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

would ever think of the heartbreaking
history that had been nebulized in that
' speck of cosmic vapor.—Barrett P.

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

This means that if yon could stand
beside it and see the earth rush by its

six minutes. It means that ia one day

travels 1,000.800 miles!

The initial velocity of some projec
tiles may be half a mile per second, or
forty-fbur times slower than the earth.

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.
