overtake the observer, the moon being
at C and the observer at r, after IL
hours. In this case the moon has
turned faster than the observer, and
hence the moon would move eastward
across the sky-that is, rise in the
West and set in the East. This hap
pens in this way with Phobos. as seen
from Mars.
The outer satellite Deimos revolves
in 80 hours 18 minutes, which is a
little greater than the rotation period
of Mars, so that DeimoS would drift
slowly over the sky westward, SO
slowly that the observer o would turn
through Il rotation-that is, 8 u days
would elapse between the times when
Deimos was overhead or crossing the
Meridian Between its rising and setting
Deimos would go through all it's phases
twice over Although Mars has these two
moons, probably neither or both to-
gether give as much light to Mars as
our moon does to us.
These tiny satellites were discovered
at the United States Naval Observa-
tory. at Washington, D. c.. in August
1877, when the planet was closer than
at any time since up to the present
year. They were discovered by Prof.
Asaph Hall with the 2s-inch refractor.
His son of the same name has OBJ
fully, working with the same instru-
ment, and is at present giving eSpe-
cial attention to that work while the
planet is near.
Venus is visible as a very brilliant
morning star in the East before sun
rise. Uranus is not visible to the
naked eye. Its position is marked on
the map. Jupiter may be seen very
low in the southwest just after SUM-
set Saturn is too close to the sun to
be seen. The sun passes 1t October %.
There will be an occulation of the
bright star Regulus in Leo by the
moon on October 90. AS seen from
Washington, d. c., the occulation be-
gins at 5:44 pm. and ends 1906, east
ern standard time. Twilight and day
light will interfere with observations,
and in the western states the occula-
tion can be seen better.

earth rotates eastward in a day, car

the moon has moved a little eastward,

Revival Of "Stovepipe" Matter Of
Making Good Appearance
to Visitors.

By the Associated Press
DUBLIN, September 27--The Tafffe-
ann games and their accompanying
social events have been remarkable
for the revival in ireland of the tall
hat Twenty years ago a black morn
ing coat. striped trousers and a tall
hat were the almost essential uni
form of professional men. and no
doctor or lawyer omitted to wear
them. An easier style of dress grad
ually crept in, and for more than 10
years tweeds and soft hats replaced
the old dignitieS. and the tall hat
was rarely seen except at funerals.
The more formal clothes have now
returned. AT social functions all the
Free State officials and ministers
wear them. AS the Independent puts
it, this is expressing homage to this
very young state in terms of clothes.
In vulgar, modern. Democratic age
clothes matter tremendously. and
there is no getting away from it.
Outsiders judge us by appearance,
not by what we are, and patriotism
calls for the best show possible AT
all such public or semi-public events"

NEW YORK, May 22.--Tcx Rick
ard has not given up the chase he
has made for Luis Angel Firpo.
Negotiations have been resumed
with the South American champion
and Rickard is now waiting for an
answer to his latest proposition:
ickaYd admitted today he had
been in communication again with
John Hons, his South American
agent and that he had gone after
Firpo again after receiving a tip
from HONS that Firpo was receptive.
- sent HONS a cable yesterday
and | think that | III have something
interesting to announce in a few
days. | don't care to say anything
until have something definite to
90 on,' he said.
After announcing that he had giy-
en- up Firpo as bad actor, had call
ed Hons home and had arranged for
Harry Wills to meet Dempsey in
September, the sreopening of nego-
tiations with Firpo caused speeula-
tion today,
RIlnors Are Rife
Richards actions were taken by
some as confirmation of the report
that the Dempsey-Wills fight never
will be staged and that Rickard
used the Wills threat merely to
club Firpo into line and to show
him that he WASH t. the only one
big enough to draw a house with
the champion. Rickard may have
used the Dempsey-Wills announce
ment merely as a feeler to get the
feeling Of the public on the mixed
match. +.
Others believe, however, that Rick
ard e going after Firpo again is
merely taking precautions not to
be left in the hole if anything should
lalrper to the Dempsey Wills fight.
1t is recalled also that Rickard has
a contract calling. for three fights
from Wills and if lie got Firpo he
could match Wills and Firpo, send
the winner against Dempsey and
get two big fights out of them in
