BULLETS IN FLIGHT
Even the Best Aimed Ones Never
Follow Their Noses.
STRIKE A WEE BIT SIDEWAYS.
The Projectile Travele on a Curve, of
Course, and It Keopa Ita Axis Afwaya
In the Direction the AxiaHad When
the Ball Left the Gun.
It Is a well kuowu fact that a bullet
never goes straight tu n mark. but files
lu a curve on ttie order of tlie parabola.
But most people think that the bullet
Itself follows Its nose and that at first
(when the nose Is pointed tip) the bal
let follows It'and that when the bullet
Is coining down on the other leg of the
curve the. nose Is tainted down.
This Is a mistake, for the nose of a
bullet always maintains Its own direc
tion, no matter what the bullet as a
whole tries to do. That is. if a gun be
pointed slightly up, the bullet. v\ hen it
strikes the turret, will not enter it i«r
pendlcularlyb}- the uose. r.ud the liolp
made will be larger than t!ie> bullet Is
round, for the bullet of necessity must
hit in a certain degree flatwise. Of
course the reason the bullet does this
is because It lias a very rapid rotation
given It by the rifles in the barrel,
which keei>s It also from turning over
and over 111 the air.
Another thing that will seem lieculiar
to most people Is the action of gravity
on a bullet, if a gun be fired exactly
horizontally the bullet will have to be
pulled down by gravity exactly sixteen
feet during the first second. So If there
were no sights on a gun and It was
leveled by means of a hand level and
fired the bullet would hit something
exactly sixteen-feet below the gtm at a
distance away equal to the velocity of
the bullet per second.
No matter what the bullet's velocity,
gravity will puil it down sixteen feet
during the first second, or if the bullet
be fired upward gravity win take from
its upward velocity thirty-two feet dor
ing the first second.
The bullet Itseir Keeps its axis ui
ways- in the direction tbo axis had
when the bullet - Issued from the gun
This Is the well known gyroscopic prln
clple made use of In the gyroscopic
compass and the luonoraH'car—that a
rotating body win maintain Its axis of
rotation In the same-direction unless a
moment of force be applied to it.
But what actually happens with the
modern high powered rifle? Does it
shoot a bullet that goes in sideways?
To a slight extent it may be stated
that the modern army bullet does do
that very thing. Its Telocity, however,
is so enormous that tbe gun barrel does
not have to be elevated ■ through so
large an angle, and consequently the
bullet enters fairly on Its nose, though
not squarely so, at all ordinary, ranges.
The same may be said of the bigger
guns. They have rifling In them and
so give rotation and gyroscopic action
to the projectiles. But a mortar does
not A mortar shoots something al
most straight up in the air and lets It
fall down. As the mortar Is too short
barreled to be rifled the top of the pro
jectile would hit a target a long dis
tance away, but for a shot almost
straight up in the air to fall right down
of course the bottom of*the projectile
would strike- first.' The mortar projec
tiles are generally round, so that It will
not matter bow they strike.
The reason a bullet cannot be made
so that it will always enter a target
squarely on its nose Is that for every
Tange a differently shaped bultet would
have to be manufactured; also the bul
let should be symmetrical, so thnt the
air will exert no disturbing influence
on its distorted parts.
A bullet has a distinct curve like that
of a baseball, due to Its rotation, and
this curve Is Independent of the parab
ola given by gravity. The smoother
and more polished a bullet is the less
Is this curve. But the action of the
rilling In a gun barrel puts little
grooves In the bullet as It goes through
the barret These catch the air as thu
bullet rotates and causes the curvu
spoken of.
If (lie bullet be rotated In the dlrec
tion of the hands of a clock the curvu
will make the bullet go to the left of
the exact point aimed a.t. The effect 1>
so small, however, that It does not
have to be taken Into account In tb>
manufacture of rifles and ammunition

MEETS FORMER WIFE; WEDS.
Divorced Couple Suffer From Loneli

St Paul^-John A. Hubbard, sixty

A divorce decree granted him at El

left him only added to his lonesome
ness, said Mr. Hubbard. He came to
Minneapolis, found his former wife
living at 417 Tenth street south and
found that she felt manh as he did.
The two have been remarried by
Court ■Commissioner W. E. Bates.

did a similar stunt The New Yorker
won his wager by placing a ball of pa
per six inches In diameter at the cor
ner of Wall street aud Broadway and
by staring at it got a crowd of a hun
dred people in five minutes. It proved
the old contention of the psychology
of crowds, showed that all the yokels
are not living In the country and re

less sheep.—New York Letter to Pitts

Origin of Patont*.
Talents (from pateo, I lie open) orig
inated with the so called nobility of
France. Lest their superiority to oth
er folks should be In doubt, the nobles
got out titles of nobility, so that the
fact that they were better than the
rest of the people might "lie open" to
all the world. It was In connection
with the printing of books that the
first real patents were issued, about
1550. By 1G25 it began to be custom
ary to Issue patents protecting the
rights of inventors in the arts and
manufactures. Since that time the
patent offices of the world have bad
a steadily Increasing business.
