Figure 3. Apparatus with which DIR.
Paul Heyl Of the United States Bureau
OF Standards predetermined the con-
slant Of gravitatiOn. The attraction
between each steel cylinder and plati.
mum ball amounted to AZ billiOnths OF
an ounce. On this value depend our
values of the mass and density OF the
earth and the heavenly bodies.
Is this determination which interests
us now, as our interest in the subject
has been revived by a new and more
accurate determination Of these guam
titles by DIR. Paul Heyl of the United
States Bureau of Standards at Wash
ington. The first determination of the
mass of the earth Of much value was
made by the English astronomer Mas
kelyne in 1774. Since that time sew
eral astronomers and physicists have
predetermined the value.
The basis for such determination Is
Newton's lav of gravitation, which
states that every particle of matter
in the universe attracts every other
particle with force which is equal
to a constant multiplied success by
the masses of the particles and divided
by the square of the distance between
them. He also proved that bodies in
the form Of spheres attracted as II all
their mass was at the center. Thus,
suppose we have two spheres repre-
sented in figure 2 as A and B. and that
their masses are also A and b; then
the force of the attraction between
them (F) is given by the equation
given where G Is the constant. Trans
posing, we can express G In terms or
the other quantities. We can. OF
course. measure the mass of each ball
and the distance CD between them.
We can also measure the force with
which one pulls the other, and then
we know everything in the equation,
which gives G..
After the value of the constant OF
gravitation 60 has been determined,
the mass CT the earth can be deter

formal exercises will be conducted
with ceremonies at the Tomb of the D.,

The first unit to go overseas was the
9th Engineer Regiment, which arrived
in France December 20, 1917. During
the World War the division had the.

THE STARRY SKIES IN JULY
SHOWING POSITIONS OF THE
PLANETS AND THE PONS.
WINNECKE COMET.

The most brilliant of the planets,
Venus is the most conspicuous of the
evening stars. It is farthest east OF
the sun on July 2, but it's position is
less favorable than last month. After
July it will have a crescent phase.
On July just half of it's disc can be
seen. The planet does not reach Its
greatest brightness until next month,
but the slight increase In brightness
is more than counteracted by the less
favorable position. AS seen from
Pr 'ladelphia. the planet sets at 1906
pm. July ] and at 8:51 July 81. Next
month a. will set before 8 pm, and SC
1t will not be possible to mark it's posi-
ton on the chart next month. The
positions on July ] and on July 81 are
marked on the map, but the planet is
recognized at once by its lrilliance.
Still closer to the horizon than Venus
Is Mars. This planet is now quitv in
conspicuous and is now nearly at its
faintest for the reason of it's great dis
lance from the earth and also because
it is close to the horizon. This is also
the last month in which the position
of Mars can be marked on the map
Venus p..sses Regulus. the star at A,
July 6, and Mars passes it July %.
Saturn is in Scorpius in the position
marked on tn; map. 1t is as bright
as a bright star, but not comparable
with Venus. 1t is now in it's best posi-
ton for early evening observation this
year. AS it moves among the stars it
always is near the ecliptic. and is now
near e part Of the ecliptic which is
farthest south. and SO is in the least
favorable part for the northern OBJ
servers, but in good position for OBJ
servers in the Southern Hemisphere.
The moon passes over it on July 10.
but unfortunately the event occurs in
our daytime. Jupiter rises a little be:
fore midnight at the first of the month
and about two hours earlier at the end
of the month. This planet is very
bright.
The Pons-Winnecke comet is still
near it's greatest brightness. but is d
little too faint to be seen with the
naked eye. 1t moves down to the west
of II bright star Fomalhaut. along
the line from Epsilon to Delta of Piscis
Australis, and passes Fomalhaut July

The field of astronomy is very broad,

which. of course, Is an inAnitesimal
part of the whole. There are many
facts about the earth which are
learned from astronomical observation.
There are al-o many things about the
earth which astronomers have been
so anxious to know that they have
been pioneers in the Investigations.
We wish to know the distances and
diameters of the heavenly bodies, but
before we can express them in miles
we must know the size and shape OF
the earth. We like to know the masses
and destinies of the heavenly bodies,
but before we can do so we must
know these facts about the earth. 1t

 The shipment was the largest in the history of the mine ,ex- ceeding by 23 tons a shipment made last month, which also topped all previous records for the property. The mill is working at full capacity; turning out over 60 tons of concentrates daily.
 Late reports from the mine indicate that the fine ore body encountered on the No. 4 lev el some days ago, is holding up in good shape under con- tinued development and gives every promise of providing a splendid ore reserve for future operations.

HIGH DUNWELL GOLD VALUES CREATE
 WIDE INTEREST

The unexpectedly high gold values developing at the Dun- we'll are creating much inter- est in local as we'll a. outside mining circles. Although ordi- nary sampling prior to the in- stallation of the mill had fail ed to reveal more than noni- nal average gold values, mill operations have yielded table concentrates running up to 16 oz. gold per ton, with an av- craze of AZ oz. In fact the gold values in the concentrates is said to be almost equal both the silver and lead values con- tained. As a result of this un- expected but highly pleasing development the mill is au- thoritatively stated to be yield ing from $500 to $500 per day profit from a daily reduction of 15 to 20 tons of concen- trates.
