Atri,sphere of Plants.

Owing to the high gravitation, the
atmosphere of such planets as Jupiter
and Sa." is very dense, and so
loaded with 7aque particles that we
cannot see through it to the body of
the planet within. But though the
body is beyond our scrutiny, we can
infer that it is very hot, even at the
surface; for if the solar system is
formed Gas is assumed) by condensa-
ton of nebUia, the heat of condensa-
ton must be proportionstely greater
and longer retained in a large world
than in a sail one. Thus, for the
purpose Of L = on these r-eat planets,
the energy rSiiating froa. within may
be available and, indeed may largely
exceed the energy received from the
sun at so great distance.

The Arabic Day.

The Arabic day begins at sunset.
and the particular one which begins
any month is that on which the new
moon is first seen after sunset. Apart
from the cloudiness of the sky there
may be and saaraliy is considerable
difficulty in seeing the crescent, lost
as it must always be in the radiance
of the set sun. and consequently
there is always uncertainty for some
time after sunset whether the day
that has just begun is to be reck-
oned with the last month or as the
first of a new month.
