FORCE OF GRAVITY.

How 1t Would Affect Mans Weight On
the Celestial Bodies.
II the planet Mars be really inhab-
tied the people who live there must be
an exceedingly agile The av-
erage weight of Il man Is about 40
pounds, but the force of gravity on
Mars Is SO much less than ON the
earth that the lao pound man would
weigh only f~ifty-three pounds II be
were 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 ten
foot walls and do various other ex-
traordinary things. On the moon a
man would be yer lighter.
But on the u our 40 FOUNDER
would have his troubles. Instead Of
being an airy Individual he would
weigh In the neighborhood of a ton
and three-quarters. He would prob
ably have the greatest difficulty in
raising his hand, for that member
would weigh about 800 pounds.
According to scientific computation,
a man who on earth weighs 40
pounds would on the other celestial
bodies weigh as follows:
The moon, % pounds; Mars, IS
pounds; Venus, ia pounds; Mercury,
119 pounds; Neptune. 1913 pounds;
Uranus, 127 pounds; Saturn, 165
pounds; Jupiter, 81 pounds. and the
sun, 1871 pounds.-Chicago Tribune.

MRS. ELLA FLAGG VOTING

For the first time in It's history.
the National Educational Associa-
ton has elected a woman to the
presideney-Mrs. Ella Ffagg Young
whose worldwide reputation in
educational circles was accentuated
a year ago by her appointment as
superintendent of education for the
great city of Chicago, In itself an
unmistakable diploma of phenomz
email ability, and a tribute of sincere
affection and admiration from her
feIlow-teachers and associate edu-
Gators of Chicago, among whom. she
has labored nearly all her life, and
who feel for her a love akin to rev.
erence
OF medium height and quiet but
active bearing, with bright express
siye eyes and hair tinged with gray.
Mrs. Young at once impresses a new
acquaintance with a strong but
charming sense of her superiority
in her chosen lfe-work. Friends
have often claimed that she remind
ed them of Abraham Lincoln, and
eerhaps the contour of her face and
her large, deeply-set eyes, whose
somewhat sad expression lights up
with a genial and helpful interest
which wins every heart, warrant
their oft-repeated declaration.%Joe

HOUSING REFORM DON'TS.
Don't let your city become a city
or tenements. Keep it a city of
homes.
Don't imagine there is no neces-
sfty for action because conditions in
your city are not as bad as they are
elsewhere.
Don't build a model tenement I'M
til you have secured a model hous-
ing law.
Don't attempt to legislate first and
investigate afterwards.
Don't permit any new houses to
be built that do not have ADEQUATE
light and ventilation and proper san
itation.
Don't legislate merely for the
present.
Don't permit the growth of new
slums. Prevention is better than
cure.
Don't tolerate the lodger evil. Nip
it in the bud.
Don't tolerate cellar dwellings.
Don't let the poor be denied a lib
eral supply of water in their homes.
Don't permit houses unfit for hui
man habitation to be occupied.
Don't repeat the talk about the
poor not wanting good housing ae-
commodations.
Don't permit privies to exist IL
any city. Compel their removal.
Don't cease your efforts when you
have passed q good law. Eterna.
vigilance is not only the price OF lib.
erty. but of all progress.-Lawrence

CHARGE OF FRAUD

New York, Feb. 1S.--A transplanted
farmer from Huntersville, Mimi. who
passes under the name of Syrous M.
Drake and declares he is descendant
of Sir Francis Drake, was arraigned
before United State Commissioner
Shields today to answer to a charge of
fraud preferred against him by the

accused of working the familiar game
OF sending word to his namesakes
around the country that he has dscov-
cred records here proving the existence
of a $20o,00o.00o estate distributable
to heirs of the valiant admiral That
ne was successful In enlisting the In

PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH CASE

indianapolis, Ind. Feb. 1s.-Presby-
terrain church circles throughout a
large section of the country will await
with interest the decision in the case
OF James w. Ramsey ct al. VS. Joseph
P. Hicks ct al, which came up for ar
gument before the state supreme court
today. The case involves a dispute
over church property arising from the
consolidation Of the Cumberland Pres
pyterian church and Is similar to a
number of cases that have been tried
IN the south and elsewhere since the
merger of the two denominations and in
which varying decisions have been
reached. In> the present case. which
started in Evansville, Ind, the deci-
sion of the appellate court awarded the
property of the Cumberland Presbyter-
Ian church to a dissenting minority in
stead of the majority who had consolf.
dater with the Presbyterian church.
This decision was vacated by the su-
preme court, which at the same time
granted a petition to transfer the case
to it's docket.
