THE PLANET JUPITER.
What the Man of Science Has to Say
About Its Wonders.

ABOUT IT'S "onoerS.
The Jolly Jovians are said to be real
tiles and not myths. Not only are
there said to be inhabitants on Jupiter,
but also on some OF his moons. in the
midst Of which the vast planet. 1900
times the size of the earth. spins at
such tremendous speed that it causes
around the equator a furious wind that
blows perpetually at the rate Of $50
miles an hour. Those who believe In
the Jovian say that his height runs
from fifty to fifty-five feet and that
he exists for about 800 to 1000 of
earth years. The Jupiter year. how
ever, consists of IA months. The
oceans of Jupiter. torn into fury by the
hurricanes. would pay no attention to
one moon such as moves the tides of
cur earth. and it takes. no fewer than
five of these satellites to perform this
work for Jupiter. They travel at va
rious rates Of speed, some flying close
to Jupiter's surface. others far off.
They have atmospheres like ours on
earth, and a moonlight on Jupiter is
indeed glorious sight. for these
moons have variety of color; two are
blue, one Is yellow. and one red. Jupi-
ter needs all her moons at night for
illumination, for without them her five
hours of darkness would be black in
deed. So distant is the sun that broad
daylight is hardly brighter than twi
light on earth. and one lone moon
would not reflect enough Of the suns
rays to guide the Jovian footsteps.

for seven or eight years he has been

OF late years there has been a
growing doubt of Van Brunt's guilt,
and some Of the older lawyers in
Harvey county have been making in

TO prove that Van Brunt was prob

Governor Hoch has been deter
mined for some time to pardon the
man, but has hesitated because it was
nat deemed safe to allow him to be at
large. as he is unable to take care of
himself Now one of the rich farmers
in the county, for whom he used to
work when a boy, has offered to take
Van Brunt to his home and care for
him as long as he lives. The pardon
was secured largely through the in
f1uence Of Mrs. Allie Bertenshaw of
Kansas City, who, when a little girl,
was brought up with Van Brunt in her
fathers family. Van Brunt will be
taken to the home of Mrs. Berten-
Shaw'S parents.
