William. Mckinley also to a joint de-

THE HYPNOTIC EYE.
And the Man Who Likes to Test II on
the Circus Animals

AHS OINho AUiU1di5s
The man who wants to test the pow.
er of the human eye on savage beasts
is legion, and he affords no end of
amusement for the attendants at the
circus, who are always on the lookout
for him. Often he may be detected
standing before the cage Of a lion,
gazing intently straight into the eyes
Of the dignified old beast, who gazes
back with Indifference and finally
shifts his eyes, not because he feels
any mystic influence, but because
something else has attracted his at
tention.
A story is told of a man who tried
the hypnotic trick on an ostrich. At
first the bird crouched down and hut-
tered his wings nervously, but made
no other manifestation for some time.
a few hours later the body Of the
man was found with the huge bird al
ternately stamping and sitting ON it,
Another is told Of a man who tried to
outgaze leopard, with the result that
the animal made a fierce charge
against the bars Of his cage and at the

ance that brought the attendants hur-
rying to investigate the trouble.-Har-

The PLANET JUPITER.
What the Man Of Science Has to Say
About Its Wonders.


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-fve feet and that
he exists for about 500 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
our 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 Jupiters surface, others far Off
They have atmospheres like ours on
earth, and moonlight on Jupiter is
indeed a 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.
