WORTH KNOWING
How to Weigh the Earth.

People sometimes wonder how we
are able to weigh the earth. There
are several methods, but here is one
that a school boy can understand. 1t
has been found by various tests that
a cubic foot of earth weighs 300
pounds as a general average. Taking
the earth's diameter at 1880 miles
the whole globe will contain 26l ,107,-
411,765 cubic miles, which Is equal to
l,423,499 100, SS2, 544,640 cubic yds.
which is equal to S,434,476. 263, $685.
705,2S0,OOO cubic feet Allowing 300
pounds as the weight of each cubic
foot we shall have for the weight of

Old Custom Survives.

Uckfeld has Just held its annual pea
supper. a function which owes its
origin to a practical Joke. Fifteen
years ago a plot Of land belonging to
a resident became. on account Of its
neglected state, such an eyesore to
his fellow-townsmen that they took
the matter into their W hands and
dug 1t up. The owner resolved to
profit by their labor and plant the
field. but on his next visit to the spot
he found to his annoyance, that 1t had
already been sown with peas.
Soon. however. anger gave place to
amusement, and he laughingly told the
perpetrators of the Joke that they
would have to eat the peas, says Lon.
don Titbits. This in due course they
did. and from that day the celebration
has grown yearly In popularity. Over
80 sat down a week back to a capital
repast OF peas. bacon and other excel
lent fare.
