The four last named planets are
very large ones and rotate once in ten
hours. On the earth there are twelve
hours each Of night and shadow while
on Jupiter there would be only five OF
each.
In travelling around the sun the
planets are kept in their respective
places by attraction. The relation OF
the planets to one another differ at
different times in diff erent years. AS
tronomers have found that when
comets enter the solar region the
planets are affected to certain ex-
tent.
The situation in the heavens today
is as follows: Mercury, Mars, Venus,
Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune are
grouped on the same side Of the sun
in the narrow limit Of but rs degrees
while on the opposite side Of the sun
is the huge planet Uranus. The Earth
is situated at an angle Of about ninety
degrees from the planets. On 3Decem-
Der II, Professor Albert F. Porta, OF
unknown source, says that the SIX
planets and Uranus will exert such q
pull on the sun that their magnetic
currents will pierce it and a terrific ex-
plosion Of gases will occur. There will
be "a gigantic explosion Of flaming
gases, leaping hundreds of thousands
of miles out into space. There will be
hurricanes, lightning, colossal rains,
gigantic lava eruptions, great earth, :,
quakes, to say nothing Of floods and
fearful cold"
If Professor Portals prediction is
true the Earth will get the full bene-
fit of the terrible catastrophe" as IT
! is directly in the path Of the mag
netic disturbances.
What are we going to do? Why,
simply await for the eventful day to
come and see what happens. Profess
scr Switzer has driven all our fears
away and we are sure that December
IL, 1919, will not be doon's day. Ca
tastrophies such as Professor Porta
has predicted have been predicted be-
fore but nothing has ever happened.
Cheer up, you fearful ones, and take l'
courage! 3. y. q.

JENKINS TO BE. CLEARED TO-DAY

Washington, Dec. 15-William o. Jenkins, American
consular agent Pueblo expected to be cleared today
from the technical arrest under which he has been held
since released from the Pueblo penitentiary on hand
According to advices from Mexico the Jenkins case
was referred from the Pueblo state court to the federal
court of Mexico. decision from the supreme court was
expected today, late advices indicate.
The question which will be decided by the supreme
court is whether the Pueblo state court had legal usdc
ton over Jenkins The new Mexican constitution speci-
es that only the federal courts of Mexico have power
foreign diplomats and consular agents. If the Mexican
supreme court decides that court had right in
holding Jenkins on charge d perjury connection with
the recent abduction by Mexican bandits the whole case
against Jenkins will be quashed and Mexican authorities
will have to- enter new indictment against Jenkins to
prosecute the case further It is not thought that this will
be DONE The Mexican reply to the last American note for
the release of Jenkins is thought to be held by Caanza
pndng the supreme courts decision.

saying a great deal about the unusual
situation in the heavens today that
will result in q terrible catastrophe on

The solar system consists Of the

Trenton, N. j., Aug. 11.-Working
in the most approved style of the
story books, two men entered a
shanty houseing so employees OF a
construction company doing wors; on
the Windsor Highststown road,
two miles this side of Highstown,
shortly after II o'clock Saturday
night, flashed revolvers before the
sleepy inmates and proceeded to rob
them of their weeks pay, amounting
to nearly $500.
The men were heard to ride UP to
the shanty on motorcycles, stop out
side and dismount. When they en-
tered each carried revolver There
was/an air of determination about
them that gave the impression that
when they ordered the occupants to
throw up their hands they meant
prompt obedience. the workmen
were then ordered to turn over their
money, and one by one they emptied
their pockets on table in front of
the bandits. Upon completion of the
job they gathered the spoils and
made their get away.

Local Tribunals in Britain to Probe
High Cost and Fix Pun
ishment

London, Aug. ll.-Great Britain
was making ready last week to fire
the first shot in her offensive again
st the profiteer.
Steps were being taken to follow
up the announcement Of Sir Auck-
land Geddes, Minister of Reconstruct
ton, that local tribunals represent
ing the workers and consumers
would be established with power to
assess 500 fines against profiteers
and send more fragrant cases to the
courts, which viii be empowered to
inflict a $1,000 fine or six months
Imprisonment.
The tribunals, according to the
Geddos plan, will summon suspected
profiteers and examine their books.
They will examine the prices, not
cnlv of foods controlled by the
Government, but all articles in COM
mon use, such as lothing and furn-
iture.
Small traders are the greatest
profiteers, rather than the whole
salers and manufacturers, according
to Geddes.
''There are instances" he said,
"where small haberdashers, former
ly living in two rooms, have been
enabled to buy country estates"
