Venus and Jupiter are known to be
the most brilliant of the planets of our
solar system. Venus, particularly at
the time of her opposition to the sun
reaches such a degree of brightness
that it may be discovered in the sky
even in the daytime Not long ago
the astronomer, Leon Guiot, made a
peculiar observation at the observa-
tory of Juvisy. 1t was about 8 o'clock
in the morning and Venus had but
shortly risen in the east. While get
ting up from his couch the astronomer
was surprised how bright tho frma-
ment appeared to him, and following
up the phenomenon he saw that The
flood of light came from Venus 1t
was so strong that all articles threw
shadows, and he even saw his own
shadow on the wall Becoming more
interested. he turned to his timepiece
and was surprised to find that he could
not only recognize the exact position
of the hands, but could read all the
figures by the light of the planet As a
matter of curiosity he suspended his
watch near the wall and attempted to
take a photograph of both watch and
the shadow on the wall paper. The
photograph of the shadow appears
clean and sharp upon the background,
a very plain proof for the strength of
the planetary light.

ton Cabinet.
PARIS, April pm. Sarrien, minister
of the interior in the retiring Bourgeois
cabinet, who had been summoned by
President Faure to form a ministry, has
finally Informed President Faure that he
finds himself unable to form a Cancellation
cabinet. NJ. Sarrien's plan was to form
a cabinet containing representatives of
different political groups, in the hope
of thus securing united support for the
government in the chamber of deputies
He had already foreshadowed TO Presi-
dent Faure that he had slight hope of
effecting this object, but he reserved his
declination of the task until he had con-
suited with the political leaders in the
chamber. Last night was given up to
these consultations with the result above
indicated. 1t is believed President Faure
will summon NJ. Sarrien TO the palace
OF the Elysee tomorrow, and will urge
him to make another effort to form a

Summit Avenue Residents Pro-
test Against Balbo's Obtain
ing a License.

The fifteen members of the Board OF
Aldermen present at last nights meeting
had little to interest them excepting a
few licenses to liquor dealers and ped
dlers. There were six applicants for per-
mission to sell liquor, but against one,
Dominica Balbo, there was a remon-

No action was taken.
Then the Board of Street and Water
Commissioners sent in two emergency re-
solutions which made some of the unin-
itiated members d little curious. One of
these resolutions was for the tearing
down Of the east wing of Public School
/ and the other for the repair of the
Thirteenth street sewer. The work in
both cases were ordered by the President
of the Street and Water Board san an
emergency" and was afterwards rati-
fed by the Board; but these emergency
resolutions must come to the Board of
Aldermen for their approval. They were
referred last night to a committee.
Before the meeting adjourned Alderman
Decker interjected a little fun at his own
expense. He presented a resolution direct
ing the City Marshal to hoist the Ameri-
can flag on the liberty pole at the inter
section of Washington and Grand streets
every day in the year except holidays"
The patriotic Alderman meant Sun
days. but somehow he inserted "holi-
days" His colleagues stared when Acting
City Clerk Thomas Holstead read the re-
solution, and then someone burst into a
fit of laughter.
Whats the natter" asked Brother
Decker in amazement, and he joined in
the laugh when the joke was explained.
Mr.. Holstead made the necessary cor
rection and the resolution by vote was
laid on the table, wheresit is likely 70 re-
