Bull, but as the weeks go by it will move repadily eastward, almost crossing Gemini, until by May 31 it will attain the position K. This eastward motion, in which the planet has continued for so many months will, however, soon cease On June Ii the planet will reach the position M, and will then begin to run rapidly toward the west. It will finally pass to the right of the sun and leave the evening sky on July 8.
 At present the planet Is wonderfully brilliant and so high in the heavens that it sets far in the northwest so late as seven hours after sunset. It attains its greatest brilliancy on May 27 at which time it will shine with no less than 120 times the brightness of a first magnitude star.
 No observer who possesses a small tel escope should fail to study Venus from time to time during the present month. He will see it's shape change rapidly to that of a narrow crescent as more and more of the night side of the planet is turned toward us, and he may even at times detect the faint illuminations some times seen on this darkened hemisphere. and which are probably caused by auro- ras in the night skies of our sister world. He will also see that the line of division between the dark and the sunlit part of the planet is by no means a sharp line. but that it fades gradually in some places and Is irregular in others.

Turkev's Need of Germany

H. G. Dwight in Yale Review
 At the outset of the war Turkey made no secret of her ambition to break into the Caucasus. She would probably take back Kars and Batum. She might de- mand Poti. even Tifis and Bakp-with the formidable wall of the main Cauca- sian range between her and her old en- emy of the north. Then in the south she would doubtless regain her old posi- tion in Egypt. She would thus hold the keys of Ga'ipoli. Suez and the gulf, as well as thos, of the two southern land routes into Tersia and the east. which would make fer again a power to be reck- oned with. And not only would her western allies help her to put her house in better order than ever before. but she would doubtless acquire great influ- ence with her Mohammedan neighbors in Asia and Africa. Those western allies, of course, would in all this be greatly the gainers-so greatly that it would require much space even to sketch the possible changes in the balance of the world. And Turkey might find, in the end. that her war of independence had achieved only her own complete slavery. But who knows? It might be, so strangely does the event sometimes outstrip the anticipat ton, that the Germans would not gain so much as we take 1t for granted they expect; that they might be content with having broken the power Of their old rivals in the east. and would count 1t enough to reap the laurels of liberator.
 An Anglo-Russian victory, on the other band, would definitely take away from the Turks their last pretension to rank as first-class power. They might lose Constantinople. They certainly would lose their right to close the straits. They might suffer humilations more profound For Turkey is an empire only partly of Turks, and they broke their way into it by force, Moreover, their recent course

Marvellous Drift of a Dinghy

From the New York Herald.
 The drift of a small boat from the South sea to the coast of Holland, as reported in cablegrams of Thursday, is one of the most remarkable cruises of derelict on record
 The dinghy belonged to the German cruiser Nuremberg. which was sunk on December 8, 1914, in battle with the British fleet off the Falkland Islands. lying near the coast of Patagonia, and south of 50 degrees south latitude. On entering the sea the boat was drifted by steady current carrying it first to the eastward, then to the northeast, and eventually north into the great equato- rial current setting west from the Afri. can coast to the West Indies, and thence recurring in the Gulf Stream track to-

 Venus in its eastward motion will pass Saturn on the forenoon of May "A. It will again pass Saturn, this time during it's westward motion, on Juno g. The ap- proach of the two planets will be much closer at the latter conjunction than at the former one.
 Mars is moving eastward into Leo. and is still conspicuous object in the heav- ems, though its distance away is now so greas that it is not a very satisfac- tory object in the telescope.
 Jupiter Is in the morning sky, rising l hour and 10 minutes before the sun on May 1, and hours and 30 minutes be- fore sunrise on May 31. It has not yet, however sufficiently emerged from the suns rays to be in very favorable posi- ton for observation
 Saturn is near the middle of the con- stellation Gemini, sufficiently high above the ground to be very well viewed in the early evening. The rings are well opened out, and these with it's brighter moons, make it one of the most interest ing of all objects in the telescope. This is the last month of the present year, however, during which Saturn can be satisfactorily observed in the early eve- ming.

