Venus continues as the evening star
throughout the month, and shines from
the western heavens for more than two
hours after sunset. She has two eonjunc-
tons with the moon; the first being on the

Mars is very unfavorably located for OBJ
servation. and hence but little interest is
attracted to this planet during the spring
and summer months. Owing to his great
distance from the earth, his usual promi-
nence on the celestial sphere is greatly
diminished during May. He is nearest the
full moon on the 18th.
Jupiter is at opposition with the sun on
the 9th. He reigns as sovereign among
the morning stars previous to that date

briIliancy owing to its near proximity
with the moon, which is most marked on
the 18th.
Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are all so
located during May as to afford little in
terest to the casual observer.

SUGGESTED FOR SUPREME

To the Editor of the Register.

To the Editor of the Register.
WESTON, w. Va, May S.-The
writer desires, through the columns Of
your paper, to recommend to the con-
sideration of the delegates to the State
convention, soon to convene at Park
ersburg, the name of Robert G. Linn.
of the county of Gilmer. as one on
whom the nomination for judge of the
Supreme Court of Appeals could be
worthily conferred. Mr.. Linn has been
quite prominently mentioned in con-
nection with this office; and although
it is said he is not candidate for the
nomination, it is believed that he
would accept the honor if it were be-
slowed upon him. He is regarded as
one of the best all round lawyers in
West Virginia to-day. Moreover, he
possesses in marked measure all of
the essential qualifications of an ideal
judge. He has many friends through
out this section who would be much
gratified TO have him make the race,
and should he consent to do so he
would be assured of an enthusiastic
support from the Lewis county delega-
ton to the State convention.

ANDREW CARNEGIE

Says Iron and Steel Prices Will Not
Fall, and That Conditions Are Sat-
isfactOry.
LONDON. May 10.-Mr. Andrew Car
negie was present at the concluding
session to-day of the iron and steel in
stitutes annual meeting. He briefly
addressed the delegates, thanking
them for the reception accorded him.
In an interview with a representa-
tive of the Associated Press he said:
Having only arrived this morning
have had no time to learn what
change has occurred while 1 was on
the Atlantic, but, basing my opinion
on the conditions which existed when
left, l can unhesitatingly say | do
not believe any serious reduction in
prices will occur in the iron and steel
market. The worlds demand shows
signs of increasing rather than de-
creasing. The recent drop in America
was merely transition from fictitious
to real values. Such famine prices as
had been reached were impossible to
prove lasting. Naturally if the Amer
lean Steel & Wire Company insists on
refusing to take material for which
they contracted depressing influence
must be felt. But / regard this action
and the shutting down of mills as COM
paratiyely unimportant factors of
merely temporary effect and not in the
least likely to result in any serious
diminution of prices or in the produc-
ton of the worlds steel and iron mar
ket. l am entirely satisfied with the
present situation"

THE SKIES DURING MAY.
Passage From Taurus to Gemini.
Consultations Visfb1e-The PIan-

cts.
| The all absorbing astronomical event of
| the month, one which already proves to
be of such Importance with all classes,
| that all others appear to fade into insig-
nificance below it, is the rare phenomenon
| of a total eclipse of the sun, which is
scheduled for the morning of the 18th of
May.
The portions of the earths surface over
| which the moons shadow will sweep at a
velocity of nearly 70 miles per minute,
either as a partial or total eclipse, is the
whole of North America, the extreme
western part of South America, the North
Asia and Africa.
AS total eclipse, the shadow will rush
along a track about 55 miles broad, at
the amazing velocity of over 1900 miles
an hour-a rate of speed that far exceeds
that of the swiftest flying projectile ever
put in motion by the ingenuity of man.
The path of totality is a narrow strip
about ffty-five miles wide, beginning at
sunrise in the Pacific ocean, southwest of
the Gulf of California, extending across
the continent over New Orleans, Raleigh,
and Norfolk; thence across the Atlantic
ocean to Spain and Algeria, ending near
the Red Sea at sunset While this eclipse
will be visible as total one TO a compar-
atively small area, yet the partial phase
will be seen all over the United States,
and even as far north as Alaska.
By reason of the time of totality occur
ring so early in the morning, the shadow
at first falls obliquely upon the earth, and
hence moves more rapidly over the first
part of its course in a similar manner in
which cloud shadows while traversing the
country are observed to glide more quick
ly up and down the slopes of hills and
mountains than when travelling at a more
direct angle with the line upon which the
shadow is cast.
The length of time in which the suns
disk is completely covered by the Opaque
body of the moon, is but one minute and
eight seconds at New Orleans, La, while
at Raleigh, n, c., it continues three sec
onds longer and so on until it reaches
the noon mark far out in the Atlantic
ocean, when it lasts for not more than
two minutes.
The beginning and ending of the obscu-
ration at the different points indicated be-
low are computed for the local mean time
of the place:
