The bright planet Jupiter. which is
seen in the Eastern skies shortly after
dark. wss probably as brilliant. and oc
cupiei the same position. when Adam
and Eve sat on their front door steps,
talking over the latest fashions /; when
Noah looked ont of his Ark. the first
night after it stopped raining; when Ja-
cob wres,led with the Angel when Job
tumblel about on his bed. unable to
sleep. for his boils and when Joseph
and Mary took their flight into Egypt.
Yet some Of our citizens appear to have
Just discovered the existence OF such .
star for the first time-a few. probably,
imagining that they are the first discov-
erers of a new planet. Jupiter is al
ways a great twinklsr; and as he makes
his appearance in the east. Just over the
bluffs and among tho tree tops. he pre-
sents different appearance from different
stand.points. As be moves up behind the
twigs and clumps Of leaves on the trees.
he seems to be bobbing about in q COM
ical manner. Now he is in full view in
an open space. snd the next minute be is
completely hidden behind the dense foil.
age or some projsction of the bluff. which
makes it appear as if he is lesping about.
Perhaps the limb of Q tree intervenes.
and gives him the shape Of fiery cross.
Some peculiar state of the atmosphere
may assist these strange appearances.
and add to the wonder. Various have
been the prophecies and speculations.
Some gravely predict that the appearance
of cross is q sure sign that the world is
coming to an end and others step in
and clinch it by asserting that the unusu-
al motions are caused BY the stars rap.
idly approaching the earth. and that it
will soon strike and smash things.
We have heard of a good old lady
who. "the time the stars FELL" in 1888.
lsmented most piteously. declaring she
knew it was a sign that some one Of her
family was going to die She certainly
had better cause for her forebodings than
our present astrologers and prophets.
Astronomers tell us that Jupiter's moons
will be eclipsed on the 2lst Of this
month. We do not believe that any
thing more serious will happen, connec-
ted with that planet. We believe we
might even say correctly. that when the
people now on earth are covered deeper
than our bluffs with the dust of those
who die after them. Jupiter will look and
act just as he does now. and just as be
has done since the morning when "the
stars sang together"
