THE PLANETS.

They All, With Their Satellites, Ex-
hibit Phases Like the Moon.
We are likely TO regard the moon as
the only thing in the heavens that ex-
hibits phases such as the quarter, the
half and the full. AS q matter OF fact,
ell planets and their satellites exhibit
separately such phases. and most OF
them can be easily seen with small
power telescope. Thus Mars and We
aus. which are comparatively close TO
the earth. show through the telescope
at times a beautiful crescent. ar others
half planet fully as brilliant. consid-
ering the distance. as does our satellite.
At times also the planets suffer eclipse,
just as the earth. the moon and the
sun. and these eclipses are foretold
with as great accuracy.
AS TO just what causes the phases,
say OF the moon. is easy to comprehend
by homely analogy. II one stands in
corner OF room. places globe OF
some description in the next corner and

enon Of the half moon Is seen. The

merely allowing this time a view from
the "earth" OF the whole amount OF
Illumination. All the phases can be
demonstrated in this manner by NOV
ing the moon" directly outward from
its corner.
One OF the greatest discoveries OF sci
ence is due 10 observation OF the
eclipses OF Jupiter's moons. 1t was
found that when the earth was in the
part OF its orbit nearest TO Jupiter
these eclipses occurred sixteen minutes
earlier than when IL was In the far
thermost part. whereas by all rules OF
astronomy they should have occurred
at the same minute each time. Ii was
deduced from this that light was not

Town Election in June

The Corporation election will be
held on June IA (second Tuesday,
this year, and already we hear
rumors Of several aspirants.
The many friends of Mr.. l.. V.
Stole are urging him TO make the
race, but so far he has not made
any final announcement.
His friends say that he is just
the man for the place at this time;
that we need a man who will
enforce the law to the limit; and
that any man who violates a law
whether it be IA billiOnaire or a
beggar-should be made TO pay
for his fun. In fact there are
many citizens. who have seen
Town Ordinances violated. who
think that the rock-piIe is the
proper place for the violators to do
penance.
While we have many friends
among the automobile class" we
are inclined to believe that a little
rock pile work for two or three
speed maniacs would make our
local enthusiasts careful at all
times.
There Is one thing certain. We
believe a year Of the closest appIi-
ton of every existing law would
make the bad laws 50 unpopular
that they would be repealed. and
would place the popular laws upon
the firmest imaginable footing.
Mayor Jones stated 10 the Cor
RIER man last night that he had
never at any time. during the many
years he has been Mayor. been a

morning of that term; had never
asked for a vote. and did not

he would solicit a nomination.

Home From Legislature.

Hon. Ralph Grigsby returned
home from tina Legislature Sunday
night. and attended the session of
the Board of Supervisors on Mon
day.
Mr.. Grigsby was one of the
hardest workers in the House of
Delegates, and his work was com
mended by nearly all Of the Rich
mond papers, as well as others
throughout the State.
Clarke and Warren have elected
a Woodworking and energetic citi-
zen to represent them in the lower
House, and his work will show how
true friend he is to the great
plain people of the district and the
State.
The Winchester Star of yester-
day pays him distinct compliment
in the following editorial mention:
Hon. j. r. Grigsby, Of the
county of Clarke, who represented
Clarke and Warren in the session
of the legislature which has Just
closed, is a most attentive and eff
clent Legislator. He was never out
of his seat and was always attend
ing to business. He acquired and
maintained the affection and con-
fidence of his colleagues and his
wishes were respected by them.
When called upon to defend his
measures he did so with vigor and
directness. Clarke and Warren
have nothing to regret in having
elected Mr.. Grigsby."
