The Feat of Raising the Earth From a Scientific Viewpoint. “Give me a fulcrum and a place on which to stand and I will raise the earth from its place!" That is a say- ing popularly attributed to Archimedes. If the required conditions were possio hle the feat might be performed. but in addition to providing a fulcrum and a place on which to stand Archimedes would also have to be furnished an in- definite lease ot life. Reidel gasped. for he expected the king to say that he wished the picture for himself. But the king noticed his anxiety and. striking him on the shout- der, said. laughing: ARCHIMEDES AND HIS LEVER. We shall assume the following data in our calculation: .That the earth is a sphere 7.926 miles in diameter and that 5.5 is its mean density; also that the lever has no weight. Should we design a real lever it would be of such enormous size and weight that Ar- chimedes‘ weight would be a negligible quantity. It the earth is 7.926 mnés in diame ,ter the volume is about 261.000.000.000 cubic miles. or 38.400.000.000.000.000.- 000,000 cubic feet. and if the density is 5.5 the weight per cubic foot would be about 344 pounds. which multiplied by. the volume would give as the weight of the earth l3.‘.’09,600.000.000.- 000...000000000 pounds. We shall as- sume. further. that Archimedes weigh. ed 150 pounds and that “the place on which to stand” was some distant star; then. if the fulcrum is one mile from the point of application of the lever to the earth the length of the power arm of the lever. or the dis- tance of Archimedes‘ “standing place.” would have to be 88.064.000.000.000.- 000,000,000 miles. Unnecessary Alarm. When Frederick the Great. at the be- ginning of the Seven Years' war. was in possession of Dresden he went to view the works or art in the royal picture gallery. The gallery director. Ileidel. took the king through all the rooms and explained each picture as they went along. Frederick expressed his unreserved admiration for all the pictures. but when he came before a certain painting by Correggio he stop. ped. viewing it with particular interest. “11' you are willing.” he said sudden- ly, “I should like to have that pic'- tore”â€" To move the earth a distance of one inch Archimedes' end of the lever would have to move through a dis. tance of 1....3SS.000000000000.000 miles. Now. it Archimedes should take hold of the end of the lever and apply his weight of 150 pounds to it and should move off into space with the velocity of light, or 186.000 miles a second. it would take him 237.000 years to fin- ish the job he proposed. so that now. nearly 2.200 years after making the famous dictum. he would barely have started the undertakingâ€"C. 0. Sand- strom in Scientific American. “It you are willing I should like to have that picture copiedP-Yonth’s Companion. Bore and Caliber. The bore of a shotgun is determined by the circumference of any one or a given number or lead balls or equal weight. the total weight of. which is one pound. For instance. the circum- ference of the barrel of a ten bore shotgun is equal to the circumference of any one of ten lead balls of equal weight the total weight at which is one pound. To raise the earth a height of one inch by the force which Archimedes would have been capable of exerting would take not only an extremely long lever. but an extremely long time. as can be readily shown. . - A Musical Tyrant. Gluck as a conductor is said to have been an unmerciful tyrant. Frequent- ly the musicians would have to repeat a passage twenty times before he was satisfied. The members of the Vienna court orchestra complained of this hare usage to the emperor, Jeseph I]... who aPpeilsed them by agreeing to give them 2 ducats instead or 1 duoat for every performance at ‘ which Gluck should conduct. The caliber of a rifle is the diameter of the bore of its barrel measured in hundredths of an inch. The diameter or the bore of a 32 caliber rifle is thirty-two hundredth: of an inch.â€" Philadelphia Press. A Prophetic Writer.
