WEIGHT OF A BODY.
How II Decre@@Si as 1t Goes Above or
Below the Earth's Surface.


Everybody weighs more at the sur.
face of the earth than it can at any
other point Its weight diminishes as
1t is removed above the surface or be-
low 1t. AS it rises from the surface
its weight decreases in inverse ratio to
the squares of the distances from the
center of the earth. As it descends
below the surface its weight decreases
directly as the distance from the cen
ter of the earth.
Thus a body weighing 100 pounds at
the surface of the earth, which is APP
proximately 1000 miles from the cen
ter, would weigh only twenty-five
pounds at point 1000 miles high. At
twice the distance it has one-quarter
the weight
If we drop the same body half the
distance to the center of the earth or
TO a point approximately 1000 miles
below the surface it will weigh fifty
pounds.
The reason for this is that at 1000
miles from the center the body is on
the surface of a sphere of 1000 miles
radius
What causes weight is the mass of
matter combined with distance from
the center 4 globe of 1000 miles
radius contains one-eighth as much
matter as a globe of 1000 miles ra-
dius the size of the earth: therefore
only one-eighth as much matter at
tracts the body, which, if mass were
the only factor, would at 1000 miles
from the center weigh one-eghth as
much as at the surface of the earth
But it is also only half as far from
the center as it was at the surface and
If distance We're the only factor. would
weigh four times as much as on the
surface. -Four times one-eighth is one
half; therefore II weighs half what it
would at the surface.
Now, suppose we drop this body tc
the very center OF the earth and see
what it would weigh All the matter
of the earth is now outside II and eau
exercise no attraction whatever upon
it; therefore it weighs nothing at ALI

DISCIPLINE AT SEA.
Penalties end Privileges Aboard Ship
In Former Days.

Penalties end Privileges Aboard Ship
In Former Days.
Some remarkable advice to seafarers
is given in an old Portuguese book pub
lished for the guidance of mariners.
Among other things it deals with the
rights of captains to assault sailors
and the methods in which the attacks
are to be legally met.
The sailor was advised to bear calmly
any verbal abuse that an irate skipper
may hurl at him, but if words passed
to blows he was to run away into the
bows and firmly take his stand beside
the anchor chain.
Should an Infatuated master armed
with a Delaying pin or other lethal
weapon chase him to his stronghold
the mariner was to slip round to the
farther side of the chain. Should he
still be pursued he was to call his
messmates to witness that the master
had broken the rules by circumventing
the chain.
Then at last he was to defend him
self. and let us hope he would do 1t
we'll Other little matters of discipline
are set out, and they show n noble eff
fort to make the punishment fit the
crime
The ships clerk, a privileged person
who acted as bookkeeper purser and
cargo master, was liable to be branded
in the forehead 10 lose his right hand
and to forfeit all Of his property if he
/ made a wrong entry in the ships book
! or connived at such an entry.
A seaman who fell asleep on his
watch was only put on diet of bread
/ and water unless the offensc was com
mitted in hostile waters. In that case
he must be stripped naked logged by
/ his messmates and ducked thrice in
! the sea.
If he were an officer however, he
would only lose all food except his
/ bread and have a pail Of water flung
over from the head downward.-I.on.
