Nothing astonishes the young student of the honven more than the amfidence- with which astronomers claim to have not

only measured but weighed the calenta hodies (writes John Phio, in the. Now York World), and this acquires à pasuliaz - interest at the present time because it is- reported that the United States Government is about to send out an expedition whose object it will be to make such observations. As will lead to more accurate determination of the weight of the earth, one of the most important stations being the Pyramida of Egypt, those mysterious structures which for 40 centurios have looked down upon tho'changing fortunee of humanity.

It is obvious that if wo know the size- of the earth and its density it would be the eastest thing in the world to calcuate ite waight. Now, the dimensione of the earth have beon moertained with great accuracy, Among other reasons for the attention which has been devoted to this eabjet reing the fast that the circumference of the earth is the basis for the length of the French standard of measures, the matre, There fore, if we know the density of nur globe, . tlust is to any the comparative weights of aw

of water, the problem would be one of simple arithreatical calculation. The sye rage density of the earth at the surface is generally estimated to be about three times that of water, but as the heaviar materials- bave no doubt sank towards the centre, and the tremendous compression caused by 4000 miles of material must have condensed a large portion of the substance of the globe and made it heavier, we might expect the

average density of the whole to be much greater, and such indeed

found to be the fact. The problems then is to determine this dounity.

The earliest attempt to do this was made by two french scientists who tried to deter mine the comparative influences of the earth and of the Porurian mountain, Chimborazo,
