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.

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.

you want to know, young woman-and

The queen of 8hba could stop down off

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

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

Since that time X have never counted
on the shrinking modesty of a man of

ought to go somewhere and take tickets
for 'being on exhibition, for ha la a

tho truth, from my point of observation.
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

Tell htm that you think he Is the hand

faintly he will deny the sweet accusa

help being vain with alt the ladles telling

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.
