The sun, provided we measure only
the disk seen with the smoked glass, is
$4,000 miles In diameter-L e.. los
earths could be comfortably ranged
side by side across the disk. To cover
the surfa e would require many thou
sands. To ill the interior we should
need 100000. On n smaller scale we
might represent the sun by ball two
feet In diameter and the earth by q
good sized grain of shot. Let the sun
be followed out, then place the earth
at its center and let the moon revolye
about it at its real distance of 24O,OOO
miles. There would yet remain nearly
100000 miles of space between the
moons orbit and the inclosing shell OF
the sun. Indeed to journey from one
side OF the sun TO the other, through
the center. would take one of our swift
express trains nearly two and half
years. So vast Il globe must be heavy.
Since its density is only one-quarter
that of the earth it only weighs as
much as $4,000 earths, or two octil-
lions of tons> The attraction of gravity
on its surface would cause a man
whose weight was 80 pounds TO weigh
two tons.

REPUBLICAN TICKET
WAsHINGTON NOTES,

The Ohio River 81 Lake Erle Emp
Canal bill passed the Senate. Monday
by a vote Of Al to IL, and now goes 70
the House for concurrence.
The fight in the House over the NEAR
inspection bill ended Monday, id Q
compromise, arranged by Speaker
Cannon and the President. and after
wards ratified by the unanimous vote OF
the members OF the House committee
on agriculture. The amendment agreed
on may be incorporated in the agricui-
tural bill in the House under suspen-
sion Of the rules and the agricultural
bill sent back to conference.
Il is the general understanding that
the Senate will take the amended IN
spection scheme and that the sharp
controversy over the matter Is at an
end.
President Roosevelt signed the Okla
homa statehood bill in the presence OF
several persons, last Saturday, using
gold pen to write Theodore. and an

measure also provides that Arizona and

hood as the state Of Arizona, provided
the people OF the territories vote in
favor Of admission, on the terms sub
mitted to them by congress
1t is probable that the railroad rate
bill viii be 50 amended an to remove oil
pipe lines from the list Of common
carriers That is the result of the
agitation started last week in behalf OF
the independent producers of oil. many
Of whom are also the owners of inde-
pendent pipe lines.
Under the bill as it now stands pipe
lines are made common carriers and are
forbidden to carry freight Of their own
production. Those provisions were
aimed primarily at the members Of the
hard coal trust and the Standard Oil
Company. The independent oil men
have convinced number Of Congress
men that the Standard is so small
producer OF crude oil that the pro-
visions Of the bill applicable to the
pipe lines will hurt them q great deal
more than they will hurt the Standard.
The House passed the meat inspection
measure. Tuesday Is agreed upon by
