FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

Eyes, he knows cows" said far
mer in speaking about his neighbor;
land that is all the farmer does
know" 1t has been said that it
was a smart man who knew one
thing we'll But il a man does not
know anything but cows he would
probably do better to give up the
cultivation of his land to some 9th
er party, and lie in bed or keep quiet
in some way when the COWS do not
need his attention. There is a
great deal of value in the manure
from the cows, and there should be
some profit in growing the feed for
them instead of buying it, but if he
does not understand the business it
might be better to lease his surplus
land, sell his manure and buy his
feed, and if he can do all this with
one party it will be better than to
divide it among several parties.
But really the statement seemed to
be an exaggeration, for the man
who knows one branch of farming
thoroughly is apt to have some
knowledge of few other branches,
or at least capacity for learning
them. 1t seems as though he might
find some other thing which he could
do upon part of his land to use that
and his good time to advantage,
Fruit or flowers, grass or grain,
might be made secondary interest
if he could not spread himself as far
as the neighbor who was talking
about him.

LIFE ON THE PLANET VENUS.
SpecuationS Of Science as 10 What
Sort Of Time They Have.

Youths Companion 1t will be re
membereu that about two years ago
the famous Italian astronomer, Schiapa-
relE, 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. IL would follow from
this that on Venus there is no sue
cession of days ana nights as upon
the earth, but that perpetual day
rcgnS ON one side OF the planet and
perpetual night Oh the other. In other
words, if Schiaparelli is right, Venus
always presents the same face to the
sun just us the moon forever turns
the same hemisphere toward the earth.
The inhabitants of the sunward side
of Venus, then-if there be any-neyer
see the sun set, White the inhabitants
of the other side never see the sun
ut all, unless obey visit the opposite
hemisphere of the globe.
or course, no one knows whether
there are inhabitants upon Venus or
not, but we do know that Venus has
an atmosphere, and that in its at
mpsphcre watey yapor exists and
clouds float, and that upon the sur
face Of the planet the force Of grayi-
tUton is not very different from that
which it manifests on the surface Of
the earth Accordingly, there are
some reasons to be urged in behalf
of the opinion that Venus may he
an inhabited world
But if one-half Of Venus be buried
in endless night while the ether half
lies glaring beneath n neyer-setting
sun, it is evident that the inhabitants
of the planet must have experiences
that would be most strange and trying
20 us. SO the question whether Venus
really does rotate Oh its axis once
in 225 days, the period Of its reyolu-
ticn around the sun, derives an added
Interest from the consideration that
the planet possibly has inhabitants
The older observations indicated that
Venus rotated in between twenty-three
ald twenty-four hours, giving IL days

the earth, In order to settle the ques-
ton it has recently been proposed to
apply the specuoscope. 1T Is known
that in the spectrum Of a celestial
body which is rapidly approaching the
earth the specroscopic lines are shift
ed toward the blue, while in the spec
trum Of a fast retreating body tie
lines are shifted 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 applied 70 find ont how fast
Venus revolyes on its axis.
Every ond who watches the glorious
evening star gEowing brighter and
brighter in the sunset SKY during the
col. ing months viii 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
day side and a night side.
