It is a question easily answered. The earth would promptly succumb to the powerful attractioa of Jupiter, and would become a moon of that huge planet, revolving about it. Jupiter is 310 times as big as the earth, and one a. its 'four • priitoipal moons. is actually larger than Mercury. A theory naw pretty well accepted by -astronomers is that the toy worlds,y Med "asteroids"—of which mor8 than 800 have been discovered, some of them not more than twenty miles in diameter—have been picked up by Jupiter out of the void of space and thus dragged into the solar system. Jupiter in the same way catches a good many comets. The latter, once captured, swing around the sun for a while in elliptical orbits, but sooner er later break up or take flight to other r, heavenly regions. Nobody knows whence they conte or whither they go; they do not seem to be governed by ordinary laws. Hence, and owing to the mystery of their make-up, a weird sort of interest attaches to them. • In November of each year the earth passes through a swarm of meteors, and kn August it encounters another swarm—the happening in both cases beim made mauiifest to the every- day :observer by many "shooting stars." . It is thought likely that these meteoric; swarms aro the debris of smashed up comets. In 1872 we had a very spectacular "star shower," due apparently to the passage of the earth through the remains of Biela's comet, wliich had "busted," • Fragments sup- posed to be derived from that comet were picked up in Mexico. Seemingly a cornet is composed of meteoric particles. Its brightness is a more reflection from the sun. No- body *can guess how or why such ag- gregations of particles should gather themselves together and wander aim- lessly through space. But one should realize that the cosmic void..is full of this $ort of star dust, which (as we know; from pieces of it that fall upon *planet) are commonly of iront°Pof- of stony stuff, and in many in- stances containing nickel. The "void" of space is not after all so empty. It wouldseemto be fairly filled with flying particles of matter— a veritable star dust, the origin of which no astronomer has ever at- tempted to explain. • The Coming of May.

This year is the centenary of the birth of Queezf Victoria, and a com- mentator points out that "a couple of score of Victories all over the globe suggest that the commemoration will be world wide." But it is a curious point that though Victoria was so .much in denuuzd as a place 'name it never, even during the later days, with their august and memorable celebrations, became popular as a per- sonal name. To -day one never meets a Victoria, unless in the case of some lady, of the peerage to whom her late Majesty stood sponsor. Playing the Markets. "My wife watches the sugar market closely."

Perhaps one of the most romantic, and at the same time, intensely dra- matic stories of the furtive naval war- fare carried on by Germany around the Scottisheshores, was recorded at the northern naval base of Cromarty in the autumn of 1915. About the time stated the Iron Duke, then Jellicoe's flagship, the Second Battle Cruiser Squadron consisting of King George V., Conqueror, Erin, Orion, and other fine ships of the same class, together with attending ROtilies of destroyers and leaders, were enjoying a period of rest and ""shore" privileges at Cromarty and Invergordon. Following upoon a night of impene- trable fog (says a naval correspond- ent), which smothered the whole Mo- ray Firth in an imprisoning blanket, a couple of mine sweepers picked up a moored mine, and then picked up an- other, and still another, till it was obvious that an extensive field had been sown. So the first report was flashed that a trawler had picked up a moored mine, longitude —, latitude —. This was the beginning of a hustling time for the shore staff officers and retings. '' The signal was quickly trans- lated, and the romantic point about the incident -is that the Admiralty In- telligence Department are -stated to have had knowleelge of a Coup which. corresponded with the Moray Firth enterprise. Mine -sweeping crews worked inces- santly, only coming into harbor for coal and provisions, and hurrying c away out again. Every'availabie craft s at the base. was requisitioned to sweep m for or spot the mines, and soon a Ear- d row channel was reported cleared. 0 Through this the Iron Duke quietly slipped away, and stole up to the safer harborage of, Scapa Flow, where the fleets can literally play hide and seek with tantalized minelayers or sub- marines. The -remainder of the ships in Cromarty followed soon afterwards. 'A1G1NG DOWN THE ZEP?EIINS ROYAL NAVY AIR,SERVICE IN NORTH SEA BOGS..

