THE PLANET JUPITER.

Jupiter, says an American teacher, is the biggest world we know of, and what happens in Jupiter is on a scale of proportionate magnitude. It restores serenity of mind to turn from the bickerings of politicians and thejperpetual struggle for something which constitute most of the news in our world to our giant neighbor, which has not yet been delivered up to an unregenerate population of wranglers. The news that comes from Jupiter has a sublimer theme. It concerns the processes of world making. It is like going back some thousands of millions of years in the earth’s history and watching the evolution of this pleasant planet out of a whirling ball of melted rock and vapor. Jupiter is, in comparison with our nature earth, merely a bouncing big baby. The telescope shows us in Jupiter what was going on here long ages before man came to build cities and found empires, as in the ancient and wrinkled moon we sec what the earth will look like millions of years after Ihe last man has left it.
