POPULAR SCIENCE.

The sun has about 22s, 900 times the
mass of the earth, and the moon only
one-eightieth of this mass.
The most probable mean density of
the earth is 5.66, that is, the earth has
6.66 times the mass of an equal volume
of water.
THE outer ear of mouse is a thin,
almost transparent membrane, and re-
cent experiments show that it is highly
sensitive to movements of the air which
to human ears do not represent sound
at all. It is asserted on good authority
that mice are sensitive to music, and
the stories of their singing have been
fully confirmed. They have pleasant,
musical note resembling that Of the
cricket.
IT Is now believed, and with high
probability of the truth of the theory,
that the shooting stars which some
times fall to the earth In semi-molten
condition are almost or wholly devoid
OF heat when they enter the atmos-
phere. They are set on fire by friction
against the air, due to the rapidity Of
their motion. It Is possible that the
force Of the earth's attraction solidifes
such meteors from gaseous condition
in which they may exist IN space.

SIMPLY FOR EFFECT.

Russia's Hun of Japan Not Meant In
Earnest, and VIII Not be Needed.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-While nothing
official is given out for publication at,
the state department and the attaches
of the japanese legation have become,
as silent as their late opponents, the
Chinese have persistently been
throughout the war, there is not the,
slightest intimation in any quarter of
any hitch in the final ratification Of
peace between the two countries. Nor
is there any anticipation entertained
that Russia will interfere by force of
arms to prevent the carrying into ef-
feet of the treaty provisions.
In the best-informed diplomatic
quarters here it has been asserted from
the first that the stories of Russian
dissatisfaction were given out simply
for effect. Russia, it is repeated, is
the natural ally of Japan, and has
everything to gain by cultivating the.
friendship of the rising Asiatic power,
and everything to lose by assum--
ing hostile attitude. The de-
fences of Port Arthur-pronounced by
Admiral Schuelfeldt, who planned
them, impregnable when properly
manned, have been thoroughly re-
stored and the Japanese are in posses
sion of that stronghold. Russia s feet.
is not SO overwhelmingly superior to-
that of Japan as to ena BILE Russia to.
establish an effective blockade. Ja-
pan has over 1OO.O 900 troops on Chinese
soil. These armies have not been living
off the country. They have been fed
by their own commissariat. and have
cultivated the good will of the COM
mon people.
Interference by Russia will simply
compel Japan to enter upon a war of
conquest in China. 1t is known and
has been stated that Ii Hung Chang is
now on his way from Pelxin to Che
Foo, where the ratifications are to,
be exchanged. 1t is not doubted
that he has the signed treaty in his
possession, and that its terms will be,
put into force without opposition ex-
cept from the European newspapers
Meanwhile the sth of May is rapidly
drawing near. and some definite an
nouncement may be looked for any

YOUR uNcLE.s HAND

Was Felt In the Successful NegOsiAtiong
Between England and Nicaragua. the
Suggestion OF tho Plan for Salvador TO
Guarantee the Payment of the ssSmart
Money" Coming from Acting Secretary
Uhl.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Despite the
statement of Sir Edward Grey. under
secretary of foreign affairs. in the
house of commons Thursday that the
United States had not rendered its
good offices in the settlement OF the
trouble between Great Britain and
Nicaragua. it has been positively as
certained that the matter was brought
to a settlement through suggestion
offered by, Ambassador Bayard. under,
instructions from Washington. That
suggestion was that Salvador should
guarantee the payment of the smart.
money" demanded by Great Britain.
On Wednesday morning Minister
Guzman, of Nicaragua, called on Act
ing Secretary Uhl at the state DEPART
ment, and was asked to suggest to his
government, as a means for the settle
ment of the Corinto incident, that Sal
vador should guarantee to the British
government the payment OF the s15,5Oe
indemnity.
It is explained that Salvador was Sc
lected in this particular because that
government is the only one of the
Central American republics repre-
sented in London by a minister. and
that Mr.. Medina, representing that
government in London and Paris.
could give the guarantee in the name
of his country, whereas great delays
and considerable formality might
mark an attempt at action in the mat
ter by any of the other Central Ameri-
can republics.
It is understood that Mr.. Medina,
was also empowered to make the best
terms possible for Nicaragua with ref
erence to the appointment of COM
mission to assess the damages result
ing from the arrest and Imprisonment
of the other British subjects who were
expelled from Bluefields with Vice
Consul Hatch last summer.
The statement published in a Lon
don newspaper that the United States
has agreed to guarantee bond for the
payment of the indemnity is, of course,
nonsensical, SO far as the United States.
government is concerned. The United
States government, without action of
congress, would have no power to dc
anything of the kind. Probably the
statement was intended to apply to the
Nicaraguan Canal Construction Co.
