4 AOST people who add pounds that
M they don't want can do some
W. thing about It bat Mother
Earth cant. and she is putting on
weight every day.
The authority for this statement is
Or. Fletcher G.. Watson of the Harvard
College Observatory at Cambridge,
Massachusetts,. In his book Between
the Planets" which is soon TO come
off the press. he estimates that some
where between eight billion and nHe
billion meteors strike the earth's at
mosphere every day. Now and then "A
solid chunk from one Of these shoot
ing stars ploughs into the earths sur
face. but most Of them disintegrate
and fall on the world as "stardust."
The Harvard Professor. who SAYS
that astronomers and biologists now
have more or less definite methods OF
figuring such problems. estimates that
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-07-13

80 billion tons heavier than it was on
the day of Creation.
BY means of an amazingly delicate
machine. scientists have actually
weighed the earth by observing the
pull of gravity on metal weights. They
are more or less agreed that the whirl-
ing ball on which we live tips the scale
at six thousand million million million
tons To put that in to figures would
require the number followed by 81
ciphers.
Mathematicians who are not befud-
died by such strings Of figures would
say that the world weighs six sextillion
tons
Scientists just as able as Dr. Wat
