LIFE ON THE PLANET VENUS.
Speculation in the Light of Science at to
What Sort of a Time They Have.

1t will be remembered that about
two years ago the famous Italian as.
tronomer, Schiaparelli, announced that
he had discovered 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 Venus there
is no succession of days and nights as
upon the earth, but that perpetual day
reigns upon one side of the planet and
perpetual night upon the other In
other words, if Schiaparelli is right,
Venus always presents the same face
to the sun, just as the moon forever
turns the same hemisphere toward the
earth.
The inhabitants of the sunward side
of Venus, then-if there be any-never
see the sun set while the inhabitants
of the other side never see the sun at
all, unless they visit the opposite hem
isphere of their globe.
OF course, no one knows whether
there are inhabitants upon Venus or
not, but we do know Venus has an
atmosphere, and that in it's atmosphere
watery vapor exists and clouds float,
and that upon the surface of the plan
ct the force of gravitation is not very
different from that which it manifests
on the surface of the earth. Accord
ingly, 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 endless night while the other half
lies glaring beneath a never setting
sun it is evident that the inhabitants
of that planet must have experiences
that would be most strange and try
ing to US. So the question whether
Venus really does rotate on its axis
once in 225 days. the period of it's rev.
olution around the sun, derives an
added interest from the consideration
that the planet possibly has inhabi-
tants.
The older observa tons indicate that
Venus rotated in between twenty-tTree
and twenty-four hours, giving it 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 body which
is rapidly approaching the earth the
spectroscopic lines are shifted toward
the blue, while in the spectrum of
fast retreating body the lines are shift
ed toward the red.
The principle has been used in meas
uring the rate of the suns rotation.
The lines are shifted toward the blue
on the eastern and toward the red on
the western edge of the sun and by
measuring the amount of shifting the
rate of rotation is found. 1t Is easy to
see that the same method may be APP
piled to find out how fast Venus re-
wolves on it's axis.
Everyone who watches the glorious
evening star growing brighter and
brighter in the sunset sky during the
coming months will certainly be eager
to hear the latest news from the as
tronomers who are trying to find out
whether Venus has successive days
and nights like the earth or has only

The treatment after taking cold is to

bath is the quickest and surest cure
for cold. whether of the depressed,
shivering order or of the feverish kind.

water as hot as you can bear it. up to

or some kind of heaters for the feet
and back, to lie there as long as it
feels good to do SO.
The feverish bilious cold may be fur

ade and a laxative. On rising take
care not to get fresh cold by chilling
the system. Do not be above dressing
in a warm room and having fresh
clothes well warmed before putting
them on.
If the all over hot bath is not in
reach take hot sponge bath, putting
on fresh warm wooden clothing next

sanitary and refreshing. You need to
change frequently when in the least
out of health.
Take the hot lemonade If 1t IS ac-
