glasses and other similar instruments for
the amateur astronomers who love to gaze
upon the starry heavens.
Neptune is in conjunction with the sun
on the 10th, so that even If we were or
dinarily permitted to gaze upon his face,
we would not be allowed that privilege un-
til after he has emerged from the brilliant
ity of a planet that becomes too much sub
jected to their influence. The sun being
the guide post to indicate the whereabouts
OF Neptune we are not able at present 10
associate the planet with any of the stars
that might aid US in Identifying the local
ity in which to find him.
Saturn and Uranus are in conjunction on
the 18th, and both are in conjunction with
the moon on the 18th, Uranus having his
meeting a few minutes earlier than Saturn.
AS the two planets are together on the 18th
it shows them to be moving at different
rates Of speed, so next month we shall
find Saturn is the center in the meetings
with the moon. and also will reach the
quadrature point ahead. The constellation
of the Scorpion holds both these planets
for the present.
Mercury is full of business, and swings
to the far western end of his route on the
18th, so that early risers can find him SHIN
