EVERYTHING WAS CHEAP.
Ju*t imagine Buying a Whole Sheep
For 10 Cents.
A countryman living juat beyond the
outskirts of London drove to the me¬
tropolis one day to order a few pro¬
visions, etc.
(By the way. this account l* perfect¬
ly true. It is not a problem or a joke.
The prices stated caa be verified.i
The countryman first went to the
nearest cobbler’s. There he bought a
good pair of shoes. Not shoddy foot¬
wear. carelessly turned out or even
machine made, but hand sewed and of
fine, strong leather. For this pair of
shoes he paid just 7 cents
Next he drove to a butcher stall In
Smithfield. There he bought a sheep, a
dozen chickens and ten pounds of beef.
For the sheep he paid 10 cents. For
the chickens he paid 1 Y? cents apiece,
or 18 cents for the dozen. The top
pounds of besf cost him a nickel. For
beef was half a ceat a pound.
Stowing away his purchases In his
big wagon, the farmer next stopped at
a fish stall, where for 10 cents he
bought twenty-five big codfish.
His visit to the g Fa n merchant cost
him mere. For he was forced to pay
15 cents for a bushel of ryo—a sum out
of all proportion to bis earlier pur¬
chases. It was cheaper, you aee. to buy
meat than the rye bread to eat it with
But his ensuing trip to the draper’s
for enough homespun cloth to provide
him with a winter suit atoned for the
high price of the groin. For h# found
that the stout homespun cloth was sell¬
ing at 12 cents an ell, or 9 8-ft centa a
yard.
The farmer had no trouble in carry¬
ing his wares home in his wagon. For
the wagon was large. He had driven
it to London full of firewood, and this
wagon load of wood be had sold for 12
cents.
The foregoing prices are all accurate.
The high cost of living had not yet hit
England. For. you see. all this hap¬
pened several years ago.
In fact. It was at tbs beginning of
the sixteenth century. — New York

METEORIC SHOWERS.
Why THsy Havi Little or Ns Effect
Upon tbs Earth’* Balance.
In Answer to the query. ’The earth
Is held In its orbit by the absolute bal
ance of centripetal ami centrifugal
forces, and (f the balance were dis¬
turbed tile earth should fly away |»to
space or fall to the sun. yet this bal¬
ance is continually disturbed by me¬
teors and other causes and no catas¬
trophe oc.Hr*: please explain.” Edgar
Lueien Larkin. In the New York Amer¬
ican. says:
"There is no centrifugal force a« such
In nature. What so appears Is reaction
against gravity due to the motion of
the earth. Inertia, an Inherent prop¬
erty of all matter, would forever main
tain a moving body In an absolutely
straight line in Its original direction
unless some outside force draws it
aside. The direction of drawing aside
Is always toward the outside disturbing
mass—the sun in this case And the
earth thus continually falls from a
straight line--a tangent—to its orbit
throngh a distance of one ninth of an
Inch during each second
“If gravitation should suddenly be
annihilated the earth would fly away
on a straight line into space. But
should a trillion tons of meteors sud¬
denly fall on the earth it would not fall
to the sun. but would still revoke
around it much faster on a smnller
orbit. The year would be shorter And
the new orbit assumed would be deter
mined in space by the equilibrium of
central gravitation and the reaction of
Inertia of the earth against it. But
since the setting up of the grand mas¬
ter clock in Greenwich ne variation of
the length of the sidereal year has
been detected. Therefore the mass of
ail the millions of u*-teors falling on
the earth dally Is too small to bare any
appreciable efTeet on the length of the
year.”
