SOME FACTS ABOUT JUPITER.

Colbert on observations of the planet Jupiter.
With a magnifying power of 63o on the 1912

measured on eight nights by Professor Hou2h,
and six by Professor Colbert, the resulting
values for ellipticitY being respectively LILO 70

COPPER PLATING ON ZINC.

The use OF cyanide baths for plating on zlnc'
say, The English Mechanic has the double dls-
advantage Of being poisonous ana expensive
Hess. II Is stated, has overcome the objections
by rendering the cyanide bath unnecessary.
This he accompllshes by the use OF an organic
salt of copper, for instance 4 tartrate. DIS
solve 1916 gIammes sulphate of copper lOlue
yitrioD in 2 litres of water; also 221 granmes
ta1trate of potash and $50 ggrammes ,u crys-
IN u,ixing the two solutions light blush
green precipitate of tartrate of copper Is
formed. Ii Is thrown on linen filter, and
afterward dissolved in half lltre OF caIls.ic
soda solution of leo r., when 1t Is ready for
use. The coating obtained from this solution
IL very plable, smooth, and coherent win a
fine surface, and acquires any desired thick
ness if left lOag enough in the bath. Other
metals can also be employed for plating IN the
form of tartrates. Instead of tartrates, phos,,
phates, Oxaates, eltlates. acetates, ana
fnTafes of metals can be used, SO that It seems
nossibIe TO dispense entirely with the use OF
cyanide baths.

Hard to Believe.

A worthy couple in Norristown have
been wonderfully blessed either by an
active Providence or an imaginative re-
porter. The husband is now in his
eighty-third year, but is remarkably
active. His sight remained good rather
longer than is the case with most old
men, but at length failed with all the
phenomena usual in advancing life, and
for sixteen years he was obliged to use
glasses. At length he found great diff
Guilty in obtaining spectacles to suit him.
They seemed to hinder rather than help
his sight, and, to his own surprise, he
found the power of his eyes returning.
For several years he has discarded
glasses altogether, and is now able to
read the finest print used in daily news
papers with perfect ease. His wife is
now in her. seventy-seventh year. At
about the usual age her teeth began to
fail and she finally lost them oil. In the
summer of 1873 she began to be troubled
with pain in the upper jaw, and soon a
full third set of teeth made their appear
ance. They grew to the usual size and
have since remained firm and in good
condition, but no new teeth appeared In

THOSE who have travelled in England can not
fail to remember the excessive annoyance
caused by the wretched system there prevalent
of taking charge of the baggage of passengers
On the various railways. In fact, there can
hardly be said to be any system at all. The
traveller gives up his traps at the station. and
If he takes the trouble to see precisely where
they are placed upon the train, he may stand a
chance of easily retaining them at the end of
the journey; but it sometimes happens that
some one is ahead OF him and carries them off
before he has a chance to protest. There is no
method of Identification, except the word of
the traveller, and this as may be supposed, is
not always trustworthy. One of the large Eng
ish railway companies has at least been brought
TO a recognition of this evil, and the English
papers state that officer of the Vermont
Central has been engaged to teach the employees
of the Great Eastern company the mysteries of
the check system.

was concealed about the house. Bmion refused
to open the door, but began fusllade on the
regulators, firing fifty Shots killing, it is said
one of them. This elraged the regulators. who
had come mostly to notify Boggs to leave the
country, and in their rage, they broke down
the doors of the house. In the onslaught three
shots we've fired at Binion. who was instantly

THAT the strategical position of Denmark
may BE of great Importance in the event of q
European war is the position taken by mill
tary writer in the Cologne Gazette. The har-
Dor of Copenhagen, and several good anchor
ages on the coast of Zealand, would afford to a
fleet operating in the Baltic secure basis which
would be very useful in a war against Russia
while in a war against Germany, Jutland would
afford place of Decentralization for large
army, which, marching southwark, would cause
diversion that might be very awkward for the
German commanders. It is therefore not ilss-
probable that some great power may attempt to
initiate the achievements of the British feet
against Denmark in 1901 and 1907 During the
Ciimean war there was no suspicion of Den
marks neutrality, and she was consequently not
attacked by any of the belligerents, but her
neutrality might be doubtful in the event of a
war between Germany, France, and perhaps
Russia, In which case it would probably be
deemed necessary "to set all doubts at rest by
decisive action"

A Judue's Farewell.

Recently Judge Logan E. Bleckley
took his leave of the Georgia Supreme
Court, after serving as an associate JUS
tice for five years. After he had deliv-
cred several opinions ON cases which the
court had decided, he took up sheet of
paper and read therefrom the following
lines, which were drawn up in the form
of a regular judicial opinion:
In the Matter Of Rest
BLECKLEY, j.
/. Rest for the hand and brow and breast,
For fingers, heart and brain
Rest and peace al long release
From labor and from pain:
Pain of doubt, fatigue, despair
Pain of darkness everywhere,
And seeking light in vain!
2. Peace and resti Are they the best
For mortaIs here below?
Is soft repose from work and woes
A bliss for men TO know?
Bliss of time is bliss of toll;
No bliss but this, from sin and soil,
Does Cod permit to grow.
Judge Bleckley read the lines slowly
and with emphasis. By order of the
court they were spread on the minutes
in honor of their author.
