THE STAGE DOOR GUARDIAN.

( Rigid in His Guardianship.
! Writing of 'the man who guards the
Stage Door. in the Theatre Magazine,
Wells Hawks, says:
1T has come to be the custom that
the stage doorkeeper is an old man.
He is generally an old man with a
history. He Is either dependent over
4 some melancholy fact that if the tide
had turned another way he might
have been successful manager, or
he Is full Of "reminiscences of the old
day of which he loves to talk. Day
and night throughout the season he
guards his post, knowing and admit.

bers Of the company and those other
persons he is absolutely sure have
a right to enter there. He is gener-
ally silent and has no argument. II

there are no words-he simply shuts
the door in ones face. Stage door
keepers are quick to learn the faces
o. the members Of company playing
at the theatres where they guard the
entrance to the stage. The star Is
treated with greatest courtesy-door
held open and frequently hat in hand.
It is traditional perquisite for the
stage doorkeeper to receive a gener-
Gus gift from the exalted parsonage
on the last, night of the engagement,
and there is no stage doorkeeper who
does not begin to pave TIE way for
it from the time of the first arrival
of the star to the last night of the
week, or the run, as the case may
be.
Few players ever omit this gift to
the man who guards the door. It is
he who keeps back that onslaught Of
youthful admirers who linger about
the stage door for she who seems so
beautiful in the limelight's glare, so
radiant meath the touch of rouge and
penciled cosmetic.

Too Much Like Work.

The happy mother of seven
months-old baby, whose chief business
seems to be making a noise in the
world, was paying her sister visit,
and the other evening young Master
Harry, aged seven years, was dele
gated to care for the baby while his
elders were at dinner. So he wheel
ed it back and forth, forth and back,
the length of the library, giving vent
to his sentiments by singing, much to
the amusement of the family;
Gee whiz! I'm glad I'm free.

How the Earth le weiuhed.

The world is to be weighed once
more. 1t has been weighed before, but
50 long ago that modern scientists are
not satisfied with the accuracy OF
the figures, and so the work will be
done again. Most interesting project
will be this expedition to Egypt to de-
termine the earth's weight. The mere
idea sounds chimerical, and yet it is
one of the simplest of scientific propo-
sitions. First, the weight Of the pyr-
amid will be ascertained, and then the
weight of the earth estimated from
its proportionate size. More than half
century ago pendulums we're swung,
under the direction of the famous
astronomer, Airy, at the top and bot
tom of a coal pit in England. a COM
parison Of their times Of swing show
ed how heavy the whole earth was,
compared with the oNtermost thin
shell Of q thickness equal to the depth
Of the pit. AS biologists were able to
give fair estimate Of the weight OF
this shell Of surface Poek, to calcu-
late the weight Of the entire world be-
came mere matter Of multiplication.
AS Airy used this thin shell of known
thickness as basis for getting at the
weight Of the world, so the scientists
who will be selected by the Survey
Department to 60 to Egypt will make
use Of the great pyramid as an inter-
mediary. 1t is argued that their esti-
mats Of the weight OF the earth will
be much more accurate than Airy's
because tho weight Of the pyramid
can be mere easily estimated than that
Of the thin shell used by Airy. In
the forthcoming project the pendu-
luns will be swung at the apex of the
pyramid and In the chambers at it's
center and base.
But what part will the pendulums
play in the. project, and how can the
weight of the pyramid be determined
by the swinging of a pendulum? Sim
ply by the power of a large or small
body exerting its power Of attracting.
Without going into unnecessary fig
ures 1t may be explained that the
pull one body exercises over another
Is in proportion to It's size. With this
principle laid down the reason for the
swinging of the pendulum from the
pyramid as first step to the weighing
Of the world can be seen at once. From
the force exerted by the pyramid in
pulling the swinging pendulum from
its natural course the weight Of the
pyramid can be estimated. With the
weight of the pyramid as a basis the
scientists will only have to figure in
this way.
The number Of cubic miles In the
earth is about 259,SOO, 100000; each cu-
bic mile contains lat, 20O, 100000 cubic
feet; and each cubic foot upon the av-
erage whatever the weight estimated
from the experiment at the pyramids.
The combination Of figures, it will be
seen, presents no great dificulty when
once the preliminary stage Of the pro-
ject is passed.
