ing out of the Constellation Gemini and nearly across the Grab. Toward mid night the planet is in excellent position for preservation: even small telescope will show the beautiful rose-coiored bands marked on 1t and the four satel- lltes which attend 1t. And if the observer will look through his telescope at inter vals for about an hour he will discover for himself that this great world is turn ing rapidly on it's axis and that It's four moons are revolving about it-always a most impressive and interesting sight.
 The Other Planets.
 In the southwest there are the>two planets Mars and Saturn. The former is now but little more than half full; in spite of its great distance the polar cap and the clearer markings can still be seen in a moderately large telescope. Mars is moving so rapidly eastward that during November and December 1t sets at nearly the same hour every night. On December 31 this motion carries it past the planet Saturn. Both planets can then be seen together in a small telescope when the contrast of the rud- dy color of Mars with the dull yellow of Saturn will be very striking
 Saturn is now seen as & round. green ish yellow ball, with few indistinct shadings on its surface and a perfectly black straight line across its center from east to west This line is the shadow of the ring on the planet The rings themselves are still invisible, and will not reappear until next month, when our earth will again pass below their plane and enable us to look on their small side. This disappearance of the rings. which

of 225 days is not very different from ours, and 1t is known to be surrounded by very dense atmosphere. The last feature unfortunately prevents us from clearly distinguishing any markings on it's surface whether it is covered with great seas, as the earth was in the early ages, or whether, like Mars. 1t has very little water we cannot tell. But 1t Is known that the planet turns always the same face toward the sun, so that on one-half of the world there Is perpetual day and on the other intending night.
 At present Venus looks almost round in the telescope. The observer will be interested to see 1t very slowly change it's phase from full to half and finally to the narrowest imaginable silvery crescent, after which it will pass between us and the sun and become a morning star.
 The Planet Jupiter.
 While the planet Venus is running rap idly upward among the stars in the southwest, the gradual change of the heavens has again brought that part of the celestial sphere which contains the great planet Jupiter into the evening sky. Since we last saw this planet 1t has been moving steadily eastward In its 12- year Journey around the heavens. pass
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-12-01

CT the planet. On March 12 it's lower edge will almost graze Jupiter, and to ob- servers in high attitudes the planet will be seen to actually disappear behind it. After this date the two bodies will sep arate again. On January IS the chang ing path of the moon will lie exactly be- tween us and the planet Neptune.
 The New Comet.
 A new, rather faint comet was discov- cred on October IS near the point of A, Fig. 1, which moved westward into the Milky Way and reached the point B by November 10. This little visitor from the depths of space had fallen swiftly to- ward our sun, and had passed around that body on September IF, so that at the date of discovery it was again rapid- ly receding. In two months 1t made the journey from the sun to the earth; 1t passed our planet on November 10, but even when nearest to us it was not visl- ble except with small telescope. It was a round nebulous object without any sign of a tail, it's greatest diameter being about one-sixth that of the moon. Such a comet is a swarm of meteoric particles and gases which after sweeping around our sun recedes into the depths of space never to be seen by us again.

Bazar Closes.

The Catholic bazar which has been run ming in this city for the past four days close. this evening and the ladies in charge report a very fine business, al- though they could have done a great deal more had the weather for the past day or two not been so bad.
 The bazaar was given for the purpose of raising funds for the convent which Is to be erected at an early date, on the corner of Eighteenth street and Sixth avenue. The church has already paid for the lot and it is one of the most valuable pieces of property in the city.
 The ladies of the church have worked hard and faithfully trying to raise funds with which to help the convent work along, and their efforts have met with very generous measure of success
 The bazaar given this year has been handicapped to a certan. extent on &C., count of the genera depression, still, it has on the whole been quite 0 success, and the ladies that had the work in charge and carried it through deserve a great deal of credit. They gave stuff for the affair and besides they went down early in the morning and stayed until late in the evening, and now that their work for the year is finished in this con nection they are to be congratulated on the success they have attained.

occurs only once every 15 years is Of great value to Us in learning their struc- ture, for just as the rings disappear and reappear we view them exactly edgewise. It Is known that they are an enormous swarm of little particles revolving in a thin sheet about the planet-really an infinite number of little moons. At the present disappearance it was discovered that these particles are gathered together more thickly in some places than in others, so that when the rings were seen edgewise they had a slightly irregular, knotted appearance.
 The Path of the Moon.
 Beside the conjunction of Mars and Saturn, above mentioned, Venus will pass one degree south of Uranus at mid- night of December Il, and the moon will pass a little more than one degree north of Jupiter on the morning of De- cember 23. If the observer will notice the conjunctions of the moon with Ju- pter during the next few months he can easily discover that while our satellite moves completely around the celestial sphere in one month, It's path among the stars is continually changing. The moon will pass north of Jupiter on January IS. February IA and March 12, but at each successive passage 1t will approach near

BESSEMER TAXES
 REACH $12,0O0 Collections for November Beat Those of Last Year

 and General.

