HAWINS & COMPANY, WEIGHT OF THE SUN. HOW THE ASTRONOMERS SOLVE THIS WONDERFUL PROBLEM. if You Will Multiply 333,264 by Seven sextillions, You Will Get Approxi mately the Number of Tons of Mat ter Contained In the Great Orb. To weigh the sun, moon, earth or any other body, said Professor Edgar L. Larkin, the celebrated director of Echo Mountain observatory, to the writer, is not a very difficult matter, though to those ignorant of astronomy and mathematics it would perhaps ap pear so. Of course weight is merely a relative term, for at the exact center of gravity a body weighs nothing at all. Weight varies as we approach the gravitation point or recede from it, and the expression as employed in ev eryday life-when we buy a pound of steak or a ton bf coals-simply means the weight used on the surface of the earth because we live there. Now, supposing you are desirous of weighing the earth, how would you go about it? Well, if your education had been neglected and you were in conse quence ignorant of mathematics you might decide to cut up this terrestrial globe of ours in blocks and bring each block to the surface of the earth and there weigh it on an ordinary pair of scales. The operation would doubtless be a costly and fatiguing one, and per haps many unscientific landowners might object to your carrying off their property even though you explained that it was merely as a temporary loan. But let us for arguments sake suppose that you succeeded. Well, having carried each block to the surface (and many of them would, of course, have been brought from the very center of the earth) one at a time (returning each to its proper place before weighing the next) and having discovered that each block weighed a ton, then before your labors ended and the last block of earth had been placed on the scales you would have dealt Tith rather less than seven sextillions. This of course is a tremendous num ber of tons for any moving mass to weigh, but there is a time twice each year when the earth actually weighs nothing at all. In October last this earth gradually began to lose weight like some huge giant dying of a de eline until at a certain moment of time it wveighed only an ounce. then half an ounce. then a quarter, and finally. just for about the fifty-thousandth part of a second..it weighed absolutely nothing whatever-not even so much as a soap bubble which a baby might blow away. To realize this you must remember that the earth does not travel round the sun in an exact circle, so that the distance from the sun is always vary ing, which of course alters the power of attraction or, in other words, the earth's weight. But in October and April of each year the earth is at an exact average distance during the frac tion of a second. at which time, as I have said before, it weighs nothing. How short a space of time this is may be judged from the fact that the earth moves at the rate of eighteen and a half miles every second. But to weigh the earth in the manner suggested would be a very costly mat ter, and so it is found to be more sat isfactory to employ mathematics, when we shall arrive at the same results, as suming of course that we are correct in ouir deductions. And now as to the most usual means employed in weigh ing the sun. Having satisfied ourselves as to the true weight of the earth, we call that "One" or 'Unity." That is the basis on which we work. The next thing to do is to mount to some elevation--the top of a tower or the roof of a house will answer our purpose very well-drop a stone and find out how far it will fall in one~ sec ond of time and what its exact rate of speed will be at the end of the first second. This is not so easy as it sounds, but we can spare curselves the fatigue of calculating, for after 300 years scien tists have by means of the most deli cate instruments arrived at the proved conclusion that at the end of the first second the stone will be at a distance of 10.1 feet from the starting point and will be then traveling at the rate of 32.2 feet per second. This 32.2 is the most important factor in our calcula tions and has been called the astro nomical scales, for by means of it we can weigh the sidereal universe. Now, here, said Professor Larkin, taking a paper- from his desk, is an ar ticle which I wrote some time ago on the weighing of the sun, and I do not think you can do better than make an extract from it, wvhich will save me much needless repetition, and he hand ed me the manuscript, from which I quote the following paragraphs: "Every object in the celestial vault seen by the eye of man is a falling body. The earth is a body forever fall ing toward the sun and the moon for ever toward the earth. If we can find with what speed the earth is falling to ward the sun at the end of our exact second a clew is obtained that will lead through a maze of figures to the mass of the sun. This must be true, for it has been discovered that if the earth contained quadruple Its present quan tity of matter the stone would fall at the rate of 64.4 feet per second. And Newton discovered that if the stone be taken 3,958 miles away from the eatt and dropped Its speed at the end of the first second will be S.05 feet. But 3,955 miles from the earth is twice as far from the center as is the surface, and 8.05 feet is one-fourth of 32.2. But 4 Is the square of 2, so gravity diminishes as. the square of the distance increases and directly as the matter