Let Us suppose that you took up
your abode in the center OF the
dark. or night. hemisphere. There
you would never see the sun, but
you would always see the stars. and
in the course OF one OF Nenus's
years, which Is go Of our days
long. the entire circuit Of the starry
heavens would slowly pass before
your eyes like d panorama. You
would not. however, as on the earth.
see the stars rising in the east,
crossing the meridian and setting in
the west, all in a period OF about
twelve hours.
on the contrary. their apparent
motion would be so deliberate as
not 10 be noticed in a few hours OBJ
servation. Seen from the earth the
stars move westward 10 degrees in
an hour but seen from Venus they
would move only one degree in 10
hours. because the earth turns on
its axis 225 times as fast as Venus.
Thus the heavens would seem almost
virtually 70 stand still above your
head.
But that perpetual night of Venus
would be always clear. for in the
cold. pellucid atmosphere. at so
great a distance from the borders Of
the sun-illuminated hemisphere.
probably no clouds would appear.
Nearly all the atmosphere moisture
would be condensed and turned into
frosty blanket covering the
ground Possibly there might be
occasional showers Of fine. needle
sharp snow crystals glittering faint
ly in the starlight as they descend
ed through the endless night.
The starlight would prevent the
prevalence Of absolute darkness
when you were out under the sky.
The amount OF light from the stars
would be the same as that which
they give in a clear night upon the
earth, say one -siXtieth Of the light
Of the full moon. But at times the
light from the stars would he eff
fectively supplemented by the sun
light reflected from the earth.
When Venus is between the earth
and the sun. the earth appears di-
rectly overhead from the center Of
the dark hemisphere of Venus, and
with it's whole sunward face illu-
minated. like a little full moon.
The distance between the two plan
cts is then only about 100000
miles. and the earth would fairly
dazzle your eyes by its brilliance.
II would be more than three times
as bright as Venus herself appears
to us when she is at her brightest.
and anybody who has seen her
glowing like an electric lamp hung
up in the sky at such times, will
understand what an astonishing oh
ject star three or four times
brighter yet would be.
There can hardly be a doubt that,
if the dark hemisphere OF Venus is
inhabited, and if it's inhabitants re-
semble ourselves in their mental
peculiarities. the earth must he for
them an object OF superstitious re-
gard, and perhaps of worship. The
earth is the brightest object they
ever see in the sky. IT is their
substitute for both sun and moon.

until the morning hours and some of us cannot even stop for Sunday. as last Sunday after the great parade. at Capitol park, one elderly lady was calmly knitting away. I also heard that a preacher in another town-I forget where just now-told the wom- en of his congregation to bring thelr knitting with them to church. Now. Becky, don't you think that would be better than doing it on the sly at home on Sunday Gas 1 hear some reai- ly are doing)?
 These are not only knitting days but days of cutting and tearing, wind ing and working for that great body of women belonging to the Red Cross And I hear that these long hours of steady work in many Red Cross club rooms throughout the country have been relieved by reading aloud. One of the favorite books for these readings seems to be Grace Richmonds little book. "The Whistling Mother" It's story of a brave mother-an Ameri-
 
 war with a smile on her face and whistling a tune of good cheer, love and maternal pride.
