WEIGHT or PLANETS.
1t Is the Mass of the Body That Counts
With the Astronomer.

If a ham weighing thirty pounds
were taken up 10 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 he another weight Of the
ham for the planet Mars and yet an
other on the sun. \ ham weighing
thirty pounds at New York ought to
weigh some 500 pounds on the SUMS
surface; hence the astronomer does not
speak Of the weight Of a planet be-
cause that would depend upon the
place where 1t 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 we miglt without
any ineXactness, agree that me weight
Of heavenly body should be fixed by
the weight it would have in New
York. AS we could not imagine q
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 a million million million,
and we shall have a weight of the plan
ct. This would be equivalent to what
astronomers might take as the mass Of
the planet-Current Literature.

WAGER OF BATTLE.
The First Duels are said TO Have
Been Fought In Italy.

The first dueis were fought in Italy,
rvc0rding to Millingen who speaks Of
I manuscript discovered at Cassel and
describes a duel between a father and
son in the reign of the Emperor The
cdoric. When Charlemagne forbade
wager of battle among the Lombards
he encountered the flercest opposition
from the mobiles. Early in the ninth
century De Medicis, a knight, defeated
In single combat the bandit Mugel,
who devastated the Florentine district
now called after him, Mugello. Otho
II. granted the prayer Of the nobility
for the establishment of wager Of
battle in 9SS Women and priests
were not compelled to accept it. The
\o.mans showed less gallantry. With
-a a woman had to accept, nor could
lie name Il champion. Her male op-
pouent however, was buried to his
waist in the earth. Armed with
club he tried to strike her as she cir
cled around him, his weapon being a
ball of iron at the end Of q cord. If he
failed .to touch her at the third at
tempt he was yanquished which
meant to him death with dlshonor.
Beccarin says that the reason so
many duels were fought in Italy in
the early days is that where the law
does not afford protection one must
look to single combat to retain the re-
spect of ones fellow men. In the mid
die ages the ferocity Of Italian duels
passes belief. ANY way Of putting an
enemy to death cogui moGoO is good

JAVA'S ISLAND OF FIRE.
IL IL Really n Lake of Boiling, Bub-
bling Mud I'D Slime.

The greatest ma Jnder In Java,
IL not in the entire /, is the Justly
celebrated "Gheko kamdka Gumko,"
to the world as the Island of Fire.
This geological singularity is really a
lake OF boiling mud situated at about
the center Of the plains Of Grobogana
and IS called an island because the
great emerald sea of vegetation which
surrounds 1t gives 1t that appearance
The "island" Is about two miles in cir
cumference, and is situated at a dis
tance of almost exactly fifty miles
from Solo. Near the center Of this
geological freak immense columns Of
soft. hot mud may be seen continually
rising and falling like great timbers
thrust through the boiling substratum
by giant hands and the again quickly
withdrawn. Besides the phenomenon
OF the boiling mud columns there are
scores Of gigantic bubbles Of hot slime
that fill up like huge balloons and keep
up series Of constant explosions, the
intensity Of the detonations varying
with the size Of the bubble. In time
past, so the Javanese authorities say,
there was a tall sprelike column Of
baked mud on the west edge Of the
lake which constantly belched a pure
stream of cold water. but this has long
beeu ohliterated. and everything is
now a sect ag mass of bubbling mud

THE EDIFYING SOLDIER.
setch 81 Ono of the Great German
10y Warehouses.


The Troedel market Is on little Is
land In the heart of the old town OF
Nuremberg Along the north branch
of the river is an old, low eaved house
with little darkling doorway. When
you have got SO far you are met by a
little old mana rusty little man who
looks as though he were made of metal
who leads you into the great mysteri-
Gus warehouse of toys.
Round all the walls they are ranged
guns, cannons, motors, steamships,
trumpets, sabers, and everywhere the
soldiers. How many millions of metal
soldiers have marched away from the
Troedel market not even the rusty old
man could tell you-mighty articles of
pewter and tin.
Hundreds of regiments, of battalions,
of divisions, are drawn up on the
shelves, waiting for the day when they
shall be sent out into battle. And
with kind of pride the rusty old man
says, They are edifying soldiers"
That is the German way of putting
It, What 1t means Is that each army
illustrates a battle or a campaign

Alexander, the exploits of Occur de
Lion, the war of thirty years, the
siege of Orleans. the victories Of Ma

a Use For His Hat

\ funny incident of drawing room
meeting was recently noticed. \ grave
looA'ag gentleman, with an unusually
tail nat, entered and, seeing no rack in
the hall, placed his hat on the floor just
behind the door. Pretty soon another
grave man entered, with a large, drip
ping umbrella, and, peering anxiously
for the usual receptacle, saw in the
gloom the hat resting on the floor His
eyesight was probably poor, for he
miStOok it for one of the new umbrella
holders, and In it he deposited his drip
ping umbrella. This was an example
for those who followed, and In a short
time the solemn LOOKING hat was
stanchly holding a dozen umbrellas.
At the end of the meeting the water In
the hat was an inch in depth.-London
