world including five hundred illustrations. The
Columbian Exposition, the Army and Navy
great public events, disasters on land and sea,
and the dOings of the celebrated people of the
day will be described and illustrated in an at
tractive and timely manner. The department OF
amateur Sport will continue under the direction
Of Casper W. Whitney. The best of modern
writer's will contribute short stories, and the
most distinguished artists will make the illustra-
tons. The editorial articles of Mr.. George Will
liam Curtis will remain as an especial attrac.

AGE OF JUPITER.

1t is probable that this globe, though
created before the earth, has preserved
its pristine heat much longer by reason
of its greater volume and mass. Is
this characteristic heat sufficiently in
tense to prevent all manifestations Of
life? And is the globe still at the
present time not in the condition of a
luminous star, but in the state OF a
dark and burning one, entirely liquid
or scarcely covered with a first har-
dened crust, as the earth was before
life began to appear ON its crust.

Advices from all parts of the country
indicate that the visitation of the
grippe is not confined to any particular
locality, nor, so far as observation
goes can it's spread be traced to any
special causes. 1t appears to be quite
at home in places where the tempera-
ture is high or low, or where there is
rain or sunshine. There are many
victims, but the malady has not as yet,
been so fatal as in past years. Good
nursing, with proper medical did for
the sick, and greater care than usual
on the part of we'll persons, are the
means of cure and prevention. 1t is
foolhardy to neglect all proper precau-
ton.

IS IT HABITABLE Z?

Or, indeed, is this colossal planet in
that condition of temperature through
which our own world passed through
the primary period of its geological
epoch, when life began to show itself
under strange forms, as animal and
vegetable forms of astonishing vitality
amid the commissions and tempests of
the newborn world The last is the
most rational conclusion that we can
draw from the most recent and exact
observations to which we are indebted
for what we know of the present state
of this vast world.

BY THE BARD OF TOWER HALL.

There's q good time coming, coming"
We have often heard it said,
But in vain we listen for it.
As it comes with nOiseless tread,
In its Journey. ever onward,
To the future distant shore.
In COlumbia's land of freedom
May it knock at every door,
With some comprehensive blessing,
In which all may take part.
So that, in the home of freedom,
There may be no aching heart.
We shall welcome its arrival,
When ourselves we strictly school
In the precept and the practice
OF the SaviOur's golden rule;
When an honest son of labor,
A mechanic poor commands
More respect than wealthy sluggards,
With their jeweled idle hands.
When worthy man in hOmeSpun
Shall be hOnOred more by all,
Than knaVe in shining brOadclOth,
Though it came from TOWER HALL,
Where a Bard in songs and sOnneIs,
Says for Clothing III he con.
Yet believe with ScOtia's poet,
1T is worth that makes the man."
Men of worth are always prudent,
And in buying Clothes 80 all
Go where prudence points to guide them,

SWIFT REVOLUTIONS.

In order to complete its orbit during
this period, it speeds around the sun
with a velocity of 100000 miles a day,
or a little more than miles a second.
This is little less than one-half the
velocity of the earth in its orbit. But
it revolves on its axis with very
great swiftness, for its day and night
combined only last about nine hours
and fifty five minutes.

CURIOUS FACTS.

In other words the inhabitants of
Jupiter enjoy only five hours of real
day, twilight included. "If," says

die in childhood, having lived but one
year on that planet, he would be as
old as a child who should die on our

A WORLD FOR A JovE.

That would not be a disagreeable
abode, although an anti-terrestrial one.
Indeed, it would be like the abode of
old Jupiter Olympus and his court.
But If we do not wish, in our concep-
ton of life to stray too far from the
borders of the terrestrial cradle, there
is nothing to prevent us from waiting
until the planet has become cool, like
our own, and enjoy purified atmOs-
phere which will permit its being COM
pared with the earth.

WHEN sNEE COMPLETES HIS RAILWAY.
He ViH Harness Niagara to GiUe Him
PO'Oer for His Trans Contin-
entail Road.

