the planet in 1610. He noted that these little spots of light followed Jupiter though the heavens, and he recognized their true nature. This discovery aided him greatly in real izing and championing the Copernl- can idea of the solar system. It was not until 1898 that another of the moons of Jupiter was discovered, this time by an American, Prof. Barnard
 at the Lick Observatory in Califor-
 mia. Since then four more have
 been discovered by different observ-
 CTS thus raising the known total of
 Jupiters satellites to nine. Galilee's
 four are each as big as or bigger than our Moon; the rest are comparatively very small.
 The Velocity of Light
 The first time that the velocity of
 light, which travels at the rate of l 18S,O00 miles a second, entered into human calculations was in connection with a phenomenon associated with | Jupiter's moons. Ever since the time of Calico, the positions of the satel- | lites have been carefully observed
 and their motions were perfectly well
 known less than seventy-fve years
 after their discovery. At periodic
 intervals the satellites suffer eclipse
 and Dutch astronomer named Roemer noticed certain regular dis | crepancies. He discovered thai \ when the Earth was approaching Jul piter at the time of an eclipse 1t oc-
 cured earlier than when the Eartf
 was moving in its orbit so as to re.
 cede from that planet. He suggested
 the possibility of this being due tc
 the time it takes light to trave
 through the additional distance. Thi!
 was in 1875, one hundred years be !. fore the rise of the modern way, theory of light. It is interesting tC note that at present laboratory meth E ods give the most accurate determin ations of the speed of light, and tn, phenomenon of the satellites eclipse : is used to measure the distances in ? volved.
 ) The two outer satellites, the Eight 8 and the Ninth, are particularly inter
 esting because they possess retro 8 grade" motion. Instead of goin : around Jupiter in a direction fror s west to east, like the planets abou = the Sun and most satellites abou = their planet, they move in their orDi n from east to west. The reason can r not be definitely stated. It is show : mathematically, however, that g e large distances from the planets, re S trograde motion is more stable tha $ direct. This does not account fC e the origin of the retrograde motiol - but only explains why it can exi! $ and possibly why there is no diret
 moving satellite at this distance. q has been suggested that the origin ( # these moons is different from that ( l. the others. Perhaps they are boo l. ies which have come from some fol IS eign system and have been trappe n by gravitation of the planets of ol ,e system in a way similar to the cal d ture of the comets.

 With the single exception of the Moon, Jupiter is the brightest object in the December evening sky. Our map shows the position of this planet, the greatest of the entire solar sys- tenn, for the beginning of the month, but Jupiter's motion through the field of stars is very slow, and the change in one month is not great enough to alter materially the config- uration. Jupiter will be found to the south of Castor and Pollux, add ing to the gOrgeOusness of a sky which already contains the Twins the Dog Stars and Orion. Like the other planets, Jupiter shines without twink ling and Is much brighter than the very brightest of all the fixed stars, Sirius, the Greater Dog. In terms of stellar magnitude, the latter is of the magnitude minus one and a half" while the former Is minus two and a half"
 Jupiter is six times as bright as Vega, the beautiful blue white star in Lyra, further to the west. The two look very much alike to the nak- ed eye, but the observer wlIo turns e telescope or a good field glass upon them will find that Vega still looks the same, gains somewhat in bright ness, perhaps-while Jupiter shows a distinct disk, accompanied by several bright points like stars, which are moons Four of these, at the most are visible in a low power instru- ment, the number depending upon the relative positions of planet and sa tellites.
 Physical Conditions On Jupiter.
 The diameter of, Jupiter is abou sS,0OO miles, more than eleven time that of the Earth. The surface are; is about 122 times as great as that 0 the Earth. The density of the sup stance making up the planet, how ever. Is only about a quarter. of tn Barths mean density, so that whil the bulk of Jupiter is equal to 1,35 Earths, the weight Is only 317 time as great.
 Jupiter has not yet reached tn stage of coolness and solidity al tained by the Earth Continuou changes on its surface point to cer tain degree of fluidity and to i'm mense circulation of matter withi the planet The required energy fo this cannot be received from any eE ternal source; probably, like tn Suns, 1t is produced by a continuou slow shrinkage of the outer particle toward the center. JupEer must | quite hot, but not hot enough to pro duce light. With the other planet 1t shines by reflected sunlight.
 Though some persons have elaine to see the four larger satellites ( Jupiter with the naked eye, the naI cient astronomers make no me1 tion of them, and therefore 1t seen probable that the very first huma being really to see them was Galilt %hen he turned his telescope towaI

grounds and the grasses sown, which
are now quite green and fresh-all
these brighten up the appearance
of the campus. The Sophomore
class, which is large one, donated
an arbor. This is a fine idea and
sets a good precedent. This class has
also taken a Liberty Bond. The
work. that has been done on the
campus recently is quite noticeable.
