PEMBERTON NEWS

The Pemberton Aces practiced last Saturday and Coach Spillane likes the poppy way the boys are performing. With Donnelly and Shea picking up grounders in mid- season form. And Duane stopping them at first. The fielding seems to be excellent. Murphy and Spill lane, the pitchers look good and al- though Murphy has an ailing arm he expects to have a good season. Spillane curves are cutting the cor IneEs and he is in rare form. Bunts Wrenn's long clouts stole the show and his fielding around the keystone sack starred.

ELKS' BOWLING CHATTER

As we go into the final week of ths regular bowling season, we find a hot and merry chase for honors in both leagues. The matches this week will be watched with great in terest as the present leaders will be trying to hold on to the slender leads which they now hold.
 Billy Cunningham Milkmen handed Billy Cavanaugh's Interna- ticnals a stinging four point defeat last week and in so doing took com- mand of the National loop by a margin of three games over Har- vey Pelletier's Plumbers, who fell victims to Paul Lux's Clockmakers who are making a belated drive for honors.
 Warren Ccoke's Watchmakers still continue to hold the pole in the American league, but are bit- terly pressed by Chris Harmon's Hil- lies and Mike O'Brien's Wrecking Crew who are tied for second place.
 Connie Larson's NorSemen prac- tically killed the hopes of Hal Had ley's Shoemen's hopes of getting in the playoffs with a stinging three point defeat.
 Dan Sullivan's Millwrights had little difficulty in taking three games from Jack Reilly's Steamfitters.

Old Experiment Measures Weight Of Earth

The measuring Of the mass or
weight of the earth is a familiar
astronomical problem. Other bod
les are weighed by measuring the
attraction of the earth upon them;
the same end is accomplished in the
case of the earth, by comparing the
attraction which this globe exerts
upon some body on its surface with
the attraction exerted upon the same
body by a known mass at known
distance.
There have been several methods
tried to accomplish this, the simplest
of which is that Of observing the de-
Walton from the vertical of a plumb
line near an isolated mountain. The
volume of the mountain must first
be found, of course, by accurate
survey, and its density calculated
from the geological structure and
density of its component rocks. But
this plan, though simple, is not near
ly as accurate in result as that Of
computation by means of the tor
sion balance. This method is known
to astronomers as the "Cavandish
experiment, from the scientist who
first applied it in 1889.
/ Cavendish's methods consists of
measuring very accurately the at
traction exerted BY two large

spheres Of metal on two much
smaller metal balls. Two globes Of
lead are attached to the extremi-
ties of large horizontal bar, NOV
able, horizontally, upon a center.
Above this center a light horizontal
rod, having on its ends two very
small balls of lead, is supported by a
fine wire. When the rod bearing
the small balls is in equilibrium, the
ball having the globes Of lead is
moved until these globes are brought
nearly in contact with the small
balls. The force of their attraction
then tends to draw the small rod
from its position Of equilibrium, and
the amount of torsion thus produced
is measured carefully.
This experiment is repeated sew
eral times, and the average of its re-
suits taken, so as to be as nearly
accurate as possible. It is plain that
the attraction of the large globes on
the small ball is to the attraction of
the earth upon the small balls. e.,
their weight-as the mass of the
large balls is to the mass Of the
earth.
The result of these experiments has
given the weight of the earth approx
imately as 5000, 900, 900, 900, 900, 000.-
600 tons.

from the enormous temple; and the
temple was a citadel of mystery
that doomed against Indian night.
There was stiffness that seemed
like the womb of music, into which