Ephemeral as the scheme NAV seem.
Electrical Inventor William Snee has
told Pttsburg Post reporter all about
plans which he claims to have matured
to construct an airline electrical rail
way from New York TO San francisco.
He says he has applied to the Worlds
Fair Commission for authority to con-
struct and operate a complete model Of
his transcOntinental electric line on the
great Exposition grounds in Chicago.
Describing his scheme in detail, Mr.
Snee says:
The eastern terminus of the route
will be at New York and the western
at San Francisco. The line will not
touch at either Philadelphia or Pitts
burg, but there will be feeders reach
from these two points to the trunk
line. A great many cities as large and
as important as Pittsburg will be COM
PEELED to reach the main lines by the
means of branch lines. The trunk line
to be built on capital not to exceed
500, 900, will pass north of Phila-
delphia about 100 miles, pass the Ale
ghany Mountains at low divide not
far from Sunbury, and pass through
Red Bank, about seventy five miles
north of Pittsburg. 1t will pass close
to the great lakes. and if it does not
touch Cleveland and Detroit will pass
only few miles south of them.
The line will pass right through
Chicago, or rather over, as it is the in
tention to build an elevated railway
over that city, which will be high
above its tallest buildings From Chi
cagO the road will touch at Omaha,
then at Denver, and from the latter
city will take an almost straight line
to San Francisco.

CURIOUS CHAPTER BY FAMOUS FRENCH
ASTRONOMER ON A PLANET NOW
IN KEN

Camille Flammarion writes thus in
the current number of the arena:
OF all the floating islands which
compose the celestial archipelago to
which the earth belongs, the planet
consecrated from the remOtest age to
Junpiter the mighty, king of gods aud
men, is the vastest, the most impor-
tant and the most majestic. This
colossal world of Jupiter has a diam
eter of about $4,000 miles, and which
surpasses that of our earth by more
than eleven times.

IS IT INHABITED

Whether Jupiter is inhabited now,
whether it was yesterday or whether
it will be tomorrow is of little conse-
quence to the grand eternal philosophy
of nature. Life is the object of its for
nation, as it was the object of the
earth's formation. Therein is every
thing. The moment, the hour, is of
little account.

1884 TIMES OUR SIZE.

The circumference of Juplter's world
at the equator, is about $4,000 miles.
The volume of this giant exceeds that
of the earth by 1884 times.
This immense globe, seen at the
distance we are situated from the moon
would appear to us with a diameter
about forty times larger than our sat
elite, and the surface of its disk would
embrace on the celestial vault an
extent 1900 times greater than that of
the full moon.

UP GRADE LIKE A ROCKET.

"My system is so complete and
nearly perfect that l can send a train
af cars up an unusually steep grade
with no perceptible slackening of
speed. The street car seems to work
hard against an ordinary street grade,
but my system will force a train of
ten cars up declivity with lightning
speed.
1.-THE most important thing will be
the construction of solid roadbed, 80
that it will withstand the shock which
comes from the meteor-like speed of
the trains. These trains are to speed
along over the track at the remarka-
bic rte of 200 miles an hour. The dis
lance from New York to San Francisco
can make the trip in twelve hours. 1t
is expected that there will be at least
one train which, in leaving New York
or San Francisco, will make the entire
distance from one point to the other
without a single stop.
There is no trolley pole and over
head wire, as in the case of the street
cars. The current passes directly to
the motor from third rail, which by
an ingenious arrangement is made a
complete conductor in all kinds OF
weather.

DERAILMENT SURE DEATH.

ut would be certain and sky-blue
ruin if train should jump the track
but the trains run by my system can
not get off the track. There is a slid
ing shoe or clutch on each truck which
will hold each car threatens to leave
the track, and which will hold each
car in the train, and of course the en-
tire train, to its place ON the rails.
Rails are to be made extra heavy, and
the roadbed is to be of the most sub
stantial kind, thus reducing the posi-
bility of accidents to a minimum.
Each motor (my own inventiOn)
will be of 200 horsepower capacity
There are to be two on each car. This
will give q train of ten cars a
capacity of 10000 horsepower, and
there will be no trouble in making a
speed of 200 miles an hour
