A new computation of the period of the
fifth satellite of Jupiter, discovered by
Mr. Barnard in 1892. shows the extreme
accuracy Of astronomical calculations
when they are based upon long series
of continuous observations. This compu-
tation deals very confidently with thou
sandths of a second. the period of the lit
tie moon being set down at II hours, 81
minutes, % seconds and 647-1 900 Of
second. The satellite whose time OF rev.
olution Is thus accurately determined
moves with great speed. Its distance
from Jupiter's center is about 112.5OO
miles, and its path is practically circle.
so that the distance which It travels dur
ing revolution is. In round numbers
353,2 $50 miles. As it nccomplishes this
distance in less than ~ hours its velocity
is almost 500 miles minute, and this,
singularly enough. is about the same as
the average velocity of Jupiter in his rev.
olution around the sun.-Youth's Com
panion.

Major Hilton Says People
Must Work in the
Spirit to Accom-

Notwithstanding the fact that Major
George A. Hiltons evangeiistio meetings
ut West Church have been successful from
The standpoint Of Of.attendancs. There Is q
lack OF spiritual feeling which he says
must exist before God can be gloriflsd.

by concerted personal action can tho de-
cidcd good be accomplished.
Last night he spoke of"The Fruit OF the

He said new relationship is established
