IU Rigidity a About Equal to That of Qranite. Professor T. J. J. Soo of th United Stntc3 navy has invcstiimt cd the rigidity of tho earth by innlhomatical processes depending on the theory of urnvitation. no found that, oven if iluid, tho glob vorAH hsve a rigidity greater than that of wrought iron, owing to tho tremendous weight. Iho earths matter under this great pressure nets as a solid and so vibrates in an earthquake, and tho average rigid ity of the whole mass is nearly cipia to that of nickel steel. Nickel stcc is one of the strongest and hardest metals known. 1 he L'lobo is tliu proved to bo capable of withstand Jiijr enormous strain. Dr. Sco proves that tho rigidity of tho earth's crust is about equal to that of jmuiito, which is one-sixth tlia of steel, and that toward tho center the rigidity rapidly increases. At tho earth's center the imprisoned matter is at an enormously higl; tcmpurature, yet under the great pressure thero at work it is kep three times more rigid than tho nickel steel used in the armor of a battleship Tills method hns been applied also to the other planets. It turns out that tho rigidity of Venus creator than that of platinum and probably about identical with that of wrought iron. Tho rigidity of Mars is about equal to that of gold, whilo tho rigidity of Mercury, tho moon and other satellites is about equal to that of glass. The avcrago rigidity of the great planets -Jupl tcr, Saturn, Franus and Xuntum. lies between eighteen ami three times that of nickel steel. The great rigidity of tlitMU bodies is duo to tho great pressure acting throughout such large masses. In tho case of tho sun the result is still more extreme. The avcrago rigidity of all tho sun's layers is over 2,000 times that or nickel steel. This result shows tho elTost of cravitv in compressing and hard cning a muss even when it is self luminous ami at enormously mgii temperature. ( liicago ows. First Onlloon Ascent. Tho first publie ascent by tho Montgoirter balloon was made June 5, 17HII. It was a spherical bag, consisting of pieces of linen but toned together, suspended from cross poles. A lire was kindled un der it. and the llamas were foil with bundles of chopped straw. Tho loose bag flllrd out, assumed graceful form and in a short time was completely distended. At a glv en signal the stays were slipped, nml the balloon instantly ascend tly ascended. Its velocity accelerated until It reached some height, then became uniform ami carried It to an eleva tion of more than a mile. For ten minutes it remained HiiHpomlcd.thcu fell gently in a vineyard nearly two miles distant from tho place of it aitconslon. Tho first adventurers to make an ascent in a balloon wore M. Pilatro do Itozier and the Mar quis I A rln ndes. In the basket of a balloon I hoy on Nov. 21, 1783, roso to a height of nlioiit 3,000 feet Th Domoitlo Problem.

The window was closed, and a inimltor of Hie were busy bumping their heads agaiu4 tho panes in an endeavor to ocapo to tho outside. Thov attracted lmby's attention, who called out to 1110 to look at them, at tho muiio time fay ing, 'Mick, mick, mick.' Just then Hridget turned to speak to tho baby and heard thee words.

It is iden tical with t'arib. many of the Cn- rib, who formerly Nourished in the Wet Indies, having boon consum- rs of human lloh.

Tho Word "Impertinent." Orik'iiudlv the word "imperti nent" signified merely "not belong ing to." When Wyolife said that there were many men in this world who were "impertinent to earthly lords" he did not mean that they were "cheekv," but merely that they had no masiers. Then, as used by Shakespeare, "impertinent" came to mean "irrelevant." Just ?00 years ago it was defined as signify ing "absurd, silly, Ul." The Pennington 37.S Alder Street.

"IIo oMaincd such control over Ids discom'lture," writes Mrs. Shalcr, "that when suffering from a pain in his head ho could concen trato his mind so perfectly on a chosen subject that tho pain was treated as if it did not exist. Hy sheer forco of will ho would also ovcrcomo sleeplessness, caused by rheumatic attacks. 'That these,' ho says, 'were not imaginary pains was proved by the glowing redness which wos scon the next morning on tho toes of my left foot.' " That pitiful account which John sou uives of Pone's physical condi tion rests upon tho authority of an old servant of Lord Oxford, who know him after middle age. "IIo was then so weak as to stand in par pctual need of attendance. IIo was extremely sensitive to cold, so that ho woro a kind of fur doublet under a shirt of coarse, warm linen, with fine sleeves.
