THE PLANETS.
Venus Still Evening Star and a Bright
10Th

Venus Still Evening Star and a Bright
Light.
Venus is still an evening star. and
is a splendid object in the southwest
until nearly 9 o'clock. She Will be at
her greatest brilliancy on the 21th
Only One-fOurth of her disk will then
be Illuminated for us, however, or, in
other words, she will then present the
phase of the moon about four days
after the new"
1t is a little curious, at first thought
that when this planet shines the most
brightly, it is not full as is the case
with the moon, but is in a crescent
phase. The reason is that when
Venus shows a full, round disk she is
beyond the sun, her distance from us
is at its greatest, and her apparent size
is at its least. AS she swings around
in her orbit her distance diminishes
and her disk appears larger, and,
though we now see only a portion of ii,
we really get more light from what
we do see than at first from the whole
disk.
When Venus is at her brightest her
light, according to an estimate by
LOCkyer, is equal to that of $50 aver
age stars of the first magnitude. She
IS Ihen ABOUT seventy times as DrlSnL
as Sirius, and 800 times as bright as
ArcturuS.
Mars has now become an evening
star, in Gemini, rising shortly before
| midnight.
Jupiter is still an evening star, but
| is too near the sun to be observable.
| He was in conjunction with the sun
on the 18th, and after that date a
morning star.
Saturn and Uranus, both evening
stars, set before 9 o'clock. Neptune, TO
complete the list, is an evening star in
| the southwest corner of Taurus, rising
| at about 10 p. IN.

PORTO RICO SUGAR.

Present OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 5
Capacity.
Porto Rico, says the Lewiston
Journal of recent date, produces under
ordinary conditions between So 900 and
90 900 tons of muscovado sugar. This
is brought out in the old-fashiOned
way, such as was in use in Cuba ten
or fifteen years ago, and tests by the
only about 81 to 81 per
cent BY the centrifugal method, now
in use at Cuban plantations, the out
put of Porto Rico would be increased
by about 10 per cent under present
conditions, and when the balance of
the arabic land is placed under Guilt
walton the crop will readily reach 100,-
900 or $780, 900 tons. Cuba's annual out
put is from 200, 900 to 100000 tons of
hard-grained, brown sugar, the bulk of
which is sent to the United States. In
Cuoa, however, the quantity of arabic
land not under cultivation is even pro-
portionately greater than in Porto
Rico, so that under fair conditions an
annual crop of 100000 tons is a con
sentative estimate"

THE Mooous NOISES.
Peculiar Subterrauean Noises Heard
Near Mount Tom, Conn,

Near Mount Tom, Conn.
Those famous and mysterious dis.
turbances of the Lower Connecticut
Valley, the "AIoodus nolses," are being
heard again. After a silence of twelve
years they have broken forth once
more ina manner similar TO that in
which they first fell upon the white
mans ear 200 years ago. The phe
nomenon has manifested itself at East
Haddam, pretty village which stands
near Mount Tom and not far from the
village of Moodus. The mountain
which has been the scene of these sing
ular noises as far back as the Indian
traditions run Is a lofty, sugar-loaf
shaped eminence near the east bank
of the Connecticut River. Those latest
manifestation astonished the East
Haddam people one afternoon about 4
o'clock, when what was at first thought
to be clap of thunder was heard.
Then came a roar like the echoes of a
distant cataract, increasing and dying
away I'm time to time. The sounds
came directly from Mount Tom, and
the good people of East Haddam were
not long in guessing what they were.
After period of about two hours the
noises died away. only to return again
next morning between and o'clock.
At this time there was the crashing of
heavy muflled thunder, mingled with
a roaring sound not unlike the wind In
a tempest. The ground was shaken,
s4aIlSfnar ha1tzae n fPannAl44 "a nH pPnnkaFU
and glassware to rattle, as though In
an earthquake. Prolonged under
ground rumblings seemed to accom-
pany the disturbance and occasionally
there would be short, sharp shock.
The groanings of Mount Tom are mat
tiers of history. but the cause Of the
phenomenon no one seems able TO ex
plain. All the noises emanate from the
mountain which the red men called
"Mach-i- Moodus-''the place of noise"
The Indians held that the Moodus
noises were the mutterings OF the
anger of the great spirit In consequence
of the white mans having entered the
red mans domain. For twenty years,
up to 1T29. the Moodus villagers heard
these noises almost continually, and
during that time the sounds seem to
have been more remarkable than those
that have followed since. After the
great earthquake at Lisbon these mani
festations Went away until one Sunday
In 1852. They came again in 1885,
when they attracted considerable at
teton. Scientific men have attempted
10 call the noises little earthquakes,
but no reason is given as 10 why they
occur nowhere else in the Connecticut
valley save at Moodus.

BumbIebees in Australia,

A Swedish writer, Frau Hanson, in
her "nas Buch der Frauen, thus de-
scribes the relation between modern
men and women: 1T Is peculiar sign
of the times that III spite of the many
restrictions of former days men and wo-
men have never stood wider apart than
at present and have never understood
one another more badly than now. The
honest, unselfish sympathy, the true, !
should like to say organical, union,
which is still to be observed in the mar
ried life of old people, seems to have
vanished Each goes his or her own
way. There may be a nervous search for
each other and a short finding, but it is
soon followed by speedy losing. Is it
the men who are to blameP The men Of
former days were doubtless very differ
ent, but in their relations to women
they were scarcely more sociable than
at present. Or Is it the women who are
at fault?
For some time past have watched
life in its many phases and have come
to the conclusion that it is the woman
who either develops the mans charac-
ter or ruins it. His mother and the wo-
man to whom he unites himself leave
an everlasting mark upon the impress
sionable side of his nature. In mos
cases the final question is not, What il
the man like? but, What kind of WON
an is she? And | think that the answer
is as follows: A woman's actions ar
more reasonable than they used to be
and her love is also more reasonable
The consequence is lessening of thu
passion that is hers to give. which agaii
