Light has an actual mechanical pres
sure and can be measured in the labora-
tory. It has been found that the SUMS
light in itself presses against the earth
with a force something like 10000 tons.
AS the surface of a sphere varies as
the square of the radius, and as the
volume or mass varies as the cube of
the radius, and as the mechanical pres
sure of light on the whole surface
varies as that surface, and as the force
Of gravity varies as the mass, if a
sphere is made smaller and smaller it
is easily seen that the pressure of light
does not decrease so fast as the force
of gravity, so bodies beyond a certain
minuteness could not reach the sun,
but would be repealed by the mechani-
cal force of its light.

Spelling No Guide to Pronunciation.

According to eminent English edu-
Gators spelling is absolutely no guide
to pronunciation. To prove this as
sertion Professor Jones of the Uni
versity college, London, gives as an
instance of the futility of trying to
pronounce according to spelling a
puzzle which requires the word 'fix-
ture' to be spelled without using any
of the letters in it. The answer is
"phykscha."
Potato could be spelled "ghough-
phtheightteeau," "gh" representing
''p" as in 'hiccough," "ough"- 90"
as in though" ''phth"- ct" as in
''phthisis," "eigh"-"a" as in weigh"
"tte"-"t'' as in gazette" and "eau"
20" as in 'beau."
