Broadstone, England, Sept. 16 (Pl The hollow murmur of the ocean tide" has drawn one of Great Britain's most famous surgeons from the operating room at the height Of his career back 10 the sea he has loved since his youth.
 Dr. James Shcrren, fellow or the Royal College Of Surgeons. has lock ed the door Of his consulting room and sailed as ships surgeon on the Cunard liner Ansonia.
 When Dr. Sherren, who is GO, quit his home in Dorset several weeks ago, his friends and colleagues thought he had merely gone to the sea for a holiday They found he had gone for the rest of his life.
 When he applied to the Cunard company for the position of ships surgeon and presented his crcden- tials the company officers accepted him without knowing that he was the noted Dr. Sherren.

in this thread measures the attraction.

it's volume. which is about 260, 900 .000,-

in tons proves to be about followed
H. 81 ciphers. Dividing the mass by
the volume. we obtain the number nf

the new values, the density proves to

to something like 2.500th of its
value This would correspond to about
a pound in ton.
Although the reasoning is compare.
lively simple. the determination of the
value is a very different matter, be-
cause of the excessively small force of
attraction between any two masses
which can be used. The balls must
be of very heavy material to obtain
large mass with very small distance
between the centers. They must be
as perfectly homogeneous and per-
fectly spherical as it is possible to
make them. In figure we have a
