Ww WOOD & SONS ,-RUfimond, Vt* ; QUEER MOVING BULL Remarkable Phenomenon in a Marion, Ohio, Cemetery, Great Granite Sphere Actually Turns, and Furnl?ho? Sclentltta With a New Subject for Their Vari ous Theories. Marion, O.?-In the lust few years the attention of scientist*, aud of the public In general, huu bpen attracted to u reinurkuble phenomenon discov ered In connection with the monu ment to the memory of C. U. Mer chant, In the Marlon cemetery. Tbo monument consists of a stone base, rough in finish, upon which is mounted a pottfhed granite ball. The hall is 26 inches In dlumeter and weighs 4,200 pound" When the ball was placed In posi tion in 189G the monument builder left but one spot of it rough. This wus the segment of contuct with the stone i>edestul, or that part of the ball which rented on the supporting stone. 80 thoroughly wan the rest of the ball polished that Its surface 1h like a mir ror. It reflects perfectly the treeB and shrubbery which surround it. In 1900, four years after the monu ment was erected, a visitor to the cemetery discovered that the granite sphere had shifted Its position. In vestigation proved that the rough spot was no longer In contact with the ped estal, Repeated efforts on the part of cemetery employees failed to re turn the ball to its former position. Those who attempted the task real ized that the ball had not been turned by human hands. At first its move ment was nHcribed to the motion of earth. This was the commonly ac cepted theory until newspaper reports cnlled the attention of scientists to the phenomenon. . Men of science from the Ohio uni versities made special trips to Marlon to study the problem. As tho story of the ball wa? spread scientific men from universities further away came to study tho ball. When the first professor of physics looked at tho sphere the rough spot on the hall was about half way up toward Its top as it rested on the pedestal. Ho took a photograph of the ball In that position, the rough spot designating that the ball was moving !r. the vertical circle. The next scientist who took a pic- i fure of^tbe ball showed it In a differ- | ent position. The ball had tnrned I11 ! part In tho vertical circle and then I CB.MERCHANT The Merchant Monument. had revolved in the horizontal. This led to further controversy until many men of science met to study the unique problem. Many theories were advanced as to the cause 6f the movement of the ball. Finally many geologists of note and recognized authority evolved a theory which is generally accepted as true. That Is: The constant moving of the ball? that is acceded?la due to the un equal expansion of differenv parts of the sphere's surface. As a sphere Its surface is presented to the four winds of heaven, and the portion.of It to the rays of the sun would become more highly heated than the part of the surface exposed to the north and its cold winds. Alro the surface of tho whole would be moro apt to become more heated during the day than would the base upon which it rest?, as the latter is larger and heavier than the ball itself. Now if one part of the ball expands r minute quantity mere than the oth er with each heating of one side, and contracts In the same ratio on cooling thero would tend to result a slight creeping movement which In time would move the ball sufficiently to let the change In its po?ftJ6n be noted by the nnked eye Naturally the expan rlon of ono side of the ball would mal .tlx capital of 8?rrlm ItMtf. ?In 1 LIVED LONG WITHOUT EATIf.H Men end Aniira!?
