Venus and the Earth.

In the Fundamental clement Of size,
Venus and the earth are almost alike,
our earth being 1900 miles in diane
ter and Venus 1900. The force of
gravity or the surface of the latter is
very nearly nine-tenths of what it is
with us. It's density is almost the
same fraction of that of the earth.
These facts show that is transported
to the surface of Venus we should
feel more at home, so far as some es-
sential features ofexperience are con-
cerned, than on any other planet
known to us. We should weigh just
about nine tenths of our present
weight, and. should find distances
bearing much the same ratio to our
muscular power of walking that they
do in this world while in all proba-
bility the surface rocks and earth,
il such be formed there, would be
compacted and costructed like those
we daily see around us. This would
not be the case on planets so much
smaller than the earth as Mercury or
Mars, or so much larger as Jupiter,
Saturn or Neptune.
Again, the year on Venus would
be about 225 days in length, good
deal more like what we have on the
ear a than is the case on any other
pl.net. In the length Of the day we
should find still more homelike ex-
perience, as the difference would be
imperceptible except to careful OBJ
servation. Venus rotates in %
hours SIS minutes A seconds. The
day, of course, depends little on
the motion of the sun in the sky, but
the difference between this as seen
on our earth and from Venus would
not appreciably affect the similarity
of the days in each. These likeness
es to the length of our day and year
and to our worlds density would
cause a similarity, in all probability
in mountain form and vegetation. In
fact, so far, Venus is nearly the twin
sister of our world.

The Weather and the Crops.

The weather crop bulletin OF the
signal office says: The week ending
September % was colder than usual
in all districts east of the rocky
mountains, except in southern
Georgia and eastern Florida. There
was an excess of rainfall during the
week from New York southwark to
Florida, and during the season. The
weather during the week was general
" favorable iof farm work through
out the central valleys and north
west. The weather conditions
throughout the cotton region during
the week were generally favorable
for cotton picking, but was too cool
in the west gulf states for the late
crop. The weather was generally
favorable in New England, New
York, and Pennsylvania, and the
frosts in these sections did little
damage. Corn, buckwheat, and
wheat are reported good in New
York, while the grape crop is poor.
In New Jersey the weather was I'M
favorable, cranberry Dogs flooded,
berries rotting, little seeding, and
potatoes rotting in ground.
