Internal Heat of planets.

The late Professor Lowell's discov-
cry that Saturn does not rotate as one
piece, but has "confocGl layers, rotat-
ing faster Within" suggests that some
OF the other large planets may have
the same structure. AS pointed out
by Professor Very, the friction of lay
ers of different velocities would gen.
crate heat, and thus retard the cool

but Yasmini at her bewitchingest.
And without pausing on the far side
she danced up the hewn stone stairs,
dived into the dark hole and was

"Come!" yelled Ismail in Kings ear
He could have heard nothing less, for
the cavern was like to burst apart

disgust. Does the wind ask whittier?

INDIANAPOLIS, July 2s.-The larg-
est military review ever held at Fort
BENJAMIN Harrison, where Thousands
of young men from West Virginia,
Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana are train
ing for the officers reserve corps, has
been set for Aug. 10. In addition to
Maj. Gen. Barry, commander of the
Central department, the governors OF
the four states represented by the can
didates have been invited to attend.
Governors Cox Of Ohio; Stanley, OF
Kentucky. and Goodrich Of Indiana, al
ready have visited the fort.
Staging the review shortly before
the close of the training camp, will
show to the best advantage what the
men have learned. ALI told about
$4,000 troops will take part.
There has been great improvement
in the student officers and their abil-
ity AS the camp nears close, and as
various ones have been given oppor-
tunities to display their ability to
handle men In different formations,
and to meet many suppost situations,
stories are being circulated concerning
the earlier experiences Of the temper
airy officers and their ways Of extrj-
eating themselves from seemingly un-
manageable tangles.

Cox Tells Story.
Governor Cox, OF Ohio, who visited
the fort recently told how he had
solved the difficulties OF target prac-
tice. The story told by the Governor
was quoted as follows:
Il was out at the rifle range and
Major barrow asked me If wouldn't
like to try shooting The men were
shooting from the 600 yard range. l
said yes SO Major Darrow borrowed
a rifle for me from one Of the men,
and another for himself. We lay down
across the sand bags and began peg
ging away.
AFTER each shot by either of US, the
man down In the pit waved the red
flag which means we had missed the
target altogether.
Finally, after about half a dozen
shots apiece, the major said, Young
man, telephone down to that man in
the pit that Major barrow is shooting
The young man did. Then the major
shot again. and the pit man waved the
emblem which signified that the Major
had hit the bulls-eye
Then / said to myself, 'oh-ha' and
turned to the man on my right and
said, Young man, telephone down 10
the pit man that the Governor of Ohio
is shooting The next shot, l hit the
bulls-eye, too.
