FACTS ABOUT JUPITER.
Wonderful Fi-ur s Fi to Express Enough
 Concerning th. Great Planet.

Wonderful Fi-ur & Fa to Express Enough
 Concerning th. Great Planet.
 Our most eminent astronomers do ings on the great floating worlds out side of our own solar system. bat with in that mOnstrous aggregation every thing has been reduceI to certainty. The l1ingpin of the solar system is Jupiter, mighty Jupiter, the colossal giant of all the sun-lliSScd worlds" :" His diameter is about S9,C00 of our miles, being about eleven times that of our own globe; the circumference 275,O00 miles at the equator, which would give the giant volume exceed ing that of the earth by 1,2S4 times. Were it possible to bring the earth and Jupiter 50 close together that the dis tancc separating them would be no greater than that which now separates the earth from the moon-about 24O,- 000 milcs-what wondrOus sight would be in store for the residents of our lit tie globe. The worlI of Jupiter would appear to us to have diameter forty times larger than that of our usual mighty attendant, and the surface of his disk would occupy a space greater than that of l,G9o full moons And this giant of the planets is re- moved from the sun by distance of 49G,0J0.031 miles; has an orbit of more than 1000, 000, G3J miles in extent, and makSS q circuit of it's leStial track once every 1882 days. Thus it will be seen that a year on Jupiter is equal to eleven years, ten months and seven teen days on our globe. The immensi- ty of the world of Jupiter and its orbit may be approximately measured by this comparison: h order 90 complete its orbit in the time given above, it must speed around lae sun with ve- locity of iGj,0JJ m.les 8 day, or a little more than eight miles per second.

VARIATIONS IN LITERATURE.
Present Day Literary limitations of Musical Compost ions Common Years Ago.

 Present Day Literary limitations of Musical
 Compost ions Common Years Ago.
 Some twenty-five years ago there was a style of musical composition much ir vogue known as variations" says 8 writer in the Atlantic Monthly. 1t ap peared in dozen page sheets entitled "HOme, Sweet Home-with variations;' Coming Through the Rye with varia tions;'' "Let Me Kiss Him for His Mother (also with variations). The distinctive plan of these compositions and, whatever their individual char acteristic. they were, as a whole, with out variation-consisted, first, in a brace or two of banging prelude. close. ly followed by a simple little air that somebody else had written. This definitely announced the theme to be ''variated," " which was next heard be. hind thin screen of artfully arranged arpeggios. Then it donned deep dis. guise in the bass, to become barely recognizable in the treble with trills, ditto in bass, in the treble with runs, ditto in bass, and finally lost itself in a company of crashing chords so over towering that one could not be certain whether the original air had beer Coming Through the Rye" or "Let Me Kiss Him for His Mother"
 A similar sort of treatment has now invaded the art of letters: that is tc say, it has affected the entire twenty. six, as well as the select seven to be found upon the piano keyboard. It doesn't nowadays satisfy a writer tc say, merely: "One summer morning, fine and early, was walking through the woods" lie immediately goes on (taking the word early" as his key note): 'The sun had not been long above the horizon and the air was yet fragrant with last night's dew" Then, with fine and summer" as texts, he tells us: Everywhere were the green and luxuriant footprints of Iight-step- ping summer" Starting next from CD 'I," (2) walking" and @ woods, :" he informs us: "As my feet pressed the soft moss faint forest odors filled the air, the crackle of a dry stick was heard and a startled gray squirrel scampered up the giant oak on my left" Da capo: ''On suyh glorious morning l was glad simply to be alive, as were we an-young-rsen sun, trees, flowers, moss and little gray squirrel" :"
 And so, diluting and further diluting an idea, it is hard to tell just what degree of strength it may originally have possessed. The strength of the writer, it is, however, more easy to de- termine.

ALLBEN-ALI, THE COBeLER.
How He Lost Ills Wives and His Faith at '. the same Time.

How He Lost Ills Wives and His Faith at ,, the same Time.
 Ali-Ben-Ali was and is renegade. He believes in three gods, and drinks spirits of wine, corn and rye. He also believes that women have souls and that, while there are many houris in heaven, there are more in hell. When the muezzin calls to prayer he puts his thumb to his nose and spreads his fin gers out, which is his Turkish way of expressing derision. Once upon time he owned seven slaves, four of whom were white. Great men were his friends. Now he cobbles shoes, says Vance Thompson in the New York Ad- vertiser.
 He might have been happy man to this day had it not been for that devil of an Alcibiades. Ali-ben-Ali was sit ting. on his feet, looking through the open door out on the blue waters of the Bosporus and the low sandy shore beyond when the Creek came up He was a low-browed. Greek. He was peddling slippers with long rcd points which curled over like rams horns Ali was absorbed in thinking of his seven female slaves. He l5ic!zcl the Greek in the back violently two or three times, but otherwise ignored his presence.
 The subtle Creek departed. Under his lo~ brow he devised this revenge. He wrote a letter to the sultan.
 "Nen see about this" said the sul- tan. ''Nesrour, of with Ben Ais head and bring me his seven nice wives"
 Mesrour returned in half an hour, the seven slaves, of whom four were white, trailing after him.
 "Ben Ali is dead" he said.
 Mesr~ar lied. Ben Ali, by bribes, hs3scecured his escape and. disguised 'as aheale of tobacco, was stored away in hold of a vessel bound for New York. He is in New York now to prove that this tale is no lie. He cobbles shoes At times he drinks strong spirits. Then he curses tho com mander of the faithful and Alcibiades, the low -browed Creek. The sultan is Mohammedan, and him Ben Ali curses; the Greek is a Christian and is cursed of Ben Ali.

