Our Big Neighbor. !.

a greet deal has been said of late about
!: our neigh l.bor, the planet Jupiter, and
with good reason, for Jupiter has been in
+ condition of intense activity. His disk,
seen through the telescope; is crossed by
belts OF various forms and ,colors. The
central ones are the great equatorial belts,
and are more permanent than the lesser
ones near the poles. The ,Talker saw
this planet little while ago, through the
largest refracting telescope in the world.
His disk was larger than that of the full
moon. His belts were of varied forms
and colors, and were tinted with. soft
gray, purple brown and delicate green.
The picture was not only superbly beau
tiful, but wonderfully impressive for the
atmosphere of life and action that per-
vaded it. Jupiter is probably surrounded
by cloud atmosphere several thousand
miles in depth, beneath which glows the
heated nucleus, giving out some light
and heat. The great red. spot, the huge
riffs in the clouds, the changing form
and hues of the belts, bear witness to
the commotion that agitates his chaotic
mass. the process of development that
in the course of millions Of years will
make the giant planet fit abode for
animate life. The Companion says truly
that we are probably watching, the pro-
cess of world making on the surface of
our big brother. In his.Tast bulk, !, 300
times that of the earth, the cooling pro-
cess must be slow, for the law is, the
larger the mass of the planet, the longer
it takes to cool. Long before it shall
have become cooled, it is probable that
mankind shall have ceased to exist on
this planet. Christian at Work.

A Splendid Structure.

The new palace of justice at Brussels,
one of the largest and most remarkable
constructions of modern times, was re-
Gently opened with becoming solemnity.
The palace, placed in commanding sit
uation in the most elevated part of the
town, was commenced in 1856. The
celebrated architect, NJ. j. Poelaert, who
made the plans and directed the work,
has, unfortunately, not seen its compile
ton. Since his death, in 1879, the works
have been directed by NJ. Wellens, engin-
eer in the service of the government. NJ.
Poelaert did not adopt any determined
style, but made use for his magnificent
structure of Greek, Roman, and even,
especially as regards the outline, of In
dian models. The result is considered
glorious one for his memory and for
the country, but it has only been OBJ
tanned at cost of $4,000, 1000 francs
(saOOO, ,OOW. Very large sums will
be required for the transformation
of the quarter surrounding the
palace so as to give it frame
worthy of it. The palace by itself COW
ers Sc, 900 square meters. BY adding
the squares and ascents and descents
which had to be created, total of co.
900 square meters, which were necessary
for construction, is arrived at. The cen
tral hall measures 800 square meters,
and is S5 meters high, while its roof
opens into gilt crown terminating in a
cupola at q height of 973
meters, The palace contains beside
twenty y-seven large and PAS smaller
halls for the different services,
and eight yards. All the principal
halls are most richly decorated.
The materials which have been employed
in the construction and decoration are
the most durable which could be provi-
dcd by money, after most comprehen-
| sive study of the matter. The building
is, indeed, almost indestructible, and will
transmit the name of Poelaert to the
most distant times. The outside height
up to the crown on the cupola is 11e
meters. From whichever side one now
approaches Brussels this colossal build
ing presents itself, dominating the town
and surrounding country. Critics, of
course, find fault with this and that, but
on the success of the great enterprise as
whole Belgium must be congratulated
on.-L0n20n Times.

/ Valuable Bottle in the Atlantic.

Two business men sat in the Office of
the Brevoort house one evening last:week
discussing matters pertaining to the sea.
: The conversation turning upon the posi-
bility of a sealed bottle thrown from o
