...Matter in Motion." Matter sometimes offers but little resistance to an impulsive force. The touch of a feather, for instance, will set in motion a carefully balanced ball weighing 20 lbs., but only when the force is slowly applied. When a force is exerted suddenly, considerable resistance is offered even by as mobile a body as air. Birds are enabled to fly only by the resistance of the air during the downward stroke of the wings. During the upward stroke, less resistance is offered, owing to the fact that the wing is convex on the upper side...
...Yale graduates. This fellowship, wiht a yearly income of $600, may be held for three years. The Soldiers' Memorial Fellowship yields also an income of $600, but it is more valuable than the preceding from the fact that, at the discretion of the faculty, it may be held for even five years.

It is customary, however, for the daily newspapers to wander so far from...
...free traders are not willing to allow the question of protection to go fairly and squarely before the country, but load it with cries and catches, many of which are entirely without foundation. It was said, for instance, that there were 4,000 articles that pay duty-the President even says so in his message-but Mr. Lodge, after making a careful count of all the enumerated articles, finds that there are only 1,112. The idea that the present tariff is a war tariff is also false. We have always had a tariff of some kind ever since...
