TENDER
HEART.
And For That FUaton H . Will Never
Again Hunt Rabbit«.
Harry disapproves o f hunting.
With three other deluded mortals
he drove twelve miles into the coun­
try and tramped miserably a,“ thou­
sand miles* through cold and wet.
Finally, says a writer in the Chi­
cago News, a rabbit jum ped over •
log in fron t o f him, and he blazad
away.
“ Fo* a moment the air waa fu ll o f
fur— to fu ll that it seemed absolute­
ly foggy. Then it settled down on
the surrounding bushes and in lit­
tle tnfta on the ground, and I
rched for my rabbit. I thorough?»
covered the ground within a cir-
e o f thirty yards and never found
him.
“ I got back to the wagon about
noon. We could hot find any wood
dry enough to build a fire with and
make some coffee, so we ate cold
sandwiches. Then we held a council
o f war and decided that there was
no game in the country and that we
might as well hook np and go back
to tow n.'
"Jim m ie Pierce started for tho
horses, while I busied m yself getting
our .plunder into the wagon. Jim ­
mie was not used to horses. When
he had untied them from the tree
theiy began to 'act up’ and prance
around to get their blood into circu­

I rushed over and grabbed the bite
o f one o f the horses.
"M y foot slipped in the mud,
jerked the h on e’s heed and frigh t­
ened him so that he reared up on
his hind legs and took me with him.
H e waved me around through the
air about three times, and then his
fo o t slipped, and he fell and at the
asme tím e slapped me down into
the mud so hard that the noise o f
my fall made an echo.
“ Then the horse went right away
from there to his stable, twelve

C
WEIGHT OF THE EARTH.
K .w ton’a Quaes Turned Into Fast by
Recant Baiantifio 8 tudiaa.
It serves no useful purpose to
think o f the earth’s weight as so
many trillion tons. Scientists wil
tell you that the earth contains
259,393,000,000 cubic miles a
liquids and solids and that the tots
weight density o f the earth is 5,853.
follow ed by eighteen ciphers, or
5,853 trillion tons.
But all such figures are cumbrous
and inconceivable, and they conve; t
little meaning beyond that o f a
dense immensity.
It ia sim pler and m ore useful to
compare the denaity o f the earth,
or the ratio o f its weight, to that 0:1
• globe o f water o f the same size.
This can be beat understood by say
ing that if the earth were made o '
quartz and had the same density o :!
quartz at its surface it would be
about two and three-quarter times
as heavy as a gl6be o f water o f th<
same aise or if the earth were made
o f lead it would be m ore than eleven
times as heavy as the globe o f water
Its density being five and a half, the
earth is thus heavier than the quartz
globe would be, bnt not so heavy as
a globe o f lead.
»
It was Newton who first thought
o f weighing the earth. H e had al­
ready declared his theory o f gravi­
tation, that every particle o f mat­
ter in the universe attracts every
other particle with a force that de­
pends on their masses and on the
distances which separate them.
Since there is mutual attraction be­
tween particle and particle, it may
well be argued that the earth can­
not exert any pull upon its e lf; the
earth ia in a state o f equilibrium
and its w eight is therefore less than
that o f the proverbial feather.
But it is not the pull o f the earth
upon itself that is under considera­
tion. W eighing the earth consists o f
ascertaining the quantity o f m atter
which the earth contains, or, in
other words, determ ining its mass
o f density. This is done by com ­
paring it with the density o f water.
For exam ple, a cubic centim eter
o f water weighs one gram ; a cubic
centim eter o f silver weighs ten and
one-half grama. T herefore we say
that silver has ten and one-half
times the density o f water. New­
ton compared the earth and water
in the same way.
His com parison was a mere gness,
bnt a gness which has becom e cele­
brated from the fact that subse­
quent experim ents, made with the
moat delicate instruments, have all
tended toward its verification. New­
ton declared that onr globe was o f
greater density than if it consisted
entirely o f water. Taking the mat­
ter on the earth’s surface to be
about twice the weight o f water and
the m atter below the surface to be
about three or fou r or even five
times heavier, Newton guessed that
the earth was five or six times heav­
ier than a globe o f water o f the
same size.— New Y ork W orld.
Langast Flight by Birds.
Perhaps the longest straightaway
flight made by birds in their m igra­
tions is accom plished by some o f
the shore and water birds that nsst
in the islands o f Bering sea and
spend the winter at Hawaii and
Fanning island, 2,200 miles away.
Inasmuch as some o f these birds
live entirely on the shore and are
probably unable to rest on the sur­
face o f the water, it is thought that
they must accom plish the whole dis­
tance in a single flight. Y et, al­
though there are no landmarks fo r
them upon their long journey over
a waste o f waters, they make their
