As rode along in one of the suburban

stranger happened awhile ago. Nearby
lived an old man who had received many
kindnesses from the true hearted mistress
of the cottage, who took compassion upon
his necessity. Early one morning this
lady woke in great alright. She had
dreamed that the old man was calling her
in frantic haste to come and help him.
She looked at the clock and noted the
time. 1t was 4:30. Later on the lifeless
body of the old man was found in a well

Observations of JuDiter,

Jupiter at all times is without doubt the
most interesting of all the planets, not only
on account of his gigantic size and system
of satellites, but more on account of the
actual benefits derived from observation
of the movements of his satellites which
for purposes of navigation double discount
for precision the finest of chronometers.
There are continuous transits, eclipses or
occultations which the national observa
tory at Washington has predicted with alb.
solute accuracy for at least two years in
advance, so that in any part of the world
one may, by observation of the system of
Jupiter, ascertain the mean time at Wash
ington, verifying or disproving observa-
tions taken by other methods. On account
of the great distance at which this system
is situated, the angle for paradox is So
slight that any observation taken from
any part of the earth will be virtually as
if taken from the center.-Detroit Free

been observed by those who have assembled
about five miles above the earth's surface
that the sky appears of dark inky hue,