 Yachting costs a great deal of money. especially spca yachting as is indHlged in to captrre and defend the America cup, remarks the New York Tribune. 4 friend of Lord Dunraven said recently that the c2rl told him that the total cost to him to build, equip and run the Valilyrie, together with his travelling c--D.4ac5 to win the America cup, wJui,I be fully one hun dred and filJy thousand dollars. The syndicate which built the Vigilant subscribed one hundred thousand dol lars originally. and has been called upon for an assessment besides, so that the total outlay upon the cup de- fender is not far from the amount eX- pended on the Valayrie. Add to these sums the money which the Jubilee, Coloai2 and Pilgrim cost their owners, and the total cost of the latest struG- gle for the Americas cup amounts to almost five hunJrej thousand dollars
 The honor of -hol ing the Amcr.ca s cup, however, cannot be rec:loaed by dollars and ccnJo, and American yacht men would not nave been wlilIng 10 part with the trophy at any cost. The practical .bcneNU to boat building and the pleasure ard proAt to be derived from pure a.. port must be added to the ere s.-ro4lt.

But After Being Cured He Couldn't Even
 Bear the Ticking O. Watch.
 A wcll-known physician recently told the following story to an Indianapolis Sentinel reporter:
 | "A prominent Marion county farmer discovered that he was gradually get ting deaf. He couldn't hear the hired man blast stumps with giant powder. He came to my office and made signs that he wanted his ears examined. examined them, and in an instant, all was caused by the gathering of a waxy substance in the ears. When 1 re- moved that obstruction of the hearing 1 was surprised at the result. The olu gentleman jumped from the chair where he had been seated and put both hands to his ears. He couldn't stand the noise from the street and the least sound startled him. He was one of the most pleased men I ever saw. Be went away and it was several weeks before l saw him again. He called at the office with his wife and she did all the talk ing. She hardly raised her voice above q whisper and every now and then she looked at her husband in timid way She said that for several days he woulG not allow the least bit of noise in the house, and that he butchered some pigs before their time because of being affected by their squeal His daughter and her husband had lived with then for two years and they had to leave or account of the crying of their six months-old baby There were two clocks in the house, one in the dining room and one in the bedroom These he stopped on account of the ticking The clock in the bedroom was an alarm clock. It went off one night. He jumped from bed and nearly broke his neck by falling head first on the floor The woman said that she had to keep the house as quiet as a country grave yard for more than two weeks, for it was that long before her husband be- came accustomed to hearing. His daughter, however, has gone back to the farm with her baby, and the clocks have been started again"

HOW TO KILL CROcODlLES.
Shoot Them or Catch Them on a Line and
 Take an AK.

Shoot Them or Catch Them on a Line and
 Take an AK.
 There arc two ways of killing croco- diles, writes an eX-residenG of India. One is by shooting with rifle, but the most satisfactory way of dealing with them, besides being far the most sport ing, Is to bait good large hook with a bird or small animal and fasten it by a chain to a good long rope, the end of which is firmly plcl1eted, the rope be- ing coiled and the bait lain in shallow water. There must be lots of slack line, as the crocodile does not swallow anything at once, but sexes it and takes it into deep water to gorge. A number of lines may be laid and looked up in the morning or cool of the even ing.
 When hooked 1t will take a good many men to haul a crocodile out, and as he resents the operation and can use his tail as well as his jaws, one or two sportsmcn will find considerable enter tainment in dispatching him with spears.
 Some crocodiles grow to enormous size, and their maws always contain round white stones and often triCkets, the relics of inside passengers. The writer assisted at the death of g. not extraordinarily large "snubnose" which had six women's rings in her.

On the Safe Side.

A well-lknown lawyer on circuit in the north of England, curious to know how a certain juryman arrived at his verdict, meeting him one day, ventured to ask. "Well," replied he, ''I'm a plain man, and I like to be fair to everyone. I don't go by what the wit- nesses say, and don't go by what the lawyers say, and don't go by what the judge says; but looks at the man in the dock, and I says: He must have done something or he wouldn't be there, 50 brings 'em all in guilty"

In the Austrlnn lArmr.

