No. '8. Approximately 1,108,001
495,617.408,001 of the man's weight
on the ground. The difference in
the weight of an object at various
distances from the center of the
earth varies inversely in proportion
to the difference in the squares of
the distances. Counting the radius
of the earth 4,000 miles, or 21,120,
000 feet, the square of this distance
is 446,0i4,000,000. The square of
the radiua, plus 30 feet, ia 446.055,
667,200,900. Thus the weight of a
man on the second story of a build
ing thirty feet from the ground
would be 4.460,S44,0O0,00O-4,460,556,-672,009
of his weight on the ground.
Therefore, a man who weighs 160
pounds on the ground would weigh
only 159 and 4, 457,529,1 50,569-4,460.-566,672.009
lbs. There is some differ
ence. Balance scales would not ahow
a variation even in a great differ
ence because the scales would be af
fected the same as the man. Never
theless, the farther an object is from
the center of the earth the less the
pull towards the earth's center.
No. 9. The temperature on the
clinical (doctor's) thermometer is
registered according to Fahrenhe't
scale. Ordinarily the clinical ther
mometer is to reister only a tem
perature ranging between 95 and
115 degrees. It is graduated to lie
read to a small fraction of a degree.
No. 10. Ice tea will not dissolve
ns much sugar per unit volume as
will water at the same temperature.
The solution of water and sugar
means that the molecules of sugar
I uve separated from each other and
are taken in between the molecules
of water. In the tea the spaces be
tween the molecules are partly filled
with the molecules of the substance
which makes the tea (hence the col
or!. Consequently, there is not so
much room for sugar. A pail full
of coarse stones having had gravels
poured in between will not take in
as much sand as it would had the
gravels been kept out. i
No. II. Taper is a thin flexible
sheet of compacted vegetable fiber.
The gray material with which the
wasp builds the nest is genuine pa-'
per. An ingenious boy ran make pa
per by grinding a piece of spruce or
poplar on a wet grindstone until a
handful of fiber has been collected
Boil this fiber for two or three hours.
IMiund it with a hammer until it ia
fine, then throw a little of it Into a
kettle of hot water and let it settle
until the floating fiber forms a film
The films may he lifted off by means ,
of a sieve or piece of wire cloth. ,
Place the film between two pieces of
blotting paper and run it thru t
ringer. You should then have a
piece of coarse paper. It has been
found that almost any vegetable
fiber, made fine enough, will felt and
form goixl paper. Cotton, jute,
hemp, flax, Spanish esparto grass,
straw, and various woods are used.
Old rags make good paper.
No. 12. (a) Water does not boil at
the same temperature at all elevations.
The lighter the air pressure, the low
er the temperature at which water
boils. Consequently on high moun
tains where the air pressure is light
water boils at a low temperature.
On some such mountains meat can
not be rooked done by boiling be
cause it cannot lie made hot enough
(b. Water from certain spring
has a relatively high boiling point
because of the presence of some solid
in solution such as suit, lime, et;.
The boiling point of any. liquid in
raised by the presence of solid in solution.
