THE CORN EXPOSITION.

The National. Corn Exposition
at Columbia, $. G., is now n matter
of bistary, bat the great lessons
taught will live and add prosperity
to this Southland of ours.
The Tennessee party left NASH

by way of Knoxville and joined the
party at Colusnbia We spent Que
day in Atlanta, GA, and then went
on to Columbia, arriving there
Saturday.
The Corn Exposition opened
Monday, and We were oat on the
grounds early. Would that every
farmer in Benton County could
have been with us and especially
the Corn Club boys and the Toma-

Discovery of His Moons
Upset the Ancients'
Astronomy
Astronomy

Another thing of fascinating
interest which telescope view
of Jupiter affords is the motion
of the four nearby moons. 1t
was Galileo's discovery of these
moons that upset the ancient
system of astronomy. They
seem to fly as if terrified at the
possibility of being drawn down
into the grasp of their relent-
less master. In the course of
single evening you can see them
cross his disk or pass into and
out of his shadow, and often you
can watch their own little round
shadows, as black as ink drops,
moving swiftly across his broad,
oval, shining face or disk.
If you have not yet studied
astronomy-a subject that every
intelligent human being should
know something about--begin at
once with the planet Jupiter. If
you can not get chance to look
at him with a telescope, watch
him with the naked eye, observe
his place among the stars-he is
now in the constellation of Sa-
gattarius - and see how that
place slowly changes from week
to week. Then get a book on
astronomy, and learn from it all
you can, not only about Jupiter,
but about other things in the
sky, and the result, in the broad
ening of your mind and the.
tranquilizing of your spirit, will
be both a delight and surprise
to YOU.

Nearly Thirty Comets
Have Been Captured
by Jupiter

Its power of attraction is so
great (more than 800 times that
of the earth) and its position in
the solar system is so command
ing (about FIVE times as far from
the sun as the earth is), that it
often draws wandering comets
out of their paths as they ap-
proach the sun from outer space
and turns them into smaller.
shorter orbits, so that, hence
forth, they are unable to go very
far away, but continue to re-
volve around the sun in elliptical
curves, whose form has been i'm
posed by the interference of Ju-
piter.
Nearly thirty comets are now
known which have thus been
captured" by Jupiter.
He is not powerful enough to
keep them for himself, but is
compelled TO hand them over to
the sun. He is like one of the
great feudal barons of the Mil
die Ages, who had to surrender
his prisoners to his lord, the
king. Still, he sometimes inter-
feres with them a second time,
if they venture near him, and
sends them scurrying off in new
orbits.
He has also created havoc
among the orbits of the hun
dreds of little planets, called
asteroids" which he has trained
into groups, and he is even sus-
pected of having turned some of
them into his own retainers, in
the character of little moons"
In fact, Jupiter is SO powerful
that he would make the earth re-
volve around him if the sun were
absent. One of his four princi-
pal moons is larger than the
planet Mercury, and yet he
swings it around him once every
week, making it travel in that
space of time more than 4,000,-
600 miles. The nearest of them,
which is considerably larger than
our moon, is whipped around
him at speed of 10000 miles
per hour.

THE GOOD CITIZEN
BY WILLIAM F. KIRK

7 TE often told his fellow men
II That he was good citizen;
He watched his neighbors every day
Lest one of them might go astray
He saw that each man paid his tax;
And stirred them up when they were lax
He told them how to buy and sell,
And how to rear their children we'll
He was trustee, tried and true,
A member of the school board, too
And often swore, with many frown,
No wrong should creep into his town
He never fed tramp-not hel
That would encourage vagrancy.
The righteous soul within him shranl
From any man who gained or drank;
And once he had luckless maid
Sent from the home where she had strayed
When he had gone beyond the. skies
Hoping to put the angels wise,
Saint Peter took one look at him
And then remarked in accents grim:

Everything goes fast about
Jupiter. He turns on his own
axis so rapidly that his day is
only 10 hours long, and if we
were situated on his equator we
should find ourselves whirled
round at the rate of more than
1900 miles per hour.
one consequence of this is that
he has hattened his own poles
and swelled out his own equator
by centrifugal force to such an
extent that he measures about
5000 miles less through the poles
than through the equator. His
equatorial diameter is about
$1,000 miles, and his polar diam
eter only about $1,000 miles.
This difference is so striking
that you can see it easily if you
look at Jupiter through a tele-
scope. He is not round like a
baseball, but elongated like a
football, or, rather, fattened like
a pumpkin. Another conse-
quence of his mad energy of
motion, which you will see if
you inspect him with a tele-
scope, is that his whole surface
is covered with parallel belts of
clouds drawn into bands by the
swift rotation. These clouds
vary in color and in form, and
while you are watching them
you will actually see the planet
turning, if you continue your
observations for an hour or two.

