The Supreme Court
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY

Tit was one hundred and twenty
years ago-on September II.
17S7-that the Judiciary Com
mittee of the Federal convention.
assembled at Philadelphia, pre-
scented TO the convention its final
report on the third of the three
great departments of the General
Government-the Supreme Court.
With very little pickering the
committees report was sanction
ed, and the most remarkable and
original of all the creations of the
convention" became a part of the
Constitution
The Supreme Court is unique
among the intellectual work of
the ages. AT the time there was
nothing like it anywhere on earth:
nor, for that matter, is there any
thing like it TO this day. Mr..
Gladstone declared, with unusual
enthusiasm. that the Constitution
of the United States was the
greatest piece of work that ever
sprang from the human mind;
and the Supreme Court is in
many ways the most wonderful
part of the Constitution.
Its creation stamps the men of
the Philadelphia convention as
having been pre-eminently wise
and far-seeing. They were form
ulating a government for fami-
ly of States stubbornly tenacious
Of their rights. and they knew
that there would be endless strife

ceive the attentions of bald-headed,
bay-windowed men who break ev-
cry rule of physical pulchritude but
who are clever and bright and
overlooking with the graces of
mind and soul.
But can you imagine a fat,
dumpy. bald-headed woman ever
being a belle, or men deliberately
seeking her out as a partner for
the dance and rejoicing in being
seen in public with her? Never.
Such woman might be the most
gifted creature on earth and d per-
feet angel of goodness, yet no man
would ever take the trouble to look
beyond her homely face and see
the superlative beauty of her soul
The opponents of woman suf-
frage are always saying that when
women vote, the one and only
qualification that a candidate will
need to swing the feminine ballot
will be a handsome face. They
are dead wrong there. Women
won't care a rap about a mans
looks. Indeed, they are always
suspicious of one who is overly
endowed with beauty, but Heaven
help the country when we have
feminine candidates for office and
a Lillian Russell takes the stump.
The men would vote for her en-
masse, without ever stopping to
inquire which side of the political
fence she stood on,

Discovery of His Moons

Another thing Of fascinating in

In America We Do Not
Exalt the Dandy; We
Make Fun of Him.

Indeed. in America the living
picture man finds scant favor
either with his own or the opposite
sex, and we do not exalt the dandy
who is the glass of fashion and
the mold of form to a pinnacle and
initiate him We throw bricks at
him and laugh at him.
Strangely enough. it is men who
are slaves to beauty and who make
fools of themselves over it-not
women. When you tell a man
about a woman the very first Ques-
ton he asks you is. is she pref
ty?" He never inquiries whether
she is intelligent, or talented. or
agreeable, or good or what she
has done to merit the approval
of her fellow creatures. The thing
that he is chiefly interested in is
her looks. He places more value
on her complexion than her char
acter. and considers the outside Of
her head Of more importance than

II there's going to be any Beauty
and the Beast business in her
family she wants to qualify for
the role of Beauty. That's the
reason that you often see a pretty
woman marry a grotesquely ugly
man, but very rarely a handsome
man married to a homely woman.
Another reason why women do
not care for a superabundance of
good looks in a man is because a
handsome man is invariably inor-
dinately vain, with the vanity that
makes the vainest woman seem
humble and self-deprecating. He
has a vanity that requires to be
continually fed on flattery of
warmer and more piquant kind
than any domestic brand. It seems
a pity to him to waste so much
charms on any one woman, and
IudI one mere wire, SO he rOamS
abroad to give other women a
chance for to see and to admire"
him.
An instructive sense of self
protection makes women choose
homely men as husbands. They
may like to feast their eyes occa-
sionally upon a matinee hero. but
when they go home they want
something more than living pic
ture in the house. They want a
man, and if he's intelligent, and
good, and kind, and generous. they
don't care button about his looks.

Women Do Not Care to
Cater to Caprices of
a Vain Man.

In reality, it is not too much to
say women rather resent than ad-
mire beauty in men. 1t is a poach-
ing on their own preserves. the in
vading of a field they hold sacred
to themselves. If anybody is going
to be admired, a woman knows
who ought to be 1T. She wants
the tributes laid at her feet, and
not to be compelled to scatter
roses before a man and tell him
what beautiful eyes he has got,
and how eXquisitely his hair grows.
and what a magnificent straight
front figure he possesses.
Faugh' The very thought of
such a thing knocks romance ont
of the ring with the average girl,
nor does the idea of being the ordi-
nary looking wife of handsome
man make any hit with her.

Nearly Thirty Comets Have

Still, he sometimes interferes

scurrying off in new orbits.

IF you look toward the south in
the early evening you will see
the planet Jupiter glowing
placidly among the consultations,
like a great super-star which has
no need to twinkle in order to call
attention to itself
You will understand at a glance
why the ancients gave to this
magnificent planet the name Of
the chief of their gods. why the
Chinese called it the Regulator"
and the Egyptians "Horus. the
Guider of the Sphere"
In our scientific way we have
found more accurately descriptive
terms for this big planet, which
exceeds the earth about 1900
times in magnitude, Among other
things. we call Jupiter the Comet

Jupiter He turns on his own axis
50 rapidly that his day Is only
ten hours long, and if we were
situated on his equator We should
find ourselves whirIed round at
the rate of more than 27,OOO miles
per hour.
One consequence OF this is that
he has fiattened his own poles and
swelled out his own equator by
centrifugal force to such an ex-
tent that he mea sures about 5000
miles less through the poles than
through the equator. His equa-
torial diameter is about $4,000
miles and his polar diameter only
about $4,000 miles.
This difference is so striking
that you can see 1t easily If you
look at Jupiter through tele-
scope. He is not round like
baseball, but elongated like a foot
ball, or. rather, fattened like a
pumpkin. Another consequence
Of his mad energy of motion,
which you will see if you inspect
him with telescope, is that his
whole surface is covered with
parallel belts OF clouds drawn
out into bands by the swift rota-
ton. These clouds vary in color
and in form, and while YOU are
