Did you rise early enough on Sunday
morning last TO see our moon and the
great planet Jupiter consorting together
ms writer happened, about 8 O'Clock
a. M, TO observe their close proximity,
and perceived there was soon to be an
occultatiou.
AT that hour the air was still and clear
and they both showed beautifully In the
telescope. The morning hours are gen.
orally the beet for seeing. On THO occa-
sion the ranges Of lunar mountains cast
their clear cut shadows with unusual dis
tinctness, and as we looked down into her
numerous dead volcanic craters and saw
the little peaks OF material once dis
charged upward from her central fires,
all seemed SO plain and near at hand, that
one was almost tempted to search the
rocky mountain sides and adjacent plains
for some signs of lite. But AL such
searchings, even with glasses far more
powerful, have a. yet proved in vain.
Nought seems to reign there but cold
and death.
The mighty Jupiter, many millions of
miles hey ond tile moon, also showed
clear and fine, with the beis OF equatorial
clouds around her body, and her tour
sparkling moons all visible In a line, -
three OF them on the side next TO Mrs.
Moon and one on the opposite, all to
be soon eKtinguished from view behind
her body.
But the giant bulk of Jupiter (more
than 1000 I mes as large as earth) Is not
like the moon, cold snd dead. The latest
astronomlc lore says he ia yet too hot for
the abode Of man. "With clouds and
storms around him thrown, tempest Ger
tempest rolled" he Is yet TO ripen in the
great alembic of nature, for uses In the
realm Of liie, that will inure In due sea.
son, M the limitless aeons OF causatiou
advaLce and mature.
But this is not '0ccultation. SLOWLY
the moon moved eastward slowly ttt
morning broke and the hazy clouds be.
gan to gather. The moons of Jupiter
faded out OF sight even In the telescope
At about 6.45 o'clock, with the plan et
nearing the limb Of The moon, cloud
passed over and obscnrej ALL When
again 1t opened slightly the planet had
disappeared behind the moon. The
clouds thickcned and its emersion was
not visible
In clear, dark night, to have watched
the successive immersions and emersiOnt
of all the members OF the great system oil
Jupiter-himself and his four moons az
each disappeared and reappeared from
behind, our comparatively little neighboi
would have besn sight to zee. "

WASHINGTON, March 26.-The Post

say anything for publication on the

Cooley ON Interstate Commerce.

ALBANY, January Is. = Chairman
Cooley of the Interstate Commerce Com.
mittee spoke at the annual meeting OF
the State Bar Association tonight on the
subject of "The comparative merits OF a
written and unwritten constitution in
Commerce" He said in substance that
1t may be that, by and by, Federal Legis-
lature surveying the field OF Interstate
Commerce and taking note of how State
Commerce marches upon and inter-
mingles with it, will come to the conclus-
ion that separate regulations OF State
commerce must necessarily, to some ex-
tent at least, be inconsistent with com
plete Federal regulation of commerce that
is interstate, and should that conclusion
be reached, Federal legislature is not un-
likely to take to itself the complete regu-
lation of the whole. If it did so, it will
but add another to the illustrations to
history which shows how vast is the eoi-
fee which may rightfully be erected
within the bounds of single Federal
power which at first seemed Of little i'm
portance.

pointed by the Superior Courts, the