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

AFRICAN GRAND GALAG0S

By the Portuguese the African great
or grand galagos are known as rats
OF the cocoa-nut palm" on account OF
their partiality for spending the great
er part of their time amidst the fronds
OF the palm trees. They are extreme
ly fond OF palm wine, and, should the
opportunity arise, will imbibe SO free
ly as to quickly become intoxicated;
and although under normal conditions
their activity is so great as to render
their capture very difficult, yet when
under the influence Of the wine they
fall an easy prey. A peculiar feature
about galagos is that they have the
power Of partly folding up their ears
so as to rest almost fat upon the head.
and 1t has been suggested that this
proceeding serves to protect the deli
cate membranes against exposure to
wet and from getting lacerated while
bounding through the dense foliage OF
their habitat They are entirely noe
turnal in habits and during the day
time usually roll themselves up into
a ball while they slumber. When in
search Of their food, which consists
of insects, small birds and their eggs
and fruit, they leap from branch to
branch with surprising agility and In
such a noiseless manner that Sir }.

dual a Parsonage Rather to
Be Avoided.

A man must believe in himself be-
fore others will believe in him. Many
a mans belief in himself amounts to
a superstition. He has a stronger
faith in his own wits and abilities
than he has in the divine provenance
of mortal affairs. He trusts his own
senses sooner than another mans
word or any printed statement. He Is
right we'll pleased with all he has done
in the past, and he takes 1t for grant
ed that his future days will lead from
strength to strength. He cannot SEQ
any outcome except felicity for any
enterprise to which he sets his hand;
he thinks that the sands of Pactolus
are running in his hourglass. He
seems the pampered minion of for
tune, and probably he is envied by
many The steps whereby he rose he
is a little too vaingloriously ready to
tell of. and his own vast shadow
glory crowned" is his favorite appari'
tion-he believes in ghosts to that
extent. But he is never quite deplor
able until he comes to believe at last
that there is nothing more for him to
learn-that his own path is the per
feet way to take, that 1t is fairly lu'
minous with phosphorescence behind
him and leads to a Roman triumph
before his face. A fiat and abject
failure is more to be loved than the
blatantly successful, the conspicuously
self-complacent man. How tiresome
are these who are always prating OF
ossessiOn-forever engaged upon
an nventory-looking at everything
with an appraisers eye and planning
how to get it. or else boasting that
they got it and so have increased their
stature in the public estimation! What
discerning mortal cares how many
things a man belongs to, how many
strands of pearls his Wife wears, how
many servants run his errands, how
much he paid for his gilded dinner
service? Yet your ticket Of admit
tance to his gorgeous pleasure dome

must praise all or be put out. You
may not censure, aven by implication.

sions or his employments, for that is

UNIQUE LABOR TRAIN

The Pacific division OF the Panama

gest labor train in the world. This
train is run for the accommodation OF
the force living between Panama and
Pedro Miguel. working at the locks or
the Culebra cut. There are 22 cars,
and the average number Of passengers
is estimated to exceed 1000. Three
cars are for gold employees" a term
used to designate those who are paid
in United States currency; five cars
are for Silver employees" or those
paid in Panama currency, and the re-
naming cars are for colored employees.
Each Of the cars for gold employees"
carries 60 to 70 passengers without
crowding, while those for silver" or
European employees are packed tightly
and those for negroes are filled like

conductor OF the train, the average
number of negroes in a car was 165.

Now that Berlin is trying to super
seee Paris with q reputation for gay
night life, the latter city will endeavor
to take the palm from the kaiser's
capital for clean streets. Hitherto,
the boulevards OF Paris have been a
futter from morning till night with
waste paper. Now comes a new squad
Of cleaners, mounted on tricycle. carts
to rid the thoroughfares of every scrap
of handful and torn letter The men
pick up the paper with spiked sticks
and drop it into waste-paper basket
that sets on top Of the cart. When
this basket is full it is emptied into
the box. Among the several advan'
tages of this form Of street cleaning
IS the important one that no dust is
raised, as would be the case If the
paper was swept up,
