Fig ured in another way, tlie em rgy in the firing earth is equivalent to nearly three sextilUons of horsepower, tlie horsepower being the measure of the tvork done by 33.000 foot pounds of energy developed in one minute. •" That is to say. if the earth could be brought to,.rest in one minute and all its energy turned into driving mueliiu- | cry it would develop nearly three sex tillions of horsepower. But if it were brought to rest in one second it would develop sixty times more horsepower! Then we may consider the thermal effects of the earth's kinetic energy if by instantaneous arrest of the motion it were turned into heat. There would be a sudden development of so treiueu flous a temperature that the earth might le valorized. Puff! And some astronomer on some distant planet, aiitning his telesco|x through the cool 4 evening air, would catch sight of a lit tle new nebula, twinkling like a thistle flow n blown into the sky of space. Thereafter the dissipated earth would appear in a catalogue on that faroff world under the name of "Jones' Neb- J Ula." and nobody, casually glancing at It from sin observatory and unsyiupa thetically noting its extreme exiguity, would ever think of the heartbreaking history that had been nebulized in that ' speck of cosmic vapor.—Barrett P. Serviss in New York Journal. Be Yourself. I hardly know so true a work of n little mind as the servile imitation of .another.-"-Greville. I velocity of half a mile per second ft would not only ipiss its mark, but the whole breadth of the earth would have passed by before the ball had traversed one-tenth of the original distance sepa rating the cannon from the earth. The motion of the earth becomes pos sibly even more impressive when we consider the awful energy that it pro duces. Kinetic energy, or the capacity to do work, such as striking a blow, is measured by multiplying the mass of the moving body by the square of its velocity and dividing the pro luct by 2. In order to get the result In foot pounds we reckon the mass In pounds an 1 divide again by 32 or by tI in all. The reason for dividing by 32 (more exactly 32.18) is that that number is the unit tin feet per second) of the earth's gravitation, or the acceleration of gravity. Calculated in this way. the kinetic energy of the earth tomes out at more than ninety septillion i9O followed by This means that if yon could stand beside it and see the earth rush by its whole enormous globe. 8.000 miles in diameter, would pass your eye In about six minutes. It means that ia one day and night (twenty-four hours) the earth travels 1,000.800 miles! Compared with the velocity of pro jectiles. the speed of the earth's flight Is so great that the swiftest of them would seem to stand still. A rifle bul let may go. say. one-third of a mile per second in the first moments of its flight -that is. sixty times slower than the earth, which never stops or slows up. The initial velocity of some projec tiles may be half a mile per second, or forty-fbur times slower than the earth. If a cannon could be planted out in space and tired at the earth from a dis tance equal to one-quarter of the earth's diameter (which would be like a hunter firing his rifle about eighteen inches from a deer's side) and if tlie shot were aimed at the front edge of ihe fly ing earth (imagining the latter flat I ke a diskj ami fired, with an imdiminishing ■ f . \ ... ' CALIFORNIA SENDS NEW MAN TO U. S. SENATE Photo by American Press Association. JAMES D. PHELAN. Mr. Phelan was one of the hew men who took the obligation as United i States senators last week.

I OUR FLYING WORLD . ts Awful Velocity In Its Spiral Whirl Through Space. THE RESULT IF IT STOPPED. Were Its Motion Suddenly Arrested the Earth Would Be Vaporized by the Heat Generated and a New Nebula Would Blaze In the Heavens. The direction and speed of the earth's flight are tlie resultants of two motions with which it is endowed—tlie one around the sun. the other with the sun straight away through space. The com bination of these simultaneous motions causes the earth to travel in a spiral path whose axis is directed nearly to ward the bright star Vega, the most beautiful in the northern sky. In its orbit, or annual path around , the sun, the earth's mean speed is eighteen and one-half miles per second, while its speed of transition toward Vega, which it shares with tlie sun, is about twelve miles per second. We may call the resultant or combined ! speed of the earth in its actual s; '; 1 | trajectory twenty-two miles per second. I!!
