rhe Planet Jupiter.

A radiant star will adorn the sky for
several months to come. 1t is Jupiter
the largest and grandest planet OF the
solar system.
He is now in opposition with the SUM-
rising at sunset, reaching the meridian
at midnight and setting at sunrise, be-
ing visible through the whole night
Jupiter in opposition, or opposite the
sun, as the word implies, is at his great
est distance from the sun and nearest
to the earth, which accounts for his
superb appearance
This majestic planet is equal in vol
ums to 1900 worlds like ours. and casts
a shadow that extends 90, 900, 900 OF miles
in space He is called planet, but is
more like a sun, and probably gives out
some light and heat. The rapid changes
visible on his surface through the tele-
scope indicate the action OF mighty
forces, and a possible condition ap-
preaching incandescence.
Countless ages must pass before the
planets fires grow low, and are succeed
ed by periods of development, pertec-
ton and decay, the three processes that
rule the material universe.
Observers, therefore, may watch the
progress of world making on this
stately member of the suns family, as
the telescope reveals the varying belts,
the riffs, the bright spots, and especially
the famous red spot, showing that fierce
forces are raging within and beneath the
cloud atmosphere that envelops the
planet.
Those who are familiar with the
planets story will take a deeper interest
in watching the course of the bright star
that reigns supreme, and that may be
recognized at a glance as, looming above
the southeastern horizon like a young
moon, he makes his way toward the
zenith. Youths Companion.

laymen should be heard on this subject.
lie had gone into many a store in New
York, Boston and Washington, and
tried in vain to buy a religious paper.
The English religious press also needed
improvement, and he hoped a religious
daily paper would be brought forth,
The London sporting papers had larger
circulation than all the religious pa
pers.
Mr.. Atkinson, an English member of
parliament, thought the religious pa
pers should take no account of political
matters. He was proud of DIR. Hughes
as a preacher, but he was not and never
should be proud OF him as an editor.
When DR.. Hughes was invited to come
down from his high place as preacher
to aid decrepit party, he said he would
do so. When he got down there he de-
livered himself of sentence almost as
near blasphemy as a religious man
could have come.
The gavel fell at this point, but Mr..
Atkinson called out: cit was merely a
question as to how Jesus Christ would
speak ON the Irish question. "
Rev. DR.. Balmer, OF England, aroused
Mr.. Atkinson by expressing gratitude to
DIR. Hughes and adding that condemna-
ton by sope speakers was equivalent to
the praise OF others; whereupon Mr..
Atkinson with the same spirit demanded
to know ''if that sort Of insinuation is
to be brought forward on another
brother"
The chairman restored order, and Dr.
Balmer withdrew his remark, but soon
aroused Atkinson again by referring to
remark by Mr.. Shape to the effect that
one ofthe English political parties had
ridden into power on beer barrel, and
adding: 1--WE never learned that their
body was divorced from the beer bar
rel"
Atkinson replied excitedly that the
party never was married to it.
DIR. Balmer reioined that he was 60
years of age, and as competent to form
judgment as others.
At this stage DIR. Morley. of New Zea-
land, raised the point of order that Eng
fish politics couldn't be discussed IN the
conference.
DIR. Balmer said his allusion had been
called forth by preceding speakers, and
he would be allowed his full five min
utes.
Atkinson subsidized with the parting
shot, II hope you won't"
DIR. Balmer then finished his discus
sion OF the proper functions OF the
press.
The business committee reported back
a memorial touching the closing of the
Worlds Columbian exposition on Sun
day, and committee was appointed to
prepare an appropriate expression OF the
| judgment of the conference.
Fraternal delegates from other denom-
nations were received tonight.

ABANDONED At SEA.
The British Steamship Devonshire Lo
Her Captain and Crew Saved,

The British Steamship Devonshire Lost,
Her Captain and Grew Saved.
New YORK, Oct. pa dispatch from
London says: The steamship Devon
shire, from Barrow for New York. has
been passed at sea abandoned. Nothing
has been heard from her captain and
crew. Never has the loss of steam
ship at sea caused so much excitement
since the great Denmark disaster. No
particulars of the disaster have been re-
ceived in this city. No one knows what
became of the captain and crew. They
may now be safe on board some other
vessel, but the maritime men think this
hardly probable. The chances are that
the captain and his thirty-six men are
lost. They undoubtedly took to the
boats when it was seen that the vessel
had no chance. In the sea and storm
that has been raging for the last week.
the boats could hardly have lived.
A later dispatch to this city from
Lloyds' in London, says the Devonshire
was abandoned about $50 miles west Of
Barrow. Up to the time of cabling
nothing had been heard from the can.
tain and crew.
The Devonshire sailed from Barrow
on September 30th, and was, If all re-
ports are true, in ballast. The Devon
shire generally made the passage to this
city in about fifteen days, so.no uneasi.
ness has been felt about hernon-appear-
ance She is twin screw steamer
1865 feet long, 1866 feet broad and Is.
feet deep. She was worth at least
$l0c, 900.
Later.-A dispatch from London to-
night says The British steamer Norwe-
gian, which has arrived at Glasgow
from Montreal, had on board the crew
OF the British steamer Devonshife, which
was abandoned 800 miles west OF Tory
island.

STRUCK 1T RICH.
A Los Angeleno Who is Almost on
Velvet


Velvet.
A gentleman OF this city while on a
visit to San Francisco a short time ago
met our old townsman, Mr.. James Noel,
who was in great spirits on account of
his fine prospects. Mr.. Noel had just
come down from the Horse Shoe Valley
mining district, in Okanogan county,
eastward of the Cascade range. The j.
L. Thatcher company, in which Mr..
Noel is largely interested, has two mines
in this district-the Mountain Queen
and the Calias-which are considered
very rich. Mr.. Noel said the country
was full of prospectors and good mines
are being daily discovered in the Cas-
cade range. The district is now diff
cult to reach. The roads are horrible,
and the only mode OF safely making the
trip is on horseback. Mr.. Noel looks as
if he were on very good terms with the
world, and expects to be on velvet
financially before long.
