enough to reveal to him just what
the state of affairs was.
In 1866, the astronomer Huy-
gems showed that the planet was
surrounded by great luminous
ring. 1t has been since discOv-
cred that the ring is in reality a
triple one. Two are bright in col
or. the third dusky and usually
called the "crepe ring"
1t is $4,000 miles from the sur
face Of the planet to the rings.
Chunks of Rocks
Maxwell. the great nathema-
tician, first demonstrated that the
rings of Saturn could not be solid
and withstand the gravitational
pun of the planet. Observation
with modern astronomical instru-
ments has led the astronomers to
believe that the rings are COM
posed OF millions of nttls chunks
OF rock each revolving around
Saturn and all of them adhering
to the ring-shaped orbit.
sat III II has AAAA0 III . y II H.
Astronomers believe that the ma
terial which forms the rings would
have condensed into a tenth moon,
but that the great gravitational
pun Of Saturn coupled with the
nearness Of this material to Saturn
prevented the formation OF another
moon.
Saturn Is sixth in order from the
sun. II is the second largest planet
in the solar system. Jupiter being
the largest.
1t is believed, however. that
Saturn IS the least dense of all the
planets. That is, the hghtest for
its size. II a big enough lake of
water could be obtained. It IS be-
lieved that Saturn would prove to
be light enough to float upon It like
a cork.
For this reason and for consid-
eratlons much the same as those
in the case Of Jupiter. It is be-
lieved that Saturn is In molten
state and that It has no solid
surface.
Saturn is nearly twice as far from
the sun as Jupiter. Il is $4,000, 600
miles from the sun
It revolves around the sun in
Twenty-Five and one-half years and
rotates on its own axis IN ten and

LabOring Class

To the Editor Of The Times
In regard to the writer on Birch
Ave. speaking of Indiana being lucky,
let me say the State of Wisconsin pays
higher wages. 1t is no more than fair
to demand more money for auto IL
censes. 1t is not only the license
for which Indiana pays more. but
everything concerning the State. Does
not Indiana have the lowest salaries
in the Union? What pleasure does n
poor man have if without a car to
take his family out once in a while?
Who can afford car at such an ex-
pense?
The trouble with the laboring class
today is that it works against itself.
