ASTRONOMY.—Citized Lax•ans has addreffed
the following note to the Editor of the Munk:sor :
4, The Aftrologers alarmed Europe in 1186. by
announcing a conjundion of all the planets, which
WAS to occafton very extraordinary ravages. I
mentioned the circurnftance in the preface to my
Agronomy ; but I was anxious to afeertain whe-
ther this rare and fingular phenomenon occurred
in the carafe of that year. Citizen Fuse's moors,
an afociate of the Inilitute, and a zealous Aro-
mouser, took the trouble of making the requifite
calculations; and the refult was, that on the 15th
September, 1186, all the planets were compre-
hended within from 6 firs, to 6 figns so degrees
of longitude. This, hovftzer, was not an clad
conjunEtion ; but p.rhaps Many thoufand •
may elapfe before they again fu nearly al
mate each other."
