THE STARRY
PROCESSION
Jupiter, King Of The Plane
tary Host, Leads.
1.-THE VIRGIN OF SPRING."
Venus Now the Evening Star And
Growing Brighter Every Day.

Looking overhead about s o'clock
during the evenings of this month, we
see the heavens have put On a some
what different appearance since last
month. Orion, which was almost d.
rectly overhead, has now passed the
meridian: and is slowly approaching
the wes tern horizon. To the north vest
of Orion we see Taurus, containing
those two BILE clusters of stars
known as the Hyades and Pleiades, so
often mentioned by the %ancients.
The Pleiades are also called "Vir-
gins of Spring." because the sun enters
this group about the 18th of May. The
Eternal One who made time makes al
fusion to this circumstance when He
asks of Job: ''Can'st the Pleiades, etc"
Before the time of Abraham the vernal
equinox took place and the year opened
when the sun was In Taurus: aud the
Bull was the leader and prince of the
celestial host for. 2 900 ye.rs. The
Ram mex enjoyed this honor, and now

Close to the western horizon we see
Aries. the Ram, which may be readily
known by ear of two bright stars in
the head about 4 degrees apart: the
most northeasterly of the two being the
brightest. Hipparchus informs us that
twenty-five centuries ago Aries occu-
pied the first sign in the ecliptic. But

dollars worth of tickets on hand, most
of which would expire by Limitation
June 1st anc the passage OF the or
dinance in its present form would aft. ct
these.
Judge Kemp said hat while the
ordinance was general in its terms 1t
was limited specifically as to time. 1t
was almost impossible to specify any
particular class Of ticket. 1t was
identical in language with the original
statute passed blythe state. He under-
stood that the railroad would give the
ten dollar rate In any event, but would
not interest themselves in advertising
it aud getting together a large crowd.
Mr.. Whitmore thought the commit
tee could attend to these details as
there was plenty of time before it was
needed and the matter was dropped.
CONTRACT. RATIFIED
The clerk then submitted the con
tract drawn I'D between the city and
the new electric light company provid-
ing for the sixty arc lights for the
CITY streets. Some of the aldermen
thought the height of the poles to be
used should be specified in the con-
tract and q long wrangle follow ed but
no action was taken and the contract
was ratified without alteration by a
unanimous vote.
Alderman Clifford asked permission
to have the money received from the
supplemental city hall bonds and
sewer bonds, now in Ell Paso from the
east, placed in the proper fund. The
request was granted.
Under the head of new business Mr..
Whitmore thought that it Was about
time to settle the matter of the cleo
ton for aldermen and treasurer.
Judge Kemp, when asked about the
matter, said the charter provided
that vacancies in the administration
to occur, should be filed by the
no later than the second
Tuesday in April, and there would be
no election as usual.
The council then az adjourned.

e~quinoXes Aries is now the secon con
stellalion in the Zodiac. Almost half
-, way between Aries and The north star,
/ and a little towards the east, we see a
constellation which cannon fail to at
tract the observers attention.. This is
J Perseus, containing the bright and va
! riable star Alool, which ca, be easily
distinguished by means of three stars
of the fourth agDitude, lying a few
degrees southwest of it and forming a
small triangle. AS Algol continues
above the horizon Is hours out of every
"a it may be seen every evening from
September to May. The Milky Way
around Perseus is very bright. South
! east of Perseus is Auripa, with milk
white Capells. Capella may be readily
known by q little sharp-pointed train
gle formed by three stars, 3 or 4 degrees
this side OF it on the left. To the south
east of Aurlga we see Gemini, contain
ing the bright twin stars Castor and
Pollux situated or the edge of the
Milky Way. Pollux is the brightest Of
these two stars, and is situated about 4
degrees southeast of Castor. These
two stars are now almost directly over
head. Due south of Pollux and at q
distance of % degrees we see Prociou,
a very bright star in the Little Dog,
while about 26 degrees southwest of
Procion is Sirius. the brightest fixed
star in all the heavens. Ursa Major,
the Great Bear, is climbing up high
above the horizon. and will ere long be
in the meridian. There are seven
bright stars in the Great Bear, fsmi-
liarly termed the Dipper. TIE two
most westerly stars in the bowl of the
Dipper are situated ) degrees apart.
and are, by common consent, termed
the Pointers, for the reason they
always point to the North Star, for,
let the line which joins them be con
ttnued about % degrees, and it will
reach the North Pole. 1t is well for
the reader to remember this as these
stars. being always visible and more
familiar than any others: they serve
as a standard of measure which the eye
can readily make use of in determi-
ming the distance betwee other stars.
In a southerly direction from the
Dlpper We see the constellation Leo,
which Is one of the most brilliant
considerations in the winter skies. 1t
contains one star of the first
magnitude. one of the sec
Ond, six of third and fifteen of the
fourth. The star of the first magnitude
Is in the breast of the animal, and is
named Regulos, in honor of the illus
trious Roman consul of that name.
The planet Venus, which is still an
evening star, is day by day increasing
In ~brillidncy. This beautiful planet,
which shines with q light so splendid
that none can mistake her, can be
seen before the twilight has ceased to
be visible. And she will set about 9: 30

o'clock In the evening. Venus never
shines in tie western horizon more
than three hours after sunset, nor
appears in the eastern horizon more
than three hours before sunrise. Con-
sequently, any star Or p'auet, no matter
how brilliant, which sets later or rises
earlier cannot be Venus.
The royal Jupiter, king OF the Plar
etary Host, Is now our morning star,
rising about midnight. He is still in
close proximity to the bright-red star,
Antares, in the Scorpion.

Vancouver y. c., Sept. 19-In an in
teryiew with Lieut. r. T. Hobson. pub
lished in a local paper, Hobson Is
quoted as saying that Admiral Dewey
did not sink the Spanish ships at Ma
Mia, but that the spaniards opened the
valves and scuttled the ships them
selves He bases his conclusions upon
the fact that he saw the hulls OF the
Spanish fleet when the ships had been
taken to Hougk0ng for repairs. and he
says those hulls were uninjured below
the water line The pertinent part Of
the interview follows
Asked In what condition he had found
The hulls OF the lsla de Cuba. the lsla
de Luzon, and the rest Of the fleet when
he arrived at Hongkong 20 superlntend
repairing operations, Lieut.. H0bson
said.
The damage TO the hulls was mainly
the result OF the six months submer-
sion. The upper works had been badly
damaged by fire, the woodwork having
been destroyed and the iron plates be-
ing badly twisted by the heat"
What. In your opinion, was the di-
rect cause of the founding Of the yes
sels?' he was asked
'Oh, the Spaniards pulled out the.
plugs and opened the valves. They
SANK the ships themselves our shell
fire did very little damage
Then they were not injured below
the water line2'
VERY little" replied Hobson 1--WE
had practically done them no damage
there at all"
