MAKE 1T LASTING.
A Strong Anti-Cigarette Sentiment
Prevailing.

The object for which TIE CALLS cru
sade against cigarette smoking by minors
was started. viz: the creation OF strong
public sentiment against the practice
among the boys. has been happily success
Iul. Thanks to the cooperation Oh the
School Department, the teachers. heads OF
families, men of science, the clergy and
other broad-visioned people, there has been
implanted in the public schools a healthy
growth of anti-cigarette sentiment. A
mighty host, nearly 10000 strong, have en-
rolled themselves against this dangerous
modern vice.
The sentiment has been Implanted. 1t
remains for the School Directors TO foster
It's growth. Its moral, mental a nd physical
importance is undOubted. All classes,
even the dealers in cigarettes, concede the
degrading influence of the little drugged
cylinder. Some few dealers might think
IL polite to appear TO protest on the score
OF So-called trade principles" but at heart
all admit the danger of pandering to this
bOylSh temptation and are ready to approve
strong action to benefit the rising genera
ton.
In the blaze Of such lofty common pur-
pose as the good of our boys" all OpDo-
sltion is half-hearted. People are unani-
nous in agreeing that cigarettes are bad
for young boys. All fnesse cannot affect
that conclusion The BOYS have them
selves acknowledged it in black and white.
In DAY or two the Board OF Education
Will consider the question of helping the
anti-cigarette movement. The only issue
is the meaus 10 be taken to that end. II
would seem that the preliminary work of
moral suasion has already been effected,
as shown by the enthusiastically signed
pledges. Nothing appears left the board
but to approve that act OF manly renuncia-
tion. BY voting in favor of individual
recognition of each boy who has publicly
professed his anti-cigarette faith, the board
will confirm that faith. Any united action
III the way of rendering the movement
permanent will be popular and the people
will note with interest the attitude OF each
member of the board on the subject.
This following are the latest mbers of
the anti-cigarette league:

JUPITER AND SATELLITES.
Professor Barnard Tells of the
Cloud Covered Planet.

Professor +. i. Barnard lectured last night
in Pioneer Hall under the auspices of the Cali
fornia Pioneer Society on The Planet Jupiter
and His Satellite System" He described the
peculiar features of the planet as seen through
the telescope. Its surface is in variable cOndi-
tion and is changing constantly. When seen
through the telescope it is disk about as large
as the tbumbndil.
After detailing the belt markings and the
spots on the northern and the southern hemis.
pheres, he described the large red SPOT which
in 1873 appeared south OF the great equatorial
belt, eiiptical in form and sharply defined.
Ordinary markings on Jupiter are transient.
but this red spot was the most prominent OBJ
1ect on the planet for three or four years. Ii
was about 5000 miles wide and 10000 miles
long. its area being equal to The surface OF the
earth.
Science has not learned what this spot was,
The accepted theory is that the planet of Jupi-
ter ls hot bOdy-not heated 10 the point of in
candescenee, but warm enough to convert all
The water on its surface into vapOr, which fills
the atmosphere with a dense strata of cloud
surface. 1hIS Is changing all the time. The
presence Of the red spot was perhaps due 10
some sort OF an eruption, which dissipated the
clouds; that Is TO say, made hole through
them, and the spot was the visible surface of
the planet not obScured by the steam

days. Roughly estimated, their velocity is
four miles a minute, four times as fast as
hurricane on earth. The greatest motion of the
clouds is not on the equator belt, but in a very
narrow zone in 81 deg. north latitude.
The four bright satellites of Jupiter are in
every respect similar TO our moon. revolving
around the planet just as the moon revolves
