Hi I Which way does a hisoball curve in
relation to Its whlrliug nud why ! Juiiios
Sweizoy , Holdrcgo , Neb
Ans Tno philosophy of the curve Is slut
plo nnd easily understood Iho ball is
thrown through the nir , with a roturv mo
tion on its nxls so thut the reslstanca of the
air , to Its jidv inco motion , is greater upon
ono point of the sphere than another , nnd
the consequent lesult 1b n movement of the
bill nwiy from the retarded a do In other
words , tlioio is a sort of compression , or
force of air , acting on the fnco of the ball in
the direction it may bo hurled litis force ,
ns jou will roidilysee tends vvhon com
blnod with the original impetus felven the
bill , to deflect or ciuso the ball to ourvo In
the direction from the rotnrded sldo lnstoad
of maintaining its urllnul ( direction If the
ball rotate about its vert axis in the opposlto
direction the curve will bo changed Thus
it is established that a bill will curve in the
direction of tliu leist roAistance and it is
onlv necessary to nltnr the direction of the
axis of rotation in order to chin o the dlreo
tion of the cutve Hy imparting a twist to
the ball that the resistance falls on some in
tcrmodlato point the ball mm bo mudo to
take any of the combination cuivcskuovvn
as the out shoot the rising outeuivo , "
the ' in shoot ' ind drop , " and so on