The polyglot character of the Aus. trian army was abundantly shown the other day when the ancient custom of solemnly swearing in the recruits in the presence of the troops was revived, after having been discontinued since 1868. In Vienna alone the formula of oath to the colors had to be admins tered and read out in nine languages, bo-wit: German, Hungarian, Croatian, Bohemian, Polish, Ruthenian. Rou- manian, Servian and Turkish, while the religious part of the ceremony was conducted by Roman Catholic. Creek Catholic and Greek orthodox priests, Protestant pastors, Jewish rabbis and Mahometau ulena.

A DECEPTIVE TARGET.
It Costs Something to Learn to Hit the
 Dangling Ball.

It Costs Something to Learn to Hit the 1 Dangling Ball.
 A shooting gallery peculiarity that has recently came into popularity con- 5ists in q very light and fragile ball of blown glass. or in some cases a hollow i cgg shell suspended from a string. This always attracts the ineXperi- cnccd marllsmen, because the natural destructivcness inherent in human na- ture causes him to prefer to shoot at something which he can smash rather than at target that gets no harm from his accuracy.
 Therefore, says the New York Sun, he wastes his three shots, at one and two-thirds cents shot, not on targets, but On the suspended mark. Ard he never hits it.
 The experienced man in rife range gunnery wastes no time on the de- ceitful ball. He knows that it can't be hit. Probably he knows it from ex- perience, for it is one of those facts that no man will believe until he has tried it for himself.
 The reason for it is that a very light hollow glass ball, or blown egg if properly hung on slender thread, will dodge any bullet that ever came from gun barrel. The air that the bullet piles up in front of it blows the light mark out of the projectile's path until it has passed, after which the target swings back to it's original po- sition.
 This is very provoking for the marks man, who, if he be good shot, has the doubtful satisfaction of seeing his target execute three quick dodges at the aforementioned price of one and two-thirds cents per dodge
 There is nothing, however, so re- numcrative to the proprietor as these pendent marks, for the gunners, pro vol1ed at their lack of success, will keep on and on and on trying to hit mark compared to which pin head would be a barn door shot, and they only give it up in disgust when the cost be- gins to tell upon them or when some wiser friend explains their lack of sue cess.
 Two dollars is cheap price to pay for the knowledge that one of these hanging targets is better mark for a baseball than for bullet.

COURAGE IN SURGERY.
Why Experienced Practitioners Are Cool
 While Operating.

While Operating.
 An old surgeon, engaged for the mo- mcnt in dissccting q cold roast quail, and making, it -anst be confessed. only an indifferent job of it. had been lis tening incidentally to the conversation of his table companions who were dis cussing the calmness and nerve dis played by the average practitionerdur- ing surgical operations, says the New York Herald. Both agreed that the poise and coolncss shown by surgeon at times were extraordinary and hard to understand.
 s.Now, friends, if you will permit me-" interrupted the surgeon at this point. T would ike to tell you that there is nothing extraordinary about it The nerve as you cgll it. Of the surgeon under such circumstances is the most natural thing in the world. It is not display of calmness which has been put on for that occasion. or an exhibition of courage summoned mp for an unusual emergency, but simply the normal dc1acanor of q practical. mattcr-of-fact man who knows what he has to do and how he is going to do it.
 ''The trouble with many people who marvel at what they call a surgeons courage is that they fail utterly to comprehend the conditions under which he performs his work. They imagine that he is experimenting, or that he doesn't know his ground, or that he will cut something that he ought not to cut. Nothing could be further from the facts. No movement in science or mechanics is preceded by more accurate forelznowlcdgc of its results than the average operation in suri, y. There is no such thing as guessworl1 about it. The operator knows he is performing an operation which is based upon an exact science. He follows rules which apply to all cases, and is secure in the confidence that causes which have produced cer- tain effects in gwen instances will do so in all, others.
 "Why, then, should there be any need in his work for extraordinary courage? There are cases, of course, so critical or so unusual as to excite even the calmest and most self-con- tained operator, and when these arc under treatment the surgeons powers of self-control are frequently taxed to their utmost limit. To the man who, in such a case, can wield the knife without tremor, when life itself de- pends upon the accuracy and delicacy of his touch, we must award the praise due to real heroes. But in the aver age case, say of amputation or of skull fracture involving cranial operations, the surgeon neither needs nor possesses more than the courage of an intelli- gent. sincere man, who knows his duty and has learned how to perform it. His technical knowledge of anatomy and it's methodical habit of work ac- custom him to conditions which alarm and excite non-profcssional minds, and he goes about his task with a certain quiet, vigorous, assertive confidence in the result of his movements which the observer is quite likely to mistake for marvellous courage summoned up for that particular occasion. It is courage of certain sort, I confess-the cour- age of absolute confidence in the in- fallibility of the science he repre- sents."
