the four larger moons, which were
discovered by Calico, are easy OBJ
tects for even the smallest telescope,
and n Is delightful thing to watch
them throughout an evening, for they
move 50 rapidly that in the course Of
two or three hours their change OF
place becomes very evident They
may be seen approaching Jupiter on
the eastern side, or receding from him
on the western: once In a while one
OF them will be observed to disappear
as Il goes into eclipse in Jupiter's
shadow at considerable apparent dis
lance away from him. and with a
good telescope their little round black
shadows may often be observed NOV
Ing slowly across his bright disk,
ms they come between him and the

IN the space covered by one OF those
black dots, he would witness total
eclipse Of the sun. Such ecllpses are
very common phenomena for the In
habitants of Jupiter (if any such IN
habitants there be) on account OF the
number Of Jupiters moons, and the
comparative rapidity Of their revolu-
lions about the planet.
1t is also interesting TO reflect, while
looking at Jupiter that that planet
is more than 1900 times as larage as
the earth, ON which we dwell. Its Inn
mense colored belts lying parallel
with its equator are very interesting
and wonderful objects for those who
possess telescopes of three or four

Shrinkage in Volume of Business and Narrowing Limits in Every Way Sur prising.

Shrinkage in Volume of Business and
 Narrowing Limits in Every Way Sur
 prising.
 New York, Feb. 2S,-To-day's stock market does not offer much subject for comment. The shrinkage in the volume of business and the narrowing of the limits of the market in every way were surprising. The aggregate dealings for the day fell to lower lever than has been touched for many months past, How far this was due to the small rem nant of the week left after yesterdays holiday must be partly matter for con- Jueture. There is ground for believing that the general speculative situation is exercising a growing effect of repres- sion on the market activity. The high opening to-day in this market was due to sympathy with the London market, which had advanced Americans while New York was taking a holiday yester- day. These advances abroad were due due to a number of circumstances, in- cluding the successful completion of a stock exchange settlement without se- rious damage, somewhat more hope ful feeling over the Moroccan confer ence and the cabling of orders from New York yesterday, which might be made sharply effective on prices in London owing to small floating sup ply of American securities there. A notable fact in the sagging of prices in the New York market was the small offerings of stock necessary to effect it. Some influence in this result was at- tributable to the report of the insur- ance Investigating committee. Some of the recommendations of the committee regarding securities to be held by in- surance companies, while not threaten Ing any immediate results in the stock market, promise the ultimate necessity of marketing very large holdings. Some restriction is likely also upon the fu- ture activity of insurance companies in financial measures which have been of fostering effect in the stock market af- fairs in the past.
 The adoption by the house. at Wash ington of the resolution of inquiry into coal-land holdings by railroad compa- nies kept alive the sense of vigilant guardianship of corporation affairs on the part of legislative authorities A similar influence was produced by the fixing of an eighty-cent gas rate for New York city by the New York state gas commission.
 Rates for time loans were firm to-day and foreign exchange rates were high -er. The gradual sagging tendency of the market extended into the last half hour of the trading, at which time low prices of the day were generally touch ed, Between that time and the closing of the market there was an abrupt re- covery which restored prices of num- Der of the prominent active stocks to the highest level of the day and made the closing firm. The late buying move ment was unexplained by any news de- velopment.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $1,9S0,000,

Canal At One Time Planned From Nor
 wich Into Massachusetts.
 An interesting fact has been recently brought to light by Calvin D. Paige of Southbridge, fact known to compara- lively few persons In this vicinity, says the Webster, Mass, Times. This fact is no other than that 80 years ago. al most as far back as the memory of the oldest settler can reach, there was a movement set on foot to built canal from Norwich through Webster, South- bridge, Sturbridge and Fiskdale to Brookfield. This is the purport of papers which have just been dis covered by Mir. Paige.
 In those days a canal such as was proposed would have been of inesti- mable value. With none of the so- called modern conveniences, trans portation of freight by overland routes was both tedious and expensive. With view to overcoming this difficulty this new enterprise was planned. The promoters of the scheme were all men of executive ability and all prominent in their time. They met at the home of William Healy, the site of the form CT Dresser hotel in Southbridge.
 A copy of minutes of this meeting is in the possession of Mir. Paige, and forms an interesting bit of history, dat ing back to the younger days of South bridge, and even before the incorpora- tion of Webster as town, the section now known as Webster being then a part of Dudley. The object of the meeting was to provide for survey oi the country between Norwich and Brookfield up the ouinebaug river, A committee of seven was chosen to act in conjuction with another committed
