All at Popular Prices Existing Conditions Would Be Very Greatly Upset by Increased Rotation. Conjecture has often lieen made ns to what would happen the earth were to rotate faster upon its axis than it does, of course, if it went 18 times as fast ns it does now, bodies at the equator would weigh nothing a person would jump up into the air and fail to come down ugain. A man might weigh 200 at the poles and nothing at the equator, while his weight would vary for intermediate points.

If lie approached the equator he would get lighter and if he receded from it he would get heavier. A man could carry a horse mi his shoulders very near the equator, while near either pole he could only onr-rv what one can now. Oil this account labor would he very dear nrar the poles and very cheap near the equator. It would certainly be interesting to know which section of the earth would be more populous whether everyone would go north for good wages or go south for cheap workmen. The railroad problem would be momentous unless the railroads all ran east and west where a uniform rate Would obtain on nny particular oast and west line.

Journeys to the south would bo even more jsipular than they are now, for they would make one- feel better and in buoyant spirits; more springy-, too. so that people could walk farther without getting tired, and could jump over any obstacle that presented itself without coming down with too hard a thump. There is no planet now known that has such a rapid rotation as is pictured here, but there are several where man would weigh a great deal less than on earth. On the moon a man would weigh only fifty or sixty pounds and could jump as many feet without suffering serious discomfort. Hut this state of af-I fairs obtains over the whole planet, be-, cause it fs due to absence of gravitation force and not to centrifugal, a would be the case on the rapidly rotating earth.

"tt umt AMUSEMENTS. Prohibitionists And Party. (Rutland Herald.) Evidently the simon-pure prohibitionist cares nothing for party or political principle, unless that party or that principle will forward hi own ends. So much has been abundantly proved by the Anti-Saloon league's manipulation of the Republican party in New York and of the Democratic party in other states. Now comes Mr.

Clifford If. Smith. Yet mont head of that mysterious and irresponsible organization, with a proposition to repudiate Republican principles and deliver the state to the Democrats, despite the fact that he has been industriously pledging Republicans to bis propaganda for the past three months. After the result of the Vermont primary was announced, which showed Mr. Clement to be nominated by a substantial plurality, Mr.

Smith called a meeting of the faithful all Republicans as we understand it and promptly endorsed the candidacy of Dr. D. Mayo, democratic nominee for governor, who had listened to the siren song and proposes to support the ratification of the Sheppard amendment Where does this leave the Republican candidates for senator and representative, who, after agreeing an Republicans to stand with Mr. Smith, tind him promptly changing aides when he finds that he can no longer control that party? One answer may appear in the following plaintive complaint from the Ludlow Tribune: Interviewed because of a persistent rumor that bin attitude on ratification had Undergone a change since primary election day, Charles 11. Polknt, nominated as town representative on the Republican ticket, telis the Trihune that lie has changed his lint he has thought it over," and that lie 'does not believe in ratification." The Herald has no desire to see any nominee for any office in the gift, of Vermont voters repudiate his principles, but, when that nominees endorsement has been seen red, as a Republican, to a proposition whose proponent promptly bolts the party, can we wonder if such candidate considers his pledge invalidated thereby? It seems to the Herald as though Mr.

Clifford 11. Smith had pretty clearly shown where he stands as a political manipulator. He cares nothim; for the sort of men who would make tm the next legislature: otherwise lie would not have made the ratification of the Sheppard amendment the spb test of fitness. He cares nothing for war issues: otherwise. he would realize admit that the Presidents proelaiifnt inti had settled the question for lie duration of the war, even i congress shoo'd not proceed to adonf the war prohibition rider on the achmltme hill.

Now he has shown that lie cares nothing for the Republican party, because he lias repudiated it by asking all Vermonters to vote for the democratic nominee for governor, not because of that nomi-'ps gun' rior fitness, but simply because that nominee has agreed to support the ratification. The Herald has a notion that Mr. 8mith, assisted by Olin Merrill, Nelson YV. Fisk and a few other irreconcilable prohibitionists. is Tiromulgntlng a blowout and stupendous bluff, and that the voters FERSHINOS CRUSADERS.
