Discovery of Speed of Lioht.

One Of tie greatest discoveries Of
science is due to observation of the
eclipses of Jupiter's moons. 1t was
found that when the earth was in the
part of its orbit nearest to Jupiter
these eclipseS occurred Sixteen minutesI
earlier than when it was in the far
thermost part. whereas by all rules of
astronomy they should have occurred
at the same minute each time. 1t was
deduced from this that the light was
not instantaneous and consequently
took sixteen minutes to traverse the
diameter of che earth's orbit, a dis
lance of about 20O,000,000 miles, thus
giving to light a velocity of 10000
miles a second. which was accurately
shown later by other experiments.

1t is well known that Japan has n
great number of waterfalls which
would be of material value in the de-
velopment of the country. But the rea-
son these valuable sources of power are
not being developed is because of the
dangers of earthquakes. which are con-
stantly confronting the people of that
country. More than once within re-
cent years have steps been taken with
the view of constructing dams in order
that these falls might be utilized when
some demonstration of the earth has
given warning of the danger of such a
step, and the promoters have been
forced to abandon or greatly modify
