Simple Questions That
Often Prove Pitfalls |
Why is winter colder than summer?
How deep does a scuttled ship sink.
and why does air in a closed room ge*
bad?
A recent examination of presumably
well-informed people revealed that
many a man of more than average
education can be caught in pitfalls of
ignorance. 5
Most people were caught over the
first question. More than four-fifths
said that winter is colder than sum-
mer because the sun is then farther
away. This, of course, is wrong. the
sun being nearer in winter. The real
reason lies in the earth's changing
slant, which brings the sun directly
overhead in summer and lower in the
sky in winter.
Surprisingly common, too, was the
idea that sunken ships do not go to
the bottom, but float at some midway
level. Heavy objects sink because
they are denser than. water. A ship
sinks to the bottom because water's:
density remains virtually unchanged
despite the enormous pressures ep
~ountered at great depths,
Air in a closed room gets bad be-
cause of the gradual exhaustion of
the oxygen contained in the air, and
not, as many people suppose, because
of carbon dioxide gas exhaled by its
accupants.
Idea, Foundation of Law,
Traced to Democritus
In 1720 Francis Hutcheson, in his
“Inquiry into the Original of our Ideas
of Beauty and Virtue,” wrote: “That
action is best whieh procures the
greatest happiness for the greatest
numbers; and that worst, which, in
like manner, occasions misery.” This
is the earliest known use of the phrase
“the greatest happiness of the great-
est numbers.” It was used by Cesare
Beccaria in his “Treatise on Crimes
and Punishments,” first published in
1764. Later Jeremy Bentham, the
English political philosopher, wrote:
“Priestly was the first (unless it was
Beecaria) who taught my lips to pre-
nounce this sacred truth—that the
greatest happiness of the greatest
number is the foundation of morals
and legislation.” The general idea
conveyed by the phrase, however, is
found in the writings of some of the
ancients, notably Democritus.—Path-
finder Magazine.
Term of Uncertain Origin
Authorities have never definitely
traced the origin of the term “grass
widow.” It is to be found in many
languages. Some believe that it is a
corrupted form of “grace-widow”—
that is, “widow by the grace of cir-
cumstances.” There are no facts to
substantiate this belief, however. Ac-
cording to Doctor Brewer, the modern
use of the term seems to have orig-
inated among Anglo-Indians about ‘the “{- -
middle of the Nineteenth century from
the practice of European husbands
sending wives to the hills during the
hot season in India. In this section
the grass is plentiful.
First Excursion Train
On July 5, 1841, when a “Puffing
Billy,” hauling two dozen open rail-
way ‘“carriages”’—they were called
“tubs” at that time—steamed out of
the station at Leicester, England,
pound for Loughborough, 11 miles
away, it marked an occasion memora-
ble in railway annals, for it was the
first excursion train ever run.
The train carried 570 passengers to
a temperance meeting, and the or-
ganizer of the excursion was Thomas
Cook, then a young printer of Market
Harborough, later to become famous
as the promoter of Cook’s tours.—De-
troit News.
On Friendly Terms
He had never been outside England,
and neither had she, but both were
recounting their experiences abroad.
«And Asia! Ah! Wonderful Asia!
Never shall 1 forget Turkey, India,
Japan—ail of them. And most of all
China. the celestial kingdom! How
I loved it!”
She held her ground.
“And the pagodas—did you see
chem?”
«Did 1 see them?’ She powdered
her nose. “My dear, I had dinner
with them.”—London Tit-Bits.
Reward
When Admiral Hussey spoke his
piece at the luncheon of the Women’s
Republican club, he opened up with
this story:
“In a western town, a man rushed
into the sheriff’s office and demanded
a warrant for the arrest of a mur-
derer. :
« «whom did he kill? demanded the
sheriff. *
“¢A public speaker.
«what you want,’ replied the sher-
iff, ‘is not a warrant for anybody’s
arrest but an order on the county
clerk. ”"—Los Angeles Times.
The Helping Hand
Sergeant Simpson was talking seri-
ously to a new recruit.
«Under comradeship,” he continued,
“we put all that one man would do
for another. For example, Smith, what
would you do if your chum had his
preakfast on the table, his buttons
not cleaned and the bugle went for
parade?”
Smith had the answer ready.
“well,” he said, “I'd eat hig break-
fast so’s he could clean them buttons
i" all right!”
