For many months past vast oval opening has ex-

ut least seems to be the true Interpretation Of the
enormous rose tinted spot visible ON "the
moon.girt orb of mighty Jove." This opening has q
length of fully $4,000 miles, breadth OF about 1000
miles, though it is to be noted not the least
markable feature of this strange phenomenon, that
since it was discovered the opening has changed
markedly in size and shape IL not in position las

The part of Jupiers outer cloud envelope thus dis
placed cannot be less than 1885, square miles
in extent-in other words the of the tinted
spot nearly equal to that of all the covered
parts of EARTH Our spectroscopists ought to be
able to compare the rosy light from this part OF
Jupiter with that received from the cream colored
belt occupying part of his equatorial zone.
The result Of such comparison could hardly fail to
be instructive. 1t has been asserted, by the way.
that ninetenths of Jupiers light is inherent. not
mere sunlight reflected from his cloud surface.
This. however, cannot be the case. though doubtless
the eminent mathematician professor Pierce who
made the is fully justified in believing.
he does, that the hidden globe of Jupiter is still
agow with intense heat. For If ninetcnths or even
ouehalf of Jupiters irht were inherent this light
analyxed with the spectroscope would almost cer-
tainly be found to differ in q marked degree from
that Of reflected sunlight Whereas the only observed
difference is such to indicate that Jupiters light

passed through air heavily laden with the vapor Of
water. Doubtless Jupiter's dense clouds hide his
glowing surface almost wholly from our view.
