DR.. WOODWARD ESTIMATES
WEIGHT OF THE WORLD
Tells Scientists It Approximates Six
Thousand, Six Hundred Million,
Million, Million Tons.

Figures beyond the grasp of the
finite mind made up the statistical por-
tion of a lecture on The Earth de-
livered by Dr. II. S. Woodward, presi-
dent Of the Carnegie Institution, under
the auspices of the Washington Acad-
emy of Sciences, in the auditorium OF
the new National Museum yesterday
afternoon.
''The totality of the earths mass.
said President Woodward, when eX-
pressed in ordinary units j like that
of ton of coal or a ton Of any other
material. presents rather surprising
figures. this totality being approx
mately six thousand six hundred mil
lions, million million tons.
The speaker continued that with fig
ures such as these 1t did not matter
greatly whether the tons were long,
short of metric.
President Woodward describes the
earth as consisting of four parts. the
atmosphere, or air: the hydrosphere, or
oceans: the atmosphere, or stony crust,
and the centrosphere. or nucleus. OF
these he said, the hydrosphere and
lithosphere are best known to scien-
lists, the atmosphere in its eleveated
regions being little known. while the
centrosphere is terra incognlta.
The speaker described the chemical
composition of the earth as it has been
determined as the result of scientifc
research. Referring to the earth $
known property of acting as great
storehouse of heat, he said that the
earths center is sufficient to melt a
layer of ice a quarter of an inch thick
covering the entire surface. or total
of 500 cubic miles of ice annually.

The Alaska native can bes aved if he is given the care, same as ptarmigan. Of course his usefulness is not so appar- ent to us as a blooming bird, but we should remember that the people of the country have
 been given the native as a ward and when we let him die from disease or neglect we are just as much accountable as if we murdered him. Do we al- ways remember that we are guilty of murdering the poor Alaska savage by omission r.. Exchange.
