In this column in the Tribune of
March 8, summary was given of Prof
Proctor's arguments assigning a great
depth to the atmosphere Of the major
planets. Among the evidences adduced
il was mentioned that satellite Occul
ted by the edge of one of these planets
has reappeared briefly just after conceal
ment. Quite recently remarkable ad.
dition has been made to this class of evil
dence. Mr.. Todd ard his assistant, Mr.
Ringwood, using an eight-inch telescope
in the observatory at Adelaide, Austria
LA, have separately and more than once
observed that a satellite of Jupiter, after
passing behind the edge of the planets
disk, was distinctly visible, being viewed
through theplanet for about two minutes
before being finally concealed, The YER
tical depth within the apparent edge of
the planet at which the satellite was
seen can not be estimated at less than
1000 miles. 1t seems likely that tie
atmosphere of Jupiter may be 5000 or
1000 miles deep; some estimates exceed
even these figures. A notion Of such an
atmosphere is given by the statement
that a globe of the size Of this earth,
resting on the true surface of Jupiter,
would be covered and concealed by the
outlying clouds of that planet,-M Y

Indians who have arrived at the Spotted
Tail agency, the seal ring of Lieutenant
Van w. Riley Of the Seventh cavalry,
who was killed in the Custer massacre.
1t is not positively known whether or
not Crazy Horse, with his band proper,

he would come in and hold a council,
Since then nothing.has been heard from

A FACT mentioned by DR.. Edwards at
late meeting OF the San Francisco mi
croscopical society may be new to many
of our readers. What is called :" rice
paper" imported from China, is popu-
tarly believed TO be made of rice. Indeed,
the statement has been made by residents
in China that they had seen the process
of manufacture from pulp, similar to the
method of making ordinary paper. Their
statement can not, however, be accepted,
as Quekett some time ago dis covered by
means of the microscope that the so-called
"rice paper" is natural cellular tissue.
Further inquiry has determined ~
this paper" is simply the
