BEAUTIFUL VENUS.
The star at Which Half the Telescopes in
The World will he LevelIed.


The planet Venus is now becoming very
brilliant in the evening sky, throwing her fiery
neighbor, Mars, completely into 'he shade.
in he telescope she now resembles the moon
when it is a little past half full. Through the
autumn she will continue to grow more and
more b. l'aet until she appears as thin cres-
cent, silver bow. Then she will disappear
as star, to re-appear on December g as a
black dot on the sun. At that time she will
have to face such a bristling array of teles-
copes as was probably never before tuned
upon any celestial body. Everybody will
want to have at least one good look at Venus
upon the sp1's disc, for all the world will be
t1lklng about it, and neither we Of this gener-
atom nor our children, and but few even of
our grandchildren, will behold another
transit of Venus, for the next occurs in the
year 2oo4. Saturn and Jupiter are beginning
to show consplCuouSly in the morning sky.
Saturn especially is now beautiful object for
the telescope, as II rises early, and by 2 or Z
| O'Clock a. m. is entirely clear of the mists OF
the horizon. Its rings have opened so widely
that in their narrowest diameter they are as
broad as the ball of the planet, and the diyi-
sion between the two principal rings can be
seen all the way round, except where they
pass behind the planet, even with small teles-
copes. With sufficient telescope power. the
marvellous gauze ring inside the other two can
be beautifully seen. 1t does not require much
magnltying power TO show the black band of
shadow that the globe of Saturn casts upon
the rings on the side away from the sun.
