The Es.-..c. LARS.

MARS has Of late been too far away to be OF
much account to star-gazers. But an interest
ing epoch occurs on the 18th. for he is then in
conjunction with the sun. Two points in the
revolution of the planets outside the orbit OF
the earth should be impressed on the memory.
These are conjunction and opposition, the
starting points in following the movements of
Mars and the four great planets that roll their
mighty spheres beyond his bounds. At con-
junction these planets are at their most dis
tant point, the sun being directly between
them and the earth. AS WE look at them
they seem to be joined to the sun, rising and
setting at the same time, and becoming in
visible as they are eclipsed by his beams. At
opposition they are at their nearest point,
the earth being between them and the sun.
They then appear to be opposite the sun, ris-
ing at sunset and setting at sunrise. Three
planets illustrate these movements in OctO-
Der. Jupiter and Saturn are in opposition,
and Mars is in conjunction. The former are
brilliant evening stars, rising in the east just
before the latter sets in the west, close to the
sun and hidden in his rays. After conjunc-
ton Mars passes to the western side of the
sun, and in month or two becomes visible in
the east as morning star, continuing this role
and gradually increasing in size and rudy
glow until his opposition in December, 1881.
Observers have a better telescope view Of
this planet than Of any other object in the
heavens except the moon. Mars 10 the earth
in miniature His day is q little longer, his
inclination to the ecliptic little greater, and
his year not quite twice as long as ours.
Eagle-eyed astronomers have made wonderful
discoveries on our brother planet. They find
his surface diversified with land and water,
trace the red color of his disc to the ruddf-
ness of certain ingredients in his soil, discern
gases and vapors in his atmosphere. watch
the floating clouds that make beautiful his
sunsets and sunrises. gaze with awe upon the
storms that sweep over his surface, and note
the ice-bound circles around his poles as they
increase in the cold of the Marian winter
and melt partially away in the heat of the
Marian summer.-Yo,ths Companion, Octo'

sympathy with them for all offices with

and respected citizen of this community, died
at the residence of his nephew, Mr.. Thomas
A. Prendergast, No. 10 Ashland avenue, at the
advanced age of SO years. Deceased was born

than the ordinary vicissitudes given to mortals.
He served for ten years in the British navy,
and took part in the great historical naval
engagement of Trafalgar. where Lord Nelson
lost his life. Mr.. Prendergast receive wounds
in this battle. the scars of which he carried to
his grave, and which were never recognized by
a pension from the British government. After
leaving the navy Mr.. Prendegast entered the
merchant marine, rose to the conn and of a
vessel, and while thus employed visited almost
all known parts of the world. Thirteen years
ago, after q service of 81 years,
he abandoned the sea and came to this country,
and ten years ago settled in this city. Though
advanced in years and for so long o time ex-
posed to the hardships of a seafaring lite, p
to few months ago, he retained his health
and powers almost unimpaired. He leaves a
son and married daughter, the former residing
in California. The funeral will take place
