JuPiTER.s RED SPOT.
1T Can Be Easily Seen Through a Small
Telescope by Amateur Astronomers.

1t Can Be Easily Seen Through a Sman
Telescope by Amateur Astronomers.
All owners of telescopes, and their
number has become very large within
the past few years, will be glad to hear
that the strange red spot on Jupiter,
which was so much obscured last sum-
mer as, at times, to be invisible even
with the huge Lick telescope, is slowly
Frightening again. The appearance,
says the Youths Companion, is as if a
veil of clouds which had been drawn
sver it was being gradually removed
This is by no means the only time
that this singular spot on the giant
planet has behaved in a similar way
since it first made its appearance in
1878. just what the spot is. and what
the changes in its aspect mean, astrono-
mers do not yet know. But that it is
tremendous phenomenon upon the sur
face of the great world of Jupiter is ev
ident when a few figures concerning its
dimensions are recalled.
The spot is not less than thirty thou
sand miles long and at least seven thou
sand miles wide. In other words, it COW
ers an area more than equal to the
whole surface of the earth.
The fiery hue which it sometimes
presents for months together seems
very suggestive in view of the proba-
bility that Jupiter is planet yet in an
intensely heated condition, whose con-
tiuents and oceans, if it is ever to pos
sess any, have not yet been formed.
When at its brightest the red spot can
be well seen with a telescope: of only
three or four inches aperture, so that it
then forms suitable object for obser-
yatlon by amateurs.
This year Jupiter is particularly in
teresting on account of the distinctness
of its great system of belts, lying par
allel with its equator. Small tele-
scopes show the principal belts easily,
and it is very interesting to watch the
changes that take place in them from
time to time, particularly when it is re-
membered that,what one is looking at-is
probably vast masses of swirling clouds
IN the heated atmosphere of world
thatInay be said to be in the process of
creation.

LEGENDS ABOUT THE POTATO.
Queer Stories About Its Introduction
Into Russia and England.

Queer Stories About Its Introduction
Into Russia and England.
When potatoes were first introduced
into Russia by a Mr.. Rowland {the ex-
act date of the introduction of the
tuber into that benighted country being
a subject of controversy, but usually
set down at 17oI the people would
neither plant nor touch them. They
declared them to be the devils fruit,
and that they We're given to his Satanic
majesty on his complaint to God that
he had no fruit God told him to
search the earth for food Where
upon the poor devil fell to digging in
the earth and found potatoes growing
therein.
A similar legend seems to have OBJ
tanned credit among the staid British
ers in Berwickshirc England. In that
shire the introduction of potatoes is
popularity attributed to Sir Michael
Scott, one known all over Europe as
'sThe Wizard of the North According
to the stors Michael and the devil
formed copartnership and took the
lease of a farm on the Mertown estates,
called the 'sWhltehouse. Michael was
to manage the farm; the devil the cap
ital; the produce was to be divided in
the following manner:
The first year Michael was to have all
that grew above the ground, and the
devil all that grew beneath the surface;
the second year shares we're to be
divided in just the opposit, way. His
Satanic majesty, strange to say. was
badly beaten by the willy Michael. for
that parsonage, Will, trIc s.,at,ish fore
sight, sowed all the land {, wheat the
first year and planted it all in potatoes
the second So the poor devil got
nothing but wheat stubblc and potato
tops. How these absurd legends orig.
mated no one seems to l.now, but the
fact remains that the pc;:s:ntry of both

