WEIGHT OF THE SUN
HOW THE ASTRONOMERS SOLVE
THIS WONDERFUL PROBLEM
If You Will Multiply 33320 1 by Seven
Sextllllons You Will Get Approxi
mately the Number of Tons of Mat
ter Contained tin the Grent Orb
To weigh the sun moon earth or
any other body said Professor Edgar
L Larkiu the celebrated director of
Echo Mountain observatory to the
writer Is not a very dlfllcult matter
though to those Ignorant of astronomy
and mathematics It would perhaps ap
pear so Of course weight Is merely a
relative term for at the exact center
of gravity a body weighs nothing at
all Weight varies as we approach the
gravitation point or recede from it
and the expression as employed in ev
eryday life when we buy a pound of
steak or a ton of coals simply means
the weight used on the surface of the
earth because we live there
Now supposing you are desirous of
weighing the earth how would you go
about It Well if your education had
been neglected and you were In conse
quence Ignorant of mathematics you
might decide to cut up this terrestrial
globe of ours In blocks and bring each
block to the surface of the earth and
there weigh It on an ordinary pair of
scales The operation would doubtless
be a costly and fatiguing one and per
haps many unscientific landowners
might object to your carrying off their
property even though you explained
that it was merely as a temporary
loan But let us for arguments sake
suppose that you succeeded
Well having carried each block to
the surface and many of them would
of course have been brought from the j
very center of the earth one at a
time returning each to its proper place
before weighing the next and having
discovered that each block weighed a
ton then before your labors ended and
it weighed only an ounce then half an
ounce then a quarter rtnil finally pus
for about the fifty thousandth part oi
a second it weighed absolutely nothing
whatever not even so much as a soap
bubble which a baby might blow away
To realize this you must remember
that the earth does not travel round
the sun In an exact circJo so that the
distance from the sun is always vary
ing which of course alters the power
of attraction or in other words the
earths weight But in October and
April of each year the earfch is at an
exact average distance during the frac
tion of a second at which time as I
have said before it weighs nothing
How short a space of time this is may
be judged from the fact that the earth
moves at the rate of eighteen and a
half miles every second
But to weigh the earth in the manner
suggested would be a very costly mat
ter and so it is found to be more sat
isfactory to employ mathematics when
Ave shall arrive at the same results as
suming of course that we are correct
in our deductions And now as to the
most usual means employed in weigh
ing the sun Having satisfied ourselves
as to the true weight of the earth we
call that One or Unity That is
the basis on which we work
The next thing to do is to mount to
some elevation the top of a tower or
the roof of a house will answer our
purpose very well drop a stone and
find out how far it will fall in one sec
ond of time and what Its exact rate of
speed will be at the end of the first
second
This is not so easy as it sounds but
we can spare ourselves the fatigue of
calculating for after 300 years scien
tists have by means of the most deli
cate instruments arrived at the proved
conclusion that at the end of the first
second the stone will be at a distance
of 1G1 teet from the starting point and
will be then traveling at the rate of
322 feet per second This 322 is the
most important factor in our calcula
tions and has been called the astro
nomical scales for by means of it we
can weigh the sidereal universe
Now here said Professor Larkin
taking a paper from his desk Is an ar
ticle which I wrote some time ago on
the weighing of the sun and I do not
think you can do better than make an
extract from it which will save me
much needless repetition and he hand
ed me the manuscript from which I
quote the following paragraphs
Every object in the celestial vault
seen by the eye of man is a falling
body The earth is a body forever fall
ing toward the sun and the moon for
ever toward the earth If we can find
with what speed the earth is falling to
ward the sun at the end of our exact
second a clew is obtained that will lead
through a maze of figures to the mass
of the sun This must be true for it
has been discovered that If the earth
contained quadruple its present quan
tity of matter the stone would fall at
the rate of M4 feet per second And
Newton discovered that if the stone be
taken 3958 miles away from tbe earth
and dropped Its speed at the end of the
first second will be S03 fet But 338
miles from the earth is twice as far
from the center as Is the urface and
803 feet is one fourth of 322 Bnt 4 is
the square of 2 so gravity diminishes
as the square of the distance Increases
and directly as the matter Increases
The earth is 93000000 miles from
the sun and this divided by 3958
equals approximately 23496 There-
Jbt
the sun and it will be 23400 times far
ther from the center of the1 earth than
the surface is Now square this 23
490 Multiply 322 by 12 and the prod
uct will be 3SC4 the number of inches
In 322 feet Divide 3804 by the big
number squared and the quotient will
