observatory on Mare Island, Cal, says the

says:

also Venus likewise has escaped cor

and still rotates in q hours, q minutes.
as has been held by observers since the
day Of Cassini, In 1867.
Accordingly, 1t follows that the con-
ditions of this planet are more like those
of the earth than any other body ef our
system.
Venus rotates S5 minutes faster than
the earth and is inside the earth's orbit
There is seen to be a profound physician
