upon them. More meteoric showers
have been reported in the southern
part of the world than usual, and
storms of great destructiveness have
swept over the whole globe. The
coldness of the last winter is attrib-
uted by astronomers to the influence
of the planets, and whenever a
comet has approached the earth in
the past, unusual weather has pre-
vailed beforehand, as if to announce
its coming. Moreover, the powerful
telescopes now used for scanning
the heavens reveal an unusual num-
ber of ee@srses, as if the disturbance
had CAUSED some of the lesser bodies
to travel a little out of their courses.
The wonderful variable star Algol,
in Peresus, for instance, has con-
stantly of late undergone great
changes. A dark body, almost as
large as Algol; has several times
blotted out its existence from our
view. The appearance of this
nuge black object is a mystery to
astronomers today. Then the SHOWS
of Mars, which have so long been
visible to powerful telescopes, have
gradually disappeared. Early last
October it was reported that the
polar snow cap of Mars had entirely
disappeared. No such rapid and un-
explained disappearance of the snow
on the earth or on Mars has ever
before been reported. Jupiter, in
its recent appearances, has been
more brilliantly belted than
ever before, and as it rises, it dis
plays an unwonted profusion of
color. Venus has been shrouded in
more or less showers of meteors, so
that its face could not be seen dis
tinctly, but when the atmosphere
did for short time clear up, it shone
with unusual brilliancy. It's bright
ness in the last few months has at
tracted much attention, even among
those who are not expert "star gaz-
ers." All these facts taken in con-
junction with the changing condi-
tion of the weather upon the earth,
have lead many to predict the ap-
proach of something unusual in the
solar system. This object will very
likely, be a new star, comet or won
derfu1 conjunction of two or more
planets, or the long-looked-for star
of Bethlehem"

In view of the alleged fact that

their various ailments; and even the
dead almost Commanded to come
forth" like Lazarus of old; the pre-
dicted coming, by astronomers and
others, of "the star of Bethlehem"
may be of interest to many.
"There are many astronomers who
confidently predict its temperance,
and the recent disturbances in the
heavenly bodies have encouraged
some to believe that great astrono-
mical phenomenon is approaching.
According to the calculations of the
past, the star should appear some
time between 1890 and 1895, and the
present year being the last of the
time set for it, there is considerable
anxiety displayed by those interested
in the question. In the year 1872
the star appeared the last time, and
of its appearance then we have the
most trustworthy account. One
evening, as l was watchingthe heav-
ans in my accustomed Manner
Tycho Brahe writes, 4 saw to my
astonishment, in the constellation of
Cassiopeia, a brilliant star of un-
usual clearness.' A few nights be-
fore this the author astronomer, Cor
nelius Gemma, saw the star, and
called it the "new Venus" Both
men thought that this wonderfully
brilliant phenomenon of the heav-
ans was the old star of Bethlehem,
and its appearance at that time tai
lied with its appearance in 1854, 945,
$50 and 315. In 1854 the Bohemian
astronomer and astrologer, Cyprian
Lowitz, gives an account of the ap-
pearance in the heavens of a won
derfully attractive star that had not
been there before. In his accounts
we have similar descriptions of the
strange visitor, appearing suddenly
and moving gradually away, until
finally swallowed up in space. To
him, also, we are indebted for an
account of the same star which ap-
peared in 945, when the heavens
seemed to be lighted up by this
strange heavenly phenomenon. The

What familiar ring there is to
the above, and where it the human
to set foot on Arizona soil who has
never heard of is. Its tone carries
one away back to the deeds and dar-

face him. Its past is the life of the
country. Following the men who

again in all of its magnifcence like

THE MESSAGE.

Mr. Cleveland submits to congress
the usual grist, but much of it is
dry-as-dust and the average reader
cares nothing about it. As matter
of fact, when one has once read one
of his messages, it is not necessary
to wade through another one-their
lack of dissimilitude being so per-
feet. However, we herewith present
our readers with few points of the
message.
President Cleveland notes the
opening of the free wool market in
the Argentine Republic and also
that the boundary differences be-
tween that nation and Brazil have
been settled by arbitration in which
this country acted as arbitrator.
The resumption of specie payment
by Chill is regarded as evincing the
ascendency of sound financial prin-
ciples in that republic.
The close of the Chinese-Japanese
war has developed a domestic con-
dition in the Chinese empire which
has called for prompt attention, ow-
ing to the manifestation of the aver
sion of the Chinese to all foreign
ways and undertakings, mob attacks
on foreign missions causing much
loss of life and property have been
the result. Although but one
American suffered it is plainly the
part of this government to take
prompt action, and a special Ameri-
can commission has gone overland
from Tien Tsin to demonstrate the
readiness of our government to
check similar outbursts.
The cordial relations with France
have been undisturbed, with the ex.
ception that the treatment of John
L. Waller, formerly United States
consul at Tamative, Madagascar, re-
mains to be fully explained. Mr..
Waller remained in Madagascar
after his term of Office expired, hav-
ing procured business concessions of
value, and upon the declaration of
martial law by he French he was
arrested upon various charges, tried
and convicted by military tribunal
and sentenced to twenty years in
prison. This government requested
the records of that tribunal. The
records of the court proceedings and
charges have been procured, but the
evidence is still missing. Meanwhile
it appears that Mr.. Walters confne-
ment was not onerous. The presi-
dent recommends the acceptance of
the French invitation to participate
in the Paris exposition of 1900. He
commends the recent reso-
luton of the French chambers favor
ing a permanent treaty of arbitra-
tion between the two countries.
Speaking of the proposition to re-
lieve the financial situation by the
free coinage Of silver at the ratio of
16 to 1, the president declares no
government, no human continuance,
no act of legislation has ever been
able to hold the two metals togesher
in free coinage at ratio of appre-
ciable difference from that which is
established in the markets
of the world. A change in the
standard to silver monometalism
would bring collapse to our entire
credit system.

sThere have been altogether
twenty-six historical accounts of the
appearance of strange new stars in
the heavens. Many astronomers rea-
son from this that should an unusu-
ally brilliant star appear this year,
it would not indicate that it was the
old star of Bethlehem. They say
that the wise men simply saw Venus
at the time of it's great splendor.
others assume that the star was oc-
casioned by the conjunction of plan
cts, or that it was a comet. In 1926
the German astronomer Ideler, sug-
gested that the star was a conjunc-
tion of planets, and Encke repeated
it in 1881. To support their theory,
they show that there was a conjunc-
tion of Jupiter, Mars and Saturn in
September of the year B. G.
