A Question Astronomers Are Much Inter-
ested In in These DAYS.

It will be remembered that about two
years ago the famous Italian astronomer
Schiaparelli, announced that he had dis
covered that Venus, which IS 2 world very
slightly smaller than ours. makes only one
turn on its axis i'm going once around The
sun. It would follow from this that on
Venus there is 10 succession of days and
nights as upon the earth. but that perpet-
ual day relgns on one side of the planet,
and perpetual night on the other. ln other
words, if S"chiaparelli is right. Venus al
ways presents the same face 90 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 a"ny-neyer see
the sun set. while the inhabitants OF the
other side never see the sun at al. unless
they visit the opposite hemisphere Of their
globe.
OF course. no one knows whether there
are inhabitants upon Venus or not. but
we do know that Venus has an atmOs-
phere, and that in its atmosphere watery
vapor exists and clouds float, and that
upon the surface Of the planet the force
Of gravitation is not very different from
that which II manifests on the surface Of
the earth. Accordingly. there are some
reasons TO be urged in behalf Of the opin-
ion that Venus may be an inhabited world
But If one-half Of Venus be buried IN
endless night while the other half Hes
glaring beneath n never-setting sun, 10 is
evident that the inhabitants Of that planet
must nave experiences that would be most
strange and trying 20 us. So the ques-
ton whether Venus really does rotate on
its axis only once in 225 days, the period
OF it's revolution 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
and t~wenty-four hours, giving 1t days and
nights about equal 10 those OF the earth.
In order to settle the question it has re-
Gently been proposed 10 apply the spectre
scope. 1t Is known that in the spectrum
of q celestial body which ia rapidly APP
preaching the earth the spectroscopic lines
are shifted toward the blue, while Ia the
spectrum OF a fast retreating body the
lines are shifted toward the red.
This principle has been used I'm measur-
ing the rate OF the suns rotation. The
lines are shifted toward the Hue 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. IT is easy 10 see that the same
method may be applied to find cut how
fast Venus revOives on its axis.
Every one 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 astronomers who
are trying 70 find out whether Venus has
successive days and nights like the earth
or has only q day side and "A night Side

and the immediate induction into Office
OF the senators presenting such cicden-
tials.
Second. An agreement that the Senate,
after the induction into office of the
