The Weight of the Earth.
Tho weight of the earth has been six times computed with slightly varying results. The average, according to The Educational World, is a mean density of 6.44 as compared with water. Tho average density of all materials of 16 miles of the earth's crust as well as volcanic matter thrown out from an estimated depth of 800 miles is less than one-half the mean density. The average mass below volcanic action is estimated to be 10 times heavier than water.
