GARRETT P. SERVISS EXPLAINS
EARTHS LOSS OF WEIGHT
Dissipation of Substance Very Slight, as Dust
and Smoke Return in Some Form.

; about 20 degrees Fahrenheit, every
twelve cubic feet of air weigh a
pound. And, in its due proper
to make up the aggregate weight
of the earth, just az truly as does
the 1880 pounds weight Of the
same quantity twelve cubic feet
of granite. But. cur1ously enough,
many imagine that nothing that
floats in the air contributes any
thing to the weight Of the earth.
The same persons can be per-
suaded to believe that q goldfish
floating in a globe Of water adds
nothing to the total weight, be-
cause, forsooth "the buoyancy of
the water balances the weight of
the fish," They forget the law OF
action and reaction.
Light Pressure ?
The statement that nothing
can go outside the earth's gravity"
is, of course, erroneous. Anything
can escape from the earth BY NOV
ing with sufficient velocity. The
required velocity depends upon
the intensity Of gravity at the
earth's surface. This lis such that
a speed of about seven miles per
second would set free any pro3ec-
tile in the sense that gravity could
never bring 1t back again to the
earth.
Now, it appears that hydrogen
in the gaseous form may escape
from the earth by virtue Of the
inherent maximum speed Of vibra-
ton of it's molecules, which amounts
to considerably more than seven
miles per second So, it is rea-
sonable. to conclude that there may
be a constant escape of certain
quantity of hydrogen, occurring
at the bounding surface Of the
atmosphere. This would cause
some decrease OF the aggregate
weight OF thel earth.
Then. it has been shown that
the radiant energy that emanates
from the sun-illumined earth must
reject minute particles floating
around It. This force Of repul-
sion il generally called Tight pres

festation Is connected with power.
fully radiant bodies like the sun,
vet In a slight degree the same
force must act around any body
that radiates energy into surround
ing space. In this case the ulti-
mate effects of reaction would be
different. So, we may infer that
the earth loses some weight, prob
ably an almost infinitesimal guam
tity, by driving off into surround
ing space finely divided matter
originating from the superpulveri
zation of some Of its constituent
materials.
But here we are getting some

difference of specific gravity be-
teen the smoke and kthe air at

as the smoke remains in the air
