Fires in northern Michigan forests, fanned to giganitc proportions by the gales of Friday and Saturday, have destroyed at least three homevillages, rendered hundreds less, swept over thousands of acres of timber lands and caused damage estimated at about $200,000. The heviest loss has been sustained in Presque Isle and Cheboygan counties, although Leelanau, Charlsevoix hud Otsego have also suffered. Iu many towns lamps were lighted, as the sun was obscured by the heavy hmoke. The village of Case, in Presque Isle county, was destroyed on Saturday. A special train conveyed the homeles villagers to Onaway, fcvhere they were sheltered. Legrande, a little town in Cheboygan county, was also abandoned to the flames.

Yet all this time there follows were seven, possibly eight, moons, though the fact was hidden from the world, just as magnetism had been hidden until Gilbert brought it into notice, and as radium was hidden until the Curies raised it from the dust. Jupiter was reserving his secret for some daring observer who should bridge the gap of nearly 300 years with a new discovery. The first chapter of the revelation came in 1892, and the revealer was Prof. Edward Emerson Barnard of the Lick observatory. A southern man, who had already done excellent work in celestial photography, besides discovering a number of comets, he was one of the first, In the clear air of Mt. Hamilton, Cal., to turn the new telescope to the planets. He was doubtless eager to know what of new detail and physical construction the big glass would bring forth. Happening one September midnight to be examining the disc of Jupiter he glimpsed a tiny speck of light near the edge of the planet. It soon became lost in the glare of the larger body, but the quest was resumed on succeeding nights, and then the news was flashed to every Ameri can and foreign observatory that Jupi ter had five moons. This unexpected and momentous discovery thrilled the astronomical world, but there were other surprises yet to come. Early in January, 1904, Prof. Charles Dillon Perrlne of the same observatory also a comet finder and expert in the study of eclipses announced a sixth satellite, the existence of which he had suspected in December of the previous year; and the observation was confirmed by experts at the United States naval observatory. In January, 1905, Prof. Perrine followed up his success by discovering a seventh satellite, and now what may turn out to be the UTAHS SatHlito 5 112.500 miles 201,000 miles Satellite 1 415,000 miles Satellite 2 3 664,000 mile Satellite 1. 4 167.000 miles Satellite 7,056.0i0 miles Satellite 6 7 7,365,000 mile Satellite The object recently observed at Greenwich, and supposed to be an eighth moon of Jupiter, is still under observation. For all but expert observers, pro vided with the largest telescopes now in use, the newly discovered moons aro utterly beyond the reach of hu man vision, and the astronomers who have seen them may be counted on the fingers of one hand. But the orig inal four which Galileo saw are easily within the reach of the ordinary field The phe glass or small telescope. nomena they present are most inter esting. Circling their primary at dif ferent speeds, they may sometimes be seen equally, as yvell as unequally, distributed with respect to Jupiter; occasionally the planet cuts them in two, or has all four on one side. Now and then the satellites pass behind him in their motions and are occulted; they also move across his face, the moon in transit casting Its black shadow on the planets disc. The fact that Jupiter shows a face 40 times larger to the nearest of his companions than the moon does to the earth suggests something of the spectacle which the night sky would present to a dweller in the Jovian system. But that is another ftory. Few Perfect Models.
