thing like 10000 tons. AS the surface
or sphere varies as the square Of
the radius, and as the volume or mass
varies as the cube Of the radius, and
as the mechanical pressure Of light on
the whole surface varies as that sur
face. and as the force of gravity varies
as the mass, IL sphere Is made
smaller and smaller 1t Is easily seen
that the pressure Of light does not de-
crease so fast as the force OF gravity.
so bodies beyond certain minuteness

Tickiing a Hippo,

come here and I'll scratch your
tongue. Caliph,' visitor to the Cen
tral park menagerie heard the keeper
say to the young hippopotamus.
. The visitor hadn't expected that the
hippo understood English. but appar-
emily he did. He came up to the edge
OF the tank. opened his jaws a yard or
80 and waited. The keeper put his
hand into the open mouth and it'll
lated the animals tongue with the
ends Of his fingers.
That's the way to make hippo
love you," said the keeper. They
like to be tickled. just as cat likes
to have you stroke its back. Caliph
wouldn't close his mouth on my arm.
and 1 know l am taking no risk
They are the most amiable big beasts
In the world. and I would trust them
more than ! would an elephant."-
