BARTON OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA Brilliancy of the Planets Venus, Mars and Jupiter. The planet Venus, which has been an object of wonder and beauty in the stern sky for many months, reaches brilliance on August 5. s, however, is but slightly greater than it was last month, and the fact that it now sets earller and must be s¢én nearer the horizon more than offsets the advantage of the slightly increased brightness, ~It 18 now moving slowly eastward, and after August 1S moves westward, so it will soon be overtaken by the sun. It is already so near that its position 2 arked on figure 1. This le, however, as the planet that it cannot be mistaken. be seen in the west in the eve- twilight or even in the day time direction is well known. By the end of the month it is too close to the sun to be seen. Mars is moving eastward, but not 0 rapidly as the sun, and may be seen with difficulty at the first of the month, and by the end of the month it cannot be seen at all. Saturn, in the constellation Scorpius, i now in its best position. It is quite bright. The fixed stars, Vega at A and Arec- turus at B, and the planet Jupiter are the only -bodies shown which are brighter. Below it at C is the red star Antare: The moon will be near Sat- urn on the evening of August 6. Jupi- ter, which is the brightest planet after Venus, and brighter than any of the fixed stars, appears on the eastern horizon and will now supplant Venus as an object of attention. The planet Uranus is just on the limit of naked. eye vision, and is not only difficult to see but must be selected from a great number of stars of about the same brightness if it is to be identified. I suppose very few try to see the planet ‘with the naked eve. At times it may be near a brighter star which is easily identified, and if one knows this it i easier to find the planet. It happen that Uranus is now near the plan Jupiter. It will be five-sixths of a d gree directly north of it on August 9 and at about the same distance away up to that time. There are no stars as bright as Uranus in that vicinity to_contuse. Uranus probably cannot be seen with the naked eve with the brilliant Jupiter so near, but it may be seen easily with opera glasses. In this con- mection. it is well to remember that the moon is about half a degree in dlameter. Mercury may be seen in the morning twilight for a few days about August 8. The Moon’s Phases. ‘There are many who do not under- stand the cause of the phases of the moon, although they have observed them for many years, so a brief expla- nation will now be given. The moon, like the earth and other planets, has mno light of its own, but shines only because the sun shines on it and be- cause it reflects that light. Conditions are represented in figure 2. The fig- ure is not drawn to scale. The moon is about a quarter as large as the earth in diameter and is 30 times the diameter of the earth from it. The sun is 389 times as far away as the moon. The rays of the sun illumi- nate half of the earth at one time and that half .of the earth has daylight. The dust in the atmosphere reflects a little light to places a little beyond the daylight half. This section has vilight. It is represented in the fig- the shaded section. The rest of the earth has night. The half of ® moon toward the sun similarly has light and-the other half has night. is so brigh As there Is no appreciable atmosphere, there is no twilight zone on the moon. The figure shows arrows on the left to indicate the rays of light from the distant _sun. - These . illuminate the half of the earth and of the moon FIRST QUARTER LAST QUARTER CHAUFFEUR IS DOUBLE FOR W. C. BRIDGEMAN Frequenters of Humble Geneva Cafes Mistake Him for British Admira]ty Lord. Correspondence of the Associated Press. GENEVA.—Unexpected popularity tor the “ruler of ‘the King's Navee" has been developed In Geneva cafe circles by a Swiss chauffeur. W. C. Bridgeman, first lord of the British admirality, has a “double” in the person of the chauffeur who serves the British delegation at the naval limitation conterence. His work done, the chauffeur dons an old sack suit and a comfortable soft hat much like Bridgeman's fav- orite garments and hies him to some cafe in one of the humbler quarters of town. There, In stolld Swiss fashion, he sits and smokes, ordering beer after beer and sipping each slowly, as tliough engrossed in medi tation over weighty problems. The word quickly dpread around among the other consumers of beer, kirsch and coffee at roundabout tables. In whispers they confide to one an- oth “It's Mr. Bridgeman. 1 recognized him from the photographs in the newspapers. Who ever would think he was a great lord? So simple, so democratic in his tastes.” Meanwhile the old chauffeur pulls at his pipe, oblivious to the suppressed excitement he is causing. The_real Bridgeman hasn't set foot in a Geneva cafe or bar since he came here. o— GIRL DETERMINES TO FLY AFTER NARROW ESCAPE By the Associated Press., MINNEAUOLIS, July 28.—Thé ter- ritying experience of hanging helpless ‘from an airplane wing and surviving the adventure by an almost miracu+ lous landing in the soft earth of a plowed fleld has strengthened the re- solve of a Minneapolis girl teleg- rapher to become an aviatrix.

From last quarter to first quarter the moon is “crescent,” and from first quarter to last quarter, when more than half of the disk is visible, it is ‘“gibbous.” The moon can be seen at some time of the night every night, with the exception of about five days at new moon. As seen from the moon, the earth would go through similar phases. ‘When the moon is new the earth, to an observer on the moon, would be fuil as is evident from the figure, The full earthgives out about 40 times as much light as the full moon.

The chandeliers in both the living room and the conservatory were deco- rated with orange leaves. Orange colored ribboh ran in profusion from the fixtures to the corners of the ex- [ room.
