TRIP TO JUPITER.
tContinuedl
The following message WAS received
by telepathy from "Pa" concerning
their haps and mishaps during the jour
ney and on their arrival at the planet:
I'VE had several accidents, but none
OF them proved serious.
"The ray Of light which Flossy mount
ed was so refracted that Ma became
quite alarmed and thought she would
lose her beautiful daughter forever and
aye. But when the ray touched the
dense atmosphere which surrounds Jupi-
ter. it was again turned out OF its course
and landed her safely on the planet.
"On account OF Bertha's very great
weight, the ray on which she rode
broke just as she was passing the moon,
leaving her fall upon it, where, like
Robinson Cruso OF old, she will have to
wait till the sun throws ray of light at
her by which she may return to the
Earth.
Nothing else OF very great import
ance happened, except that number
Of the youngsters got sick because Of the
rapid motion. or course those who
started first arrived here first. And as
the rotary motion OF Jupiter is very
rapid, those who got here first were on
the other side Of the planet when the
last ones arrived And though we have
been here five Of your days or twelve OF
our days, not until to-day did we all
come together.
Eta and Ella find the planet to be
the most beautiful world imaginable,
one Of perpetual Spring. The flowers,
which resemble those OF the Earth, are
ever in bloom. When one flower fades
it is Immediately replaced by another.
| They see five moons every night and
therefore the nights are as light as the
days. They also witness four solar
eclipses every day and four lunar
eclipses every night. The animals
are very much like those seen on the
Earth, except that the horses have five
feet and can travel faster than the fast
est racers on Earth. We are afraid
when the time comes for our homeward
journey that the aforesaid will be unwil-
ling to return to that comparatively
dull and gloomy globe.
Several other members OF the family
have found Jupiter an entirely different
place where they landed. The atmos-
phere being so dense they haven't even
caught sight Of the moons or sun. Since
the light and heat OF the sun received
here are just one twenty-seventh as
great as that received by the Earth
they can hardly tell whether they are
black or white. Although the heat re-
ceived here from the sun is very small
compared with that received by the
Earth, yet the place is not as cold as
Room IA was last Friday and Monday,
because the planet has not entirely
cooled Off.
We know that when our explorations
here are ended it will not be hard to
coax the members to return to that
bright and beautiful planet called
Home. They are even now getting
homesick and will be glad to return to
Room Ia, cold as it may be.
"Oh! forgot to tell you that as we
passed the Asteroids, farmer, wealthy
enough to own one OF the minor planets,
called to us and asked us to stop and
take dinner with him and view his fine
corn fields. But We told him that il
he was in the same position from the
sun we would likely stop on our return
trip.
1--WE also met with a kind invitation
from the king of Mars as we passed his
domain. We said nothing would please
us more, but as we had started for Jupi-
ter we thought we had better go there
and return as quickly as possible"
