MARYLAND Scientist Gives

Academy of Sciences, writes of some
interesting astronomical happenings
and OF the advent of winter. as fol-
lows:
winter begins on December %.
Tho sun will then be at its greatest
southern declination In the North

shortest day in the year. and conse-
quently the longest night The sun
will be in the constellation Capricorn
and the sign Sagittarlus In the time
of Hypparchus the sun was in the
sign Capricorn and in the same con-
stellation. After the % OF December
the sun begins to decrease in it's south
ern declination and starts on its jour
ney nOrthward. This motion of the
sun is only apparent. 1t is due to the
manner in which the axis of the earth
Is inclined to the plane of It's orbit, or
the angle that the plane Of the earth s
equator makes with the plane of its
orbit amounts to something over 2S
degrees. During the motion of the

allied TO itself. and so it comes about
that sometimes the sun shines beyond
the North Pole and again beyond the
South Pole When the sun has its
greatest northern inclination we have
the longest day in the Arctic region
and the shortest in the Antarctic.
The sun has been very free from
spots during the year and seems to b'
enjoying a very quiet minimum sun

sents to us. OF course, we can see the
phases of the moon without a telescope
but to see the various phases of Venus
requires a telescope. A good telescope
Of two and a half inches aperture
wilA. with a high enough power, show
the phases. Venus is a very unsatis-
factory object to view through a tele-
scope, excepting the phases alluded to
before Surface markings seem to
battle the best observers. Even its
rotation period is uncertain. Venus,
Jupiter, Saturn and Mars will be even
ing Stars during December, but the
last three mentioned will be low down
in the western sky.
The moons phases will be as fol-
lows: The last quarter will be on the
2 Of December; new moon on the 10;
first quarter on the IS; full moon on
the 25.
Some months it happens that two
identical phases of the moon occur
during a month. For instance in July
we had two full moons, one Occurring
on the first. the other on the 81. The
reason is the time which elapses be
tween two consecutive full moons ol
new moons is termed a synOdica
month and embraces a period of abou
20 days u hours "A minutes and sec
londs. II. therefore. a new moon oc
ours on the first of the month and th'
month has more than % days and !.
hours. we can readily see how tn
phase can repeat itself and the sam
rule applies to full moons.

week. The executive council, which
Is composed Of the president, the six
vice presidents the secretary and the
treasurer of the Federation, went into
session early and did not adjourn un'

What is looked upon by many OF

workers delegates probably will be
the storm centre on this question
Both of these trade unions want in

Miscellaneous

The most notable figure of the pres
ent concert season is Madame Emma
Nevada, who has just returned to her
native land after a couple Of years
spent abroad, during one Of which she
was the prima donna at The Hague
where she sang by royal command at
the wedding Of Queen Wilhelmina
and during the season sang in opera
lat the loyal Opera House. Her sea-
son at the Hague was a triumph for
the American singer and before she
sailed for this country to make her
present tour she was the recipient Of a
fiattering offer from the Dutch capital
TO sing there again this winter. On
her last appearance in New York city,
just previous to her departure for Eu-
rope, the first time she has appeared
there since the season she sang there
under the management of the late Col
onel Mapleson as a cO-star with Patti
and rivalled, Though then a mere child
that famous diva who was then in the
zenith Of her powers, the press Of tine
metropolis was most enthusiastic in its
praise of her singing. The critics were
Unanimous in declaring her incompar.
liable vocalism perfect. Her trills, anC
lher cadenzas are all so perfect tha'
lcriticism fails. Her velvety voice il
ike flake Of silken, impalpable floss
waited through the auditorium and re
solved in tenderest melody in the con
lsciousness of her enraptured hearers
Madame Nevada will be heard in SOM
of her best selections at the Chestnu
