in view of divergence of opinion as
to what type of submarine is best suit

ASTRONOMICAL INTEREST
IN SATURN AND JUPITER
Discoveries of New Broad Blade
Belts on Discs Of Planets by
DR.. Robert Wood,

The discoveries Of new broad blade
belts on the discs of the planets Saturn
and Jupiter by DR.. Robert Wood of
Johns Hopkins. who Is now engaged in
astronomical research work at Mount
Wilson observatory, near Pasadena,
Cal, revives astronomical interest in
the surface markings of the two great
members of the solar system.
For some months the favorable posi-
lions of these two planets have been
the subject Of scientific interest and OBJ
servation, in which astronomers have
been exercising renewed efforts to Sc
cure more perfect photographs of the
ever-changing discs of Jupiter and
Saturn.
Saturn, with his marvellous systems of
rings, is one of the three most inter-
esting celestial objects visible to men
on earth. The planet moves with an
average velocity of 5.96 miles per Sec
ond in space. requiring thirty years to
make complete circuit of the heavens
The brilliant Jupiter, which has shone
50 bright in the southeastern heavens
Tor the past few month, has no per-
nanent features; the belts across its
surface have been for ages an insoluble
problem to astronomers. 1t Is the only
member of the solar system that can
not be mapped. on account of its ever
changing disc.
The low density OF the globe of Jup-
tier has long since convinced astrono-
iners that internal heat Is still present
In the planet. and the same reasoning
- applied to the planet Saturn.
The iightness and vaporous appear
snce on the surface of these two
planets. as observed through a teIe-
scope. Is such as to be wholly incom.
patible with the supposition that thei,
globes are constituted Of solid ma
terials at all comparable with those OF
which the crust Of our earth Is com.
posed.

London, June 14.--An advance of
about 20 miles by the Russians, who
have Czernowitz as chief objective, is
chronicled in the latest Russian Of
fetal communication.
Having previosuly crossed the
Dniester River and taken Horodenka
and Sale Szczyky, the Russians nave
now driven their men to the left bank
Of the River Pruth and captured the
town of Sniatyn, which lies 90 miles
northwest of the Bukowina capital.
Nowhere on the frotn from the
Pripet River in Russia and through
Galicia to Bulkowina has there been
any cessation in the great Russian
offensive.
Along the entire line, according to
the Russian War Office, the Austro-
Hungarians and Germans are being
driven back, and the Russians are
still taking thousands of prisoners and
capturing guns, machine guns and
war supplies.
In the IL days drive 1880 officers
and 10000 men and 1870 guns and 200
machine guns have been captured.
On the lower end of the German line
in Russia, to the north of Baranovichi,
the Russians evidently have antici-
pated the proposed German offensive
an dtaken the initiative into their own
hands. Here, after violent artillery
preparation, they seven times essayed
to storm the German lines. Berlin says
however, that all their efforts failed
and that they were repulsed with
heavy losses.
The fighting around Verdun has
dwindled to intermittent lombard
ments, there having been no infantry
attack anywhere on this front since
Tuesday, when French positions west
and south of Thaumont farm Were
captured by the Germans and 1913
Frenchmen made prisoners.
Canadians around Zilebke, in Bel
GUM, are holding the 1900 yards OF
ground recaptured from the Germans
Tuesday, although the Germans are
heavily Smelling them. No infantry at
tacks have been carried out by the
Teutons.
The latest advices from the Austro-
Ialian war theater credit the Italians
with repulsing violent Austrian at
tacks on the Posina front, northwest
of Schio. On the other secors Of this
line the Austrians are bombarding the
Italian positions.

larger streams deficiency tables are
presented, showing the number of
days i'm each year for several years on
which the mean daily flow of the
stream was less than certain selected
discharges given in the table. The
tables show the characteristics of the
flow of the streams and are of great
va lue in connection with the study of
possible water-power developments

The records in this report and in
similar reports issued by the Survey
are essential in planning words for
utilizing stream waters or for prevent
ing damage by floods. The need of
preventing floods was brought forcibly
to the public attention by the DISASTROUS
food in the Ohio River basin during
March and April, 1913. which caused
the loss of hundreds of human lives
and destroyed property valued at
more than two hundred million dol
lars. The data needed for the solu.

character and has no interest for the
general reader, but will be useful to
engineers and others interested in the
utilization of the streams.
