quarters of ton per square inch!
Now if it could be supposed that the in
habitants of that planet were composed of
substances Of relatively small density, so that
an animal as large as a man would weigh no
more there than a man does here, they
would almost be able to float in the air, and
with comparatively slight aid could actually
do SO. Aerial navigation would be as easy
and natural to them as swimming is to us.
This leads us to another consideration.
We have thus far assumed that the mean
density Of the great planet in the Algol sys-
tenn is equal to that of the earth. The prob
ability is however, that its density may not
be more than one-quarter of the earths This
calculation is based both upon observation
and upon analogy. The mean density of the

III FQR MAYQR LUNN


Mayor George R. Lunn, of Schen-
eetady, was sentenced to serve so
days in jail or pay a fine of $50
today for quoting Abraham Lin
coin at a strikers meeting at
Clinton Park in this city.
Lunn will not pay the fine. An
appeal will be taken, but probably
not in time;to escape going to jail.
Lunn was asked to come here
by the strikers. The police told
him that if he addressed the strik-
ers, they would arrest him.
Lunn told the police that if his
speech to the strikers was not in
f1ammatory, il would be.a viola
ton Of his constitutional right Of.
free speech.
The police remarked that they
did not give awhoop about con
stitutionsl rights. and that if
Lunn opened his mouth he would
be arrested,
L.tirn went to the strikers
meeting, He began to quote from
Abraham Lincoln, He was ar
rested at once.
When sentenced today, Lunn
said:
This is a matter of principle.
I never will pay one dollar for |
quoting Abraham Lincoln. "

raham Lincoln does not appear in |
the information against you,"
said Judge Collins. Call the |

SHE'S NO MARBLE STATUE
New York. Nov. 15.-Mrs. Sc
