Tbe earth weighs 1*000.000.000, 000,000.000,000,000 pounds. In a strict sense of the word the earth has no weight at all, because the weight ia really tbe pull of tba earth Itself on any other -body. 'And as the earth ka thought to be pulling on all porta of Itself equally In gll directions, the net result Is, of course, no pall at all. Bat if a large pair of scales be fixed at some point cH the earth's surface, and If the earth could be brought up bit by bit. cubic foot by cubic foot, weighed and then returned to its place, it 000 id be weighed. And (be result would be as given. However, when wa talk of tbe weight of the earth, wo really mean Its mass. The possibility of finding the mase of the earth is due to Newton. For bo ^taught that bodies pulled each othet with foroe depending solely up on their mass and their distance apart He showed the way, and ten ydars after his death tha first real weighing experimtK was made, A succession of experiments resulted in the density of the earth being deter mined sit 4 1-2. Then came the in vettigat&ns at ktttrhotl and Caven dish, and finally those of Prof. Boy a, who found that tba earth was 6.621 times tba density of water. The weight bf a cubic foot of water ia about AO 1-2 pounds. And the aver age weight of a cubic foot of earth la about WO pounds, or about flvr> and a baft times as much as the cublr foot of water. But this is quit* Imaginary, for specimens of the earth can bo obtained only by mere scratches upon its surfaee. ft has been shown by the pendnlqm that tbe earth's pull varies at different points 00 its surface. By timing the same pendulum at different parts of the sorfac* H can he found out bow the weight varies from point to point Trick That Texas Hogs Know. ? tew days ago two prominent clt isens of Whitney, Major J. K. Dunn and Matt McQown, visited a larye plum orchard situated lour miles from town with Ae Idea of gathering a basketful of the fruit. Upon arriving at the orchard they noticxtf that the, bark of the trees waa limited and torn a foot or more from tbe ground. As all tbe trees aeemad to be In this condition they began to wonder whet could haw been the cause.