PRACTICAL ms, RANCE.
The Novel Scheme of Co Operation In
vented by Boston Genius

The Novel Scheme of Co Operation In
vented by a Boston Genius
A form of practical insurance against
want is under adyisement in this city,
in which large portion of the laboring
people should be deeply interested, says
the Boston Herald A working-man is
often thrown out of employment and re-
duced to great distress because he has
little or no money laid by, and is un-
able to provide for his board and lodg-
ing while out of employment. 1t has
been suggested that a peoples mercan-
tile company might be formed among
themselves which would undertake to
provide board and lodging with land.
lords at the rate of 81, SIS or Sc week,
on such terms that, after one month OF
regular payments, one weeks board at
half pay might be placed to the credit
of the interested party, so that if he
were out of work or sick, or otherwise
disabled, he might not be brought tc
discomfort because he could not pay his
board. At this rate in six months
man would be entitled to one and hab
months credit for board, and in one year
to three months credit for board, which.
at half rates, would only cost him the
price of one and half months board
anywhere.
This plan, if it could be carried out.
would be great relief to hundreds OF
working people who are suddenly disa-
bled or compelled to be idle. 1t would
be impossible for anybody to fall rapidly
in debt to such a company, and only
in cases of extreme misfortune
would persons be willing to sur
render their certain insurance o.
food and lodging, which would grow
larger as the years rolled by. A com
pany of this kind would need tr
have responsible backing in order tr
secure public confidence, but though i
has never been attempted, it could
easily be conducted on the basis which
is common to similar undertakings.
Payments would be made to landlords
the same as now, and the company,
after collecting twenty per cent. dis
count every week for month, could af
ford to give one weeks credit and d.
business on that basis. The credits
would not be transferable except by
consent of the company of directors
and would be dealt with by them in the
same manner as if they were life in
surance policy When such company
was established its range of restaurants
or lodging and board1ng-houSeS Woulo
be such as TO meet the wants of all
classes of people. This is a system OF
cooperative effort, but it would be p
company that could accumulate capital
and increase its resources in proper
tion to its membership. It would thus
be a safe investment for Individual
without involving them in any personal
responsibility beyond what their regular
payments would demand.
This organization is not yet in exis.
ence, but it is one of the first practice
suggestions for self-help which has
sprung out of the movement for Chris
tian socialism in Boston, and when it l.
properly developed and brought into
shape it looks as if it might meet pres
ent and pressing need among peopl,
who are not forehanded and are not ac
customed to making Investments fc-
themselves.

BUILT A RAILROAD ON FAITH.

From Sontll Texas came Il man who
built six hundred miles of railroad with
a five-dollar bill and faith, and the bill
was borrowed one. lie moved up from
Ccrpus~Christi to San Antonio with all
of his possessons heaped on two
wheeled cart, according to the st. Louis
Globc-Democrat. lie got charter to
build railroad from San Antonio to
Arkansas Pass. he graded u mile of it,
throwing a great deal more than one
shovel of dirt with his own hands The
receiver of another road loaned this in
defatiglble builder enough old rails
for a mile of track. In a distant part of
the state was purchased an old engine
which had been condemned six years
before and sent to the shops to be
wrecked for scrap iron. Two old cars
were picked up somewhere else at a
bargain. And that old engine, drawing
those old cars, steamed into San An
tonic. On engine and cars in bold let
ters were painted in lamp-biack: IS. A.
and A. Pr With one mile of old rail
track and with the equipment of the
old engine and two old cars Uriah Lott
started the Arkansas Pass system. There
has been some tall financiering in the
history of railroad building in this coun-
try, but there isn't anything which for
dazzling pluck quite approaches the
story of the building of this six hum
dred miles of road in South Texas. To
the one mile of track three were added
three miles by a dicl1er for some sec
ond-hand rails which street car COM
pany had bought from narrow guage
company. On this basis credit was
made with Pennsylvania rolling mill
for ten miles of rails. When they ar
rived there wasn't money enough in the
treasury to pay the freight. But it was
got somehow. Ten miles of track gave
foundation for bonds which built forty
miles more, and so the system grew into
its present proportions. This man who
built the Arkansas Pass system rode from
San Antonio to- Chicago at one critical
period in his enterprise without cent
in his pocket. He had transportation,
but he hadn't anything to buy food, and
he went through hungry.

He Goes on More Reliably Than Any

The Huntsville (Mo.) Herald says
that Bob Murphy, who lives with his

miles northeast of Huntsville, is an en-

the rooster as superior to all mechanic

made up their minds to go with the
Moberly Sunday-school excursion to
Columbia. To do this they had to get
up about three o'clock in the morning,
so as to catch the early southbound
train at Cairo for Moberly.
Fearing they might not awaken in
time, and not having much confidence
in the alarm clock, Bob went to the
chicken house, caught his favorite
gamecock, took him to the house,
placed the cock on the head of the bed
stead and retired, sleeping as soundly
and sweetly as an infant child with a
