Theory of Earth's interior.

For the best essay on the earth's in
terror the University of Jena has
awarded a prize to M Theme, whose
theory is thus outlined: The mean
density of the earth is known to be
more than five times that of water. AS
the surface rocks have an average
density of only 21s and water of 1, the
interior must have density of about
7.7-that of iron. 1t is fairly certain
also that the rigidity is slightly great
er than that of steel. He concludes
that the earth's crust is about $50
miles thick, instead Of the 80 miles of
the common estimate, and that it in
closes a very dense and rigid core that
he calls barysphere.

KNIGHTED BY q KING

Sir Arthur Wing Pinero, who has just been
knighted by King Edward VII in honor of the
Official royal birthday, is generally conceded to
be the greatest of living English playwrghts. He
began his career as a lawyer but when clients
failed to recognize their opportunity he gave up
his profession and became an actor. Thence
it was short step to play-making and his sue
cess in this work has been pronounced almost
from the outset.
The Pinero plays of infinite variety, but
his greatest popular successes have been his
lighter works, such as Sweet Lavender" Tire
lawney Of the Wells" 1.-THE Amazons" and "Prin
cess and the Butterfly" Perhaps his real repu
tation as a play-writer may be said to rest upon
that rather remarkable series Of social studies
