At least three of the moons of Jupiter, like the moon of the earth, rotate once on tiieir axis In the same time that It takes them to make one revolution around their parent planet, declare Dr. Joel Stebblas, professor of astronomy at the University of Wisconsin, now working at the Lick observatory here. Doctor Stebbins is making use of the twelve-increfracting telescope of c the observatory, and a photometer by means of which the light from a. star, planet or moon is focused on a film of metallic potassium. This results in a minute electric current which can be measured with a delicate galvanometer, and so the brightness of the object can be accurately determined. Cut Off Jupiter's Light. The chief difficulty Is in keeping the brilliant light from Jupiter itself off tlie cell, but Doctor Stebbins has over-oom- e tills by the use of a small diaphragm with a hole through whjch Dip light from the satellite can shine, but not the planet. However, satellite I, the nearest to Jupiter, is too close to be measured even with this method. Measurements have been made of II, III anil IV. All of these satellites were discovered by Galileo in 1G10, and can be seen with a small telescope. In addition there are five others, but these require a large instrument to make them visible. Moons II, III and IV take three dajs, thirteen hours; setwn days, four hours and sixteen days, eighteen hours respectively, to revolve around Jupiter und Doctor Stebbins finds that tlie variation of the ligut of the first two at least also follow these periods, lids, he expluins, is probably due to tiieir being bodies like our moon, and unequally bright over their surface, so that as a greater or less area of tlie bright surface is exposed to the earth tiieir light is greuter or less, because this is largely reflected sunlight. Compares Light With Stars. c In order to check the cell, Doctor Stebbins compares tha light of tlie satellites with near-bstars, whose light Is constant, and he suggest that this may be used as a possible check on tlie variation of sunlight. Direct measurements of sunlight vary greatly because of variations In utmospheric conditions, but since these would affect alike the brilliancy of the satellites and of the comparison stars, a variation In the difference between satellites nnd stars would indicate an actual variation of sunlight. h photo-electri- photo-electri- y Baby Is Found Playing at Nest of Rattlesnakes Winchester, Va.

The question of a united air service for the army and navy went over for another year, after the convention committee on aeronautics had adopted a recommendation that there be one department of air service, with secretaries of equal importance for land, sea and air forces.

Battle on With Red Cantonese Army Shanghai A toho news agency dispatch from Kiukiang says that an extensive battle between northern Chinese troops and red Cantonese forces is in progress in the region or Nanchang, to the south of Kiukiang, in Kiangsi province. It also says that another battle is being fought around Tienchiachen, on the Yangtze river. The river steamer Kasugasan Maru of the Mitsui Bussan Kaisha, a Japanese concern, was fired on recently by Chinese troops and compelled to return to Kiukiang.

French Lose Slickers' Game on Yanks Amiens, France It has been learned that certain persons in Amiens who recently changed American dollars into francs and thought they were reaping a- profit of some 50 per cent by American tourists got the worst of the deal.
