rr7HE planet Venus is 100 carat

western sky each evening, during a
large part of each month.
During the rest of the month Venus
exhibits in the morning before sunrise.

Venus is only a trifle smaller than
tie earth, being 1926 miles in diam
eter, it Is, however, much younger
and may not have got its growth.
Telescope chauffeurs tell us that a 16O
pound man would only weis.l 1870
pounds on Venus. However, no astrOn-
Omer has as yet discovered how much
a ton of coal would weigh on Venus,
and until this is discovered, emigra-
ton to that planet is bound to be very
small
Astronomers should strive to cDnfine
themselves to useful Investigations.
Venus is beautiful star, when
viewed with the Salomized eye, but it
is a disappointing sight through the
telescope It has no canals like Mars,
satellites like Jupiter, or craters like
the moon. 1t ap. ears simply as

caused by the dense clouds, in which
the planet is always enveloped Ac-
cOrding to the best authorities, they
do not have any sunshine to speak of
or Venus. This, however, is a blessing,
for Venus is only 66,00O.0OO miles from
the sun, and is supposed to keep one
side perpetually turned toward it. as it
revOlves. Think of waking up at a.