Regular patrols, both day and night, aim* the outer fringes of our mine- fields in the Bight of Heligoland, were carried out throughout the war, des- pite Zeppelins Prom the sheds on the German coast. These Zeppelins an - flowed the navy people byspying.on the Movements of our ships, while themselves remaining out of gua range, occasionally unloaded a cargo of bombs, fortunately with little effect, en our submarines doing point duty along the line of buoys laid north from Texel by the Dutch to mark the edge of the mined area. Many of these Zep- pelins were chased and two were des- troyed during 1917 by flying boats, one of thein being brought down in flames by a flying boat from Felix- stowe, ' " In the days of the Royal Navy Air Service, when seaplane pilots wore blue and gold, and naval routine was followed at Felixstowe, the first lieut- enant, one June morning in 1917, was awakened before daybreak by a tele- phone call from the Admiralty. Con- sider the ringing of the bell the peb- ble dropped in the sleeping pool, and observe how the ripples widened, and ever widened, until they broke on the coast of Germany. Getting into Action. The first lieutenant rang up the duty officer, who, wretched youth, slept, or rather did neQt sleep, with a telephone .for bedfellav, for No. 1, who suffered from insomnia, always developed a thirst for information be- tween 11 o'clock at night and 3 o'clock in the morning. The duty officer turn- ed out the duty flight commander, who, after pulling on an overcoat, crossed the quarterdeck. As he did so he cast an eye aloft, sniffed the air, promised himself that it would he�-a good flying day, and entered the ship's office. Here he found the quartermas- ter rolled up in a blanket, sleeping in a perilous position on the edges of three chairs, and turned him.out. The quartermaster hurried across the of- ficers' quarters and put a match to the galley fire, turned out the duty stew- ard to fry eggs and bacon, called twenty hands of the working party to get out the flying boat, and an engin- eer party to start the engines, and warned the wireless operator, the fly- ing engineer and the two pilots. t - Fifteen minutes later the flight com- mander was stumbling about in one of the dimly lit seaplane sheds among the . monstrous, shapes of the flying boats, when a marine sentry, re&igni:z- ing him by his language, turned on the roof electrics and flooded the.shed with light. Flying boat No. 8677, fit- ted with specially large petrol tanks for the job in hand, stood on its wheel- ed trolley just inside the doors. The working party pushed it outside on the concrete area in front of the shed, turned its nose toward the water, and handed it over to the engineers, who started 'and tested the engines. The. man told off for the purpose put on board a package of sandwiches, the five-day emergency ration in case the boat came down at sea, the Red Cross box and the pigeons. Phe working party made fast a stout line .to the rear of the trolley. It was now just beginning to get light. a mist lay on the water and an eight -knot easterly wind was blowing. The wireless operator and the flying engineer arrived and climbed .into their places, the pilots appeared in flying kit and got on board, and the waders, in their weighted boots and waterproofed up to their armpits, came out of their hut. The flight com- mander gave the signal and the work- ing party ran the flying boat down the slipway. As the flying boat entered" the water she floated from the trolley, taxied clear, and then, the first pilot opening his engines full out, the frail structure, driven along the water by 600 roaring horsepotver, leaped for- ward and Cook the air. It was a quar- ter after 5 o'clock. , Across' the North Sea. When "77" turned one to sea and steadied on her course, the first pilot saw below him through the mist, with- in the encircling arm of the harbor, the tall sheds of the station, the light raisers and, destroyersat anchor, the ubmarines . nestling close to their other ships and the minesweepers isentangling themselves from their wn partic_ularly crowded dock pre- paratory to beginning the day's work. He then glanced back down the hull of the boat and saw the second pilot btisy with notebook and wind tables, woi' ing out the course, the wireless operator fingering his gadgets as he tuned in with the station, and the en- gineer going over the petrol pumps. This was the eighth time the first pilot had been out ea a similar errand, but so far he had been, unsuccessful, As '77 passed out and over the well- known buoys at the mouth of the har- bor the mist shut in, so the first pilot brought the boat down to 500 feet, throttling back .his engines until she was Virg' a steady six y knots.. 'Fif- teen minutes later the shipwash light vessel was passed, the last thing to be seen until the Dutch islands were sighted, and Plana that time on the navigation was done by compass, dead reckoning and inspiration, Murphy Preferred Coasting. An officer on board a warship was drilling his men. "I want every man to lie on his back, put his legs in the air, and. move thehz as if he were riding a 'bicycle," he ex- plained "Now commence," After a short effort,. one of the men stopped. `"V�hy �11ave you Stopped, Murphy?" asked the officer.

Her propellers were merel ticking over, and she was evidentl looking for mines,' The first pilot swung the bow of '7 toward the airship, opened out th engines, and climbed to 2000 feet. Th second pilot was at the bow gun, th wireless operator wound in his aeric and manned the midship gun, and th engineer took the stern guns. Seventy seven was :IID� 1.�0.00 yards away from the Zeppelin ane slfghtly above her.

When about 100 feet above and 200 feet away, the second pilot got in two Bursts from his machine gun. He used only fifteen cartridges, As '77 cleared tbh Zeppeliu, the first pilot made a sharp rightfaud turn and found himsellf slightly below and heading straight for the enemy.

