THE LIGHT OF PLANETS.
Influence Of Phase and Rotation Upon
Their Brightness.

Influence Of Phase and Rotation Upon
Their Brightness.
The total luminosity Of the noon va
ries according t the proportion Of its
Illuminated hemisphere which is turn
ed toward the earth-that is to say, in
accordance with the phase" Of the
satellite. Mercury and Venus show
similar but smaller differences of
phase and brightness. The exterior
planets vary in phase so little that the
variation in their brightness is barely
perceptible. The brightness Of planets
can be measured by the astropho-
tometer, and the dependence Of the
brightness upon the phase can be ex-
pressed by a curve.
As it seemed possible that some in
formation in regard to the surface of
the planets could be obtained from the
study of such curves, Won Aufsess has
made a series Of experiments to deter
mine the relation between brightness
and phase in the case Of Illuminated
masses Of limestone, sandstone, gran
lite and other materials Of spherical
and other forms. The measurements
Of brightness were made in a COM
pletely dark room. The artificial plant
was illuminated by a Nernst lamp, not
directly, but by reflection from a plane
sheet Of glass. through which the OBJ
ject could be observed in the "full"
phase. The lamp and the reflector
were mounted on an arm which could
be turned around the object in order
to vary the phase.
When the results were plotted the
curves representing the brightness as
a function Of the phase were found to
fall into two classes. according to the
character Of the material to which the
globes were composed. Globes Of
light colored material gave curves con
cave below. while the curves produced
by globes Of darker material are cor
cav above. Small elevations and de-
pressions. glossy surfaces, ETC.. were
found to produce comparatively little
effect upon the curves. the character
Of which was in general decided al
most entirely by the lightness or dark
ness of the surface. The curves pro-
duced by Venus and the moon are
concave above; hence it appears prob
able . that the surfaces Of these two
planets are formed Of dark colored
material. -Prometheus.

There had been half a dozen stories
Of thick fogs, but Captain Mansfield
had waited his turn with patience. 1t
came at last, and the other captains
turned their weather beaten faces to-
ward him with an expression of cheer
full credulity.
""Twas told me Of a house setting
pretty nigh the shore along halfway
down the coast O. Maine," said Cap
tain Mansfield. 81 could show you the
house If it came right. 1t has a curl
Gus lopsided portico on it, and n day
1 asked the man that lives there why
1t happened to be built that queer
shape.
"'Well,' says he, the talk is that the
man who lived here first had a cousin
that was an architect up Boston way,
and one time the Teller was down here
in a terrible foggy spell, and he was
figuring out to his cousin how he could
build a little portico of such and such
dimensions, measuring out into the fog
with his rule, and so on.
"''Twas in the late afternoon. He
went off next day by train. The fog
still held, and along in the morning
the man that lived here happened to
notice that the marks Of the rule out
into the fog were still plain, so as he
couldn't go a-fishing he took some
lumber and built the foundations of
this portico. That queer jog that
makes it lopsided is where the wind
bore in on the fog, they say, and bent
the rule marks in.'"

INTRODUCING A
NEW SONG HERE
Lulu Thatcher, an ogden Girl,
Sings Utah" by Ogden
Composers.

Mis- Lulu Thatcher. vocalist at the
Globe theater. has been introducing
q song during the past week which
has received much favorable COM
ment, not only on account of its gen
uinc merit. but because 1t is the pro-
duct OF an Ogdenite.
The song is entitled Utah. the
words and music being by Harry H..
Atwood and arranged by Charles
Thatcher. whose daughter sings il.
This is the first pioneer song with
Utah as its theme and its decided
success should prove an incentive for
other composers and song writers TO
made similar attempts along this line.
The words Of utah are as follows:
l.
All hail TO thee. Oh fair Utah.
Thy hills and valleys broad.
A paradise of love and peace,
Dwells ever on the sod
Thou art we'll crowned Queen of the
West,
For the sunny cline.
Great woods, prairfes. and ripping
streams.
Grand canyons. deep. sublime.
Chorus
All hail to thee. oh fair Utah,
May praises ever ring,
True love for thee, on land and sea,
Thy chlldrens voices sing
The Wasatch mountains proudly
stand
In their majestic height
The stalwart trees and verdant
flowers.
The Sage lilies white
Bright sunbeams play upon tho shores
or thy great inland sea.
And storms that toss the crusted
waves
Breathe forth their mastery.

or the brave pioneers of old,
The storys oft been told.
