PEOPLE THINGS.
From Germany.


According TO the Bureau OF Statistics,
Germany is the chief source OF all i'm
ported paper and paper goods coming
TO the United States More than seven
out Of the ten millions OF dollars worth
OF paper goods used in the United States
comes from that country. Lithographic
labels and prints comprise nearly half
the total imports along this line, and are
valued az about S5.OO0OOO per year. On
the other hand American manufacturers
have sold paper IN foreign markets TO
the amount Of $4,000 600 during the past
ten years. But In the same period the
United States has purchased S0,000o00
worth Of paper and paper goods from
manufacturers abroad. over fifty differ
ent countries have made separate emu
meratiOns Of paper in their official state
ments Of exports and imports which
shows that one Of the potential products
OF to-day is that used in connection with
printing, which Is used in all nations and
in all climes. The increased production
and lower cost Of paper for which the
wood pulp is used have spread knowledge
and aided In the development Of the
world as has no other single product Of
commerce. Without an abundant supply
Of paper, even the potent printing press
would be like a great gun with no am
munition.

weight of the Earth.

The earth weighs 1900 900 900. 000 600. co..
10000 pounds. In a strict sense Of the
word, The earth has no weight at al, be-
cause the weight is really the pull Of the
earth itself on any other body And as
the earth Is thought 10 be pulling on all
parts OF Itself equally In all directions
the net result is. OF course. no pull al all
But II a large pair OF scales could be
fixed at some point OF tho earth's surface,
and II the earth could be brought up bit
by bit. cubic foot by cubic foot, weighed,
and then returned 20 its place. the result
would be as above. says the Chicago
Tribune. However, when we talk Of the
weight Of the earth. we really mean its
mass. The possibility OF finding the mass
OF the earth IS due 20 Newton. For he
taught that bodies pulled each other with
forces depending solely upon their mass
and their distance apart. He showed the
way. and ten years after his death the
first real weighing experiment was made.
A succession OF experiments resulted ia
the density OF the earth being determined

Of Mitchell and Cavend.sh. and finally
those Of Prof Boys, who found that
the earth has 5.52 times the density OF
water. The weight Of a cubic foot OF
water IS about sIxty-two and one-half
pounds. And the average weight Of a
cubic foot OF earth IS about so pounds.
or about five and one-haIf times as much
as the cubic foot Of water. But this is
quite imaginary. Tor specimens Of the
earth can be obtained only by mere
scratches upon its surface. Il has been
shown by the pendulum that the earth's
pull varies az different points on its sur
face. BY timing the same pendulum az
dinereat parts Of the surface II can be
found out how the weight varies from

A sixth Sense.

Scientists In Denmark are greatly puz-

aged thirty-six years. a Norwegian from
ChHstania. He has been an object OF
interest 10 the medical fraternity for
some time. and lately Prof. Frledenreich.

OF a steamer. and told TO pilot il through
the intricate channels OF Copenhagen
Harbor. This he did without any mishap
whatever. lie displayed no nervousness
or hesitation. He took d dozen sharp
corners and followed a zgzag course
throughout without any uncertainty. He
explains his gift as a sixth sense, and
