PITTSBURGH. - Eight hundred
pounds of stamps were carted from

Zoo Keepers Devise New Type
Scale for Weighing Gorilla

NEW YORK. - Time was when
keepers at the New York Geological
park had no trouble weighing
Makoko, a young male gorilla.
Keeper Jim Reilly would take
Makoko on his shoulders and step
on the scales. Then Reilly's weight
was subtracted.
Reilly decided in 1945, with
Makoko getting bigger, that his
own health came first. Thereafter
they guessed Makoko's weight.
Now, the keepers have devised a
new method. They lure the gorilla
from n cage to another in the
process of which he has to step on
a scale platform.
Makoko weighs $40 pounds.

World Could End Any
Time, Experts Say

PHILADELPHIA. - Scientists al
the Fels planetarium of the Frank
lin institute have illustrated ways
by which the world might come to
an end.
The scientists coolly admit that
the end of the world, due to some un-
foreseen cataclysm, might happen
at any moment.
Our EARTH" they say, sis deli
cately balanced between the too hot
and the too cold, the too dry and
too wet, for life of the kind we
know"
II something should happen to up
set the existing conditions most of
the higher life on earth would come
to an end, they add.
The astronomers point out that
other suns have suddenly burst into
greatly intensified heat, and they
assert it is not impossible that the
earth's u might also do it some
day.
They also see no reason for ruling
out the possibility of another Ice
Age caused by a great volcanic erup-
ton, because in the history of the
world it has happened five times.
They also show how the moon
might cause great tidal waves to
sweep the continents from shore to
shore for hundreds of years-with
the gravitational pull of the moon
opening up gaping riffs in the earth's
crust, followed by gigantic explo-
sions as the sea invades the pools
of molten lava.
The astronomers hope most Of the
possibilities for an end of the world
are remote. But they insist that it
is possible at any moment for a
body as large as the earth or larger
to hurtle through space and shatter
our planet to bits.
