WEIGHT OF PLANETS.
Il Is the Mass of the Body That Counts
With the Astronomer.

If ham weighing thirty pounds
were taken up to the moon and weigh
ed there, the ''pull"-the attractive
force of the moon upon the ham
would amount to only five pounds.
There would be another weight OF the
ham for the planet Mars and yet an
other on the sun. A ham weighing
thirty pounds at New York ought to
weigh some 800 pounds on the suns
surface; hence the astronomer does not
speak of the weight of a planet, be-
cause that would depend upon the
place where it was weighed. But he
speaks of the mass of the planet,
which means how much planet there is,
no matter where it might be weighed.
At the same time we might, without
any medicines, agree that the weight
Of a heavenly body should be fixed by
the weight 1t would have in New
York AS we could not imagine a
planet in New York, because it may
be larger than the earth itself, what
we are to imagine is this: Suppose the
planet could be divided into a million
million million equal parts and one of
these parts brought to New York and
weighed. We could easily find its
weight in pounds or tons. Then null
tiply this by million million million,
and we shall have weight of the plan
ct. This would be equivalent to what
astronomers might take as the mass of
the planet.-Current Literature.

A Thirsty Cat.

perhaps you think the old water in
the milk joke has been worked to
death, but I've found a new variation
of it," said a south side man recently.
You know, l have a small negro girl
as a nurse for my children, and one Of
her duties is to tell stories to the kids
just before bedtime. They always lis
ten intently to what she says, and last
night l decided to listen too. This is
what / heard:
"'An' de cat she got thirsty, an got
thirstier an mo- thirsty, an finally she
went to a pan OBJ milk sittin' in de
pantry to get drink OBJ watah.'
Il told the story to our milkman this
morning, and he didn't laugh at all."-

a prominent educator in this State
has put forward the theory that the
majority of children should not be
educated beyond the bare rudiments.
While he probably will not admit it,
he is maintaining the position that
the many should or must labor for
the few, and that they will do it
more contentedly when kept in par
tial ignorance. We are not favor
ably impressed with this view of the
subject of popular education. We
believe in giving every boy and girl
a good education, whether circum-
stances places him or her in the field
and the lowly walks of life or In the
higher plains of intellectual endeay-
or and high positions of place and
power.-Solthern Argus.

A special from Tallahassee to the
Montgomery, (Ala). Advertiser says:
members of the Florida House of
Representatives today filed pro-
test against the limestone water at
Tallahassee by passing resolution
asking that the members be supplied
with distilled water to drink. An
amendment was offered to make the
request apply to the boarding houses
and hotels also" Funny that no
kicks upon the water have been reg
istered by previous legislatures, but
then, you know, the GASES at Balm
bridge and Quincy have gone dry
since the soIons last met and we pre-
sumo they are forced to fall back on
water as a last resort.-Pensacola

If the railroads would only deal
fairly and justly with their patrons
there would not be SO much com
plant against these corporations.
Here is one instance a patron cites:
If he does not move his freight from
the railroad freight depot in GER
tain time he is charged storage. If
that same freight took a month to
come over this road a couple of hun
dred miles, why the shipper has no
redress without too much expense to
compel the railroad to pay damages.

With a situation where as much as
So day is being offered for vege-
table pickers and packers, and no
takers-a condition which at present
obtains in sections of this state-it
looks like one of the most important
duties confronting our public men is
ii strenuous effort to secure such i'm
migration as would relieve the labor
congestion. AS an instance Of how
hard it is to get anybody to do any
thing, we may cite the city council
of Lakeland advertising for a man
who WAS wanted merely to circulate
a public subscription paper, offering
to pay $3.50 a day, and was unable to
secure anybody to take the job

many like the dews of Heaven, are
generously, wisely, and widely dis
tributed. Tarpon has her sponge in-

cabbage; Gadsden, her tobacco;

And so these bountiful gifts of one
kind and another are distributed
over the whole state. This is par
ticularly true of the climate of Flori-
da, which is unapproached by any
state in the UniOn.-Ocala Banner.
