The Weight of the sun.

An astronomer gives us an idea of the
relative weight Of the sun and earth, as
follows: "Let Us, TO start with, weigh
the sun. Suppose we have balance
gigantic enough for the purpose, and
the sun is resting on one OF the scales.
Now put the earth in the opposite scale.
You might as well weigh your head
against one of the towers of the East
river bridge. Pile hundred thousand
earths into the balance, and the sun
does not stir. There lies the colossus
immovablc. But get together another
hundred thousand, and then another
hundred thousand. and stack them up
in the pan against the sun. Three hun
bred thousand worlds piled up on one
side of the balance and still the sun
keeps them up. 1t would take thirty
thousand more or 1888, 900 earths, to
make the beam even against single
sun, and six sextillions is the number
representing the weight of the earth in
tons. a mass which is shooting through
space at the rate of eighteen miles in a
second. - eW York. Wortd.

1t Is just about this time that the coun-
try editor devotes half column advertise
ment to telling what splendid paper some
other fellow is publishing, advising his
readers to subscribe. This is the plan
adopted by city publishers to get their al
vertising for nothing, and rural greenhorns
fall into the snap while the shrewd fellow
at the other end of the line rakes in the
profits. When country publishers surren-
der their advertising space merely to profit
others, it is no wonder that they remain
poor.
