholar in bis study, the lawyer in his office, the iady in her house, the traveler V on the car; a salesman whom no purchaser can avoid, who can be in a thousand places at once and speak E to thousands of people daily, saying to each one the best thing in the best manner.
