Facts and Theories Concerning the Hug
hut Distant Planet.

Taking the earth's mean distance
from the sun at ". 196. $50 miles. as given
by Hardness. the mean distance of Ju

miles. The eccentricity of its elliptical
orbit being O.04S25. its distance from
the sun at perihelion is 459. 5O7. 100 miles
and at aphelion 506, 100. $50 miles. Be
tween it's greatest and least distances
therefore. there is difference of 49,
592. 420 miles. or about one-half the
earth's mean distance from the sun.
The inclination of .Iupiter's orbit to the
plane of the ecliptic being only de-
gree, is minutes 4 seconds-or less than
that of any of the other planets, with
the exception of Uranus-thc planet
never departs much from the ecliptic,
and hence it was called by the ancients
the ''ecliptic planet" Its period of
revolution round the sun is Ii years.
BIAS days.
The inclination of it's axis of rotation
being nearly at right angles TO the plane
of it's orbit. there are practically no
seasons in this distant world, and the
only variation in the heat and light ut
any point on its surface would be that
due to the comparatively small varia-
ton in its distance from the sun re.
ferred to above. Its mean distance
from the sun being j.2OaS times the
earth's mean distance from the sun. it
follows that the heat and light received
by Jupiter is ~ times (5.2 squared) less
than the earth receives. The amount
of heat received from the sun by this
planet is very small, and We're it con-
stituted like the earth. its surface
should be perpetually covered by frost
and snow. Far from this being the
case, the telescope shows it's atmosphere
to be in Il state of constant and wonder.

These extraordinary changes cannot
possibly be due to the solar heat, and
they have suggested the idea that the
planet may perhaps be in a red-hot
state. II miniature SUM- in fact. glowing

liancy of its SURFACE. the ''albedo," as it
is called. and its small density--less

be a cash transaction. And what is
true in England is for the most part
true on the continent of Europe. If

slfop-kccpers entertain pet theory
that the people for whom the books
are kept should be made to pay the

equitable plan obtains of encouraging
cash business by giving the cash GUS

who pays his bills but once u month or

The worst thing said about her was
that she had the sweetest voice In

them was the young bachelor, DIR.

Upon her rested the responsibility of
calling the young doctor; but 1t was an

thought himself the deadly enemy Of
