f portant event in the career of the
sun. On the 'JUtli or 21st day of the
month every year the sun is said to
enter the vernal equinox, or "cross
the line." In b'.M this happens on
the 20th. A few days before Christ
vmaB, or around the '21st of Decern
Ynrj the sun rose, culminated and
'set In its farthest point to the south
and since then it has been moving
toward the north. About two anil
a half months ago it rose in the
southeast and set in the southwest,
but the places of its appearance
and disappearance at the present
time are much nearer the true east
erly and westerely points respec
tively. The northward swing eon--linuing
the raising and setting
will be at their most northerly
points on June 21, when Old Sol's
advent and extent will be about as
far north of the real east and west
as, around Christmas, they were
south of those points. Then the
swing in the opposite direction
will begin and be completed on
December 21, to be repeated on be
fore, each oscillation taking up
about six months. The points in
which the sun appears on these
two dates are called the solstices,
or the sun's standing places. Mid
way between these two dates, or
about March 20 and September 22
each year, the sun passes through
the equinoxes, or half-way houses,
in its course, the earlier one being
ailed the vernal equinox and the
latter the autumnal equinox. The
term equinox is formed from two
Latin words meaning "equal night."
This backward and forward swing
ing of the Bun is due the apparent
revolution of the sun around the
I earth which occupies about a year,
lor to the real revolution of the
earth, around the sun, for it is the
earth and not the sun that does the
moving, the earth being a planet
like Mars, Jupiter, Saturn Jand the
rest of its companion bodies of the
soder system. It is more conven
ient, however, to consider that the
earth is stationary and the sun in
motion, and this motion is deferred
to in popular inscriptions of astron
omical phenomena.
On March 20, when the sun, sweep
ing along its course to the north
ward, dashes accross the equinoc
t iol, the sun's rays for the moment
will extend from pule to pole, the
days and nights all over the globe
will be approximently equal, the
spring, as astronomers mark off the
the seasons, will begin north of the
equator, and the autumn will set in
south of that line, ami the six
months' day at the south pole will
end and the same length of day at
the north pole will commence. The
day's length tr e period between
sunrise and siinsct--wasabout nine
hours ami twenty-seven minutes in
the latitude of St. Louis at the win
ter soltice on December 21. In the
same latitude it was nine hours
and thirty minutes on January 1,
ten hours and sixteen minutes on
February 1, and eleven hours and
twenty minutes on March 1. The
day's length increased one hour
and four minutes in February,
forty-six minutes in January, and
three minutes in the ten days of De
cember succeeding the solstice, a
gain of one hour and fifty-three
minutes from D"cemler 21 to
March I. In more northerly lati
tudes the gain will be greater; in
more southerly, less. The difference
' in time between now and Christ
mas will be larger in Chicago than
jit is in St. Louis, still larger in Jue
fbee, and larger yet in St. I'eters
f burg. It will be smaller in Havana
i than in Crescent city, and smaller
still at the Isthmus of I'anama.
Our old acquaintances, Jupiter
and M irs, are still with lis. but
neither seems to be neighborly.
The angular distance separating
the two orbs has increased rapidly
sincethey were in conjunction near
the end of January, before which
time the giant planet was east of
his warlike brother. Since then
they have changed places, Jupiter
now being the father westward, and
widening his distance from Mars.
Jupiter is bright enough still to be
seen before the close of the evening
twilight, but his dimmer compan
ion can not be discerned until later
Moth are west of south when they
come into view. J tipiter disappears
in the southwest these evenings
shortly after 10 o'clock. Mars re
mains with us half an hour later.
March is the last month in which
the giant planet will be seen to ad
vantage this season. Hy the be
ginning of April he will be so low
in the southwest at sunset that he
will lose the the greater part of his
interest for star gazers. On the 2"th
of April he sets with the sun and
takes up the role of the morning
star, which he will retain until near
the end of November, when he will
once more take his place in the
evening sky, where he will be divide
the honors with Venus, whitth will
then be Jnear the end of her ap
proaching engagement as evening
star. Mars stays with us until Sep
tember, but he lias lost the glories
which made him a conspicuous ob
ject to both the professional and
the causal sk ga.er last August
and September.
An important event in March's
astronomical annals is the advent
of Saturn as evening star. The
planet will attain this distinction
two days before the month ends.
It is now in fair view in the east
about "o'clock, and it will appear
earlier on each succeding evening.
On 'arch 2!it will raise just as the
sun sets, although it will not be
high enough to be in full view on
that day until half an houror more
later, depending on the obstruc
tions to the prospect toward the
east. Saturn will partly compensate
us for the loss of Jupiter, which
will be felt about that time. The
ringed planet will remain with us
until October, when it will disap
pear from the evening sky to be
come a morning star just as Jupiter
whom he succeeds now, is prepar
ing to make his advent again as an
evening luminary. Saturn now,
after lie comes in view, is visible un
til surise and is the only conspicu
ous planet except Venus, which ap
pears just before sunrise, that will
be in the field of vision after 11
o'clock at night.
Mercury ranks as an evening
star at the present time, and will
continue in the role until the end
of March, being in the southwest
at sunset, but he will not be far
enough away from the sun to the
east until the 8th or 10th of March
to be readily traced out by the un
aided vision. Uranus raises in the
southeast about an hour later than
Saturn, but like Mercury, he is or
dinary a somewhat difficult object
to find by the naked eye. Techni
cally Uranus is a morning star,
and will remain in that category
until, several weeks hence, it raises
at sunset. Venus is drawing near
er and nearer to the sun prepara
tory to her passage to the east
side of that luminary, when she
will become an evening star. This
event occurs early in May. She is
a beautiful object as she raises
south of east.these mornings a little
more than an hour before the sun's
appearance. As an evening star
she will make her debut the 2d day
of May, when she in the west and
Saturn in the east will be the lead
ing attractions of the evening sky.
Her appearance, in combination
with Saturn, will repeat the tplcn
did spectacle of the autumn mouths
of 1S(I2, when Mars in the south and
Jupiter in the east divided the
honors of the tiruiLiicnt in tin-
early part of the night.
February had no full moon, but
March comes near having two of
them, but fciuisscs this honor by
a few hours, the second of them
striking the opening day of April
early in the morning. There will
be some interesting meetings be
tween the moon and planets during
Maich. .Several times those orbs
approach and pass each other on
the celestial highway. On the 'Jmli
of March, when the moon is about
half way between her new and tiit
quarter stage, she will pass close to
Jupiter, both beingin the southwest
at the time, the moon being a little
over a degree north of the planet
when they are at their nearest. A
day afterward, or on the 21st, Luna
pays her devoirs to Mars, approach
ing within a degree and a half of
hi.Monthe north. On the last day
of March the moon greets Saturn
again. This will be the.closest ap
proach of the month, the two bodies
being just about a degree apart, the
moon, as in the earlier conjunction,
being south of the nlanet.
On the clear nights in this part of
theyear tin. lirmanent presents a
picture of rare attractiveness.
About 0 o'clock in the evenings of
the opening days of March the
brilliant first magnitude star Cap
ella, of the constellation of Auriga,
rhariotecr, is in the west, and Aide
baran, of the bull in the southwest
Fast and south of Capella are Cas
tor and I'olox, of the twins. In the
south are Hetelguse ami Kig,., ,,f
orion, Kigel being nearer the hori
zon than its companion. Also in the
south, but farther to the east than
the other two stars, is the peerless
Sirius, of the great dog. Higher
above the horizon in the same
quarter of the sky is I'rocyon, of
the Lesser Dog. Jupiter ami Mars,
the planets, are west of these four
stars, and the planet Saturn is east
of them, and m situated south of.

