OTHER moons THAN ouns.
THE ATTENDANT SATELLITES OF OUR
SISTER PLANETS.
At Least 'l‘tventy Moons In the Solar
System—Two Little Moon- of Mars—-
Sixty Miles in Diameter—Saturn Hal.
Eight and Jupiter Four Big Ones.
When the lover swears by the earth’s
“ inconstant " satellite. it never occurs
to him to consider that there are at least
twenty moons in the solar system. Sat-
urn alone has ‘eight,_the biggest of them,
“ Titan,” being nearly twice the size of
our moon, and Jupiter possesses four,
ranging in dimensions upward from
“ Europa,” just about as large as the
orb of terrestrial night, to “ Ganymede,”
greatest of all known moons. The latter
has a diameter of 3,480 miles, whereas
the moon belonging to this world is only
2,160 miles through.
, Though our moon is supposed to be
dead and cold, similar conditions are not
assumed to govern all the satellites of
the sister planets. Some of those per-
taining to Jupiter are believed to emit
light of their own, showing that they
are still hot. However, astronomers are
usually eager to find evidence of life on
other spheres, even discovering on the
earth’s attendant orb apparent traces of
mighty works of engineering artifice-—
the imagined creations of races of beings
long extinct—such as the stupendous
bridge that appears to span a crater of
the moon volcano called “ Eudoxus.”
Eclipses are every-day affairs on J upi-
ter. Three of its sate lites are eclipsed
at every revolution of that mighty globe,
so that a spectator there might witness
during the Jovian year 4,500 eclipses of
moons and about the same number of
eclipses of the sun by moons. Under
such conditions one would become ac-
customed to a phenomenon which occa-
sionally appals the terrestrial observer.
One of Saturn’s moons, called “Mimas,”
about half the size of the earth’s satel-
lite, is so close to theplanet in its cir-
cling that it'seems to cross the face of
the latter at an astonishing rate of speed.
Of the seven others, “ Titan ” has a di-
ameter of 3,300 miles, “ Iapetus ” 1,800
miles, “ Rhea ” 1,200 miles, “ Dione ”
and “ Tethys ” each 500 miles, while
“ Enceladus ” and“ Hyperion " are very
. little fellows. Several of them in the
sky together, with the flaming ring of
star dust stretched athwart the heavens,
must make a gorgeous spectacle by night
on the Saturnian sphere. .
Through the telescope it is very inter-
esting to watch the shadows thrown
upon Jupiter by that giant planet’s
moons, observation of the eclipses of
which furnished the first data for esti-
mating the velocity of light. Uranus
has four little moons—“ Ariel,” “ Um-
brie ,” “ Titania ” and “Oberon ” —-
which, strange enough, rise in the north
and set in the south. A single diminu-
tive one belonging to Neptune traverses
the sky from southwest to northeast.
Neither Mercury nor Venus has any
satellite.
But the most interesting of all moons
are the two that attend Mars, each about
sixty miles in diameter. The planet is
just one-half the size of the earth; its
surface is divided into continents and
seas, having as much land as water; it
has an atmosphere, clouds frequently
concealing its face, and its seasons are
about the same as here, though the
winters are colder. Because one of its
moons travels around it three times asfast
as Mars itself turns, it appears to rise in
the west and set in the east, while the
other really circling in the same direc-
tion at a speed comparatively slow, rises
in the east and sets in the west. Thus
both moons are seen in the heavens at
the same time, going opposite ways.
The most remarkable guess on record
w ads by Dean Swift who, a century
be ore'the moons of Mars were discov-
eredmiadeflulliver say of the astronomers
of Laputa: “ They have found two sat-
ellites which revolve about Mars,whereof
the innermost is distant from the planet
. exactly three diameters of the planet;
the former revolves in the space of ten
hours and the latter in twenty-one and
one-half. hours.” In fact, the inner
moon is 10,000 miles from Mars, whereas
-—the diameter of the planet being 4,000
miles ulliver's estimate would place
it at 1 ,000 miles. For the outer moon
he gives 20,000 miles for the distance,
which is really 12,000 miles. The time of
revolution for the inner moon is actually
seven hours and thirty minutes, and for
the outer one thirty hours. Prof. Hall
has named these moons “ Deimos ” and
“Phobos,” after the attendants of the
god Mars who are mentioned in Homer’s
“ Iliad.” ,
Hundreds of minor planets belonging'
‘ I to the solar system, which are only big
enough fer moons, though ’~ not such,
have been discovered during the present
century. They are called “asteroids”
and the three largest of them are
“Vesta,” “Ceres” and “Pallas.”