increases. "The earth is 93,000,000 miles from the sun, and this, divided by 3,95, equals approximately 23,496. There fore, take a stone to the distance of the sun and it will be 23,496 times far ther from the center of the earth than the surface is. Now square this 23, 49. Multiply 32.2) by- 12 and the prod uct will be 3SG.4-the number of inches In 32.2 feet. Divide 386.4 by the big number squared and the quotient will be .0000007 of an inch, the speed with which the stone w~ill be falling at the end of the first second. "This is exceedingly slow, but then gravity exerted by the mass of the earth 93,000,000 miles away is natural ly somewhat weak. But the center of the earth is that distance from the cen ter of the sun and actually falls every second toward the sun with a speed at the end of a second having a velocity of .233285 of an inch, which is some thing less than one-fourth of an inch. Divide .233285 by .0000007 and the quotient is 333,204-that is to say, there are 333,2G4 times more matter in the sun than in the earth. If, therefore, we multiply this number by seven sex tillions wd find how many tons the sun werhs.-Lonidon Tit-Bits. Bearstio TeKind You Have Always Bought POVERTY A DISEASE. The Result of Bad Living, Bad Thin1C ing and of Sinning. A large part of the poverty of the world is a disease, the result of cen turies of bad living, bad thinking and of siuning. We know that poverty is an abnormal condition because it does not fit any human being's constitution. It contradicts the promise and the prophecy of the divine in man. There are plenty of evidences that abun dance of all that is good was man's inheritance. that if he claims it stout ly and struggles persistently toward It he will gain it. The fact is that a large part of the poverty of the world is due to down right laziness, shiftlessness, an un willingness to make the effort, to fight for a competence. It does not matter how much ability one may have, if he does not have the inclination and the energy to use it it will atrophy. Lazi ness will ruin the greatest genius. It would kill the ambition of an Alexan der or a Napoleon. No gift or talent is great enough to withstand it. The love of ease has wrecked more careers than anything else except dissipation, and laziness and vice usually go to gether. They are twins. There are certain traits of a strong character which are incompatible with preventable poverty. Self reliance and a manly independence are foundation stones in strong characters. We often find them largely developed in the man who is poor in spite of all his ef forts to get away from his poverty, who is the victim of misfortune and disasters which he could not control. But the man who Is poor because he has lost his courage, his faith in him self, or because he is too lazy to pay the price for a competence lacks these qualities and is so much less a man. He is a weak character compared with the man who has developed powerful mental and moral muscle in his ener getic, persistent efforts to gain a com petence and to make the most of him self. When you make up your mind that you are done with poverty forever, that you will have nothing more to do with it, that you are going to erase every trace of it from your dress, your talk. your actions, your home, that you are going to show the world your real mettle, that you are no longer going to pass for a failure, that you have set your face persistently toward better things, a competence, an independence, and that nothing on earth can turn you from your resolution, you will be amazed to see what a re-enforcing power will come to you from this in creased confidence and self respect. The most dangerous thing about pov erty is that its victims often become reconciled to it and take it for granted that it is their fate. Because they cannot keep p appearaces and live In the same style as their more wealthy neighbors, poor people often become discouraged and do not try to make the best of what they have. They do not "put their best foot forward" and endeavor with all their might to throw off the evidences of poverty. If there Is anything that paralyzes power it is the effort to reconcile ourselves to our unfortunate environment instead of re garding it as abnormal and trying to get away from it.-Success.

When in my teens, milking seven cows morning and evening and toiling on the farm all day, I made favorites of a bay mare and a Durham cow Molly and Bess. Talk about your physical sympathy! Why, it was pa thetic. Molly was my saddle horse, a single footer of rare excellence. 1 could ride her with one ringer on the reins into the m'ost forbidding places. Old Bess--oh, she used to kick a tooth out once in awhile and put her foot in the pail of milk, but the dear girl would follow me about with the affec tion of a child! Well, I was absent from the old home five years 'rnd re turning found that of all the animals only Molly and Bess remained. Im agine my distress when Molly refused to notice me at all! While wondering at this loss of friendship I felt a warm, rasplike thing going over my hand, which was behind my hack. Turning, I saw dear old Bess. Without notice she had come to lick mne. If ever ani mal spoke with eyes and manner she did. Her happiness at seeing me again after so long a period was apparent to all observers, and during my brief stay at home It was all I could do to keep her from following me into the house. -New York Press.

