THE PLANETS IN AUGUST,
Some Interesting Information for Anna
teur Astronomers.

Jupiter Is evening star and, holding the
highest rank among his brethren during
August, will be fair to look upon. The
little drama played by Jupiter, Mars and
Uranus for several months past meet,
with several changes and will soon close
The three planets will have no more
meetings and partings on the celestial road
for long time. Jupiter is in apheion on
the 23d at O'Clock in the afternoon. He
is then 100000 miles farther from the
sun than he was when in periheliOn in
1850. Those who have faith in the theory
that the planets have an agency, in the
production OF the sun-spot cycle, believe
that the present lessening of sun spots is
partly due to the greater distance of this
gigantic planet from the sun.
Uranus is evening star. The noteworthy
event of his course is his conjunction with
Jupiter. Mars is an evening star He is
travelling eastward at Il rapid pace, and
increasing his distance from Jupiter
Mercury is evening star until the 10th
On that date he reaches inferior onjuuc-
ton at O'Clock i'll the afternoon. He is
then between the earth and the sun, the
three heavenly bodies being almost in
line, Mercury passing to the suns west
ward side and making his advent as morn
ing star.
Venus is morning star. She makes a
very close conjunction with Saturn on the
Sth at 10 O'Clock in the morning.
Saturn is morning star At the close of
the month he rises four hours before the
sun, and holds a prominent place among
the morning stars
Neptune is morning star. On the Goth
at O'Clock in the evening he is in quad
nature on the suns western side, his jour
ney from conjunction to opposition, being
half accomplished. At the close of the
month Uranus Jupiter and Mars are
evening stars Neptune, Saturn, Venus
and Mercury are morning stars. The
August moon fulls on the 18th, one hour
"a minutes p. m.
