THEIR ESTIMATES TOO LOW
Their Figures Concerning the
Weight of Crowds.

Interesting experiments were made
some time ago at Harvard university
which seem to demonstrate that en-
gineers usually underestimate the
maximum loading caused by dense
crowds on bridges, floors and plat
forms. Forty men averaging 163
pounds in weight placed in box six
feet square caused an average pres
sure of 1S1 pounds to the square foot
on the floor.
An engineer has estimated the
weight per square foot of the densest
crowds on the New York elevated rail-
ways at only 45 pounds, but since the
Harvard experiments the opinion has
been expressed that the maximum
loading on the elevated cars and plat
forms may be nearer 1S1 than 40
pounds. This applies to other close
packed crowds.

The excellence of the big Lick tele-
scope, and the steadiness of the air
when the conditions are good on
Mount Hamilton, are attested by the
statement of one authority that double
stars, whose components are nearly
equal in brightness, can be measured
if the distance between them exceeds
one-tenth of a second of arc. What
this means in accuracy of definition
may be understood by remembering
the fact that one-tenth of a second is
equal to the apparent diameter of an
ordinary pin, viewed by the naked eye
at a distance of two miles.
