Wby should the poet of then pregnant times
Be asked to sing of war's unholy crimes?
To land and eulogise the trade which thrives
On horrid holocausts of human lives?
Man was a fighting heast when earth was yooc
And war the only theme when Homer sung.
'Twlzt might and might the equal contest lay;
Not so the battles of our modern day.
Too often now the conquering hero struts
A Gulliver among LiUiputs.
Success no longer rests on skill or fate,
But on the movements of a syndicate.
Of old, men fought and deemed it right and Just.
Today the warrior fights because he must;
And In his secret soul feels shame because
He desecrates the higher manhood's laws.
Oh, there are worthier themes for poet's pen
In this great hour than bloody deeds of men.
The rights of many not the worth of one
The coming issues, not the battle done;
The awful opulence and awful need
The rise of brotherhood the fall of greed.
The soul of man replete with God's own force,
The call "to heights," and not the cry "to horse."
Are there not better themes In this great age
For pen of poet, or for voice of sage,
Than' those old tales of killing? Song Is dumb
Only that greater song in time may come.
When comes the bard, he whom the world waits tor,
He will not sing of War.
Mysteries of Science and Nature
Curious Results of the Laws of Motion as Applied
to Persons in Railroad Trains and to Those
Falling from Ascending Aircraft
By GARRETT P. SERVIBS.

. Kid 1
"A young man and I were having- u
dispute over, this: If you wr in a
train, and the train was going sixty miles
an hour, and you jumped into the air,
and It took you a
second from the
time you jumped
to the time you
touched the floor
again, would you
land as far back
as the train trav
eled In that ' sec
ond? I aaid you
would land in the
same place that
you Jumped from.
Please settle this
dispute. A. S."
This is, in its
various forms, one
of the oldest dis
putes that men have ever enraged in,
and. moreover. It U I dispute full of
substance and of educational possibili
ties. In some of the shapes in which it
turns up it sadly befuddles the minds of
those who have little or no knowledge of
the laws of motion.
The easiest way for the writer of the
above quoted letter to satisfy himself
that he is wrong and "the young man"
right would be for him to actually try
the experiment In a running train. If
he tumped straight up be would find
that he would land at the same spot on
the floor rom which he started, whether
the train was msklnr sixty miles or any
other number of miles per hour. The
reason Is that everything Inside a movlnir
, train shares the train's forward motion.
If the front and rear doors of the car
were open so that a torrent of wind was
rushing through from front to rear, the
jumper might be swept backward a short
distance by the moving- air, but other
wise he would come down on the place
from which he jumped,
If this were not so it would be perfectly
safe to jump from the side of a train
running sixty miles an hour, for If you
lost the forward motion of the train the
Instant your feet ceased to be connected
with it you would strike the ground with
only the force of your Jump. But In
fact, as sll experience shows. It Is not
safe to Jump even from a moving street
car, for the moment you touch the
ground you are hurled in the direction
the car is going with a velocity cotre
spondlng tothat which your body had ae.
quired while it shared the motion of the
car.
Scientifically, all this is explained by
Newton's "first law of motion," which
avers that "every body perseveres In lti
state of rest or of moving uniformly in
a straight line, except Insofar as It Is
msde to change that state by external
forces."'
In the case of jumping from a moving
train the external force of the resistance
encountered by the mov body from
the Immovable ground with which It
comes In contact. But If you simply
jump straight up inside a moving train
no resistance Is applied to arrest your
body In Its forward motion with the train,
since in a closed car even the sir goes
light along with the train.
If you stand at the resr of a train
traveling sixty miles an hour and drop
a ball over the edge of the platform it
will fall to the ground, and then im
mediately begin to follow the Jraln, leap
ing and bouncing: madly over the ties
until its forward action, derived from t'.ie
train, has been destroyed. If the height
from which It has been dropped Is sixteen !
feet It will reaoh the ground eighty-eight
feet ahead of the point where it left your
hand. If you throw the ball straight
backward from the train at the velocity
of sixty miles sn hour (eighty-four feet
per second). It will, neglecting the effects
of air resistance, stand still, and tho
train will leave It behind at the rate of
sixty miles per hour. But, of course, It
will not remain poised In the air, but will
drop straight down under the force of
gravity, touching tho ground in one sec

dwell together In harmony. And they
can best do this In th. environments of
