A bold little woman who beckons to disaster bands the safe of her
heart down to the sneak-thieves and crows. "There, knaves, 1 give it
to you! You are two babies with a bank that has no lock. You are
two birds after a fly In an amber bead. You are two children who
puzr.le over the Japanese box: 'first get the key out and then unlock
me!' Ah-ab! My heart is my own and I know the combination.
The one you have there is wrong. For you see the combination with

The mlghtleM world of which we have

of everybody who will take the trouble
to look tip and see It. Kvery night Ihe
enormous planet .In

hiwly tvwatd the
meridian with the

sight for at least a thousand people
whom I passed, but I beUeve I was the
only est who even glanced at It. I do
not rlutin any credit on that evonnt,
for it iias become an Important part of
my life to look at the sky. But why
alsvtild Intelligent Inhabitants of this
earth lose the most Inspiring sights that
Clod baa placed before them? Thoae
people of whom I speak were) very curious
about the instgn if leant things close at
hand. Home of them ran. and crowded
one another, to watch two miserable lit
tle dots fight and there was Jupiter
looting down upon them, and not one
even saw htm! A poor dor that "bays

of the universe !
Our educational system fund I mean
home education quite as much a. the
school variety) Is largely to blame for
this. We teach ourselves to keep our
noses to the ground. We bury our
selves In the duet of ttie earth unltl we
can see nothing else. Who teethes his
children the "roography .of the heav
ens?" Who learns anything about It
himself? Even wlwn only the earth Is In

that Is habltuallydaught, and not the
geography that given us rest, enlight

lakes and seas, snd makes us truly ac
quainted with our planet.
Only as representing a stage In the
creation of worlds the great planet Jupiter
Is of Immense Interest. In size, In mass,
tn physical condition, be stands about
mid-way between the sun and the earth.
In round numbers It Is about 1,000 times
(really tjm times) larger than the earth
and 1,000 times smaller than ths sun.
The sun represents the great original
mass, now strongly condensed, out ot
whloh the solar system was formed.
Jupiter is a big chip from the Work; the
earth Is a grain of quarts. So much for
relative six. Now for condition. It Is
all a quostion of comparative tempera
ture. They were all hot, molten, gaseous
at one time. A lanre mass of the same
material takes longer to ooll than a small
one.
Watch the sparks that fly off from a
mass of whtte-hot iron. They flash and
cool and disappear In a moment, but the
big mass retains Its heat and continues
long to alow before its surface becomes
cold end dsric. Bo the planets thrown
off from the ana haws cooled and cessed
to shine, while the sun Itself remains
brilliantly tn candescent.
But a big ship etays hot and shining
longer than a small one. Even when it
has ceased to glow It is still at a high
temperature for a considerable time. You

sympathy at that slavery of a quarter
of a century to an Infirmity, he will say
cheetlly: "Out how lucky I sm to be

Kvery morning the live half of him
drags the dead half to the beach for the
tonic of sir and brine, and brought cheer

"It's good that Ood doesn't leave the

morning when there had been echoes
from the shore hotels of "bad business."
"Kor man would have turned this silvery
morning into a blistering day so that he
might 'make money' from It."
On another morning such s day as hotel
folk pray for to the gods of hotels, a
petulant beauty complained of the crowds
that hd poured down from the hot city.
"O, I'm a New Tork bay, and I love
crowds," he had laughed back. Whether
it rained or the sun shone, whether few
