Gravitation Law Gets Study
From a High-Brow Angle "

Readers of this column often
lay to me:
"Your writing! art ao sim
ple."
Now whether or not this
statement ii meant to be com
plimentary it not alwaya im-
: mediately apparent. So today
let ui attempt to add tome dif
ficulty and dignity to laid col
umn by discussing the sup
posed "high-brow" law of grav
itation. We are told that one sum
mer day Sir Isaac Newton was
relaxing under the pleasant
ahade of an apple tree. Sud
denly there was a slight com
motion among the branches
. above him, and tumbling down
came a big apple.
Now why did this apple come
down? Why didn't it go up or
off sidewaysT What force made
it go toward the earth? New-
ton finally was able to show
that the moon was constantly
- falling toward the earth at the
rate of 0.0S inches per second.
It never reached the earth
since it was constantly moving
', in its orbit. This fall was need
ed to keep the moon at about
the same distance from the
earth.
After much study the noted
scientist was convinced that
there is attraction everywhere
in the great universe and pro-

pounded his formula which has
since been known as the law of
universal gravitation. This is
generally stated thus: "Every
pirucie oi matter In the unl
verse attracts every other nar.
tide with a force which varies
directly as the product of their
masses and Inversely as the
square of the distance between
them."
Does this mean that two ap
ples hanging on a tree are at
tracted toward each other? It
certainly does, and this force of
attraction can be accurately
calculated. However, this force
is very, very minute. The data
needed for the calculation is
the distance between their cen
ters and the mass of each. If
the mass of one is doubled, the
attraction is doubled. It the
mass of each Is doubled, the at
traction is quadrupled, since th
attraction varies as the product
of the masses.
The mass acts as though it
were all at the center of the
body. An apple with a mass of
one pound is attracted toward
the center of the earth 4.000
miles away with the force of
one pound. If the apple is tak
en 4.000 miles above the earth,
it will be 8,000 miles from the
center and will weigh only Vi
pound; If 12.000 miles from the
center. It is three times as far
as when on the surface, so the
weight is 19 lb. Inversely as
the square of the distance.
Small babies learn that a rat
tle will fall if released. Even
our cat knows something about
the law of gravitation. If hand
ed a dainty morsel when he is
sitting on a chair with his head
over the edge, he will get back
before starting to eat, lor he
knows that he will lose the food

000 per week volume in 10
years or total of $5 billion
volume in on year.
Also disclosed by Orville
Johler, IGA vice president and'
advertising director, was the
first quarter promotional pro
gram of 18S4, in which two
