fully at the miniature painted therein.
There was no escape from the conclu-
sion that there was striking resem
blance between the portrait and the
living face. But this strange coinci-
dence was the least important and
powerful part of the impression which
the woman's face had made upon Mark
Jennings.
Since the death of his girlish wife he
had moved among women without en-
PERTAINING a thought of them, save as
individuals. But, though he had not
heard her speak, he knew that he loved
this woman, whose name was unknown
to him. Although his heart at first
shrunk from the thought, he could make
to himself no denial of the fact.
AS he again approached the porch he
saw that his child was standing by the
woman, engaged in conversation with
her.

him and lightly taking his left hand as
he came up the steps. and leading him

are shot right into the trees. May go

itself-as he believed it surely would!
It came-at the eleventh hour
At sunrise, on Memorial day, Jen-

Memorial day! What host of mem

of comrades, many Of whose faces he
had not recalled in years. Again he
heard the drums roll and the flies
squeal, and once more he saw the
ragged colors of his regiment flying
from their staff! The old passion of
patriotism-the sure hope and safeguard
of liberty-made his blood leap with its
fierce and terrible earnestness as it had
done on that day when they charged
the enemy in this very grove about
which he was now walking in such
peaceful quiet.
At last he seated himself upon
fallen log, took the enameled
trinket from his pocket and was silent

underbrush suddenly parted and Miss
Flournoy stood before him. Each was

stammered words of apology. There
was tenseness in the set of her proud

agony. After few trifling remarks

THE EARTh'S DENSITY.
The First Successful Attempt to Calculate
It Made In 1S72.

The First Successful Attempt to Calculate
1t Made In 1872.
The question of the earth's destiny is
one of the most curious and interesting
which men of science have attempted
to solve, rendered more SO by the fact
that there are several ways by which it
can be ascertained. Newton was the
first to prove that it could be done by
showing the detection of plummet by
the attraction Of a mountain. Bonguer
was, however, the first to suggest that
this method should be put in practice
with direct reference to solving the
problem of the ea=th's mass. The
method is applied IT, means of an in.
strument called zen:ti, sector, kind
of a telescope with graduated arc at
tached to its lower extremity and
plumb line to the other.
This telescope pointed at the same
star successfully at two stations sepa-
rated by known distance serves to
show how much the center of gravity
changes in passing from one to the
other, it being known that for every one
hundred feet of horizontal distance on a
north and south line the change of d.
rectlon is very nearly one second of an
angle. But if one of the stations be at
the foot of a mountain the same change
of direction is not observed. because the
attraction of the mountain defects the
plumb line. The effect is even greater
it both the outlines lie at the foot of the
mountain, one ON the northern and the
other on the southern side
Thus, let us suppose that two sta
tlons are separated by four Thousand
feet, then the difference in the direction
OF gravity would he about forty seconds
II the stations were on a plain. but if a
mountain separated them the difference
would be increased because of the posi-
ton of the lower ends of the plumb
lines (already tending to conveyance
earth's gravity is always directed to
ward the center of the earth) are
brought yet nearer together by the ut
traction of the mountain.
The first successful experiment. in this
line was made by DR.. Maskelyne in
1772, who proposed to the Royal society
to attempt an experiment on Mount
Schehallien. In this experiment it was
found that at stations separated by
4.364.4 feet the difference in the direc-
ton of gravity was $40 seconds instead
of 1894 seconds, the difference due to
gravity, so that the double attraction
exerted by the mountain was found to
be 11.6 seconds.
From these and other calculations L
was computed that the density of the
| earth was to that of the mountains in
the ratio of 1884 to g. 1898, and from this
it was inferred that the specific gravity
of the earth was between 456 and 4. 81,
that of water being the unit. More re-
cent experiments by the same method
make the earth's density 5.3.-St. Louis
