Wonders of Jupiter.

If Jupiter were cut up into 1900 pieces each would be larger than the earth. All the planets together do not weigh half as much as Jupiter. Only the sun surpases Jupiter in size. A year on the planet Jupiter is equal to twelve of our years. Jupiter rotates on its axis in less than half the time of the earth, but because of the plan cts enormous size the rotation speed is much higher. While the earth travels seventeen niles minute. Jupi- ter travels 466 miles a minute. If Jupiter turned on it's axis little faster it would burst, as some flywheels do when they exceed safe speed Jupi- ter may be, regarded either as decay ing sun or developing earth. He has not yet had time to cool. He is a great globe of gaseous and molten matter, the most extraordinary planet i'll the entire solar system.-Rochester Post-Express.

pe.ert of sahara.

At one time, some twoscore yeara ago, some Ehglishmen proposed to dig 8 canal on the northwest coast of Af- rica, south of Morocco, to admit the waters of the Atlantic into the Sahara desert. It was argued that . great inland sea would thus be created and that ocean vessels might steam into Africa and pick up cargoes along the western Sudan, This fine idea was based upon the prevalent notion that most of the desert surface was much below sea level. It was discovered later that most of the desert stands high above the sea. The French, who have been the greatest explorers of the desert, have corrected other false ideas about the desert. The most conspic- uous and persistent of these errors has been the notion that the desert is a vast area of sand. The French have proved that this 4s not so. In fact, only about one-f1fth of the Sahara is GOV cred with sand.

DANCING WHEN MARRIED
 WITH FORMER DEARIE

s. B. P. writes: I have been mar ried to a schoo1-teacher for nearly five years. He is twenty-six. He in- sisted we should go to a swell dance, where young lady friends and his chums were to be. My husband hap pened to be in the set with his for mer sweetheart. He danced often with her and neglected me. He had to take her home. There he chatted hours. How can I break up this harmless intimacy"
 The husband by his thoughtless in timacy may unintentionally go so far as to appear fickle Have a mean ing heart to heart talk with him. Keep green-eyed jealousy forever away, and try to keep sunshine in your home, by. every attraction. Look for the best.

CINCERED RIND
 PRESERVING IS
 NOW THE ORDER
Low Price of Watermelons Gives Advantage At
 This Time.

Take advantage of the low price of watermelons and make your preserved gingered rind now. says today's bulle- tin from the National Emergency Food Garden Commission, which is cooperating. with this newspaper in its countrywide food conservation campaign. To preserve watermelon rind, take two pounds of rind after the peel and the pink part has been removed, cut it into squares and soak over night in solution of t, o ounces full strength limewater added to a gallon of pure water. (The full strength limewater may be purchased at any drug store.D The next morn ing soak the rind in clear water. drain well and place for 10 minutes in rap- idly boiling water.
 Make a sirup of six cups sugar to &hree quarts water. Add the juice of one lemon and slice in half another. A4d the rind slowly to the boiling sfrupA and cook until the melon is tender and transparent. Remove the kettle from the stove and allow con tents to cool. After cooking, arrange pieces of rind attractively in the jars with slices of lemon and adding hot sirup of medium heavy density. Par tially tighten tops of jars, sterilize for 40 minutes in boiling water. Re- mova jars tighten tops and place to cool lin place free from draughts
 Gingered Watermelon Rand.
 Proceed as for preserves until the rind has been soaked out after treat nent with limewater. Then drain rapidly for IS minutes in ginger tea. (Use an ounce of ginger to a quart of water.) Make a medium sirup by using a pound and a half of sugar, quart of water and pint of strain ed ginger tea Cock the rind in this sirup for about two hours, or until tender and transparent. After, pro- ceed as in the case of preserves ~
 MuslxmeIons.
 They may be preserved in the same way as watermelons except that lit- tie stronger limewater should be used in soaking the rind.

STRIKING FROM DEVOTED
 GIRL HE MIGHT WED

B. B. S. writes: I kept company three years with young man. He visited constantly and showed me ev- cry attention. We dined often at my home and at the homes of my girl friends. He got round the hint, I was to be his wife. I had a good position. He became i'll and as he was lonely I visited at his hall-room. Helped financially. He went off. Did not write, repay or mention our be- trothal. I tried to find him every where. He concealed his address. On my part, what am I to do?
 Instead of trying everywhere to find one so ungrateful, let him seek you, and make up for your devotion by not limiting. but coming out and asking you to wed, asking your fam fly, too, for their daughter.
