other boats from passing, delaying about

TIE GIANT PLANET JUPITER.

Jupiter was at it's brightest OH the
night Of June 10, when he was exactly
opposite the sun. and came to the
south at midnight.
Jupiter is the fifth of the great
planets in order Of distance from the
sun: our earth being the third. Mer-
curry is the first, travelling nearest to
the sun. Venus which l described
few months ago, is the second, and
travels inside the earth's path. Next
outside the earth's path is that OF
Mars. Outside his track there come
the paths of number of very small
planets travelling in ring around the
sun. More than ITO Of these have
already been discovered; but all these
together besides hundreds more of
the family not yet discovered) do not
weigh so much as the tenth of our
earth. Outside this family of many
congregated planets, all together
scarcely enough to make single
respectable planet, comes Jupiter,
outweighing not only all these,-not
only these with our earth, Mars. Venus
and Mercury thrown in,-but all the
other planets taken together, no less
than two and a half times.
jupiter exceeds our earth30O times
in mass or quantity Of matter. But
enormous though this excess OF mass
may seem, it is small compared with
his excess of size; for he exceeds the
earth 1888 times in volume. 1t is
only because he travels so much
farther away than either Venus OF
Mars, that he appears less bright than
Venus aud not many times brighter
than Mars. For these two planets
are utterly insignificant compared
with him, both in size and mass. But
he travels more than five times farther
from the sun than the earth goes, sc
that even at his nearest and brightest
his distance from us exceeds foul
times our distance from the sun
whereas, when Mars is at his nearest
his distance from us is not much more
than one-third of our distance from
the sun.-ProfR. A. Proctor, st. Mich
