PLANETS AND GRAVITY.
The Vast Difference In Conditions Upon
Mars and Jupiter.

In an article entitled is Mars
Aliyef' In the Popular Science Monthly
Waldemar Kaempffert describes the
possible appearance of a Marian. In
speaking of the different conditions
prevailing on the planets Mr.. kaempf
fert says:
1.-The bigger the planet on which you
live, the harder it is for you to move
about. II you were suddenly transport
ed to Jupiter, the largest of the plan
cts. and if you were able to live on its
semi-molten surface, you would find it
hard to lift your arm. A steam crane
would be welcome assistance in NOV
ing your body about. This is due en-
tirely to the enormous gravitational at
traction which Jupiter would exert
upon you. The bigger the planet the
harder are you pulled down to its sur
face; the harder it is to put your foot
forward.
Mars is only one-nirith as massive
as the earth. Hence you would weigh
much less ON Mars than you do on the
earth. A Marian porter could easily
carry as much as terrestrial elephant
A Marian baseball player could bat a
ball mile. A very ordinary Marian
athlete could leap with ease over a
moderately sized house. Because his
planet is not able TO pull him down
with the attractive force that the earth
eXerts upon us, the typical Marian
has conceivably attained a stature that
we would regard as gigantic. Three
times as large as a human being, this
creature has muscles twenty-seveD
times as effective. His trunk must be
fashioned TO inclose lungs capable of
breathing the excessively attenuated
Marian air in sufficiently large guam
titles to slstain life. As canal dig
r-assurning that he had no machin-
ery-he would be a great success, be-
cause he would excavate canal with
the speed and efficiency of a small Pan.
anna canal steam shovel.
Beyond that we cannot go. Intelli
gence is not necessarily human at
] tribute. 1t has SO happened on this
earth that man has become the domi
nant race not because of his physical
powers, but because of his brains. Il
may well be that the biological condi
lions of Mars are such that a creaturf
very unhuman in appearance may have
gained the ascendency I'm the struggle
for existence on a planet that is fas
drying up."

HOW TO VOTE AND HOW THE VOTES WILL Be COUNTED

no mistakes will be made, and that
each candidate will get credit for
every vote cast for him, whether it
be first. or second choice vote. In
order to do this the inspectors must
decide while the ballot is before them
for which candidate the first choice
vote is cast and place the tally on the
left of his name, and the second choice
vote to the right and opposite said
candidates name, and under the can
didate's name for whom it was cast.
l want to say to the inspectors that
the law forbids the county canvassing
board to alter or vary the returns
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1916-05-27

There are three candidates to be
voted for and only one can be nomi-
mated. It is required to so tally the
vote as to show the number of first
choice votes secured by each candi-
date and for which other candidate
these voters cast their second choice
votes.
You will notice that the names of
the candidates are perpendicularly
arranged and in alphabetical order as
to surnames. They will appear this
way on the ballot and the tally book,
which will be sent to the inspectors

cast for A and no second choice is ex-
pressed, there should be one tally to

months attendance without absence,
and if there had not been an absence
in whole year at the end of it bet

He read It over carefully. looked
around at the open skylight, and went
to his window to test the way of the

a round-faced, curly haired laddie who
waved at him excitedly and called,

peared a face that might have posed

Peggie did not appear at that first
visit, but when he dined there, two
weeks later. shy-eyed and rather cool
in manner, Peggie sat next to her
mother, and she wore the gown the

cloud of dawn, with her slender white
throat above and gray ewes and chest

The Wind TRAVELLER
BY IzoLA FORESTER.

For the past month the studio direct
ly opposite the library windows had
been most interesting Evidently it
was occupied by a sculptor. She
caught glimpses OF clay models and
plaster casts on long bare shelves. 1t
looked cool and restful IN the room.
There were long, dark, green-mesh
curtains at the windows and a north
skylight overhead. Regarding it all
once more, Peggie turned and resumed
writing to her best chum at college,
Nan Carruthers.

new one is Diana because she seems
to carry a CULVER, but maybe it's a

Peggie went down quickly, without
irritation at the interruption. In
fact, Peggie hardly knew what irrita-
ton meant. She had been blest at
birth, the family said, with unfailing
good temper. The world was rose
color to her and infinitely good to
live in. She patted Jacks head low
ingly as he wedged by her on the
stairs, and tried to think just what
would be best to tell her mother 50

Jack squeezed by her again on her
way upstairs and smiled seraphically
with his hands behind him. He was
seven and utterly full of guile. In the
room below he worked leisurely, hap
PLY, constructing his balloon from a
nice, oblong cream sheet of paper COW
cred with Peggie's rather large hand

his wind traveller, from the broad bay
