sky having thus been cleared of these
two bright planets, Venus rises at $3.50
o'clock, and, when she has well risen
from the eastern horizon, presides with
magnificent queenly grace over the entire
sky up to the very moment when the
sun shows his rim in the east; and even
after the sun has well assembled Venus
the meridian, and some there are who no
doubt bear true testimony to having seen
Venus at midday. 1t will still be several
months before Venus will be seen In the

year has come in. But this planet has a
peculiar charm as seen through the silent
atmosphere of early morn or even against
the reddenlng eastern sky, which none can
afford to miss who have never witnessed
it, And those who are still enjoying their
vacations at the seaside, where there Is
a clear edsterly view across the waves
Of old ocean, have the very finest of OPP

then are they fixed II a vast swarm OF

is one of the illusions of astronomy. IL
Is ourselves who are marching past the
sun, Az the rate of more than a thousand
miles a minute. the earth Is nying In Its
vast orbit round about the sun. The sun
is Immensely nearer to us than the stars.

over the planet, and was within two days
Of being full; il will not be seen in the
same position at the time of the Septem-
Der conjunction. The moon, by reason
of the inclination of its orbit, swings back
and forth across the ecliptic, SO near to
which the pltnets travel, and so meets
the planets in widely varying positions.
II is manifest, too, that 1t is a younger
moon that reaches the planets each
month, so that at the time of the De-
cember conjunction, the moon will be
short of it's first quarter. These are
among the things to be noted in watching
