Young Mr. Thorndyke, an Eng
lishman, who was very prominent
socially, was invited to dine with
the AlIisons one evening. Louis,
the younger sol of the Allisons,
had been allowed to be one of the
party. During IA silence at the din

"Are you an Englishman?"
"Ies," laughed Mr.. Thorndyke.
Don't you like Englishmen?
ooh, yes" was the response.

WEIGHT OF MATTER.
II Remains Constant Despite Any Pos
sible Change In Form.

Not only is the force of gravity,
which We call weight, dependent
simply on the mass Of "A body, with
out regard to its nature or chemical
composition, but it is independent
also of its physical state of aggre-
gation-that is TO Say, a given
quantity of matter weighs exactly
the same (as nearly as can be ascer-
tanned by exact experiment. wheth-
er it be in the solid or liquid or
gaseous state; whether it be heated
or cooled, boiled or frozen; wheth-
er it be decomposed or burned, or
whatever may be done to it, there
seems literally no way of changing
the force with which the earth at
tracts it, except by either removing
it farther from the earth or lower
ing it down a pit into its interior,
in either of which cases the force
diminishes in a perfectly simple
and easily calculated manner.
The weight of a body diminishes,
whether it be taken up above the
surface or be lowered beneath it.
The latter diminution of weight is
because some of the earth's crust is
now above the body and pulls it up
instead of down. A thing weighs
most at the earth's surface. That a
body should weigh a little less at
the top of a mountain or in a bal
loon seems obvious enough, but that
it should weigh rather less in a
coal pit is not so obvious. 1t may
be thought of as then being out
side a smaller earth-an earth with
a film of skin virtually removed.
For Newton showed that inside the
hollow of a uniform eccentric
spherical shell there would be no
force at all except what might be
generated by pieces of matter inside
that hollow.
The best known variation of
weight is that caused by carrying
a body from pole to equator, for
that is equivalent to carrying it a
little farther away from the main
bulk of earth because of its oblate
shape. AT any given place the
weight of a given quantity Of mat
ter under all conditions is constant.

Magazine.

A Grab Habit.

Catch a fresh crab, mash the end
of one of its claws and watch with
what fierce wrath it will tear off
the mutilated member. Is it pride
that causes him to do this bit of
surgical work, or is he afraid of
blood poisoning, or is it because the
manned claw might obStruct his
speed or entangle him in the sub
marine botany? The crab is an in
teresting creature and, like his big
cousin, the lobster, is as scrappy as
a game bantam, often losing a limb
