At this time Of the year the evening
star in our sky is Jupiter. which ie tho

times as large as the earth. although 1t

IL only about one-fourth. 40 TINT II the
earth were made OF lead and Jupiter Of

A peculiar thing about this difference
In the density Of the planets is that al
though things that are on tho surface
Of Jupiter would be very light II We could
put them on q pair Of earthly scales
they are much heavier where they are.
The converse OF this fact Is also true.
and II boy who was thought by his ath-
letic trainer to be q trine light for the

to Jupiter and weighed there he would
be the heaviest man on the eligible list
and would sink the boat.

Members of San Jose Council Mark the
 Graves of Departed Knights.

San Jose council No. IA, Knights of Columbus, held memorial services on Sunday in honor of their dead breth- ren. The day was an ideal one for the services and there was an unusually large attendance, including good representation from Norwich and other places.
 The members assembled at the hail at l,15 p. m, wearing dark clothes white gloves, badges and carrying canes. The line was formed at 1.45 o'clock and marched to the church, where services were held at o'clock. The memorial services were in St. Jo- seph's church, and then the graves of the deceased priests in the yard of the parochial residence were decorated. The past grand knights of the council performed this duty.
 The line then reformed and proceed ed to St, Joseph's cemetery, headed by 8 platoon of police, members of the council and Wheeler's American band Following the decoration of the graves of the deceased membets in the ceme- tery, Rev. T. H Sullivan, assistant pastor of St. Josephs church, deliv- cred the memorial address. The ad- dress, which was very able one, deal ing with the ideals of the organization was delivered beneath the pines neal the Sisters of Charity burial plot