The Came of Gallant Captain Nutman, Who Wouldn't Desert a Common Sailor-Pathetic Fate of Prince, a Noble Newfoundland Dog. "Bah!" said the old and crippled mariner of the days of long ago to the young man who knew all about mod em ships of steel and steam. "You have a lot to learn, young man. You have as much sentiment in your con struction as this stick I carry. "The Idea of a youth like you trying to tell me that there.js as much brav ery and pathos attached to seafaring now as there was when I was master of a wind jammer! You probably be lieve that you are correct in your state ment; but, man alive, you are making a fool of yourself. Here in these days you have lifeboats big and stout enough to carry an army of men. You have steam to manipulate the falls, patent davits to swing clear. No low ering away by hands and not getting them back over the side with every pound of flesh a-pulling. New fangled guns for throwing a life line, rafts that won't go to pieces in the first chop of a sea, cork jackets that need no in struction cards, but which go on like a man's vest; pumps that are rusty for want of use, seamless plates and doz ens of other inventions in these days. Where were they in the old times? "Let me tell you something. I don't say but that there are many brave and gallant mariners in the business now. But the old shipwreck meant more In the matter of life taking than the ship wreck of today does. Did you ever hear tell of a sailor of the old school trying to get into a boat before the passengers were out of danger? You needn't say you have, because yo: have not. Why, the only ones who ever attempt anything of that kind are stokers and firemen and rowdies who have the impudence to call themselves sailors. "I remember the case of a shore loaf er named Holmes who tried a trick like that. He was afterward tried in the United States circuit court at Philadel phia and was convicted of manslaugh ter. He was one of thirty shipwrecked persons who took to the long boat, which was greatly overloaded and con stantly in danger of sinking. Well, this beach rat Holmes and some more of Abraham's men threw overboard six teen passengers, two of whom were women, to lighten the boat. The court held that a sailor is bound by law if necessary to sacrifice his life to save the life of passengers. Furthermore, the court held that while two sailors might struggle with each other for the possession of the same plank which could save but one, if a passenger were on the plank even the law of ne cessity would not justify the sailors in taking it from him. You do not think much of that law? Well, it Is the law of God. It is also the law of duty. "Did you ever hear of the case of Captain Nutman of the ship Adar? He was a good sailor and a gallant master, and, no matter what many may think, it is possible to be both. His ship foundered, but he refused to be taken off. Do you know why he re fused to be taken off? There was an in jured man on board, and while the old timbers were going to pieces under his very feet he knelt down and said to the. man: "'I won't leave you, lad. On my honor as a sailor I won't' "On his honor as a sailor he would not leave him. Have you ever heard of anything more touchingly honest? Captain Nutman went down with his ship, but managed to hold on to his man and to get to. the bottom of an up turned boat, from which they were afterward rescued. It was a month or so after that when a townsman asked Captain Nutman what the name of the rescued man was. "'Why, I never inquired,' he said. 'He just signed articles In the regular way. I may have heard it then, but I do not know it now. He was a Swede, that's all I know of him.' "The friend shook his head In aston ishment as he inquired: "'What! A Swede? Take all that chance for a Swede?' "'Why, yes, even for a Swede. I jdidn't care whether he was a Swede or a Laplander. He was a good sailor and would have done the same for me had things been reversed.' "Nor is that all, young man. There was another shipwreck I know about, but the name of thle craft has escaped my memory. The crew took to one Iboat, which was overcrowded. A no ble Newfoundland, the pet of the ship, swam alongside the boat. All the men turned their eyes sadly upon him, but they knew there was no room for him in that boat. The captain loved the dog better than he loved his life, and he stood up in the boat as he took off his coat and said: "'I cannot see him die like this. Give him my place in the boat I can hold on to the plank, and he cannot' "There was a chorus of dissent, and one of the sailors struck the brute over the head with the blade of an oar, -while another pulled his sheath knife. "'Don't hurt him,' said the captain kindly, but firmly. "'Order him away, then,' growled several of the men. 'He will swamp us all.' "The captain hesitated a minute, -waved his arm in the air and said, 'Back, Prince!' and, the faithful brute swam back In the direction in which The vessel had disappeared beneath the surface. Where do you find such pathos in the sea business now? Give me the old sailor every time." ea the Th idYou Have Always Boughit Sigsatue A Problem at Cambridge.

