Jupiter's diameter is about eleven
times that of our earth, and his mean
density is about quarter of that of the
earth, or about third more than water.
Now, bulky body may be composed of
heavy materials, and still, as a whole,
be light, like an iron ship or lump of
pumice-stone, that will float in water.
The pumice lump is light on account of
its vesicular formation, so that the mass
consists of heavy felspathic material and
the air it contains Extract the air,
and the pumiee loses its floating power,
though still far from heavy in proportion
to its bulk. Most of the earth's crust is
formed of solids much heavier than
water. GRANTEES are more than two and
a half times heavier than water, slaty
rocks much about the same, and so are
ordinary ime-stOnes, the variations of
all being from about 2.5 to 2.9. The
ironstone group contains denser miner
ais; red hematite has specific gravity of
As; magnetic ironstone, 40 to 5.2, &c,
and many other ores are heavy. At
some remote period, when only a part
of the now solid earth had been con-
densed from gaseous and vapory matter,
our planet might have had a mean dem
sity like that of Jupiter, as its rocky
materials contain between 40 and 30 per
cent. of oxygen; and while condensa-
tions and chemical combinations were
going on rapidly, our globe must have
d been the scene of
Thunders, Hghtnings, and prodigious storms"
And it is probable that certain stars
which have suddenly blazed forth with
passing slender have exhibited to us the
spectacle Of confagrations extending
over millions and billions of square
miles. Color-changes in Jupiter-such
as those noticed by Mr.. Browning and
the writer in 1S69.70-may have been
j caused by soda-fames, though not fierce
enough or extensive enough to add ma
terially to his ordinary luminosity,
which is estimated as always exceeding,
though not in very high degree, what
= it would be by mere reflection Of light
received from the sun.

A WOman's Unwavering Affection.

A special to the Kansas City Times,
from Marshall, Tex, says: Edward
Louery, a foreman of the Texas Pacific
Railway, who was run over by train
last week, and so terribly injured as to
make his death momentarily expected,
was married to-day to his fancee, a
Miss Self. The ceremony was a pecu-
liarly solemn and touching one. A few
intimate friends were present. The
wounded man was propped up in bed,
and made great efforts to pronounce his
part OF the marriage vows, but speedily
became - weak that he could barely
move his lips. The young bride is
beautiful girl, scarcely nineteen years of
age, and has quiet, interesting manners.
She has been constant in her devotion
to her lover since his terrible misfor-
tune, and this last act is at the same
time an eloquent tribute to her noble
affection and the fidelity Of her sex.

New JERSEY justice cheated natural
death out Of a victim the other day by
hanging adeeTepit and fee BILE imbicile who
was sixty>fiye years old. The tottering

he insisted on having the rope and hand

ably results from the recent elections in
his country, which have given a good
many high officials a well earned vaca-
tion. Mr.. Harwood does not coAe 9
peciaIly to study the American System
of beheading criminals by the clothes
line presses, but to examine our general
methods of hanging. It will be loss TO
the man if he returns to the old country
without making a study of the far West
style of lynching, in which tree limb, a
dry goods box or a barrel, and score OF
streDg arms usher a man into eternity.

cover, and viii find out that hanging is
the exception rather than the rule in

A TRAVELLER ia the forests of Brazil
saw hairy spider with a body two
inches long, and eight legs, measuring
seven inches each. 1t was on a tree
trunk beneath q deep crevice, across
which was stretched dense white web.
The lower part of the web was broken
and two small finches were entangled in
the pieces. One was still alive, but
died soon after its rescue. The hairs OF
these crab spiders come of when touched
andcause a maddening irritation. He
saws he saw the children of an Indian
family with one of these monsters Sc.
cured By q cord and leading it about
the house like dog.

YEARS ago. when farming was in its
infancy, agricultural pursuits were de-
spised, The city belle would hardly
recognize her country cousin. But times
have changed. The farmer now stands
in the foremost ranks of acknowledged
worth. Yes, times have changed; the
respected and most powerfully felt. His
industry has enriched a nation and
changed the balsnce of trade with
foreign powers. The farmers sons and
daughters are now foremost among the
aristocrats of the land and their voices
are heard in the counsels of the nation.

TWO PICTURES.

A maiden, in garden, dreaming
OF the fairy prince and halcyon dayBs
Her head, with sunny tresses cleaning,
Bowed down beneath dim trellised ways.
A row Of sunfowers by paling,
A wicket left upon the latch,
A summer house, with woodbine trailing,
And ivy creeping Ger the thatch.
A football on the garden gravel,
a quickening heart, whispered wordi
A youth, burnt brown with foreign travel
Come back to claim hope deferred.
o happy, happy time of loves beginning,
Ere ever we can guess that storms are neafl
Sunlight glancing, buds unfolding, thrushes
ing,
Golden summer of the soul and Of the year,
A garret in a city byway,
pale sad woman all alone;
A weary wanderer on life's highway,
Poor and forsaken and unknown.
What need to knit the little stocking,
Or strive again for daily bread?
Why set an empty cradle rocking2
The nesting has forever 6ed
" Yes, both are gone; perchanCs 'tis better!n
She sghs at length. 4" Ills better sop
Then bends to read tattered letter,
Or turns to watch the falling snow.
All, bitter, bitter time Of sorrows waking
Ere even we can dream that hope is near!
Snow is falling flowers are fading hearts are brea

The Italian Government has decided
to construct the proposal observatory on
Mount Etna, which will be fitted for
chronological as well as for meteoro-

The building will be the property of
the University of Catania. This will
be the second loftiest observatory in the
world, the United States signal station
at Pixies Peak, in Colorado, at an eleva-
ton of 1896 feet, being the loftiest

I SOMETIMES think if our rich men
would lose half their money they would
enjoy the other half twice as much.
Riches are nothing unless they bring
contentment, and no man deserves any
particular credit who has worked because
he had to, and has been successful be-
cause he had no temptations to lead him
astray. 1t is the man who had the
chance and the temptation to go to the
devil and did not go who is to be praised.
The Chinese have a saying that it is not
the number of times a man falls that
count in his life, but the number of
times he gets up on his feet again

Indiana'S Claim

Indiana, apparently, is well up in front
when it comes to claiming the honor of
building the first railroad in this coun-
try. For as early as 1888 road with
wooden rails, on which strap-rail was
to have been laid, was put down for two or
three miles east of Shelbyville with the
intention of carrying it to Indianapolis.
The weather-boarded car with
straight-backed seats, and windows of
nine lights, eight-by-ten glass, high up
in the car, and a roof of poplar shingles,
looked like a small cottage without a
chimney. It was drawn by horses.
