How to Move the World.

A French statistican has been fig
uring ont how much power it would
take to move the world.
or cour sc the question is an absurd
ity because the world weighs nothing
A II its parts tend equally to seek the
center, and Mt the center an object
would have no weight. However. as-
suming the mass to weigh as much
in proportion as objects ut the sur.
face, the mass would be about 6,1OO-
000, 100000, 600, OOO,OO tons.
II 10 600 horsepower engine
could store up power, as the engine
did in Edward Everett Hale's tale Of
@The Brick Moon" it would accumu-
late in 1000 years enough power to
move the world one foot.
The boiler. in producing this power
would vaporize water enough to
cover the earth go feet deep, and the
furnace would use 100000. 200, 0O0,.
con tons Of coal.
The coal train which should carry
this fuel would reach 80,0OO,0GO times
round the earth aud wonld require
500, 900 ears, at forty miles nm hour
to traverse it's own length. However
luckily, no one wants to move the
earth one foot.
