A WONDERFUL WORLD. THE GREAT PLANET JUPITER AND THE TRE-
MENDOUS FORCES AT WORK ON IS
Astronomers have of Iste been making some exceedingly interesting discoveries about the huge planet Jupiter, which is now visible in the evening aky.
When we are thinking about worlds it is just as well to think of Jupiter, for that is a globe worth pondering over. Thirteen hundred times a largo as this big earth of ours, and illu.

The various colors that they show, and in particular the prevailing red tint which characterizes the largest balts, may excita wonder as to the nature and con dition of masses of vapor that could pra Boat auch an appearance, but upon the whole thore seems to be nothing to seriously die credit the idea that the greator
number of these phenomena really are clouds.
And now we come to the most surprising facts. It is evident that a tremendous our ront is continually aweeping right around the huge glebs of Jupiter over its equatorial regions. The cloud bolts are all in motion, but not all with the same velocity. The are to the equator the faster they move.
The observations of Stanley Williams and others show that in the north temperate zone there is a broad light band oncircling the planet which may possibly be the actual surface of Jupiter's globe. By comparing the rate of motion of cloud-like objcols seen in this region with that, of the adjacent cloud belt it is found that the lat- ter is moving much mom swiftly. The