be 0000007 of an inch the speed with
which the stone will be falling at the
end of the first second
This is exceedingly slow but then
gravity exerted by the mass of the
earth 03000000 miles away Is natural
ly somewhat weak But the center of
the earth is that distance from the cen
ter of the sun and actually falls every
second toward the sun with a speed at
the end of a second having a velocity
of 2332S5 of an inch which Is some
thing less than one fourth of an inch
Divide 233285 by 0000007 and the
quotient is 333204 that Is to say there
are 333204 times more matter In the
un than In the earth If therefore
we multiply tills number by seven sex
tllllons we find how many tons the sun
weighs London Tit Bits

EASTMAN JOHNSON
Wa Once Invited to lie Court
Painter at The Ilnsue
Holland the country above all oth
ers to which art owes gratitude for the
creation and maintenance of sane tra
ditions of painting rendered a signal
service to American art in the middle
of the last century In the solid tech
nical training which it gave to East
man Johnson
The education of our earlier painters
had been various When the nineteenth
century was Hearing its middle period
there was a general exodus of students
to Dusseldorf and it was to pursue his
studies there that in 1S49 Eastman
Johnson took ship for Europe
The vessel on which Johnson sailed
bound for Antwerp was detained at
Flushing and it is to be regretted that
no written record lias been made of
the story which Johnson delighted to
tell and told so well of how he and
the last block of earth had been placed i hls comrade George Henry Hall who
on the scales you would have dealt
with rather less than seven sextilllons
This of course is a tremendous num
ber of tons for any moving mass to
weigh but there Is a time twice eacli
year when the earth actually weighs
nothing at all In October last this
earth gradually began to lose weight
survives him impatient young nil
grims desiring to plunge at once into
the promised land of art left the ves
sel and ignorant of the language and
customs of the country trudged on foot
along the river Scheldt toward their
goal
On their way each step nvealed to
like some hnse mnnt ilvlnr nf n mpir new worm eyes some cerau uneu
cline until at a certain moment of time I with romace and promise until after
J fore take a stone to the distance of
nightfall they found themselves before
the closed gates of the city of Ant
werp winch was then a walled town
obedient to the old custom of curfew
After an amusing parley in conflict
ing tongues the capital of Flemish art
received them kindly and hencefor
ward the art of Flanders and Holland
made so direct and sympathetic an ap
peal to Johnson that his sojourn in
Dusseldorf was comparatively brief
and its lessons had little or no visible
effect on his lifework
His earlier student stage passed he
settled at The Hague where his suc
cess was so marked that when after an
absence of long duration he determin
ed to return to the United States his
patriotic purpose was carried out in
the face of a temptation to accept the
formal proffer of the position of court
painter at The nagueScribners
The Will Fop the Deed
After Miss Lavinia Cobb who had
called in her nephew Frederic Cobb
attorney at law to draw her will had
made bequests to beloved relatives and
friends and to unknown individuals
whom she admired and had remem
bered her pet charities she began on
religious institutions
Now theres the First Baptist she
said enthusiastically I dont want
to leave anything to the church proper
because It Is the richest in town But
I want you to put down lo0 for Mr
Bicknell as a slight recognition of his
casual service to my soul And
But aunty began the lawyer neph
ew who had long been striving to
speak
Whats wrong now Freddy de
manded Miss Lavinia Isnt casual
service all right It Is precisely what
1 mean I am a member of Mr Mar
vins church and I shall remember
him handsomely later but Mr Bick
nells sermons have done me much
good and I have heard him well per
haps ten times in all so I think cas
ual service just expresses it But if
you think it doesnt or that it would
make trouble put down the legal equiv
alent
Its not the phraseology aunty but
your estate You havent sufficient
property to make so many and such
large gifts
Oh I know that as well as you do
Miss Lavinia said with gentle impa
tience I just want to show all my
friends how I feel toward them You
neednt look so so judicial Freddy
Its my will not yours Youths Com

A Problem at Cambridge
When Lord Rayleigh the British
scientist was a student at Cambridge
the examiners set among other prob
lems one which they based on an ar
ticle in a German mathematical period
ical supposed unlikely to have pene
trated to Cambridge Only two men
solved it Mr Stutt Lord Rayleigh
and another The examiners asked the
other man about this problem Oh
he said I take the mentioning
the name of the periodical and I was
very glad to find that thanks to an
article in the last number that prob
lem came out quite easily When Mr
Strutts turn came they expected a
similar answer but he astonished
them by replying The fact is gentle
men that I sometimes contribute tp
and I could not help feeling great
ly flattered that you should have
thought my little problem worthy of a
place In this examination He was
awarded the prize