CAREY PROpOSESA B|G RECLAMATION
 SCHEME IN CHINA Able to Reclaim Hundreds of Thousands of Acres by Improvement of Grand
 Canal, He Says

Peking, April .-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-W. r. Carey of St. Paul, Minn., an American contractor, who is considering the improvement of the Grand canal in Shantung and Kiangsi provinces, has recently returned from a tour of inspection and has announced that the plan presents no great engineering difficulties.
 The plan involves the reclamation of many hundreds of thousands of acres of land which now lie in lake beds or dis tricts subject to the overflow of the Yel- low river, and other streams in the canal basin, some of which have no outlet to the sea. In flood times the waters of many of these streams pass into the canal, which was built through districts where formerly lakes afforded reservoirs for the flood waters.
 NEGLECTED OF LATE
 Of recent years the canal has been greatly neglected. In places now the wa ter Is not more than six inches deep in dry times and the banks have been badly

only short distance above point of the horizon, which is little farther toward the north than the point at which the sun was seen to set.
 In the telescope it will be seen to be a beautiful little, brightly shining world it's shape the same as that of the moon when half full. Having found it while 1t is in this most favorable position, the ob server can follow it for several days and see it rapidly changing into nar- row crescent as 1t draws nearer the sun sArays. It will finally withdraw from the evening sky on June 8.
 Venus is by far the brightest and most striking object now in the heavens. No one who turns toward the western sky in the early evening can fail to have his attention arrested by this exceedingly brilliant evening star. On May it will be seen to occupy the position H, Fig. 1, a little to the east of the honrs of the

damaged by high water. Consequently, the government is unable to derive the tolls which it should have from such an important waterway. Furthermore, much of the territory adjoining the canal has fallen into neglect, and the neighboring population suffers much from flood and famine.
 Plans have been under consideration for many years for the reclamation of the great area tributary to the portion of the Grand canal which lies between the Yellow river in Shantung province and the Yangtse river in Kiangsi province. It has been estimated that the cost of restoring the canal and dil1ng the streams in such manner that flood water could be carried to the sea, or al- lowed to pass off through the canal, would be 900 gold. The expense of this improvement would, in the opinion of experts, be more than met by the value of the government land actually re- claimed. Furthermore, the increased value of the private lands subject to flood would be very great and an improve ment tax could be justly levied on these. With the waterway in perfect repair the tolls would be very large throughout the year.
 The American Red Cross and other agencies have been interested in exploit ing the possibilities of this plan, and nave dSSiSlcu tue Chinese government III bringing it to the attention of foreign .financiers
 PAY FOR ITSELF
 While the sale of reclaimed land the possible improvement taxes and the in- creased tolls would pay for the improve ment within very few years, the diff fculty has been in raising the money for the initial cost of the work. c. D. Jameson, the engineer representing the American Red Cross; H. Vanderveen, con sulting engineer of the Chinese national bureau, and number of other engineers have investigated the project and reported favorably upon it.
 The Chinese government desires to have the two provinces through which the sec ton of the canal runs, take special part in the improvement, and MT Ca- rey has visited the governors of these two provinces for the purpose of get ting their views on the conservancy work.
 Should Er. Carey decide, after com plete reconnaissance, that the canal res torat1on can be carried out profitab1y, it is likely the Chinese government will enter into negotiations for an American loan to put the scheme through.

Balfour Was Wrong

From Pearson'S Weekly.
 MT. Balfour, the first lord of the ad- miralty, paid striking tribute the other day to the Australians for the part they have taken in the war.
 MT. Balfour likes to relate to his friends an amusing incident that occurred on one occasion when he was trayeling down by train from the north of Scot land
 1t was very fine, cold day, and when the train stopped at station not far from Aberdeen he got out of the car riage to warm himself by taking walk along the platform.
 As he was stamping his feet and rub a porter: 'Invigorating. isn't it?"
 '"Na, sir,'' replied the porter solidly. 'It's Inveramsay!''

 To make the immensely long drift from the Falklands to the coast of Holland the dinghy must have moved progress sively under the combined action of the sea and prevailing winds at an average rate approaching p miles a day. Such . rate maintained so long, would be nearly twice as great as the average drift of bottles in the open ocean. But perhaps 1t is conceivable for boat, which fs more powerfully driven by the winds than a bottle can be.
