GIANTS AMONG THE PLANETS

mighty Jupiter, Whose Diameter Is Elev-
ell Times That OF tho Earth.
Our most eminent astronomers do not
pretend to give us exact reclonings on
the great floating worlds outside of
our own solar system, but within that
monstrous aggregation everything has
been reduced to certainty. The king
PIN OF this solar system is Jupiter,
mighty Jupiter, the colossal giant of
all the sun-kissed worlds" His diam
eter is about $4,000 of our miles, being
aboct eleven times that of our own
globe; the circumference 275, 900 miles
at the equator, which would give the
giant volume exceeding that of the
earth by 1854 times. Were it possible,
says the st. Louis Republic, to bring
the earth and Jupiter SO close together
that the distance separating them
would be no greater than that which
now separates the earth from the
moon-about 100000 miles = what u
wondrous sight would be in store for
the residents of our little globe. The
world of Jupiter would appear to us to
have diameter forty times larger
than that of our usual mighty attend
ant, and the surface of his disk would
occupy space greater than that of 1 600
full moons. And this giant of planets
is removed from the sun by distance
of 400, 100000 miles; has an orbit of
more than 1000, 900, 900 miles in extent,
and makes a circuit of it's celestial
track once every 1882 days. Thus it
will be seen that @ year on Jupiter is
equal to eleven years ten months and
seventeen days on our globe. The i'm
mensity of the world of Jupiter and it's
orbit may be approximately measured
by this comparison: In order to com
plete its orbit in the time given above
it must speed around the sun with a
velocity of 10000 miles day, or lit
tie more than eight miles per second.

cushion is the one thing which can be
made at home and be as effective and

BEDROOM FURNISHINGS.

They Should BE Simple But Neat, and
Scrupulously Clean.
In furnishing q bedroom we must
remember that we have to do with the
lungs of the house and, therefore, must
place no distractions to the entrance
of pure fresh air. For this reason cur
tains may be more properly dispensed
with in this room than in any other.
The bedstead should be of metal. Very
pretty ones are now made of iron
enameled in different colors with gilt
or brass knobs. The most restful color
for the eyes and brain is green. The
curtains, if they can be afforded, should
be of the Japanese crepe, which is
daintiness itself in this coloring. Be
sides the bedstead small chiffonier
and deep chest OF drawers, with two
chairs. are all that will be required, but
a washstand and screen to stand before
it are desirable additions. Above the
chest of drawers long, narrow mirror
can be hung crossways, and you have
q serviceable combination of bureau
and dressing-table. It is better judg-
ment to invest in comfortable springs,
mattress, pillows and blankets than to
fritter money away on painted cologne
bottles and elaborate toilet-sets. The
coverings of chiffonier, bureau, wash
stand and bed should be easily laun-
dered, for absolute cleanliness is one of
the conditions of restful sleep.-Ladies'
Home journal.

but the most effective are the oblong
cushions with a feminine looking frill
of lace all around them. For service
as well as ornament blue denim, with
initials or design worked on in
scarlet, is very pretty.
A nice addition to the big rocking
chair is the long, round pillow covered
with velvet or plush and finished with
a puff of soft silk at each end. This
can be hung by means of a ribbon or a
fancy cord over the back of the chair
and is exceedingly pretty as well as
useful. Green velvet and light blue or
pink silk is a favorite combination,
blue and brown is effective and two
shades of one color always harmonic
well. Care should be taken to make
the pillow perfectly round

A QUEER RAIN THEORY.

Precipitation from tho Soldiers Given az u
Cause of Showers After Bnttle.
A most extraordinary theory has re-
Gently been propounded, says the Bos-
ton Globe, to show the reason why
rain usually falls after a severe battle
has been fought.
The ancients used to attribute the
phenomenon to the generosity of some
diety who was kind enough to make
the attempts to wash away the traces
OF mans degradation as soon as pos
sible, and later on, when cannon came
to be used as a means of destroying
life, the detonations of these machines
were said to cause the wonderful down
pour of rain.
But more prosaic, up to date people
OF to-day put it down to perspiration.
And this is how they go to prove it:
One soldier will, in the course of
twelve hours fighting, give off six
gallons of water. He drinks much.
Thirst for gore, glory, and water go
together on such occasions, and the
total amount of moisture given off by
one man is said to be sufficient to
cover twelve square feet threc-quar-
ters of an inch deep.
Now, of course, all this perspiration
evaporates and goes up into the at
mosphere. The atmosphere, becoming
unduly charged with moisture, offers
itself on the slightest provocation to
the formation of clouds, and in nine
cases out of ten rain falls Immediately
condensation sets in.

Not all the people who haunt the
capitol are office-seekers, but a goodIy
proportion of them are, says the Wash
ington Star. They como from all sec
tions of the country and represent all
classes of society. OF all the preat
concourse that streams through the
corridors of the vast building day after
day the ofiice-seelkers are the most for
lorn looking. They importune their
senators and representatives over and
again and refuse to be turned from
the phantom they are pursuing. Before
congress meets every day the general
reception-room to the south end of the
senate chamber is full to crowdinr
With those waiting to send in their
cards to senators. A majority of these
are after Office, either for themselves
or for relatives or friends. BY the time
the invocation of the chaplain is fin

fall in showers spon the desks of the
statesmen. These gentlemen do not
have time to go through their mail be-
fore they are interrupted by callers.
The visitors hand their cards to one or

and assistants and retire to the great
leather-covered chairs and sofas scat

await the result. 1t is a noticeable
fact that women largely predominant
in these waiting and anxious throngs
about the senate entrances. Perhaps
1t is thought that their earnest solicit

control the dispensation of official
