JUPITER IS OF GREAT SIZE
II the Planet Were Cut Up Into 1900
Pieces, Each Would Still Be
Larger Than the Earth.

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 surpasses Jupiter in size.
A year on the planet Jupiter IS equal
to II of our years. Jupiter rotates on
It's axis in less than half the time Of
the earth, but, because of the planets
enormous size, the rotation speed Is
much higher.
While the earth travels II miles a
minute, Jupiter travels 466 miles
minute, says the Rochester Post-Dis-
patch. If Jupiter turned on its axis
little faster it would burst as some fly
wheels do when they exceed safe
speed.
Jupiter may be regarded either as
decaying sun or a developing earth!
He has not yet had time to cool. He
is a great globe Of gaseous and molten
matter-the most extraordinary planet
In the entire solar system.

WHY FERTILIZER PRICES
HAVE ADVANCED.

Cannon and crops use the sam
food. Six hundred thousand tons
of nitrates went to make explosives
last year, in the United States
alone.
Sulphuric acid necessary for the
manufacture of acid phosphate Is
normally made from Spanish sui
phur ores. Submarines have now
almost entirely cut off this supply.
Birthstone, used as a substitute
source of sulphur, must be trans,
ported by rail at great expense
from louisiana and Texas, since
the government has found 1t neces,
sary to commander sulphur-carry'
ing boats.
Large quantities Of phosphate
rock from Florida and Tennessee
must now go by rail at high freight
rates. Uncle Sam needs the boats,
Higher labor, machinery, coal
and supply costs have caused gen
eral advance in all raw materials,
varying from 25 to 100 per cent.
Burlap bags which normally cost
10 cents each, now cost 25 cents and
are scarce at that.
Labor which was plentiful In
1914 at $500 per day Is now almost
unobtainable at $3.50 per day.
There can be but one answer to
ronditions such as these; namely.
hlgh-priced fertilizers.

In Italy,

A sailor from foreign ship was
rolling along the avenue. To be confi'

suggestion of bounding billows. 1t is

A sailor was rolling along the ave-
nue., when he came face to face with O
native Of his own country who was
wearing the priestly black Of his
church. Each recognized in the other
q cOmpatriot, and their hands went
out In instantaneous and most hearty
clasp, the sailor uncovering in rever-
ence to the cloth.
The mother tongue must have sound
ed sweet to the priestly gentleman, for
his eyes sparkled under steel-rimmed
spectacles and on his face was a rosy
glow.
Several passers-by caught the situa-
ton with smiling sympathy, and one
man said to the woman with him:
"Those two are as oblivious to sur
roundings as If they had all Washing

Rapid Spread Of Influenza.

Two causes, unfortunately, combine
to promote the rapid diffusion OF In

incubation is brief, rarely exceeding
three days, as compared with ten days
