A QUEER CALCULATION
Tho
Power That Would Bo Required
to Move the Earth
Statisticians sometimes have queer
Ideas One of them amused himself
by calculating how much energy water
and coal It would take to move the
earth a foot supposing that It was sub
jected throughout Its mass to a force
equivalent to terrestrial gravitation
This is a gratuitous supposition for In
spite of its enormous mass the earth
weighs nothing
Starting with the fact that the
earths mass Is about 0100
tons our statistician
calculates that we should require 70
000000000 years for a 10000 horse
power engine to move our globe a foot
The boiler that should feed this engine
would vaporize a quantity of water
that would cover the wholo face of the
globe with a layer 300 feet deep The
vaporization of this water would re
quire 4000 million million tons of coal
This coal carried in cars holding ten
tons each and having a total length of
thirty feet would require 400 million
million cars which would reach S0
000000 times around the earth This
train moving at the rate of forty
miles an hour would take more than
5000000 years to travel Its own
length It would require for storage a
shed that would cover 1000 times the
area of Europe
If we realize that this fantastically
huge amount of energy is nothing at
all compared with what the earth pos
sesses In virtue of its rotation about its
axis its revolution about the sun and
its translation in space with the solar
system of which the earth is but an
Infinitesimal part of the universe we
may get some idea of the importance
of man in the universe and estimate
his incommensurable pride at its just
value
A PIQUED BONIFACE
Meilhac and a Costly Dish That He
Did Not Eat
Among
geniuses
Meilhac
the most absentminded of
was the French composer
On the occasion of the first
presentation of one of his operas Meil
hac in evening dress entered a fash
ionable restaurant and threw himself
down at a table thinking earnestly
about the event of the evening and
nothing else
A waiter brought him a menu Meil
hac a man of very simple tastes in
the matter of food abstractedly Indi
cated with his finger the first dish on
the bill that his eye had- struck Now
It chanced that this was the most elab
orate and costly dish on tho bill and
when the waiter went to the kitchen
with the order there was in conse
quence great commotion there The
proprietor himself was summoned and
he and the principal chef devoted them
selves to the preparation of the famous
dish One man was sent for this
choice Ingredient and another for an
other Meanwhile Meilhac waited ab
sorbed
At last the dish was brought with a
great flourish and the proprietor with
a proud smile stood not far away to
observe the result When it was de
posited in front of him Meilhac regard
ed the dish with an expression of mel
ancholy interest
Did I order that he asked
Certainly M Meilhac
Do you like it
Yes yes monsieur but
Then kindly take it away and eat it
yourself ordered Meilhac and bring
me two fried eggs Chicago Record

He ruined himself and had to leave his

In Coils of a Python
Mr Cockliu walking In thick grass
near the Marico river Bechuanaland
was thrown to the ground by a four
teen foot python which coiled around
his legs and then tried to drag him to
a tree near by so that by coiling its
tail around the trunk it might proceed
to crush him to death
When within two yards of the tree
Mr Cocklin got a hand free and shot
the snake which was so heavy that it
needed three men to lift it East Lon-

Professor when the chapel bell was
ringing I was engaged in prayer and
did not hear it
Youre not excused responded
John with contempt in his eye and

Then calling back the other man
who -was about at the door on his way
out of the room he said to him
Whats your excuse
I havent any sir
Youre excused

Bascom subsequently described as a

eloquence said I wish that I had

Water is tho king of beverages It is

Water is the basis of all other bever

treatment
Pure water is the oue beverage
which has stood the test of science and
come down to us unscathed through
continuous use for countless ages It
is natures chiefest blessing to man
Other beverages undergo many changes
with time Each age brings them forth
