IS VENUS INHABITED.
A Question Astronomers Are Much Inter.
ested In.

| question Astronomers Are 11uch inter
ested In.
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 60
ing once around the sun 1t would fol-
low from this that on Venus there Is no
succession of days and nights as upon
the earth, but the perpetual day reigns
on one side of the planet and perpetual
night on 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 that Venus has an
atmosphere, 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 diff
ferent from that which 1t manifests on
the surface of the earth. Accordingly
there are some reasons to be urged in
behalf of the opinion that Venus may
be an inhabited world.
But if ope-halt of Venus be buried in
endless night while the other half lies
glaring beneath a never-setting sun, it
is evident that the inhab itants of that
planet must have experiences that
would be most strange and trying to
us. So the question whether Venus
really does rotate on its axis only once
in 225 days, the period of its revolution
around the sun. derives an added inter
est from the consideration that the
planet possibly has inha bitants.
The older observations indicated that
Venus rotated in between twenty-three
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 celestial body which
is rapidly approaching the earth the
spectroscopic lines are shifted toward
the blue, while in the spectrum of a
fast retreating body the lines are shift
ed toward the red.
This 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 NAV be ap-
piled to find out how fast Venus re-
wolves 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 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.-Youth's Com
panion.

THEIR WEDDING JOURNEY.
A West Philadelphia Couples Adventure
With Train Robbers.

A West Philadelphia Couples Adventure
With Train Robbers.
A newly-married couple, who have
just come from the far southwest to re-
side in West Philadelphia, had an ex-
perience on their wedding tour, which,
though an exciting one at the time,
has caused both them and their friends
a great deal ofmerriment since. They
had just been married and were ush-
cred on their journey an hour later
The train was running along swiftly
and they were recovering from the ex-
element of the ordeal through which
| they had just passed, when the train
stopped suddenly and the brakeman
came rushing through the train, pull
ing down the blinds in a most uncere-
monious manner. The groom began
to get a little apprehensive, so he told
his bride he was going to find ont
what was the matter. He came
back with the news that the train was
held up by robbers. The brides face
blanched. Involuntarily she looked
at the wedding ring that had
been placed on her hand only an
hour or SO before. She wondered if
she begged real hard to the train rob-
bers whether they would leave her at
least that. She thought exactly what
she was going to say to the bandit
when he came for her valuables Then
the conductor came in and warned the
passengers. and people hid watches
and pocketbooks and Jewels in every
conceivable place. Suddenly the re-
port of revolver, followed by others
in quick succession, made all shiver.
Get down between the seats" hasti-
ly said the young husband to his bride.

risk
So. obedient to her new master, she
crept down on the floor in security.
There is no danger atlall." said the
man in the next seat reassuringly.
just then several more shots were
heard and the speaker Topped down
between the seats All the other PEG.
pie in the car followed suit, and as
they were on all tours in breathless
anxiety, there came in a sweet-tuned
voice, full of suppressed anxiety:
Edgar, have you got good safe
place."
There was smile even in the terrors
of the moment on the faces of many of
the passengers. The train robbers left
without going through the passenger
coaches.-Philadelphia Record

The Performances of an Arab Who Was
Apparently Invulnerable.
The first performance of the Arab
described as Hadji Soliman Ben Aissa
that is, member of the fraternity OF
the Aissaouas-and said to have at
tanned to the sanity dignity of mara
bout, attracted large number of med
ical men, who certainly showed lively
interest in the proceedings. The an
rouncement of the exhibition seemed
to promise something of the kind which
can always be commanded by the tour
list in Algeria, and which inspired
Delacroix to paint one of his most IA
nous pictures AS a matter Of fact,

Torrance and the familiar show re-
ferred to proved to be as g eat Us the
difference between the rites of the
children of Aissa as performed among
themselves and the spectacle as ar

priests of Baal, the Arab at the Aqua

stage of the theater, and is, of course,

After a preliminary inhalation of
vapor from the hot charcoal of bra

powder, he declared-in French of a
kind superior to what we have vet
heard from Arab lips-a condition of
insensibility to pain was produced,
though how this could be, OF how local
insensibility could lie thus effected
there was no explanation offered by
the critics present. Whatever may be
thought of the claim, the sceptic would
admit, at least, that the performance
was a creditable piece of acting Then

trick of driving pins to their heads in

With the same kind of needle the Arab
operated on his tongue precisely as he
treated his cheeks, and in the same d.

the audible blows of small mallet, he
drove some three inches of cold steel
into his body, obliquely toward his left

Earthquakes.

ROME, Nov. 19.-Dispatches from
the earthquake shaken province of
Reggie Di Calabria say that more
slight shocks were felt in that district
yesterday and last evening. Although
no further damage was done the in
habitants continue terror-stricken and
numbers of people are fleeing from
the towns into the country. Thirteen
persons were killed and over fifty in
iured at the village of Seminara.
This village is nearly destroyed. At
Palmi, where nearly all the houses
are ruined, seven persons were killed
and fifty injured. Numbers of houses
at Maloechio and Terraneuito were
damaged. Although nobody was
killed or injured at those places, their
populations arc camping out in the
fields. The troops in the province of
Reggie Di Calabria are rendering all
the assistance possible to the en6an-
gered inhabitants. Two violent
shocks Of earthquake were felt last
evening at Milazzo on the North coast
of the Island of Sicily. The terrified
inhabitants fled from the town and
speut the night in the open air.
