If you look toward tho south In the early evening you will see the planet Jupiter glowing placidly among the con stellations like a great super-star which has no need to twinkle in oWet to call attention to It self. You will under stand at a glance why the ancients gavq to (his frieg nlficent planet the name of the chief of their gods,, whft the Chlne called it the "Regulator" and the Egyptians "Horus. the Gujder of the Sphere" In our scientifio way we have found more accurately descriptive terms for this big planet, which exceeds the earth about 1,800 times In magnitude, Arapng other things, we call Jupiter the "Comet Catcher," Its power of attraction is so great (moro thai SOO times that of the earth) and its position in the uolar-system Is so commanding (about five times as far from tho sun as the earth is), that it often draws wandering comets out of their paths as they approach the- sun from outer space and turns them Into smaUer, shorter orbit, so that,- hence forth, thev are unable to go very far away, but continue to revolve around the sun in elliptical curves, whose form has been; Imposed by the interference of Jupiter. Nearly thirty comets are now known ABee want ad does the bwBi- Jjjgjnh lbUB been y "ocs. ."ExrcrvVr.V JiadS themJ It u not Powerful enough to keep them for himself, but is compelled to hand them over to the sun, He is like one of the great, feudal barons of the mlddlo ages, who had to surrender his prisoners to his lord, the king. Still, ho sometimes interferes with them a second time, if they venture near him, and sends them scurrying off In new orbits. Ho has also created havoc among the orbits of the hundreds of tittle planets, called "asteroids," which he has trained Into groups, and he Is even suspected of having "turned some of them into his own retainers, in the character of little "moopff." In fact, Jupiter Is so powerful that he would make the earth revolve around htm if the sun were absent. One of his four principal moons Is larger than the around him onoo every week, making it travel in that spaco of time moro than 4,000,000 , nlles. The nearest of them, which la considerably larger than our moon, is whipped around him at a speed of 40,000 miles per hour. Everything goes fast about Jupiter, He turns on his own axis so rapidly that'hta day is only ten hours long, and it we were situated on his equator wo shouja find ourselves whirled round at the rate of more than 27,000 miles per hour. One consequence of this is that he has flattened h)s own poles and swelled out his own equator by Centrifugal' force to such an extent that he measures about 6,000 miles less throuah tho poles than through the equator. His equatorial diameter Is about fc,000, miles, and his planet Jfscomy. aad ytS. Its awlnga it polar diameter only about 83.0(0 miles. A FICTIONI1E8I? FAHLB FAHW FOR TUB 11 By LtLIATt liAUFEIlTY. There was once & woman whom life hurt. It drained her heart of Joy, and left it empty and throbbing. 8be bore it moaning for a time, and then the set about filling the empty shell. She velsed upon aL Una things that lay near at hand arid packed them tightly into the throb bing loneliness of her barren heart. There were cards and song and dancing and -wine and gay companions and -loud, merrymaking, and she forced them all o motley company Into the void? emptiness of her desolation. Oblivion and the for- getfulness she sought did pot come', but fever and excitement kept her brain whirling far away from the sadness of reality 1 It chanced one day that true love passed by, and he stopped at the door of her heart, lie knocked, but the ears of her soul were dulled with minstrelsy and its eyea were blinded by the glare end glitter of Jewelry, so neither heart nor soul could tell the woman that ho who stood without was true love. - At last and timidly love opened tho door of the heart that offered him no welcome, but when ho saW how" crowded that heart was with tinsel and paste Jewels, he sighed, "Alas I there Is ho room for me," and went his way. And the woman went on playing1 that she was happy and content But love hurt and slighted would not pass that way again for evermore- Thin difference is so striking that you can nee (t easily if you look at Jupiter through a telescope. He is not round llko a bete ball, but elongated like a foot ball, or, rather, flattened (Ike a pumpkin. Another consequence of hit mad energy of motion, which you wilt see If you Inspect him with a telescope, la that his whole surface is covered with Parallel belts of clouds drawn out into bands by tho swift rotation. These clouds vary in color and in form, and while you are watohlng them you wll aotually see the planet turning, if you continue your observations for an hour or two. Another thing of fascinating interest which a teescoplo view of Jupiter af fords is the motion of the four nearby rnoons, It was Galileo's discovery cf these moons that upset tho ancient sys tem of astronomy. They seem to fly as If terrified at tho possibility of being drawn down into tho grasp pf their re lentlees master. In the couroo.of a single evening you can see them cross hla disk or pass Into and out of ha shadow, and often' you can watch their own Uttlo round shadows, as black as Ink drops, moving swiftly across his brpad, oval, shining fate or disk. If ypu have not yet studied astronomy a subject that every intelligent human being should know something a) out be gin at ones with the planet Jupiter, If you' cannot get a chance to look at blm witn a telescope, watch him With the. naked eye, observe his place among the stars-rho I now In. the .constellation Sagittarius and see how that place slowly changes from week to week. Then got a book on astronomy, and (earn from It all you can, not only about Jupiter, but about other things in the sky, and the result, in the broadening of your nitnl and the tranqullltxlng of your spirit, will be both of delight and a surprise to you.

The queen of 8hba could stop down off her throne and tell the fat Uttlo man that she was dying of love for hl&.and he wouldn't be a bit suprUed not he. He'd Just sparkle hla tifsS eyea and twist hla faded- mustache and look as much like a conquering hero as ho could and never wonder once what asylum tho lady had escaped from. Once I lived in the house with a poor little man-orlppled, " a dwarf, hideously ugly and so weak and IH that you couldn't look at him without pity. There were several othor gtrle In th same house and we all felt sorry for tho poor Utile distorted fellow, and we. made It a point to be unusually nice te Him till wo found out that he was worried' .to death for fear some of ua would eemtwtt suicide for love oThlm. Since that time X have never counted on the shrinking modesty of a man of any age, .condition or state of mind.

Vain men vainl Just tell t, man you know than another man la good looking, and see btm'wince, Tl him that another man has fine eyes, and watch him; shud der and warn you against the other man. Tell htm that you think he Is the hand somest man that ever lived and see how faintly he will deny the sweet accusa tion to that. Dear fellow, how can ho whether he's handsome or not, he's vain anyway; so, I wouldn't pay much atten tion to tnot, .Pear fellow, haw can he help being vain with alt the ladles telling hlra in words and out of them how dearly they would love to have hint llko them Just a little. And at that he's probably something to be proud of If he, a real man for an earnest ceeker for truth never forget this. A decent man Is a pretty decent sort of thing1, and well worth the loving day and night, and always and ever, even If h Is volrr Jusl a bit.
