JUPITER STEALS SHOW
It looks as if the planet Jupiter has permanently stolen
one of the most spectacular heavenly phenomena which in-
habitants of the earth were privileged to witness, often in
superstitious terror, once every 33 years. The swarm of
meteors of shooting starsw^ue to have been seen around the
middle of November ajjain failed to appear in any large num-
diber.
This swarm of small heavenly bodies, called tjje Leonid
meteors from their apparent origin in the constellation ’Leo,
made their first recorded appearance in the year 902. The
most brilliant display known to history occurred on Novem-
ber 12, 1833, when the sky was so filled with shooting stars
- that many believed the end of the world was at hand. '
By this time astronomers had figured the periodical re-
turn of the meteors and comctly predicted their appearance
on November 13, 1866, when another dazzling display w a s
seen due in 1899, but only a few appeared, as was the case
this year when the 33-year period had again elapsed.
Now it is believed that the main swarm of meteors has
been diverted from its former path through the attraction of
moment when the Waters would be stirred by the visit of an angel
from Heaven; Whoever managed to get into the water first, after
the stirring, was healed. 1 .
Passing by it one afternoon Jesus heard the whining voice of
an old fellow who had been lying there for thirty-eight years. Every
time the pool stirred, he made a half-hearted effort to jump in, but
there was always some one with more 'determination, or more
helpful friends. He was bemoaning it on this day when Jesus
stooped artd looked at him with a whimsical smile.
“Wilt thou be made whole?” Jesus demanded. The old man
was instantly resentful. What an absurd question! Of course he
wanted to be made whole! • . ____ ' ,<
'' The smile on the face of Jesus broadened. He knew better.
Enjoying poor health Was the old fellow's profession. Nobody had
as many pains as he. His was the only original hard luck story. He
had bfEtri there for thirty-eight years.' . .. * ,
)’• The keen eyes of Jesus saw deep into the souls of men. There
was a Twinkle in them now:
' < Jet up,” he said briskly, “and walk.” ___
The old.chap spluttered and grumbled, hut there was no resist-
ing the command of that presence. He rose, discovered to his own
amazement that'he could stand, rolled up his l>cd and moved off. A
reverent hush fell on the assembled crowds and before they could
find their voices Jesus, too, was gone. The disciples were too
deeply impressed for comment; they dropped back a respectful
distanee and Jesus walked on alone.
y Supi>o8e they had followed closer? Wouldn’t their <-:.rs have
bert startled by something suspiciously like a chuckle? ... .
