Jupiter's the Sky Thler.

The planet Jupiter has been found
guilty, on both direct and circum-
stantial evidence, of stealing comets,
says Prof. d. ]. McAdam, writing in
Harper's Weekly. There are some
thirty comets whose orbits lie so close
to Jupiters that the homage which
they seem to pay to him cannot be
accidental But Jupiter has been
caught red-handed. In 1867, as a
certain comet was passing Jupiter's
orbit on its 4S-year period, Jupiter
tried to steal it and succeeded in re-
ducing its period to one of five and
a half years. But Jupiter cannot
catch every comet which he attacks.
In 1779 he tried again, and his greed
spoiled his work He pulled out the
period of it's orbit rom five and a
half to twenty-seven years. In 1856
Jupiter pulled back the orbit to one
of seven years and split it into five
pieces. His next chance will arrive in
1921, when he may capture or de.
strnv It
