FORCE OF GRAVITY. How It Would Affect Man's Weight on the Celestial Bodies. If the planet Man be really Inhab ited the people who lire there must bo an exceedingly agile race. The av erage weight of a man iu about 140 pounds, but the force of gravity on Mars Is so much less than on I be earth that the 140 pound man would weigh only fifty-three pounds If he were transported thither. With such light weight, and still retaining the same strength, an Individual would be able to ran with the speed of an express train, go . skipping over ten foot walls and do various other ex traordinary things. On the moon a man would be even lighter. But on the sun our 140 pounder would have his troubles. Instead of being an airy individual he would weigh In the neighborhood of a ton , and three-quarters. He would prob ably have the greatest difficulty In raising bis band, for that member would weigh about 300 pounds. According to scientific computation, a man who on earth weighs 140 pounds would on the other celestial bodies weigh as follows: The moon, 23 pounds; Mars, 53 pounds; Venus, 114 pounds; Mercury, 110 pounds; Neptune, 123 pounds; Uranus, 127 pounds; Saturn, 105 pounds; Jupiter, 371 pounds, and the sun. 3.871 pounds.

The pause was fatal to his self posses sion, and he called out in tones of ter ror, "Men. men, I am going I am go ing." But he still held on for a little, and it was not till he had shrieked many times "I am going" that he did ? fall headlong. nis comrades, having thus been warned, moved the boat out of the way sol that the poor fellow came sheer down into the deep water. Mighty was me piungo. but at length be rose to the surface, when of course he was Instantly caught hold of and dragged Into the boat. After many gasps and much spluttering of sea water from his mouth his only remark was: "Eh, men. this Is a sad story. I have lost my snuffbox.,,-"Sketches and Tales ' of Shetland."

Pall Mall Ga zette. Real Laziness. The Little Russians those of the south nrp said to be cleverer than the Russians of the north, but they are lazy Just how lazy may be gathered from this quotation from Mr. Maurice Baring's book, "Russian Essays and Stories:" "The Little Russian," said a Little Russian gentleman to me, "is so lazy that he will say to his wife,.
