SUSTAINS REV. NETTLES. Decision of State Methodist Conference Reversed. Columbia, May 16.?Mr. Joe L. Nettles of this city, received a telegram from "nis brother at Oklahoma City to-night saying that the committee on appeals of the general conference of the Methodist church, now in session there, to-day unanimously reversed the findings of the trial court in suspending his father, the Rev. S. A. Nettles, from the conforpnpA for throp months. The Rev. Mr. Nettles was suspended from the South Carolina conference for three months during its meeting in Rock Hill, and the information to-night is that the general conference sustained his appeal and reversed the South Carolina conference. The Rev. S. A. Nettles was formerly editor of the Southern Christian Advocate. Peculiarities of the Earth. On account of the form of the earth and its various motions there are several little facts of more or less interest connected therewith. For instance, a man at the North Pole weighs more than he does at the equator, a man down in a mine ' weighs less than he does on the surface of the earth, a man up in a balloon weighs less than he does at the surtace or tne eann. i ne reasuu v> u > a loss of weight occurs in going from the pole to the equator is because the earth swells out around its middle and a person thus goes further from the centre in going that way; also a loss of weight is occasioned by the ? rotation of the earth on its axis? for a person at the equator tends to fly off from the surface just as a particle of mud teijds to fly off of a rotating buggy wheel. No tendency of this kind is evident at the pole for the pole of course is on the axis z and there is very slight rotation there. To understand this remember that the earth is about twentyfive thousand miles around at the equator. As the earth rotates once in twenty-four hours it can be reaai* ly seen that a person residing on the equator is traveling at the great i, ' speed of over a thousand miles an hour toward the east. Now a per son near the pole would also go around once in twenty-four hours, hut the distance around the pole would be very small, so that the speed would be practically zero and at the pole would be zero. If it were possible to make the earth rotate about eighteen times faster than it does at present a very peculiar state of affairs would exist. For things at the i . equator would not weigh anything? a person could jump up into the air and stay there for quite a time before coming back down, in fact unless he was very careful when he jumped, he would go so high that he might leave the earth for awhile. People at the poles, however, would weigh the same as before, so if a man walked from the pole to the equator he would constantly get lighter and lighter and he would find that he ; could carry more things and be less fatigued the further along he got to * the equator. At the equator he could lift a house and there he would find labor cheap?so, if he were a laborer, he would probably go back. Besides its rotation around its own f Mi t . axis the earth revolves around the "* sun once a year. The distance around ann is about half a billion miles, so the speed of the earth through space relative to the sun is that divided by the number of hours in a year, which makes it about 63,000 miles an hour. This is the average speed, but the speed changes with the seai sons. When the earth is nearest to the sun the speed is greatest and exceeds the above figure; when farther away is less. Now it would seem that when we are closer to the sun we should have summer time. This is not the case, as the winter for the Northern .Hemisphere is when the earth is closest the sun. Our summer is when we are furthest from the sun. Not so is this for the Southern Hemisphere?the South Americans have their summer when they are nearest the sun and consequently their summer is warmer than ours, this cause alone considered. Their winter is also colder. The cause of the Masons, however, is not the close ness to the sun but the angle the sun's rays make with the surface of the earth. The earth is tilted so that the whole Northern Hemisphere is P" tilted away from the sun during the , winter and the Southern toward it. This fact will be seen when we remember that the sun is very far to the south of the zenith at midday in winter, and climbs closer and * closer as spring approaches. The 'reason why this tilting causes winter may be seen from a very simple experiment. A sheet of paper held directly in front of a lamp will get a certain amount of light on every square inch. If now the paper be , tilted, less and less light falls on every square inch, until when the edge of the paper is presented to the lamp no light falls (or very little.) Now as the amount of the sun's light mr ROBBERS GET $750. Blow Open Safe in Express Office at Seneca, S. C. Anderson, May 15.?The safe in the express office, at Seneca, was cracked some time during last mgnt and about $750 in currency and silver taken by the robbers. A night telegraph operator in an 'adjoining room, and a negro porter, who was on duty, throughout the night, failed to hear the report of the explosion, and the fact that the safe had been blown open and robbed, was not known until this morning. The robbers forced an entrance through a window, in the front part of the inside office, nailed up the office door, to keep out intruders. They then got in their work and made their escape. The express office occupies part of the depot. It is now known that there was a parcel of money sent from the Anderson express office, consigned to the Chattanooga office money order department, for $539, on the train going from Anderson to Seneca last night, and it is thought that this was one of the parcels of money taken. and heat received per square mile determines the temperature to a great extent the above proposition should be clearer. There are two other motions of the earth. The earth and moon revolve around their common centre of gravity as they both go around the sun and the earth's axis wabbles slightly as it goes through space. One other motion there is also?for it has been definitely proven that the sun and his whole family (including the earth) are all sweeping through space at a very rapid rate. The tides of the sea are caused by the moon's attraction, and lo a slighter extent by that of the sun. The process is as follows: The moon and earth attract each other by gravity but are prevented from getting together by th^ centrifugal force of their common revolution. This would not prevent either one, however, from pulling the other out into a more elongated shape in case either one were plastic or fluid. As the earth has a great deal of fluid in the form of water on its surface the moon pulls this oui tnto a hump? so there is always a hump of water directly' under the moon on the earth's surface where that surface is liquid. Now this hump tries to stay directly under the moon and, as the moon travels around the earth (or rathpr a*? the earth rotates) the hump travels around the earth, thus causing a tide. A hump is also occasioned on the side of the earth directly opposite the moon for at that place the moon's attraction is least (as that is the point farthest from the moon on the earth,) consequently the earth itself is pulled away from thi6 water to some extent. Now the water at the poles, or near them, has to come to fill up this hump and so the whole surface of the ocean is changed in level. This tidal phenomenon will finally cause the earth to stop rotating relative to the moon, so that the hump will always then be sticking out in one spot only and that will be toward the moon. The earth's, attraction has already made the moon stop rotating relative to the earth and has caused a hump several miles high on the moon toward the $arth. Now a very peculiar result is Jaused by this stopping of the rotation of the moon on its axis relative to the earth?that is that we never see but one side of .the moon. She always presents the cotvio fano tn us and no man has ever V V ?w ? ? seen the other side. The tidal friction caused by the sun will finally stop the earth's rotation relative to it. When that takes place (and it has taken place with one of the planets, possibly Venus, there will be only one face of the earth presented to the sun?so on one side of the earth will be perpetual sunshine and day and on the other side perpetual night and darkness. Suppose that the Western Hemisphere were the one in which there was daytime continually. Everything would get so hot that the temperature would be unbearable to man, but other things would be worse still. The dark side would be very cold and the bright side very hot, so there would be a terrific hurricane blowing along the surface from the dark side to the light, and an equally terrific one blowing through the air from the light side to the dark. Also the light side would be dry as dust for all the water vapor would be condensed on the cold side and it would consequently be covered with ice and snow. The only livable place would be near the border between tne aara and light sides and even there the disadvantage of having the highest winds would prevail. On the bright side clouds of dust would always be present and this would be continually carried to the dark side. In fact the extreme brightness of these dust clouds is what decided the astronomers in favor of the theory about Venus.?By A. L. Hodges.
