Background of Case
The legal struggle grew out of a
demonstration Of hundreds Of un-
employed workers, most Of them
Negroes, in this Mississippi-Ohio
river city on April 9, 1887,
Thousands Of jobless had been
pressed into emergency service by
the federal government to save
Cairo and other cities from deXas=

river valley in that year.
The workers labored long hours,
had little to eat, slept along levees,
and were lauded for their heroic
service.
Cairo was saved, but the unem-
ployed we're forgotten.

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 ir the
case of the earth, by comparing the
attraction which this globe exerts
upon some body on it's surface with
the attraction exerted upon the same
body by 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 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 it's 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

But there were paper napkins Chose
were Lynn's suggestion).
The Maharanee summoned the
Keeper of the Jewels, selected a
cluster of the most famous diamonds
from the Kadur collection, and
pinned it artfully on Lynn's black
silk. Lynn looked stunning in en-
broidered black silk. 1t showed off
her eyes and her golden hair. Ex-
citement made her parted lips so
kissable that the Maharanee had
qualms of conscience.
Darling, my nephew Rundhia is
a bad boy! Be CAREFUL"
Lynn laughed. The prospect of
annoying Aunty was delicious. Aunty
would be scandalized by high links
in palace. Aunty was one of those
people who think that palace life
should be like one endless corona
ton ceremony in Westminster Alb
hey. She could count on Aunty to
keep Rundhia within bounds.
The first arrival was Rundhia, in
dinner jacket and turban Of cloth of
silver, critical of the cocktails; he
introduced ingredients learned in
Europe. He watched Lynn. He
made apparently random remarks
to discover her system, in case she
had one.
"Miss Harding, you look innocent,
gay and very beautiful. But I mis-
trust you. Your emotions seem to
me to be too honest. You will go
home and laugh at us ALL"

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 it's re-
suits taken, so as to be as nearly
accurate as possible. 1t is plain that
the attraction of the large globes on
the small ball is to the attraction of
the earth upon the small balls-i. 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, 000, ZOO, 000, 900, 00O.-

the will to do it can't make an In
dian palace, dusty with tradition,
lend itself to what the Maharanee
kept insisting was a picnic. She

almost rose from his hair with hor-
TOR, she dismissed him and took

something between bean-feast and

Chinese lanterns and an utter drunk

was loaded with silver and gold.
