II Oh. Earth should stop.

The stopping of a projectile always
results in the generation of heat. The
velocity and weight OF a projectile be-
ing known, the amount of heat devel-
oped 10y its stoppage can be calculated.
In the case of large bodies moving rap
idly the result of the calculation Is
something astounding, For example Z
The earth weighs 5000 million-million-
million tons. Ii travels in its orbit ut
the rate of over is miles a second.
Should it strike a target strong enough
TO stop its motion, the heat developed
by the shock would be sufficient not
merely to fuse the earth, but also to re
duce large portion OF it to vapor. 1t
has been calculated that the amount
of heat generated by a collision SO co,
lossal would equal that obtained from
the burning of IA globes of coal. each
equal to the earth in size. And should
the earth after this stoppagc fan into
the sun. as il certainly would do the
amount of heat developed by its impact
On the sun would be equal TO that gen,

earths of solid carbon.-N. Y. World,

DEAD FOR MONTHS.
Remains OF Man Found in the Woods on Lake
MoIunkus' Shore.

Bangor, Me, Dec. 24.-Some peculiar
circumstances connected with the find
of the body of a man on the shore of
Lake Molunkus, Thursday, are causing
considerable excitement among the
lumbermen in that vicinity.
The discovery was made by Edward
Baldwin, who is in charge of one of
the numbering crews of John McCaus-
land on the northwest shore of Lake
Moiunkus, several miles from Malta
wamkeag. The body was partly hid
den under a rough shelter of boughs
and leaves. 1t was thought that the
man has been dead for four or five
months.
Nothing has been done to unravel
the mystery. 1t is understood that a
coroner from Bangor will investigate
Monday, and the clothing may reveal
something in regard to the identity of
the dead man.
