The Weight OF O Man.

How much do you weigh? The
average weight of man is 140 pounds,
but the force of gravity on Mars 81
so much less than on earth that the
140-pound man would weigh only 53
pounds IL transported thither. With
such light weight and still retaining
the same strength, an individual
would be able to run with the speed
of an express train, go skipping over
10-foot walls, and do various other
extraordinary things.
On the moon a man would be even
lighter. But on the sun our 140-
pound man would have his troubles
Instead Of being an airy individual
he would weigh a ton and three
quarters. He probably would have
the greatest difficulty In raising his
hand, for that member would weigh
800 pounds.
According to scientific computation
man who on earth weighs 14(
pounds would go to the other celes.

A Comparison Of The Henderson
vile Lake with the Most
Beautiful Lake in
England.

The magnitude and beauty Of Hen
great lake will be better
appreciated by a comparison with some
of the most famous lakes and lake seem
cry in the world. we, of course do not
mean to compare it with the Great
Lakes, whose value is chiefly q CONNER
cial one, but with smaller and more
beautiful bodies of water.
Lake Geneva in Switzerland is larger
and is surrounded by loftier and grander
mountains, but it lacks the softer and
more beautiful, If less grand scenery
which will surround the new lake.
The lake most nearly approaching ours
in size, form and general features is
Derwentwater, in Westmoreland, Eng
land. A writer in describing Ullswater
and DerWentwater, says: -
ssUllswater is the largest and Der
wentwater the most beautiful lake in

duce it, and thousands of people
have come here suffering with tbe
disease to be cured, and invariably
have been cured. Malaria does
not and cannot exist here. Hen.
dsrsonville is immune, as she
demonstrated she was when she
threw open her gates to the yell
low fever refugees, when all the
world was maintaining shot gun
quarantine against them.
However, as the question has
been brought up, we are glad of
an opportunity to say few words
In reference to the matter.
A few citations from "The Re-
ference Handbook of the Medical
Sciences, edited by Buck (Wood
& Company, New York, 1880 will
bear us out in our contention. The
Handbook" is a recognized au-
thority amongst the leaders of the
medical profession:
"The malarial miasm is assum-
ed to arise during the retrogres-
sion of organic matter to the in
organic state under favorable con-
ditions as to water and heat.
When the moisture 10 in excess, as
when the ground is wholly covered
with water, there is no malarial. !"
1.-THE generally accepted theory
of malarlal evolution calls for the
concurrence of an organic soil, a
certain degree of heat, and a GER
tain degree of moisture" (The
conditions prescribed do pot exist
here
"Dams, lakes and ponds, with
IN equable water-level and defined
margins, are not unhealthy, but
grounds that are alternately SUBJ
merged and exposed are malari-
Gus.
"The mistH that gather at night
fall and hover until sunrise sug-
gested the concentration and con-
densation of the morbific princi-
pie in the watery yapor: but

ed to discover a specific poison in
the organic matter with which 1t
was contaminated" l."

The Mass Meeting.

At a mass meeting called by the
officers of the lake company for
last Tuesday night, over $12, 900
was subscribed to make up the
difference between what the land
owners ask and what the outside
capitalists are ready to pay. This
amount was increased to $40. 900
later.
The meeting was undoubtedly
the most enthusiastic ever held in
this city. The big court room was
packed and <the enthusiasm was
unbounded. Mr.. N. Curtis stated
his objections to the lake, but he
was alone in his objections, and
his opposition seemed ell that was
necessary to make the audience
give more literally.
Subscriptions of $1,000 and $500
each came in thick and fast. Each
new subscriber was greeted with
cheering and stamping of feet and
clapping of hands. The ladies
were out in large numbers and
we're by no means backward in
their expressions of approval of
the liberal contributions made.
The scene was one long to be
remembered and 10 q faint indica-
tion of the popularity of the great
scheme. No one can question the
fact that to build the lake the
people of this town are ready to
dig down into their own pockets,
and literally, too.
What little opposition has been
manifested during the inception
and working out of the great plan
seems to have disappeared, and
there seems, at this time to be but
one desire on the, part of the peo-
pie, and that is to build the lake
and build it soon.
Men present at the meeting at-
terwards stated it 30 their belief
that hardly in any other town IN
the whole south would it have
been possible to witness such en-
thusiasm, such public spirit and
such a Willingness to make per
sonal sacrifices for the public
good. They were loud III theil

the entire drive will be bordered

It requires no imagination to pic
ture the future Of Hendersonville
when this condition arrives. He
would be a bold man, indeed, who
would now draw a picture of this
towns future. Let it suffice, that
the town will be unique. It will
have unquestionably the most
beautiful artificial lake in the

NATIONAL CELEBRATION

TO w. 4. Smith must be given
the credit for the unique idea of q
national celebrat ion when the lake
is completed. He proposes to have
q COMMITTEES Of men such as Gov.
Glenn and Mr.. Geo. Vanderbilt
and others, invite, in the name of
the city, q long list of the notable
men of the country to be present
at a great celebration to be held
about two ysaFs from now. It is
claimed 1t would by no means be
difficult to have men of national
prominence here for an event of
such Importance, and that it would
be but fitting climax that men
whose names are famous the world
over should be in attendance upon
an event which wilIitself be world
famous. MK Smith originated the
idea, which has been heartily com
msnded by all who ha We heard of it.
