CELESTIAL PHENOMENA FOX NAY.

| CELESTIAL PHENOMENA FOX NAY.
Mercury will be evening star during thu
| month, The last half Of the month it viii
be easily seen. 1t will then set nearly two
| hours later than the sun. and will be about
| twenty-five degrees north of the equator
| being little further north than the sun al
| the same time. It will pass its nearest
approach to the sun on May l, at 2p.m.and
will be in conjunction with Mars on the
5th. being then l degree and nine minutes
| north of Mars. 1t reaches the greatest
distance east of sun on the oath. Venus
changes from evening to morning star II
will be well toward the middle Of the
month before it can be readily seen as
| morning star, and, as 1t is moving south,
it will be long before it will be in such ex-
cellent position for observation as during
the past three months. Itmakes its jour-
ney around the sun in 224 days, and will
not be evening star again for some months.
1t is Interesting to note how long Mars
holds its place as evening star. Mercury
and Venus, being between the earth and
sun, are hidden twice during each Of their
synodic revolutions. Mars. being outside,
is hidden but once during revolution,
and its rate of motion eastward being
about half that of the apparent motion OF
the sun in the same direction, Is overtaken
by the latter only once in two years. On
the 5th it sets an hour later than the sun,
but before the month ends the sun will
have come between US and the planet.
Jupiter has no rival, as with his retinue
of satellites he makes his majestic march
across the night sky. Though rising be-
fore midnight. he is too far south to be OBJ
served in evening hours.
Saturn will be in conjunction with the
moon on the 7th at about p. M, central
time. This will occur one day
before the first quarter and on
the evening Of that day the
proximity OF the planet to the moon may
be observed-the planet being one degree
and twenty-eight minutes south of the
moon at the time of conjunction.
Uranus in almost directly northwest of
Spica, and distant from it about three de-
grees. Spica is the lowest one Of the bright
stars in the southeast at o'clock. The
belt Of Orion may be used as unit of
measure to find the distance of Uranus
from Spica. The belt seen in the south
west in the evening is three degrees in
length. Uranus, when looked at with
even small telescope. presents disc and
is thus distinguished from a star. 1t is
also visible to the naked eye, and once
picked up is readily recognized thereafter.
Spica may be found on any star may and
easily located in the sky. The table shows
where Uranus rises, and it can be seen
well about two hours after rising.
The outside planet, Neptune, will be in
conjunction with the sun on the 22nd at
10 p. m.

ORPHANS HOME ENTERTAINMENT.

ORPHANS HOME ENTERTAINMENT.
The attendance last night at the enter
tainment given by the members OF the
Orphans Home at the St. Aloysius hall
was very large.
Just one year ago last night the Rev.
Father Casey gave up his residence to the
orphans for home and the occasion was
taken last night by the little folks to re-
mind the reverend gentleman that they
had not forgotten his kindness to them by
this act as well as by many others since
the home was established.
At the opening of the program, after a
march by the children of the Home, a
series of calisthenic exercises and greet
ing song, an address was presented to
Father Casey, as follows:
1.-The children of the Orphan asylum take
this opportunity of expressing to Rev.
Father Casey the grateful feelings which
fill their hearts. You who have been our
founder, ever kind friend and devoted
father, who just one short year ago today
vacated your home to shelter US; shall we
not then, generous, self-sacrificing father,
with sorrowful hearts and united voices
say, Good bye, and God speed May tine
protecting hand of providence always guide
and direct you and may the orphans greet
you in that land where there is no sorrow
and no sad adieus are heard"
Father Casey was taken by surprise at
this very touching reminder. and in reply
said that he was unable to fully express
his deep regret at being compelled to leave
the children. but he hoped that the good
people of Wichita would not forget these
little ones, but would do as much for them
as they had in the past. He declared that
wherever he might be, or in whatever lot
his life may be cast, that he would always
cherish the best of kindly feelings for
Wichita, her citizens and for the children
of the orphans home. Father Casey was
visibly affected when he ended his speech
and sat down amid thunders of applause.
After this very interesting program
was rendered by number of the children
of the home and the entertainment closed
with an elaborate supper, prepared by the
ladies of the church, to which all present
did ample justice.