Bessemer, November 90.-(Special)-The city treasurer of Bessemer was helped this month with real and personal taxes to the amount of nearly $12,O0O Last year for the month of November the collections amounted to a little over $S0OO, so it will be seen from this that the taxpayers have concluded to give their property In at a little nearer the real value than has been done for the past several years.
 Today at the clerks office was an eX- tremely busy one, and both Clerk Ed Stubbs and Assistant Tax Collector Jim 1 Houston were kept busy all day taking 1 in the real long green. It has not been | the custom in the last few weeks for any | one to pay out anything that he was not absolutely compelled to, but today they were around the city hall all day, and, whats more, they reached there at an early hour. Today was the last day in which to pay taxes without being put on the delinquent list, and, of course, that would mean little more cost
 Clerk Stubbs got quite busy some time I ago-somethng unusual for him-and mo- tified them one and all that today was the day and he would take no excuse for non-payment He wound up his little notes by telling the different taxpayers that the city needed the money, and some one would have to dig up. One old man walked into the office this afternoon; and it is supposed that he thought he had the clerk up against it when he asked him if he would take strip for his taxes.
 The clerk replied that all he wanted to see was the color of the strip" and he would do the rest
 The clerk got the scrip and the old man got his tax receipt for the year 1907, but he did not depart with the same kind of smile that he entered with.

When Does Reason Dawn2

From the Outing Magazine for December.
 As there must be a point back along the line of our descent where conscious ness began-consciousnes in the animal and self-consciousness in man--so there must be a point where reason began. If we had all the missing links in the chain, no doubt we might approximately at least determine the point of the form in which 1t first dawned. The higher an- thropoid apes which are, no doubt, a lat eral branch of the stem of the great bio- logical tree that bore man, show occa- sional gleams of it, but reason. as we ascribe it to the lower orders. Is more a kind of symptomatic reason. a vague foreshadowing of reason rather than the substance itself. For a long time the child is without reason, or any mental concepts, and all it's activities are re- actions to stimuli. like those of an ani- nal; 1t is merely q bundle of instincts, but by and by 1t begins to show some- thing higher and we hail the dawn of reason, and it's development from the an- imal plane into the human.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-12-01

During December the two brightest planets of all will enter the evening sky. The beautiful Venus has now become our evening star, and throughout the month II may be seen low in the southwest, shining out with its clear, silvery light in the sunset glow. It is drawing rapidly eastward from the sun, so that although on December sets about one hour after sunset, by the end of the month it will remain in the sky for more than two hours after the sun has disappeared.
 The Planet Venus.
 As the winter months go by, this most beautiful of all planets will mount ever higher in the sky until it will become easily the most conspicuous object of the heavens. It's greatest brilliancy will be reached on May 29th. About this time 1t is not impro obable that the reader may sec an occasional newspaper note that d great electric light has been seen up in the west, or that the star of Bethlehem has reappeared, for when brightest the planet is so striking an object that 1t excites the interest and speculations even of those who are wholly unfamiliar with the sky.
 Venus is often called our sister earth, for it is of almost exactly the same size as the planet on which we dwell; its year

City Court.

The city court has been quite busy this week hearing civil cases, and several im- portant decisions have been handed down by Judge William Jackson, one of the most important being that of the case of the widow of man named Drake, who was a brakeman on the Southern, and who was killed by a switch engine some time ago. His widow sued the road for $25,000 and the jury returned verdict for $6500. The verdict was set aside and the case will come up for another hearing in the near future.
 Another important matter which con- cerns the city of Bessemer materially was that of the city of Bessemer against the Alabama Great Southern and the South ern The attorneys for the city argued that these two roads should be made to pay certain amount of tax on their rolling stock. The attorneys for the roads could not see the matter In this light and they set up the claim that the proposed tax was unconstitutional, and for that reason the roads objected to the payment of it. Judge Jackson rendered a decision in favor of the defendants and it now remains for the city of Bessemer to take the case to the supreme court and get a decision from that body.