Many of them are only of about the
bigness of a good-sized farm. Life upon
one of them, owing to the feebleness of
gravity, would seemingly. be attended
with difficulties. One ingenious ro-
mancer has described an imaginary
' . journey through space, in the course of
which he la ded upon a small asteroid,
finding it;f,_’,: @upied by a single giant.
- The latter/being displeased with some
_ _'remarks madé byghis visitor, kicked him
off into spacei'so far that he fell Within

lWEEKLY-NO'
l GRElliTlECTIVE.
A MAN WHOSE NAME IS KNOWN
ALL OVER THE WORLD.
An Important Matter That’Ought
to be Known and Understood.
What He has to Say About ltin His
Usual Enthusiastic Way.
A man well known all over the world
and whose name is a terror to crimi-
nals and evil doers everywhere, is. Bob-
ert Bruce. head and general superin-
tendent of the great Bruce’s American
Detective Agency, which has its head-
quarters at 128 LaSalle Street, Chicago.
Mr. Bruce is a great worker ; nothing
escapes his keen and active mind, and
like most men who are enterprising
and tireless in their business, he has
overworked his brain, and kept his
nerves upon such a strain and tension,
that nervous difficulties resulted. In
fact he felt that relaxed, weakened and
enervated condition of mind and body
which results in insomnia—that sleep-
less, restless, wakeful and disturbed
condition which, unless arrested so
surely results in dire disaster to mind,
brain and body.
' In chatting with the great detective,
your reporter saw at a glance that it
was with no invalid with whom he was
talking. His bright eyes. fresh com-
plexion and energetic manner showed
at once that he was again in the best
of health. Naturally the change in his
condition became the subject of con-
versation.
“I suffered from insomnia for eight
years he Said,” but three bottles of Dr.
Greene,s Nervura blood and nerve
remedy completely restored me. This
ROBERT BRUCE.
remedy is worth its weight in gold. I
would not be without it if it cost ten
times as much.
“ I have recommended it to some of
my friends and they are also delighted
w1th the results obtained from its use.
May Dr. Greene live long and continue
to manufacture Dr. Greene’s N ervura
blood'and nerve remedy for sufi'ering
mankind.”
We do not wonder at Mr. Bruce’s en-
thusiasm. Lack of sleep kills. It racks
brain and nerves. It unhinges and un-
strmgs our nervous energies. It trans-
forms a strong person into a weak one.
If we can eat and sleep well, we can
maintain good health.
The writer well knows the wonderful
power of Dr. Greene’s .Nervura blood
and nerve remedy to produce the most
restful, inv1gorating and refreshing
sleep, bemdes making our nerves strong
and steady. as steel. It does not act-l:
hke an opiate but rather by its strength-
ening and 1nv1gorating effects upon
brain and nerves. It is perfectly harm-
less also, being made from pure health-
giving vegetable medicines. It is safe
to give to infants and children of any
age. All druggists keep it for one dol-
lar, and it Is indeed a God-send to suf-
ferers from weak nerves and insomnia.
It isnot one of the so-called patent
medicines, but the discovery and pre-
scription of Dr. Greene, of 35 W. 14th
Street, .New York, a physician who has
made his name famous as the most suc-
cessful specialist in the treatment of
nervous and chronic diseases, and who
can be consulted free of charge, either
by calllng upon him or by writing him.

J scxsox, Miss., Dec. 2.-—For three weeks
Kemper county, on the eastern border of
Mississippi, has been the scene of several.
blood conflicts between the Talbert gang
and the sheriff’s posse. A year ago Tom
Talbert was sentenced to the penitentiary
for life for criminal assault on a 10-year—
a month and returned to Kemper, where
he had a father and five brothers living
on a farm. Tom went heavily armed and
the people were afraid to arrest him.
and John Talbert and ordered them to
surrender. Their answer was a vOlley
from Winchesters.
The fire was returned and John was
killed, but Tom escaped to the woods and
the posse went to his house and the father
Dave Talbert attempted to kill them. He
was jerked out of the house, carried to the
woods and hanged. A week later Tom
and Walter were surprised at a neighbor’s
house. They fired into the posse and
killed Tom Cole one of the pursuers and
wounded others. Wednesday night they
were located in a farm house and sur-
rounded by a large crowd, but {escaped
out the back door and ran for tne woods.
More than a hundred shots were fired
at them, but they kept going and the
posse gave up the search.
Next morning they surrendered, Tom
being severely shot, seven of the shots
having struck him. They were brought
to Jackson yesterday to escape lynching
and placed in the penitentiary, where
Tom’s numerous wounds were dressed,
Messrs. King and Hale, their captors, will
receive a reward of $1,250.
