Address, College Box, 722, Berea, Ky. 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;.
