THE SURFACE OF A SPHERE.

Let US saw croquet ball or any sphere
made of wood through the center. Let us
take one of the halves or hemispheres thus
obtained and fnsten thereon the end of
cord by means of q nail driven into the pole
of the great circle-that is to say, Mt the
point of the ball which is most elevated
when we place the fiat part on n table. (See
upper hemisphere in our illustration.)
Now let us wind the cord around the nail,
then on the surface of the ball, just as you
wind Il cord on n spinning top, so that it ex-
actly covers all the curved surface of half
the ball you hold in your hand. Then let
lis stop and cut the cord ut the point where
we have ceased winding.
Now let us take the other half of the ball
and piece of cord of the same thickness rs
the preceding Let lis fasten the end of it
to nail driven into the center of the circle,
which is II great circle of the sphere since
the saw has pissed through its center. Now
roll the cord spirally around the nail, press
ing it closely on the fiat surface of the cir
Gle. Stop when the circle is entirely COW
cred and cut the cord at the point where
you have To stop. Now unroll both cords,
and you will find that the first is exactly
twice as long us the second, from which we
conclude that the surface of hemisphere
is equal to twice the surface of great cir
Gle, and consequently that the surface of an
entire sphere is four times that of n great
circle
