People Of Other Planets.

Calculations as to the size required
for human beings on the other planets
vary widely according to the basis
of reckoning. According to those
based upon the attraction of gravity,
Jupiter should be peopled by pygmles
of % inches. Wolfus, on the other
hand, argued that Goliath himself
would be accounted decidedly under
sized upon that planet. He worked
from the feebleness of the suns light
there, which would demand that the
pupil of the eye should be much more
dilatable. Since the pupil stands in
constant proportion to the ball of the
eye, and that to the entire body, said
WOlfius, a little calculation shows
that an average Jovian must be nearly
thirteen feet seven inches tall--not
quite four inches shorter than Og,
king of Bashan. according to the
measure of his bedstead given in Deu-
teronomy.

A REVOLVING SAFE.
Ingenious Device to outwIt the En-
terprlsinp BURGLAR.

Since no metal has yet been de-
vised which can resist the action of
the oxyhydrogen or the oxyacetylene
flame, ii became necessary to find
soLe other means of keeping burglars
from safes and strong boxes. so the
revolving safe has been evolved. II
consists of a steel box inclosed on all
sides and arranged to revolve on ball
bearings, and inclosed in a spherical
compartment, built of strong masonry
and closed. In the inclosing masonry
and in the strong-box doors are con-
trived, by means of which the strong
box Is accessible from outside, as long
as IL Is not revolving, which would be
the case, for instance, during the
business hours of the bank in whose
quarters the revolving safe is set up.
At the close of business both doors
are closed, an electromotor, operated
by storage battery, is switched on
and the strong-box then revolves at a
uniform rate of speed uninterruptedly
until a predetermined period, to
which a clockwork connected with the
switching apparatus is set, when the
moving mechanism is automatically
switched off.
