Where are the soups and stews OF our youth?
The inquiry isn't merely sentimental, though it brings

Jupiter as Planet of
Mystery
BY Garrett p. seryiss.

After next month the planet Jupi-
ter will leave the evening sky, to be
gone for long while, and so this is
a good time TO look at him. before
he retires behind the curtain OF the
sunset Nobody has ever yet sue
ceeded in solving the mystery OF Ju-
piter. In him We see a globe nearly
1,40O times larger than ours. whose
peculiarities are such that science is
baffied, and even the Imagination is
staggered, in trying 10 comprehend
them.
The distance around Jupiter is
about 100000 miles, or 1000 miles
greater than that separating the
earth from the moon. Yet he ro-
tates on his gigantic axis at the ter
rife speed of one complete turn in
less than 10 hours. If the earth's
rotation were as swift as that the
length of day and night together
would be reduced to about % min
utes-26 minutes of daylight. and
26 minutes of. darkness. Every
thing in the equatorial zone would
fly off into space, since an increase
of only II times in the present
speed of the earth's rotation would
cause objects on the equator 10 lose
all their weight through the effect
of centrifugal force, while if the
earth were speeded up TO Jupiter's
equatorial pace, the increase of We
locity would be IS times.
The frame of the earth would give
4 a. l.
would become plastic. on Jupiter
the effect of the swift rotation has
been TO swell the planet out around
its equator. until the equatorial di-
ameter exceeds the polar by nearly
5000 miles. But to make objects
fly OF from Jupiter, the speed
would have TO be three times greater
yet.

The surface of Jupiter is about
1872 times more spacious than that
of the earth. If it were divided into
geographical features corresponding
to those of the earth, its Mediter-
ranean sea would be twice as large
as our Pacific ocean, and its Cube
| half as large as our Africa. Yet. on
all that vast surface il is probable
that there does not exist a foot of
solid ground, or anything solid, or
even liquid. There is no certainty
that any portion of Jupiter has yet
solidiied. if il is destined ever TO be-
come solid.
All that We perceive with teles-
cOpes appears to be simply cloud
like stuff. unless the celebrated
Red Spot should be excepted. Ju-
pliers red spot is one of the great
est of astronomical puzzles. 1t made
its first certain appearance i'm 1878.
IL lies a little south of the equator
of the planet, and is of a long, oval
shape, some 10000 miles in length
and 1000 or 5000 in breadth. so
that il exceeds the whole earth i'm
area.
When it first appeared ii was
dusky. afterward turning distinctly
red. / saw il, and made a picture
of il, with a small telescope in July.
1878, almost as early as the first
recorded observations, and before I
had heard of its existence. For a
year il deepened it's rudy hue and
the exciting thought that ii might
be "A ''red-hot continent suddenly
appearing through the whirling
chaos of clouds covering Jupiter
thrilled more than one observer.
As time passes it alternately faded
and frightened. Sometimes a
whitish curtain seemed TO be drawn
over il. under which it shone like a
fire seen through smoke. The latest
observations give the impression
that it is slowly sinking out of
sight. IL is only a speck on Jupiter,
but we cannot help meditating a lit
tie when we remember that it is as
large. i'm superficies. as our whole
planet,

The imagination likes TO take
hold of things from which science
recoils. The imagination does not
like TO think of Jupiter, the grandest
world in our system, as an idle ball
of clouds and vapors. If science
were sure of the correctness of the
suggestion. sometimes made in its
name. that Jupiter is "a world not yet
cooled off and consequently not yet
ready for inha bitants, the magma
ton might be content TO assume an
eXpectant attitude; but the sugges-
ton is only a venture. and so the
imagination goes ahead and pictures
the possible state of things on Ju-
piter in a way TO please itself.
Ii affirms. for instance. that there
is no necessity for assuming that
life needs a solid planet for home.
If that is granted then Jupiter might
really be filled with inhabitants OF
more ethereal structure than that
OF terrestrial beings, living in its va
porous ball as fish live i'm water.
Science laughs at the idea. where
upon the Imagination says: We'll.
then. what objection have YOU 10 as
Stunning that deep in Jupiter's vast
globe of spinning vapors there ex-
lists a solid nucleus perhaps not very
unlike the earth, from which the Jul
piter that we see with our telescopes
serves as huge enclosing shell. a
armament of cloud. shielding the
Hfe-supporting kernel within from
a.
ing the absence of sunlight by pour
ing down an electric radiance whose
splendor may exceed the glcry OF the
sun and stars?" If science objects
again, the Imagination may finally
retOrt: Did / not long ago tell you
that there was a world within the
atom, that elements are ira nsmuta-
BILE. that wonderful creatures fur
nishing their own light enjoy life in
the eternal night of the sea-bottom,
that voices could be made TO sound
round the world, that the air was
navigable TO man. that vision might
penetrate solid walls, and many 9TH
er things that you scoffed at until
the bare truth forced confession?
Suffer me, then, 10 scatter my guess
es as thick as rain. while you plod
after and note where the drops fall
on fertile soil.
