dime held at arms length from
the eye will much more than cover the
entire disk of the sun. II it were
placed at the exact point of coincidence
and its diameter and distance from the
eye accurately measured, it might be
used as means of determining the
suns diameter, his distance being
known. The foremost philosophers OF
long ago would have been appalled, at
the true statement Of both the sun 5
distance and its size.
The suns diameter is about S66,UoO
miles. 1t is bewildering TO be assured
that II would take 100000 earths TO
equal the sun in volume. If the in
terror of that truly gigantic globe were
hollow and the earth were placed at Its
center with the moon revolving about
II at its usual mean distance of nearly
100000 miles. there would still exist
yacuity between the moon and the IN
closing shell OF the sun of nearly 100
600 miles This is perhaps the most
graphic and impressive illustration pos
sible of the suns colossal bulk. We
must note, however, that the density
Of the sun is only about one-quarter
that of the earth, so that 1t would
weigh only as much as $4,000 earths.
In very round numbers the suns
weight may be stated at two octillion
tons, which If expressed in figures
would require almost as many ciphers
as a newspaper line can accommodate.
very comprehensive Illustration Of
the pygmean dimensions OF the earth
as compared with the sun is TO repre-
sent the latter by a globe two feet in
diameter and the earth bya dainty pea.
And vet the little pea weighs more
than six Quintillion tons. As TO the

Concrete houses are becoming COM
mon, and concrete ships seem TO be on
the way. Italian engineers have been
working in this direction for ten years
or more. One of them recently pro-
posed the use OF concrete armor on
warships, and the italian government
has agreed to tests. That government
already owns and employs several con-
crete steamships OF about one hundred
tons capacity, and has found, 1t Is
said. that they originally cost only
about half as much as iron vessels, and
that the maintenance cost is little or
nothing. In these novel craft the
frames and beams are made of con-
crete. reinforced with round bars Of
iron, and the skin consists of single
or double layer of concrete strengthened
with wire netting and covered with
an outside coat OF clear cement. For
the purpose of experiment, such vessels
have been rammed by larger ships, and
mo impression was produced" But a
carefully planned experiment In time OF
peace and a rude and unmannerly shell
or torpedo in war time might yield very
different results.
