The Axiai Rotation of Venus.

For over two centuries it was gener- ally accepted that. like the earth, the planet Venus rotated on it's axis In a little less than twenty-four hours. bu, since Schiaparelli after long and care full observation of the planet suggest ed that the actual rotation period was between six and nine months astron, omers have devoted much attention to this matter. In the Observatory MT Denning sums up the available evi. dence on the point and can only con, clude that this particular problem still defles solution. Life on Venus would be very different from life on the earth should the planets avial rotation be, as Schiaparelli asserted, identical with the period of it's revolution round the sun, as in that case the same hemi- sphere would always be turned to the sun and enjoy perpetual day, while tue opposite hemisphere would be doomed to eternal night.

San Francisco, June 17.,-Mayor Schmit:
was formally removed from office by the
supervisors at their meeting this after
noon. Supervisor James Gallagher was
named as acting mayor in his place.
This is the first step in the graft prose
cutinn in the plan to restore good govern
ment in San Francisco. The ground on
which Mayor Schmitz was removed is
that. owing to his incarceration in the
county Jail following his conviction on n
felony charge. he is no longer able to
perform his official duties.
Gallagher will not hold the position of
acting mayor for more than a few days.
The resignation of n certain member of
the board of supervisors will make room
for the appointment of responsible Citi-
zen who will take Gallasher'& place as
acting mayor.
