It is half-past noon of Easter eve (Old
Style) and hot Jerusalem sun is blazing
upon US, who, tightly packed on a fat
house-roof, are intently staring at the
far more crowded multi -colored throng
below. There, in the court Of the Holy
Sepulchre, IS a humming and stirring Of
many-tongued and motley garbed, eager
looking men, women and wondering chill
dren holding by their skirts. Above the
double -arched church entrance are twin
arched windows; one is filed by a muslin
harem of black draped fat women, above
a crazy balcony where pink geraniums
untidily blossom. On the fiat roof rain
bow-hued umbrellas scallop the sky line.
Sitting childrens fat legs thrust between
the rusty railing make top fringe, those
limbs seeming best-stoclIinged that show
warm brown shod with old red slippers.
All are watching, waiting.
Down there the double lines of good
humored Turkish soldiers are guarding
an opening passage for all manner of
quarrelsome Christians, whose garments
invite searching for concealed weapons.

WONDERS OF THEPLANET SATlJRN
O. T.

In Our former view of the heavens
we gave especial attention to Jupiter
only. omitting also many interesting
features belonging to that planet. We
can now proceed to look at other mem
bers of the solar family
One method Of recognizing the plan
cts has already been pointed out 1t
will be of further service to the OBJ
server to make use of the moon in
finding these bodies when they are
unknown to him. The moon makes the
circuit in month; or, more accurate
ly, In about twenty mine and one-half
days. Fortunately for US, it's path lies
quite near the ecliptic, which it
crosses twice in each month, and
which it never leaves more than a
few degrees. We have seen that the
planets also move along, or quite near
to, the ecliptic. Thus the moon will
from time to time pass between, or
quite nearly between us and each
planet; and If we are informed of the
time of such passage we can readily
recognize the planet. Thus the sky
serves as a dial, and the moon as a
hand, or index, pointing successive
iy to each planet. When the moon
passes between US and heavenly
body. or nearly so, SO that both bodies
are seen together, it is called a con-
junction. Now, some of the following
conjunctions occur, or have occurred,
during the present lunar month, that
is, from new moon to new moon
again: Mars and the moon, Sept 25;
Saturn and the moon, Sept. 80; Jupiter
and the moon, Oct. 4; Venus and the
moon, Oct. II, etc, etc.
1t should be noted in making these
observations that the moon moves
eastward about thirteen degrees each
day, there being, of course, $50 degrees
In the entire circle. 1t may also aid
the observer to remember that a de-
gree in the sky. is about twice the ap-
parent width of the moon.
Look at the moon, then, on Sunday,
Oct. 4. The large bright planet near
1t is Jupiter. Do not be surprised If
the moon passes little to the north
or the south of the planet, as 1t nearly
always does, or If 1t makes the pas
sage several hours before or after you
make your observation. When the
| moon passes exactly between us and
the planet, as it occasionally does, the
phenomenon is called an occuitation,
because for a time the planet is COM
pletely hidden. This is one of the most
beautiful planetary spectacles when
the weather and other conditions are
perfect.
Saturn.
About fifty degrees west of Jupiter,
In the constellation of Capricornus, is
the wonderful planet Saturn, now a
cons Sp1cuous evening star, though far
inferior to Jupiter in brightness. This
inferiority is due partly to smaller
size and partly to greater distance.

Saturn's Seasons.
The seasons upon Saturn are very
much like those upon the earth in
some important particulars; for since
the axis is inclined but little more than
the earth's axis, the summer sun rises
about as high there, and the winter
sun sinks about as low as they do
here. But there are also important
differences. Thus, since Saturn's year
is nearly thirty times as long as ours.

months in length are about seven and

But the most wonderful thing about
this planet--the most wonderful of all
celestial bodies-is it's ring system.
Saturn is surrounded by a system OF
rings, three or more in number, lying
in the plain of the planets equator,
between the moons and the planet it
self. Mitchell said that God left the
rings of Saturn hanging up in the
sky to show us how the worlds were
made Whether they do this or
not, they certainly furnish fine mate
rial for observation and speculation.
Calico first observed them with his
imperfect telescope, and a little in