may not be very impressive to her

has been among the best there is

Harauoo, Wis., March 1. A most
thrilling incident occurred here
this afternoon. A circus, which is
wintering here, was putting a lot of
pythons and boaconstrictors into
iK-w quarters. In some way a little
Norwegian boy stepped into the
cage of a boaconstrictor thirty-two
feet long. The snake sprang from
the cage with distended jaws and
gobbled the youngster The atten
dants were hoirified to descry a
fast disappearing pair of legs stick
ing out through the monster's
jaws. The great serpent's eyes were
allanie with excitement, anil in
another second or two the poor
little Norwegian boy would have
disappeared from view lorever.
It happened that Henry Mingling,
a giant in, strength and statute,
was present. He is a man of quick
impulse, and without counting
the coat or foreseeing the danger,
he grasped the serpent around the
neck and commenced shaking it.
With one swipe of its tail it sent
Mr. K'ingliiigsiMirrying heels over
head across Die floor. Al Mingling
took in the situation at a glance'
and grasping a long chain lying on
the floor, he passed it around the
body at a point about six inches
below where he thought the child's
head would be.
Directing several attendants to
grasp either end of the chain and
pull with all their streiight, he was
gratified to notice a relaxation of
the snake's effort to swallow the
chilil. Then this chain was made
fast. The snake's tail was fastened
around post and the whole body
drawn to it greatest tension, render
ing his majesty inert and power
less. He still continued to gulp but
his game was up. Two men inserted
a wagon jack between his jaws and
by degrees they pried them open
and the boy was pulled out. His
head and body were covered with
a thick saliva of a peculiarly offen
sive odor. Tin boy will recover un

wounds are about his shoulders.