Holland, the country above all oth ers to which art owes gratitude for the creation and maintenance of sane tra ditions of painting, rendered a signal service to American art in the middle of the last century in the solid tech nical training which it gave to East man Johnson. The education of our earlier painters had been various. When the nineteenth century was nearing its middle period there was a general exodus of students to Dusseldorf, and it was to pursue his studies there that in 1849 Eastman Johnson took ship for- Europe. The vessel on which Johnson sailed, bound for Antwerp, was detained at Flushing, and it is to be regretted that no written record has been made of the story which Johnson delighted to tell, and told so well, of hew he and his comrade, George Henry Hall, who survives him-impatient young pil grims desiring to plunge at once into the promised land of art-left the ves sel and, ignorant of the language and customs of the country, trudged on foot along the river Scheldt toward their goal. On their way each step revealed to their new world eyes some detail filled with romance and promise, until after nightfall they found themselves before the closed gates of the city of Ant werp, which was then a walled town obedient to the old custom of curfew. After an amusing parley in conflict ing tongues the capital of Flemish art received them kindly, and hencefor ward the art of Flanders and Holland made so direct and sympathetic an ap peal to Johnson that his sojourn in Dusseldorf was comparatively brief. and Its lessons had little or no visible effect on his lifework. His earlier student stage passed, he settled at The Hague, where his suc cess was so marked that when after an absence of long duration he determin ed to return to the United States his patriotic purpose was carried out in the face of a temptation to accept the formal proffer of the positicn of court painter at The Hague.-Scribuer's.

A Box on the Ear and a Box With a Diamond Ornament. The following anecdote was written autobiographically by nMme. Feuillet, wife of the famous French writer. At the time of the incident she was a young girl of seventeen, living with her parents in a provincial town of which her father was mayor. One day news came that Louis Napoleon intended passing through and would spend one night in the town. As may or Mme. Feuillet's father had to ar range the details of the reception and festivals to be given in the emperor's honor, while it was agreed that his daughter must present him with a bou quet at the ball to be given in the even ing. Father and daughter were pleased enough, but one person In the mayor's household suffered acutely. Mme. Feuil let's mother was an ardent royalist, and to her the new imperial dynasty appeared an intolerable usurpation. According to her daughter, the ar rangements for Napoleon's arrival pulled her two ways. She was pleased that her daughter should have been chosen for prominence, anxious that her ball dress should be the most be coming possible, proud in her maternal instincts and at the same time exas perated, reluctant, furious a royal re ception should be given at all to a man she considered an upstart and an ad venturer. The day came, and the fu ture Mme. Feuillet, with a string of other young girls dressed in white, was placed along the line of -procession. When it passed everybody shouted and cheered, and the girl, carried away by the excitement on every side of her, did the same. Suddenly she felt a burning, stinging sensation upon one cheek, and before she could realize what had happened she was being dragged back out of the crowd by her mother, whose face was crimson and whose eyes were blazing with anger. Then the girl understood. Unable to bear her own daughter joining the en emy and crying out "Long live Napo leon!" she had publicly and furiously boxed her ears and was now dragging her ignominiously home like a child in disgrace. The girl spent the afternoon on her bed sobbing with the shock and the shame of what had happened. The great big bouquet for the evening stood in a jug and perfumed her little bedroom; her snowy ball dress lay spread over a chair. She dressed final ly, feeling the savor gone out of life, but when from under an arch of flow ers in the ball room she made her lIttle speech and presented her bouquet ex citement returned to her. Louis Napo leon took them, she thought, somewha1 coldly, and, being very prett as wel as seventeen, the girl felt chilled and little inclined to go over to the politica views of her mother.
