EVERY object, however irregular 1t may be, has a center. It it were hung by the center point the object would not tip lazily about, but would balance. When you stand on the tip of one toe, the rest of your bedy has to be in such a position as to balance over the toe. A rocking chair tips over when you rock so far back that the center of welght is thrown be- hind the supporting rockers. Cut a piece of cardboard in any Ir- regular shape. By resting it hori- sontally on a pinpoint, held stralght up and down, you can soon find the polnt where it balances. Now, if you thrust the pin through the point and hold the pin horizontally, you will find that the card will stay in any position that you put it. It is sald to be in equilibrium. Equilibrium is unstable when an object tips over easily or tends to keep moving when changed a little from Its original position. A pencil poised on {ts point on your fingertip | is an example of extremely unstable equilibrium. Uwstable objects fall rezdlly to more stable positions. The How to ‘HE easlest way to draw the hu- man figure is by the “oval meth- od. In this method a small oval or ewg is used for the head. = larger one for the trunk of the body, and then the arms and legs are added.
