Man Considered
BY PROMOTERS

A plan OF cooperation BY which the
promotion committee will work with
the publicity department OF the mers
chants association CT Manila, and the
tourists bureau Of Japan. to increase
travel on the Pacific. win be put be-
fore the Hawaii Promotion Commit
tee at its meeting this afternoon.
1t is scheme Wy which an expert

three bodies, may be sent to the
mainland to encourage tourists TO Wis
It Hawaii, Japan and the Philippines,
and also to make better arrangements
with steamship and railroad compan-
les for rates, and secure excursions
whenever possible. and plan their tin
|erary. The proposition win be laid be-
fore the committee by Fl. P. Wood,
secretary, who has taken the matter
ND with D. NJ. CarrIan Of Manila.
Mr.. Larman. wealthy business
man CT the Philippines. left here yes

cussed the cooperative plan with Mr..
wood, and viii present 1t, on his re-
turn to Manila, to the merchants as
sociation, of whose endorsement he Is
already assured, he says.
{ AS a great deal of the tourist ira.
vel on the Pacific does not end here,
but continues to the Philippines and
Japan, both Mr.. Carman and Mr.,

deal of benefit can be enjoyed by Ha-
waii as well as the other two coun-
tries. II they join together in secur-
ing the services CT one high-class

this morning, who can meet the traf-
fic managers Of the various railroad
and steamship companies and can get
them to work with him in encourage
iLg South Pacific travel, and secure
rates. ETC., from them. The duties OF
such an agent would be to go from
place to place on the mainland, both
in the United States and Canada,
keeping sharp eye out for excur-
SONS, and do what he can to get the
excursionsts to traveI this way.
1T is a position which only a very

ALL WILL BOOM
CARNIVAL WEEK
And IT'S PLANS
American and japanese Edi-
tors Are Guests of Director
general at Informal
Dinner

American and Japanese newspaper
men, directors Of Floral Parades IN
the past and officials of the 1914
event, were guests of Director General
James d. Dougherty atsdinner at the
Commercial Club last night. They
gathered for an informal discussion
of the plans he is laying out for the
hid Pacific Carnival last February
and waxed more than enthusiastic as
he explained the various features of
Carnival Week.
Emphasis was laid on the features
lin which the Japanese community
will play leading part, particularly
the Japanese lantern parade and the
water carnival One of the questions
discussed was the date of the lantern
parade Director Dougherty has ten
tatively set the date Efor Thursday
night of Carnival Week. Several of
the japanese editors present suggest
ed that Saturday night might be
more desirable and Director Dougher-
ty asked them to talk it over and take
up the matter through their papers.
A. K 0zawa, whose splendid work
in the past has largely helped to or
ganize and direct the Japanese par
ticipation, will be urged again to ac-
|cept the Craftsmanship.
The united support of the press of
Honolulu was pledged to Mr.. Dough
|erty A former director. Charles f.
Chillingworth. who pulled off the big
carnival of last year, declared that the
support of the press had always been
given. the directors gladly and had
made the Carnivals possible of sue
cess. Last nights dinner was in the
nature of getting the newspapermen
together to talk over the various fea-
lures and boom the work of publicity.
Director Dougherty's plans were re-
lceived with much favorable comment.
The spectacular features of the week
met instant appreciation. His scheme
for financing the parade is regarded
as progressive and as he will have a
program extending over an entire
week, with no crowding of events but
with something doing all the time,
it is believed that a. long step will be
taken toward making the main part
of the carnival self-supporting.

CIPHERS IN
WEIGHT OF OLD
MOTHER EARTH

One hundred and fifteen years after
the ancients. mediaevals and other mo-
deri astronomers and physicists had
failed to agree about the weight of
the earth, the celebrated scientist,
Henry Cavendish,s measured the at
tractive power that two Jumps Of glo-
bular lead, which weighed respective
" about 400 pounds, had over two
similar, but, very much smaller, OBJ
jects. The plainly evident attractive
power was estimated by dainty in
strument which consisted of a thin
wire six and one-quarter feet long,
which held little trapeze from which
two tiny balls hung. As the two great
globules of lead approach these balls
from opposite sides there occurs a
twist, or etorsion," of the wire, which
is the index of the effect.
Francis Baily, another physicist, re-
peated this work more recently. In
order to secure extreme accuracy, he
made more than 2e00 separate repe-
titfons CT this experiment.
1t Is no difficult matter to compute
the pull which. the large balls must
have given the small ones to produce
the effect If the lead balls twelve
incres in diameter exert such force,
what would be their force, or their
dead pull, were they as large as the
earth?
The attractive force of the earth is
known 1t is the weight of such balls
that is to say, their tendency to fall.
The attractive power of the earth,
therefore, may now be compared with
the influence or drawing power of
lead
The mass and density of lead and
similar metals is known. therefore it
is merely matter of multiplying a
few figures to find the drawing pow
er" or attraction of the earth and its
weight The latter is, according to
this plan, Sc times heavier than a
globe of water.
The pendulum method consists in
the comparison of two pendulums, one
swinging on the surface of the earth
and the other beneath the surface:
The differences between these show
that at a given distance below there
is difference in the time of the
swing. Thus the pendulums differ in
a definite fraction of second for each
number of feet below the sea level.
This calculation has shown that the
earth is really over six times as
heavy as. water, and the actual weight
of the whole globe is $4,000, 900 .000.-
000. 000, 100000 pounds. New York
