Bones Of Man Would Snap Beneath
His Weight on This Planet

Judged by our terrestrial experience,
which is all we have to go by. the magni-
tude of the planet, II 1t IL to bear life re-
sembling that of the earth, is limited by
other considerations. Even Jupiter, which,
as far as our knowledge extends, represents
the extreme limit of great planetary size,
may be too large ever to become the abode
of living being OF high organization. The
force of gravitation on the surface of
Jupiter exceeds that on the earth's sur
face as 264 to /. Considering the effects of
this on the weight and motion OF bodies.
the density or the atmosphere, the laws of
pneumatics, etc., 1t Is evident that Jupiter
would. to say the very least, be an exceed
ingly uncomfortable place of abode for be-
ings resembling ourselves. But Jupiter, II
1t is ever to become solid, rocky globe like
ours, must shrink enormously In volume,
since its density is only 0.24 as compared
with the earth. Now, the surface gravity
of planet depends on it's mass and its
radius, being directly as the former and in
versely as the square Of the latter. But in
shrinkage Jupiter will lose none of its mass,
although its radius will become much
smaller. The force of gravity will conse-
quently increase on its surface as the PLAN
ct gets smaller and more dense.
The present mean diameter Of Jupiter IL
$500 miles, while its mass exceeds that Of
the earth In the ratio of S16 to !. Suppose
Jupiter shrunk to three-quarters of Its
present diameter, or 64.S0O miles, then its
surface gravity would exceed the earth's
nearly five times. With one-half of its
present diameter the surface gravity would
become more than ten times that of the
earth. On such a planet mans bones
would snap beneath his weight, even grant,
ing that he could stand upright at all! It

One Woman's Venture in Live Stock

A woman in Virginia is making money
by raising sheep She is a school teaeher,
aud she has home, with some acres ot
land, which she had not time to cuitiVase'
but which she wished to turn TO account
She spent SIS, paying So head for ewes,
and then turned her flock into her pasture
land. or course they increased, ana sne
raised what she could care for on her iand.
selling the rest as soon as they were OF
marketable age. She gave only ABOUT one
hour day to them and paid BOY ntty
cents a week to keep the sheep sheds
clean and fodder cut up. She has
been in the business about five years. The
first year she came out $40 ahead or her
experiment At the end of the fourth year
she had a flock of 60 ewes, all she could
keep with her pasturage, and in wool and
mutton she found she had yearly income
of $3.50.
Because the pasture was not large
enough, and because she had her school
duties, and so had no great amount OF time
to give to the flock. she did not increase 1T
beyond the number given, but she consid-
ers that she has fine income for the time
she devotes to the work. She declares, too,
that in spite of their stupid ways and pre-
disposition to dirt, her sheep both amused
and interested her. and were OF all ven-
lures she made at swelling her income the
most profitable, the least troublesome, and
the special sort of livestock most likely to
flourish under feminine management
