Advices from Washington city state that
work on the geological survey Of West Viz.
ginis will be commenced within the next
week in the Kanawha valley. Prof. I. G.
White, Of the West Virginia University
will have charge Of this department Of the
United States Geological Survey, and will
establish headquarters at Charleston. The
work Of the present year will be done by
Prof. White alone, and will DO confined to
the immediate valley Of the Kanawha and
New rivers, since only that portion Of the
region has yet been accurately mapped.
Within year or two, however, or as
soon as the typographical maps can be
published, a larger corps will be put in
the field under Prof. White, and the work
pushed TO completion. The policy OF Maj.
Powell, the Director Of the United States
Geological Survey, in thus delaying the
geological examinations until accurate
maps have been constructed, cannot be too
highly commended, since the value Of the
work when completed will then be perma-
nent for all time.
It is sufficient to say that under Prof.
Whites direction the work will be well
done, trH-

Venus ia the evening star until the 1lth,
when, to the regret OF every lover Of the
stars, she deserts the western eky, where
she has reigned with queenIy majesty and
grace for nearly ten months, and is seen
there no more. She Is not lost, however,
for when she disappears from the sums
eastern side as evening star, she reappers
on his western side as morning star. This
event is called her inferior conjunction.
It takes place on the 18th, at 0 o'clock in
the evening. She then passes between
us and the sun, with her dark side
turned toward the earth, like the moon at
new moon. In like manner she made the
passage on the never to .be-forgotten 9Th Of
December, 1882, but with this difference ::
At the present inferior conjunction she
passes above the sun, and is invisible. At
the present inferior conjunction, she was
near one OF her nodes, and was projected
on tho suns surface as round black orb,
while the grand phenomenon OF her tram
sit made the event memorable to every OBJ
server. The like will not be seen again
until the year 2004, for, at every intervsn.
ing inferior conjunction, she will pass
nooNo VI ooAon tlo BULL huN Nv AulLdl oyc
will detect her presence as she passes.
Mercury is morning star until the 12!h,
and then becomes evening star. On the
18th, at midnight, Mercury is in superior
conjunction with tho sun, thus reversing
tho condition described for Venus. He
passes to the SUMS eastern side, instead o!
his western, beyond the sun, instead OF be-
tween him aud the earth, and is at his
greatest distance from the earth, instead OF
the least. The course OF the two planets
clearly illustrates the difference between
inferior and superior conjunctions.
Although, in reality, Mercury and
Venus are as far apart as they can be,
viewed from the earth they appear to BIZ
near together, and arc in conjunction on
the 18th at o'clock IN the morning. We.
nus, four hours after inferior conjunction,
encounters Mercury eleven hours before
superior conjunction. The planets meet
and pass on the celestial road, as We sec
them, both morning stars at the time, the
one moving eastward toward the sun, the
other westward from the sun. NJ

LeprOsy in the Northwest.

The comparatively recent and alleged
discovery of case of leprosy in Min
nesota. and the consequent interest
aroused, render the present publica-
ton of information in regard to the
terrible disease in the northwest inter-
esting and reassuring as we'll DR..
Charles Gronvold. chairman of the
standing committee of the state board
of health, has investigated the subject,
and presents the following facts: In
1864 twelve cases of leprosy were found,
of which two had originated in this
country, while one, who came here
leprous, had become well. The CON
dition of health of the lepers was better
here than it would have been had they
remained in Europe. In 4S69-70 dis
tinguished medical gentleman, the late
Prof. William Boecle, of Christiania,
Norway, visited America. In Wiscon-
sin, Iowa, and Minnesota, he found Is
cases, all of whom had come from those
parts of the Norwegian western sea-
coast where the disease is epidemic.
In nine it commenced in Norway, and
five of these had lepers in their family
In the other nine cases the disease first
commenced IN this country, and the
disease broke out from two and one
half to ten years after their arrival, In
eight cases there were lepers in the
families. These latter cases probably
were the result of heredity. Ten
lepers of immigrants have died in
Minnesota since its settlement, seven of
them in the last seven years. All were
males and leprous relatives. The re-
suits of investigation are that the dry
climate here is less favorable for the
development and communication of
the disease than that of the coast The
chances of contagion are decidedly
less than in Europe, and there is
greater cleanliness among the settlers
But once acquired, the disease seems
to run its regular course without abate-
ment. ST. Puul Pioneer Press.

down my collar, and Il chap pulled up

of it in my boots. | tell YOU | was

taken the town. They yelled to me to
give 'em a rest, and n chunck of cheese
struck me in the mouth, and the bar
tender squirted seltzer water into my
good eye with one of those syhlon bot
ties, but told them that Chicago was
the greatest city in the world, and
that St.Louis wouldn't make good
door-yard for us, and that they didn't
any of them know enough to keep out
of the hands of bunco steerers, and
that their bridge didn't amount to as
much rs II viaduct in Chicago. Well,
YOU ought to have seen me. | think
they threw me up in a blanket, but |

in one eye and seltzer and custard in
the other, but | felt as though | was
going through the air for about fifteen
