THK KKK; OMAHA. sATfltlUY. SEITFM RKI? n, 1HU. n c Patrick Henry By REV. THOMAS n. GKRGORi, Copyright, l'-H. I,y star Company ) It was on the rih day of M.,y, 1T. that ratrirk Henry sounde.t thp first tesl tocsin of war against King Oeorge III In the speech made by him that dav we have thp first Im pulse or the great revolution that was to end In American Independence. Of that speech thp celebrated Lord Brougham later on declared that It wa "the most Imrortant vent In the history of thp human race.'" Edmund Randolph, T'aklnj of the wonderful effort, said: "Un Mav Henry plucked thr oil from the shrine of parliamentary omnipotence'; and a great American historian, writing of Henry's resolutions said: "They were the first words of the resolution, and no man ever thought the same aftrr he had read them." When the Inspiring words of the elo quent Virginian were published and their Tire had touched men's hearts where the people began singing: every- ' ith the beasts of the wood tVe will ramble for food. And lodge In wild deserts and caves; We' will live poor as Job, On the skirts of the globe Before we'll submit to be slaves." Lord Brougham's words may seem to be monstrously extrivagant, and yet, when all things are duly considered, It msy not b too much td say that no other speech ever delivered was followed ity such tremendous consequences. If owe can even approximately estimate the political and moial significance among men of the fnlted States of America what the Influence of the great republic lias already been, what It Is to day, and what It Is destined to be, In a steadily enlarging way, throughout the ages and generations to come he can for some sort of Idea of tlie importance of Patrick Henry's speech before the Vir ginia assembly on that famous May day one hundred and forty-nine years ago. Quite aside from the Inconceivably great speech itself, taken In connection with Its whole setting, It will ever re main one of the most remarkable pictures In the gallery of hlsto-y. Tall, spare, raw-boned, stooping In the shoulders, sallow In complexion, nnd attired In his plain sot of Virginia home spun, the orator riset '.n the midst of I lie old aristocratic members' who are still Intensely "loyal" to the king. Presently the drooping head of the orator Is lifted and thrown back In proud defiance, the eyes rash 'fire, the calm voice becomes iJte unto the blast of a trumret. The storm Is now fairly on, and It carries everything before It! There Is no resisting It! Thej resolutions are put and carried, and the members, rush ing out of doors, ask one another In amazement, "What did he Bay?- They1 rjad been completely taken iff their feet by Henrji'ir preternatural eloquence v and borne along as the tempest sweeps away I the leaves that He In Its path. This crowning achievement came with out any premonition. At the age of eighteen Henry hnd married and Bettled down to farming, but proved to be a failure In that ancient and honorable oc cupation. ' From agriculture ho turned to the mer cantile business, but again It turned out that he was the round peg in the square hole and at the end of his three years trial at selling salt, sugar, and calco, he found himself a bankrupt. Then he ' tried doing nothing,' "loafing and: Inviting his soul." but he was a failure even as a loafer. One day the thought struck Jlenry that he would study law, and, borrow lug a copy of "Coke t'pon Littleton," he began preparing himself for admission to the bar. There Is a conflict of opinion about his success as a lawyer, but It la fairly well established that the success was fur frorn being a "howling" one up to the celebrated "Parsons' Case" in the full of 1763. ' In that noted cause the ministers had on their aide the law and the right, but 1 the vestries, with "unadorned rasealty," deeded to fight the parsons, and employed as their champion the young lawyer from Hanover. It was a desperate case almost a for lorn hope but the psjvhologicul moment In the struggling young lawyer's life was at hand, the hour and the man were about to meet, and Henry's fame was close at hand. With that wonderful voice of Ills, which "could make love In a corner or call a hound a mile off," he pitched Into rarllamcnt, privy counc'l and king, and gave the young democracy of they west its first war cry against "British oppres sion." . From the parsons' cafe and the little brick court house in Williamsburg It was but a step to Hlrhmoiitl, to'St. John's church, and to the- speech . that every "I know not what others may do, but as school boy was soon to know by heart, for me, give me liberty or give me death."

The whole nlmosphere revolves with the solid earth, bcesus It is In contsct with It and subject to Its attraction. If we could Imagine a time when the. earth was standing still with the atmosphere surrounding It like a gaseous shell, and then suppose the globe suddenly to legln to rotate on Its axis, a terrific wind would Instantly arise, blowing In a direc tion opposite to that of the rotation. This would be due to o, Inertia of the air, which could not limned lately take up the motion Imparted to it by the friction of the spinning globe. A similar law affects the water of the oeeuna. But niter a while the particles of air in contact with the globe would heuni tn revolve In step with It; they would t;rad- ually Impart the same motion to tl:e pin- I tides above then); these to others still higher, anil so on until the entire atnios- I pherlc shell nliarcd the common motion. Kx'-ept its own Inertia, there would le nothing to oppose this tendency of the atmosphere t i assume the same ungiihir rate of rotation as that of the globe on whirl. It rests, because the apace outside the atinnsphere Is empty, anil conse quently offers no reslstunce through friction. There Is one clrcuiueta nee, however, which sets a limit to the help lit to which an atmosphere turning colncldentally with the eur'h could extend, vis., cen trifugal force. At the 'earth's present rate of rotation, amounting to an equa ! torial speed of about 1.0 HI miles an hour, j the centrifugal force, at the equator. Is equal to one-2NIUh of the force of gravity j Now, since centrifugal force Increases as the square of the velocity. If the rota- ( tlon were seventeen tlnii-s faster than It actually Is, bodies on the em til's equator i would cease to have any weight, or. In I other words, would ceuae to be bound to the earth by gravity. This follows from the fact that the square of seventeen Is 2S?I. The sllghest further Increase of efHid would send tlem flying away Into space Then. If the atmosphere were so high that tho top of It, In order to keep up i with the angular rotati in, had to move ' seventeen times as fast ns the surface of jthe earth, the particles of air at that j beUtit would, be freed, by their centrlfu- i gal force, from the eurth's attraction, and would begin to escape Into spuce.
