HARD AS STEEL
Is Earth and Sun Is 1000 Times Hard
err Says Science.

From the Astronomische Nachrichten.
Prof T. j. j. See. United States Navy,
gives the results of an investigation he
has been making of the rigidity of the
earth and other heavenly bodies. by math-
ematical processes depending wholly on
the theory of gravitation.
This line of investigation was begun
in 1863 by Lord Kelvin, who sought to
determine the rigidity Of the earth from
observations of the tides of the oceans
1t was thought that II the earth proved
to be highly rigid, the result would con-
tradict the theory long held by biologists
that the earth Is a globe of molten mat
ter inclosed in a thin crust like the shell
of an egg.
Lord Kelvin reached the conclusion that
the earth as a whole is certainly more
rigid than glass, but perhaps not quite
as rigid as steel.
About 1880 Prof. George Warwin took up
the investigation By careful study of the
fortnightly tides he found the earth to be
more rigid than steel This was held to
show that the earth could not be sphere
of LIQUID covered by a thin crust; and
biologists had to change their theories
so as to conform to globe as rigid
as steel.
Professor Sees investigation is purely
mathematical, and based on the pressure
to Laplace's law of density the density
at the center of the earth is equal to
that of lead, and the pressure equal to
that exerted by a vertical column Of
quicksilver long as from St. Louis to
San Francisco.
BY considering the pressure through
out the whole earth Professor See finds
that even II fluid, the globe would have
n rigidity greater than that of wrought
iron. He finds that the average rigidity
of the whole mass is nearly equal to
that of nickel steel. such as is used in
the armor of battleship.
DIR. See proves that the rigidity of the
earths crust is about equal to that of
granite, which is one-slxth that of steel;
and that toward the center the rigidity
rapidly Increases. At the earth's center
the imprisoned matter Is at an enormously
high temperature. yet under the tremend-
Gus pressure there at work, kept three
times more rigid than the nickel steel
used in the armor of battleshp.
His new method can be applied also to
the other planets. 1t turns out that the
rigidity of Venus is greater than that of
platinum. and, most likely about identical

CONTRAST BETWEEN TWO

East Africa.

From the New York Sun.
The white men who have settled along
the shores of Victoria Nyanza, the second
largest fresh water lake In the world are
telling us many things about the lake
and the jewellers along its shores that
Sneke and Stanley, who discovered ana

that the largest white enterprises VIII ~

reason for this is that gold has been uls-
covered there. The fact was hrst reporter

Coast Lands Popular.
Nearly all the coast lands are very pop

mans saw however, that near the future
mining region the land is especially pro-
ductive and would support at least five
times the present population This will
be important when mining and the indus
tries related to 1t are developed there.
The primitive conditions that still exist
on Victoria Nyanza are shown in many
ways. Every steamer and sailing vessel,
for example, ties up or lies at anchor,
when night comes, at some slasd or near
the mainland. They dare not navigate at
night. for the dangers to navigation have
not vet been mapped and the coast waters
are strewn with rocks that have usually
meant shipwreck for the vessels that have
hit them.

The Land of Old ACE.

From an Elderly Woman, in Harper's
Bazaar.
This Is one of the btterest things we
mothers have to bear when we get old.
We have learned then that we can't help
our children to lead their lives one bit
better. There is not one single stone we
can clear from before their feet, be our
old fingers ever so willing. With yearn-
ing hearts we see them making the mis-
takes we could teach them to avoid IL
only they would listen. We see them
going through one experience after an
other stumbling here. again hurting
themselves against the same corner you
hurt yourself long ago, repeating all
the world-worn mistakes. while we elders
watch anSiously and may not even cry
out, Take care" Our sons repeat the
follies of their fathers; our daughters
make over again all the mistakes of their
mothers. 1t is very hard 70 sit In silence
when you see them doing all the things
that you did and then so painfully learned
better. We feel that we could so easily
point to the fair open road If our chill
dren would let us, but we are as useless
to them as guide-posts to the blind. We
must watch our children lose themselves
In the tangle whose miserles we know so
of wandering. find their way back home
heartsore and worn--and all the time we
can't help thinking it all needn't have
been. That to us older mothers, is the
heart-rending part of 1t.

statesmen. bartenders and cigar dealers
who have started in the business in COM
petition with the old-established firms
have come class of publishers who are
known in the slang of Tin Pan alley as

The business of these people is that of
publishing songs for amateurs at the
writer's expense. If person has an am

and hasn't the ability to grind out a
lyric or score the lemon squeezers will
help him out They have always a sup
ply of songs on hand, which for a con-
slderation they will publish as the work
of anyone willing to pay the price.
These lemon squeezers seek their VIC
tins mostly in the Mississippi valley and

Germans Like Military.

The Germans, on the other hand, keep
each post under military government.
Streets are regularly laid out, excellent
roads lead into the settlements, trees are
planted comfortable houses for the white
inhabitants are erected. parklike aspect
is given to the public square and the
thoroughfares must be daily swept and
garnished or there is trouble from the
powers that be.
There Is another contrast between the
British and the Germans In inner Africa
which is perhaps not so favorable to the
latter. A while ago a German military
force started from one of the lake sta
tions on punitive expedition against the
section of the Nasal that lives In Ger
man territory. One of the Officers ex-
pressed the opinion that the only way to
solve the Nasal problem was to wipe
these natives out entirely. Too many of
the Germans seem to hold the same opin-
ion where they have trouble with the
natives.
The British, on the other hand. rounded
up their unruly NASSAU subjects on two
reservations with large amount OF
grazing and agricultural land. This
scheme went into effect two years ago and
both the public peace and the NASSAU
seem to be beneiting by it.

BATuM, Asiatic Russia. May Civilian
II. Stuart, the American Vice-Consu here,
was shot and killed at his country place
near the city last night. The murderer
escaped.
Mr.. Stuart was a British subject and a
leading merchant of the Caucasus. He
had had trouble with the labor organiza-
tions, and it is supposed that the crime
was committed by a dissatisfied workman.

murdered and that the assassins are I'M
known, The State Department has received
no information on he subject, and no action
will I've taken until a more complete report
comes from Mr.. Meyer, 1t is very likely
that there will be no necessity for this
Government to formally call the attention
of the Russian Government to the matter.
as the st. Petersburg authorities will, IL
they have not done it already, take every
step to find the murderers and punish them.
1t is not expected that there will be the
slightest friction beween the two govern
ments in the matter.

given him by this Government two years
ago. For ten years he had been a lead
ing business man at Batum, being the
practical head Of A. +, Mattievich 4 Co.
Mr.. Campbell, his predecessor, in recon-
mending him to the State Department
said he was the most influential foreigner
among the Russian officials in the country,
from the Governor General down,
Mr.. Stuart was 40 years old, having been
born at Harrow-on-the-Hill, England, in
1857. He was once before in the service
of this Government when at Odessa. While
there he assisted the American Consul
in his work and had charge of the consulate
from time to time. Being both an official
OF this Government and a British subject
the Russian Government will have two
nations to deal with in the matter,
Mr.. Stuart spoke German, French, Rus
sian, Italian and Rumanian. The con-
sular mission of this country at Batum
pays less than 81 900 a year and this Govern
mont could find no competent American
to take the place. Batum is situated on
the east coast OF the Black Sea and has a
population OF 80 200, mostly Armenians
and Turks. The Europeans, nearly all
Russians. number 5000.
There is nothing to indicate that the death
OF Mr.. Stuart was in any way connected
with his being an official Of the United States
Government,
