Wejoht of the Planets.

II ham weighing 80 pounds were
taken up to the moon and weighed
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
on the sun. A ham weighing 30
pounds at New York ought to weigh
some 500 pounds on the suns surface.
Hence1 the astronomer does not speak
of the weight of a planet, because that
WOULD -@epend 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
1t might be weighed. At the same
time, says Current Literature, We
might, without any inexactness, agree
that the weight of heavenly body
should be fixed by the weight it would
have in New York. AS We could not
imagine a planet in New York. be-
cause it may be larger than the earth
itself. what we are to imagine is this:
SUPPOSE the planet could be divided
into a billion million million equal
parts d d one of these parts brought
to Newt ~ DIRK and weighed. We could
easily find it's weight in pounds or
TONS Then multiply this by million
million million and we shall have a
weight of the planet. This would be

Plan Assessment Board Change.

Preparation of a bill to change the
composition of the state board of
equalization and assessment by reduc-
ing it's membership from five to three
has been commenced, and as soon as
the measure is fully drafted it will be
introduced in one or both houses of
the legislature. It is proposed to
make the board of review include the
governor, the secretary of state and
only onA other state official. The
boards present membership takes in
the land commissioner, treasurer and
auditor, but if the change that is in
view should take place two of these
would have to be dropped. Some I'M
certainty exists as to which of them
will be left off in the bill as it is to be
formulated. The desire for this
change comes from the fact that dur
ing the two years in which Land
Commissioner Eaton and Auditor
Searle have been members they have
twice opposed any considerable in
crease in the assessments transpor-
tation companies, and with the assist
ance of Former Secretary of State Ca
lusha, their votes prevailed in 1905
and 1906. The railroads, under the
change (if it is made) will be given a
full hearing, as they have already had.
1t is believed the change will result
in square deal all around.
