LIFE ON THE PLANET VENUS,
SpeculatfOns in the Light of Science
as to What Sort of Time They Have

SpecuIaf1Ons In the Light of Science
as to What Sort of n Time They Have.
From the Youths Companion.
1t will be remembered that about two
years ago the famous Italian astronomer,
Schiaparelli, announced that he had dis
covered that Venus. which is a world very
slightly smaller than ours, makes only one
turn on its axis in going once around the
sun. 1t would follow from this that on We
nus there is no succession of days and
nights as upon the earth, but that parpet-
ual day reigns on one side of the planet and
perpetual night on the other In other
words, if Schapareli is right, Venus ;lways
presents the same face to the sun, Just as
the moon forever turns the same l. ennis
phere toward the earth.
The inhabitants of the sunward side of
venus, then-if there be any-nevsr see the
sun set while the inhabitants Of the other
side never see the sun at all, unless they
visit the opposite hemisphere of their globe,
" course no one knows whether thele are
inhabitants upon Venus or not, but we do
know that Venus has an atmosphere, and
that in this atmosphere watery yapor ex-
lists and clouds float and that upon the sur.
race OF the planet the force of yravitn ton
Is not very different from that which it
manifests on the surface of the earth Ac-
cordlngly, there are some reasons to be
urged in behalf of the opinion that Venus
may be an inhabited world.
But If one half of Venus be buried in end
less night while the other half lies ylaring
beneath a never-setting sun, ii is evident
that the Inhabitants Of that planet r,ust
nave experiences that would be most
strange and trying to us. So the question
whether Venus really does rotate on its
axis once in 225 days. the period of lis rev.
olutlon around the sun, derives an added
interest from the consideration tina. the
planet possibly has inhabitants.
The older observations indicated that We
nus rotated in between twenty-three and
twenty-four hours, giving 1t days and nights
about equal to those of the earth In order
TO settle the question it has recently been
proposed to apply the spectroscope 1t is
known that in the spectrum Of a celestial
oooy which Is rapidly approaching The earth
the spectroscopic lines are shifted iowa I'd
the blue while in the spectrum OF q fast
retreating body the lines are shifted toward
the red.
The principle has been used in measuring
the rate OF the suns rotation. The lines are
shlfted toward the blue on the eastern and
toward the red on the western edge of the
sun, and by measuring the amount Of shift
ing the rate of rotation is found. 1t is EASY
TO see that the same method may lie an
piled to find out how fast Venus reyolyes
on it's axis.
Every one who watches the glorius even
ing star growing brighter and brighter In
the sunset sky during the coming months
VIII certainly be eager to hear the latest
news from the astronomers who are trying
TO find out whether Venus has successive
days and nights like the earth or has onlv
a day side and night side.

The Night Wind,

Have you ever heard the wind 90 ''Yooooo"l
lis pitiful sound to hear.
IL seems to chill you through and through
With a strange and speeches. fear
It's the voice Of the night that breads outsida
When folk should be asleep
And many and many's the time I've cried
To the darkness that brooded far and wide
Over the land and deep:
Whom do you want, lonely night
That you wall the long hours throuph7''
AND the night would say in its ghostly way:
YoOoooOOo.
YoooOOOoo,

My mother told me long ago
tWhdn was little tad
That when the night went wailiny So
somebody had been bad:
And then, when | was snug in bed
Whittier had been sent
Win the blankets drawn up round my head,
Id think OF what my motherd said
And wonder what boy she meantI
And Who's been bad today 60 I'd ask
OF the wind that hoarsely blew,
And that voice would say in its awful way:
"Yoooooooo!

That this was true 1 must allow
You'll not believe It, though,
Yes, though I'm quite a model now

And IL you doubt what things say,
Suppose you make the test:
Suppose, when you've been bad some dav
And up to bed are sent away

Suppose you ask Who has been bad9''
And then you'll hear what's true:
For the wind will moan in its ruefulest tone

The vair. which was a kind of squirrel
gray on the back and white on the throat
and belly, was imported from Hungary at
great cost, and is especially interesting as
its name has given rise to a strange con-
ception of the glass slipper of Cinderella
In the old French version the transformed
heroine wears slippers Of vair, but the
French for glass, (verre) pronounced like
this word has occasioned the translation
Of glass slipper. and it is pleasant to think
that the charming Cinderella wore dainty
slippers of warm gray fur rather than brit
tie ones of hard unpleasant glass. The fur
OF the girls, or gray, was that of the mar:en,
but Chaucer and others use it to express
any kid of valuable fur. The ermne which
still is used to border robes of state came
originally from Armenia, written Hermin-
La in the middle ages. whence the name
was derived.
Notwithstanding the use of fur. which
trimmed and lined early every winter gar
ment, we ind no notice of the muff until
the sixteenth century. Whether IL orIgi-
mated IN France or in Italy, which was the
nome LOT nearly every fashion in toilet ap-
phance' dress, and apparel. or N England
We know not. but it first appears in a
drawing by GasDar Ruiz of an English
lady under date of 1888 In Ben Jonson's
play of "Cynthias PeveIs'' GGO1) ona char
acter says of another "she always wears A
mun." which shows that the muff was new
enough to be spoken of and that hits ar
the prevailing fashion were as general in
the days of Queen Bess as nov Tho n,.Ica