The top gunner rolled into the flames and vanished, three men fell out of the gondolas, and, turning over and. over, struck the water in advance of the wreckage. Then the Zepplin plunged into the sea and a heavy Pil- lar of black smoke arose. At 15 minutes after 11, just in nice time for luncheon, and having com- pleted a flight of 377 miles, '77.en- tered the home harbor, her second pi- lot firing Very lights, and the hand- kerchiefs of the crew fluttering from the barrells of the machine guns. r se AIRSHIP OR AEROPLANE? er st re if ve e ui- 0 of e d he zl bac g'- zn sad d 0 y y 7 e e e 1 0 m • s d e A Comparison Shows That the.Advan- - - e •'tage- is -.With the Focmer.. - Why is 'it that an aerbplane re- quires over twd and a half times more power than an airship to lift the same total weigbt, travelling at the same speed? ' The solution is to be found in a com- parison of what is called the "co-ef- ficent of tractive resistance" ' of the two types of aircraft. This term, whilst it has rather a learned aspect, is in reality very easi- ly understood. To discover the resist- ance value of any fofm of transport all that one has to do is to consider the resistance to travel as a percent- age of the total weight. Feer example, supposing a peram- bulate'', complete with child, weighs 100 lbs., and the force required to push it along at a certain speed amounts to 5 lbs., then the percentage of tractive resistance for the peram- bulator at that speed is 5. Obviously, the ]ower the percentage the more ef- ficient is the vehicle. . Mr. F. W. Lancester, in his book, "The Flying Machine from an Engin- eering Standpoint," gives the follow- ing figures for some of the methods of transport in common use to -day, and to this list has been added a 60 - ton airship, travelling at a speed of 60 miles an hour: Per Cent. Solid rubber tyred motor vehicles 3.00 Ry. trains (normally)1.00 12 -knot cargo boat 0,25 Aeroplane 15.00 Airship 4.Ob 'From this standpoint it is seen that the airship is nearly Sour times more efficient than' the aeroplane. More- over, the airship has the advantage that it is :able• to reduce speed in' fight, and the resistance falls very much more rapidly than the decrease in speed. At. 45 miles per hour . in- stead • of at 60 -the'eercentage• of're- sistance is only 1.92, or lees than that of a motor -car. the case of aeroplanes, the horse- power required (to overcome the re- sistance) in proportion to the weight lifted remains nearly constant for all sizes of machines, but in airships the larger the ship the smaller proportion- ate resistance it offers to the air. Therefore, in order to fly at the same speed, a smaller proportion of lift has to be devoted to the engines, and, still more important, to petrol, so that a large share of it is available for pas- sengers and freight, If we double the lift of our airship, and incidentally this represents.. no more than 20 per tent, increase in di- mensions, the tractive resistance co- efficient at 60 miles per hour Is only- 2.72 nly2.72 per cent. At 45 miles per hour the resistance Wouldbe its low as 1.36 per cent.— yery tittle more than that of a railway train. '•, . One is naturally Inclined "' to ask, Wkly then do we not build airships ten or twezlty times larger than present #vessels and gain the :advantages of this amazing increase in 'e ttpieugy". The reason isthat the, develilpinent. of airships is still in its infancy, Fifty years 'ago the greatest engineers of the day would have ,found it impeeeib'1e to construct the Mauretania.. Airships must grow by progressive stages of development as steacpehipe, have.done. The Uniform.

It means so much --it tells so much of pain and woe and. death., Of courage that speaks high and true in even the dying breath— Of chill and damp and lonely dark wherein no hope appears— What wonder that the uniform draws out the smarting tears! Oh let us keep the uniform and cherish. it with pride— It breathes of that uusullted Truth for which our thousands died.

TWO NEW FRUITS. Grown in the Philippines—One Term- ed Vegetable Limburger. There has been found in the Philip- pines two fruits entirely unknown to Europe and America. One of these is the durian, which grown on a lofty tree somewhat resembling an elm, is about as large as a cocoanut, has a shiny shell and contains a creamy peip which combines some of the flavors of delicious custard with those -of a fine cheese. - American soldiers in the Philippines have dubbed the durian the "vegetable limburger." The other rare fruit is the mangosteen, but the exquisitely flavored liquid it contains has not yet been successfully preserved for shipping. — Solid Gold Swords for British Chiefs.

Sheer Waste. , "What did Mr. Outman. say to you last night, Bella, when he was trying tfl' button your glove?", queried her anxious mother. "Why," replied the daughter, "he said that any firm. malting gloves as hard to button as mine oughtto give up the. business," "Well, my dear," sighed her mother, "take my advice,, and don't waste any more time on him." How She Put It, The young man came to his old friend for comfort and consolation, "So she 1tas turned you down?" his friend asked: "Yes, but she was very gracious about it." 'What did she say?" "She said she couldn't think of marrying me, but she hoped that 1 would• keep on and prosper, so that some day she might be able to point me out to her husband as the man she might have married." , Wanted An Excuse. Billy and Bobby were cousins, and although very fond of each other, did not al*ays agree, One day Bobby's mother entered the room where the little ones were playing, and was im- mediately appealed to by her son. "Mamma, mayn't Billie tell me my faults?" "What do you want Billie to tell your faults for?" asked Bobby's mo- ther in astonishment. "So that I can tell Billie his," was the unexpected reply. Logical Wish. On the outskirts of Philadelphia is an admirable stock farm. One day last Summer some poor children were permitted to go over this farm, and when their inspection was done, to each of them was given a glass of milk. The milk was excellent. "Well, boys, how did you like it?". the farmer said, when they had drain- ed their glasses. "Fine," said one little fellow. Then atter a pause, he added, "I wisht our milkman kept a cow." His Wit Saved Him. Discipline is strict in the French army. A raw sentry saluted a cor- poral who, unaware that General Gou- raud was close behind him, returned the salute. A little later he was summoned be- fore the general and asked why he re- turned the salute when he must have known he should not have done so. "Sir," said the corporal, "I always return anything to which i am not en- titled." General Gouraud was so pleased with the witty reply that he let the matter drop. Learn to listen to music.
