VISIBLE sPOTs OF JUPITER
Astronomer AmftouneEy combats the
Prevalent Idea That Features Con-
slst Of Clouds.

In a communication to the British
Astronomical association A. Amaf-
tounsky combats the prevalent idea
that the visible features Of Jupiter
consists of clouds, with perhaps
glimpses Of the real surface of the
planet between them, according to
Scientific American. He points out
that clouds, no matter Of what vapor
their drops may consist, should ap-
pear luminous when rejecting sun
light. But there are many extensive
dark markings on Jupiter, and as the
luminous zones never appear to cover
over the dark formations they cannot
be considered as floating or moving
above them; neither can the dark
formations, II they are clouds, be the
higher, because then they would ap-
pear luminous.
Mr.. Amaftounsky concludes that
both kinds of markings are at the
same level and represent the real sur
face of Jupiter, this surface consisting
of matter in state between liquid
and viscous. The high albedo Of Ju-
piter, its peculiarities of rotation, Its
spherOdlal form and it's relatively
small density indicate that its body is
neither solid nor gaseous; its rapid
rotation would dissipate Its elements
If 1t were gaseous, and it's spheroidal
compression is too great for a solid
glove.
According to this hypothesis the lu-
minous zones and dark formations
would represent currents of liquid or
semi-liquid matter in different phys
ical or chemical conditions, and hence
rejecting light differently.

Left Over From the Bronze Age.

While the wasteage of the York
shire cliffs is to be deplored, the re-

geologist and antiquary. Recently, in
the vicinity of Scarborough, fall Of

weapons, which consisted. of battle
axes, spears, chlsels, gouges, portions
of a sword, etc. Twelve of the axes,
of the socketed type, are perfect. One
shows the unusual feature of a rlvet

hating; another contained a portion
Of the original wood shaft. Some Of
the axes are in the rough state, as If

Manchuria Wild.cocoon crop.

Estimates from the local filatures
and large cocoon dealers, according to
Vice Consul N. F. Altman, Antung,
China, place the output at nearly dou-
BILE the quantity raised In 1916, when
the crop was almost a complete fail
ure.
The fall crop is estimated at 10000
baskets, with 10000 cocoons to the
basket. The average price is 1.55 taels
per 1000 cocoons, or 3,720,000 taels
for the estimated crop. At the cur
rent rate of exchange the value ex-
pressed In United States currency is
$3,797, $50.
Though the silkworms passed
through many wet days during July
and August, no serious harm was
caused to them, and they matured IA
vorably. However, the cocOons are
not quite up to mark in quality, as
supply of scrub oak leaves was limited

Baseless Criticism of the Red
Cross Is a German Propaganda
By HENRY p. DAWSON
Chairman Of the War Council Of the American Red Cross

There is a propaganda going forth in this country.
1t is German propaganda, and it is very prevalent
and fervent in the East than in the West,
and it goes much like this "Did you know that Mr..
So-and-So told me last night that Mr.. SoandSo said
that Mr.. So-and-So had been told by Mrs. So-and-So
such and such thing about the Red Gross? Of course
did not believe it, but that is what he said"

"sTANp UP FOR UNCLE SAM"

There was organized in Des Moines
last week a German-American patriotic
society composed of men born in Ger
many or born in the United States of
German parents. An honorary presf-
dent of the organization is Hon. Fred
White of Sigourney, who was born in
Prussia and who served four years in
the union army. Mr.. White served
one or more terms in congress from
the old Sixth district and became re-
cognized by the democratic party as
the leader For three times he was
the democratic nominee for governor
of Iowa, and at one time he missed
being governor only by about thous-
and votes. Mr.. White is nearly eighty
years of age. Some time ago he had
a sudden attack which Frustrated him
but which fortunately left his mind
clear. Before his illness he had made
several patriotic speeches in defense
of America in the prensent war. He
fully expected to be present at the
Des Moines meeting but being unable
to do so he sent the following message,
which rings with the old-time spirit:
Sigourney, Iowa, Jan. 81, 1918
Hon. Lafayette Young,
Des Moines. Iowa.
81 can not be with you except in
spirit. Whatever my future may be
my devotion to the holy cause of
world democracy will never diminish.
Stand up for Uncle Sam my boys
with hearts brave and true,
Stand up for Uncle Sam my boys
for he has stood up for you.
FRED WHITE
Mr. White is a gifted orator; not
presuming to have a classical educat-
ion, yet he is widely read and has a
most retentive memory. The demo
cratic party frequently honored him
and in 1896 he presented the name of
Governor Horace Boies to the demo
cratic national convention for presi-

The SIX LEAKS.

1t would be foolish TO put your
money into a pocketbOok with a hole.
Yet that is exactly what this coun'
try is doing today unless every force
in America works together to check
the waste of food.
We are basing all our confidence
concerning our ability to feed our
selves and help to feed our associates
in this war, upon the fact that more
food is being produced and preserved
in this country than ever before.
Much has been accomplished in
cutting down waste. Many hotels.
restaurants and dining car services
have done excellent work in this di,
rection and many thousands of house
wives have done their part intelli-
gently and effectively. But there is
still much to be done and we must
all keep everlastingly at it. We are
still far behind England, France and
Germany in the fine points of food
economy.
The Food Administration has point
ed out the following most common
leaks" in the home:
/. Buying food that is not raised
locally or is not in season.
2. Improper handling in the home
3. Poor meal planning in the
home.
4. Poor preparation.
5. Waste in cooking.
6. Individual plate waste caused
by careless serving.
OF course none of US is guilty of al
six of these sins of leakage, and NJ
housekeeper has consciously commit
ted one of them. Most of our trans
gressions have been through thought
lessness.
