HOW TO WEIGH THE EARTH
Simple Method Adopted by Colo
brated English Savant for Esti-
mating Globes Weight.

Washington.-We know the size OF
this planet, so we know how many gal
Ions Of water could go into the space
1t occupies. Well, all those gallons
would weigh just about 100000. 0OO,-
0OO,OO0,O00 tons. One billion billions
Of tons! Now the earth isn't made OF
water only, but Of rocks and metals
and sand and thousand other things.
How many times heavier would 1t be
when all these things are allowed for!
To use the scientific word-what Is
the density Of the earth?
The best way Of making such a
measurement was invented in 1875
by celebrated English savant. Henry
Cavendish.
Cavendish's method was an indirect
one The force that draws body to
the earth-its Weights a manifesto

ton of the power known as gravita'
ton We know how to measure this
power, and everybody is familiar with
its manifestations.
Everybody, on the earth or of, at.
tracts every other body. The amount
of the attraction depends only on the
mass of the two bodies that attract
each other and the distance between
them.
Cavendish eliminated the earth as q
distributing factor by making his two
bodies attract each other in hori
zontal direction. The earth's attrac
ton is, Of course, vertical. He took
long, thin stick, very light and si1
feet in length, and suspended 1t hori'
zontally by silver wire fastened to
its middle To each end of the rod he
attached little balls or knots OF lead
The bodies that were to attract
these two knobs were two big balls
of lead. He arranged his apparatus
so that at given signal he could
bring the large balls close up to
knobs at the ends Of the stick. one
on one side of the knob, one on
the other side of the knob at the other
end
He found that When he did this
each knob drew toward the big lead
ball near it, swinging the wooden
rod round on its wire support. With
delicate instruments he measured how
much the rod and the wire twisted
out of place. Thus he could tell what
was the force of attraction-the force
of gravitation-pulling the knobs to
ward the lead balls. He knew how
much the earth would attract the lit
tie knobs-that is. he knew theil
weight; he knew how much material
there was in the large lead balls he
used, the ratio of the quantity of ma
terial in the earth to the quantity II
the balls of lead followed from the
simple laws established by Isaac New
ton.

SO many different fads that no briet
article would suffice to catalogue them
ALL However, the former president
attributes much of his energy and in
tense interest in life to the fact that
he not only has plenty of fads to al
low for that variety which is the spice
of existence but is always attempting
something new.
Alexander Graham Bell, inventor Of
the telephone, has for some years past
had kite flying as a fad and has
busted himself with all sorts of in
teresting experiments with a new
type of triangular shaped kite which
he has developed, his experiments
even including the operation Of wire
less telegraphy via kites. Emil Ber-
liner, another famous inventor, who
contributed to the present day tele-
phone and monograph, is now dab
bling with airships as pastime.
Thomas Edison finds relief from his
high pressure work by long autOmo-
bile tours combined with camping ex-
periences when he literally sleeps In
the open.
AS almost every newspaper reader
! knows the chief fad Of J. Pierpont
Morgan, the financier Is pictures and
other art objects, but he is also very
fond Of yachting. John d. Rockefel-
Ter Is another we'll known man whose
especial failing is golf. No end OF
