"Is China exactly on the op posite side ot th world from us, snd do the people there walk up side down by cur standards?" tJ. W . Eugene) The term antipodes (an-tip-o-dees, accent second syllable) Is some times applied to the location we would reach should we be able to go on a straight line court through th center ot the earth on to the other aide. The word means "op posite cur feet." let us suppose a straight tunnel literally a "bottomless pit- runs the nearly 6000 mllea through our planet to the opposite aurtace. The most speedy way to reach our an tipodes Is to Jump Into this hole and let the force of gravitation do Its worst. One started, our velocity ot fall constantly Increases, until at the center (we assume no air re sistance) we are tearing along at It miles per second. Then our speed decreases snd 43 6 minutes slier we started, we reach th other side, "feet up" and, for a split second motionless. But unless some kindly naUve grabs us. we fall bark Into this pit and start homeward, doomed to an eternal pendulum-like oscillation back and forth through the earth. Although China Is almost halt way around the world from us. It la on the same side ot the equator as sra w and lis people there walk horlsonully Instead ot upside down.

My esparienos waa and sUII Is, In a way that of first getting an Impreielon and then hsv. Ing to bark up and start again. I believe that anyone, excepting those ot you who deal In such matters constantly. Is bound te think first of a measure of time. And so the word Itself makes th understanding end retaining dim cult. -My dictionary states thst ther are stslul miles US0 ft.) and nautical mile (000 ft.)
