SOME CURIOUS COMMENT.
Made on Plain Statement OF Facts
About New Mexico Atmosphere.


A certain writer on a Las Vegas
paper comments on Delegate Rodey's
assertion, on one occasion, that he
had traced the stars in their courses
with his naked eye from the streets OF
Albuquerque. with better vision than
when he looked through Bostons
great telescope; and In his comment
the Las Vegas man declares that Mr.
Rodey Intentionally used hyperbole.
and to prove 1t gravely informs the
public that through the telescope
referred to, the moons OF Jupiter look
brighter than Jupiter ever looks to
the naked eye.
Does the young fellow really sup
pose that Jupiter is a star? Prob
ably he does, as he caps the climax
by speaking Of Jupiter as her" And
yet in the very article commented
on. the error OF confounding the stars
and planets was guarded against, by
allusion TO the fact that the most pow.
erful telescopes can make no more
OF the stars than points OF light.
The writer OF that article did not
introduce the mountain facts and the
Las Vegas incidents to strengthen
Mr. Rodey's statement or the writer's
own argument, other than so far as
East concerning New Mexicos atmo-
spheric conditions.
II will take more than the ursup-
ported statement OF the Las Vegas
writer to convince any one that dur
ing more than 100 days of each year
Venus can be seen at noon, bit
short distance from the sun, by an
observers naked eye. looking from
the observatory OF the great tele-
scope or course, when Venus shines
in the evening sky as the sun goes
down, or in the morning sky before
the sun appears above the horizon,
any one can sec the planet with his
naked eye, If he has a mind to look
for Il: but 20 see II at MONDAY, when
II Is passing from one Of these posi-
ions with reference to the sun to
the other, Is not given TO anyone TO
see more than 100 days in a year.
In the present year, for instance,
Venus shone in the evening till Sep
tember II, and will shine In the morn
ing for the remainder Of the year.
The fact is that the recent Las
Vegan, In his mad haste to find some
thing over which he may spit and
sputter at The Citizen, will some day
butt out his-well whatever In him
fills the place where brains ought to

USE OF OIL AS FUEL.

SO successful has the Santa Fe been
in It's experiments with oil as fuel for
its locomotives on its western lines

of fuel will be shown In due time on

The company made It's first expert

extensive purchases o. oil lands were
made In Texas and California. many
OF tho locomotives in service west OF
Albuquerque, N. NJ, were fitted out
with oil burners at considerable cost.

warranted the expenditures. A COM
