Great Baby.


The worlds astronomers are now
very much excited over the planet
Jupiter. This pIanet is the very
largest in our system, but is said by
the scientists to BE- an infant in swad-
ding clothes SO Tar as development
is concerned. In volume Jupiter is
l.279 times that of our own globe.
But we are now full grown, and, as
some astronomers declare, on the
downhill side of life; In other words,
our little earth Is In middle age and
will soon be growing old And great
Jupiter, the king of the heavens SO
far as our planetary system is con-
cerned, is not yet At for life From
the latest observations of Jupiter it is
supposed to be in the act of building,
or solidifying. One astronomer says:
Il have not the slightest doubt that
we are assisting at the creation OF
world. Under our dazzled eyes new
world is being created in the infinity,
and in Jupiter we hail the world OF
the future!"
