IS VENuFlNHABITSDP
A Oticstlon Astronomers nro .Much In.
tori'stml In.
It will bo reranmbored that about two
years ago , bays Youth's Companion , the
famous Italian astronomer , Schiaparelli ,
< irtti/\ilTir > fif1 til n t. \\n \ litirl * 1 i c/inint n/l tlitit-
Venus , which is a world very slightly
smaller than ours , makes only ono turn
on its axis in poinp once around the
sun. It would follow from this that on
Venus there is no succession of days and
nights as upon the earth , but that per
petual day reigns on ono Hldo of the
nlnnot and perpetual night on the other.
Venus always presents the same face to
the sun , just as tlio moon forever turns
Iho same hemisphere toward Iho earth.
The inhabitants of Iho sunward side
of Venus , then If 'there bo any never
bee the sun act , while the inhabitants of
the ether side never see the sun at nil ,
unless they visit the opposite hemis
phere of their globe.
Of course no ono knows whether there
are inhabitants upon Venus or not , but
wo do know that Venus has an atmos
phere , and that in its atmosphere
watery vapor exists and clouds iloat ,
and that upon the surface of the planet
the force of gravitation is not very dif
ferent from that which It manifests on
the surface of the earth. Accordingly
there are some reasons to bo urged In
behalf of the opinion that Venus may bo
nn inhabited world.
But if one-half of Vonns bo burled In
endless night while the ether half lies
glaring beneath a never Betting sun , it
IH evident that the inhabitants of that
plaiiot must have experiences that
would bo mo t strange and trying to us.
Sp the question whether Venus really
does rotate on its axis only once In 2irj
days , the period of its revolution around
the bijn , dnrlvos an added interest from
the consideration that the planet pos-
falblV has inhabitants.
The older observations indicated that
Venus rotated In between twenty-three
and twenty-four hours , giving It days
and night's abaut equal to these of the
earth. In order to settle the question it
has recently been proposed to apply the
bpcotrobcopo. It is known that , in the
bpcctrum of a celestial body which is
rapidly approaching the earth the spec-
troscoplo lines uro shifted toward the
blue , wlillo In the spectrum of a fast re
treating body the lines are shifted
toward the rod.
Tliis principle has been used in meas
uring the rate of the SUII'H rotation. The
lines are shifted toward the blue on the
eastern and toward the red on the
western edge of the sun , and by measur
ing the amount of shifting the rate of
rotation is found. It is easy to tee that
the same method may bo applied to llnd
out how fast Venus revolves on Its axis ,
hvoryono who watchds tno glorious
evening star growing brighter and
brighter In the sunset sky during the
coining months will cerlainly bo eaget-
to hear the latest news from the astrono
mers who are trying to find out whether
Venus has succobslvo days and nights
like the earth , or hua only a day bide
and n night aide.

THE BSAUMFUL TJNKNOWxV.
I'atlictlc Story Told by tlio Inscription on
H Tomb.
Alexandria , that quaint old Virginia
town whoso now dingy and compara-
lively deserted streets have seen so
many a ts played in the glorious history
of our country , has among its many
relics ono which is most intoresling on
account of its mystery and romance.
To this as to all other traditions there
must always attach a shadow of un
certainly as to where reality ends and
fiction begins.
Occupying a cenlral spot in Iho old
cemetery of Alexandria , says the Phil
adelphia Times , elands a weeping wil
low , between whoso drooping bows lies
a time-worn marble slab , bearing this
inscriplion :
"To Iho memory of a Female Slrancror.
whoso menial sufferings terminated on
the 14lh day of October , 1810 , aged 23
years and 8 months. Thisstono is placed
hero by her disconsolate husband , in
whoso arms she sighed out her lalest
breath , and who , under God , did his
utmost lo soolho the dull , cold oar of
death.
How loved , how honored once , avails thco
not.
To whom related , or whom bopot.
A heap of dust alone remains of thee ,
Tis all tliou art and all the proud shall bo.
"To him gave all the prophets
witness that through His name whoso
ever beliovcth in Him shall receive re
mission of .jdins.1' Acts , chapter x , 43d
verso.
It was in the early autumn of 1810 ,
when Alexandria was a porlion of the
Dislrict of Columbia , that a lady and
gentleman , whom all supposed to bo
man and wife , came lo Iho town and
engaged a suilo of rooms at tlio City
hotel. The man was cultured , refined ,
traveled , and , from all appeaarncos ,
Very wealthy. Occasionally no would
talk to Homo of the nownspeoplo , hue
tlio greater part of his days wore spoilt
with the beautiful woman who was his
companion.
She was all that was grace , nnd
elegance. Her taste in dross showed
that she was a woman of artistic
temperament. She played on several
instruinonls with a touch nnd knowl
edge that wore marvelous. Her con
versation was that of a person who had
traveled and who hud moved In llio
higher circles of boeioly. There was
nn air surrounding her which , in her
swool simplicity , drew all hearts to her
and made them love her , oven though
Btrangors lo hor. But she can be best
described in Iho words of John Trust ,
who published a llttlo book regarding
her , the facts of which were taken from
the stranger's grave :
"Stately , yet graceful , her queenly
form rose from the undulation which
acknowledged my greeting. She
Eocmod , indeed , the mould of form , tlio
union of elegance and grace baforo unj
dreamed of. Her eye , a diamond when
blio listened , flashed like a jewel when
she spoko. A Grecian nofco , perfectly
feminine in the softness of Us outline ,
relieved thu musctillno bwolling of the
upper Hp and made womanly the whole
contour of her face. Her hair lay in Its
raven brilliancy aslf ithudbecnchisolnd
upon her noble fotuhcad , On such fea
tures repose were an air of command
and emotion took statollnoRs. "
Strange lo relate , neither the gcntlo-
man nor the lady ever told their name
or from whence they came , and stranger
Hllll were never asked , notwithstanding
that the old Virginia families were as
exclusive and aristocratic thin M they
are now. To all they were known as the
"Strangers , " though the hospitality ex
tended to Ihom by Iho besl people of
Alexandria was not as lo a stranger , hut
as to the dourest of friotidB.

Five thousand people participated In the

camps formed the grand procession tuul
marched through the tn-liieltul streets to
the grounds , wtioro music , speaking , fcust-
ing unit social festivities had the attention
of the grand crowd in attendance.
Kov. A. W. Clark of Omaha delivered nn
eloquent oration , In which ho reviewed thn
history nml achievements ot fraternal
bcnollcinry societies from the ilato of their
conception in ICnglund hundreds of years
ago to the present generation. Ho caused
many c.vos to moisten when lie referred to
the kindly ministration nt tlio bedside imil
at the grave. Ho referred to the beauty nml
Itnprcsslvetioss of the ceremonies of llio
order , and pictured the lllglit ot the spirit
omblomlzed by the ascent of a whlto dove
from tlio lowly resting pltco of the fallen
trees of the forest , and sketched the
grand f itturo in store for the order.
Hun. Church Howe spokoot' the patriotism
of American citizens , their valor anil their
siicrlllecs. Biavo men bared their breasts
to the fee to defend the nation and nover-
oigns will emulate their example by tholr
devotion and loyalty to the order nn order
conceived from motives of charltv and bo-
ncvolcncc , mid intended to bring about an
era of fraternal love which will tnnlco car
nage and war a relict of the past anil nssuro
a perpetuation of peace and brotherly love.

Secret societies had their turn at the
World's fair during the closing days. Sat
urday , preceding the closing ot the exposi
tion , the Ancient Onl r of United Workmen
and Illinois Odd Fellows made it a special
occasion.
It was a gala time for the Ancient Order
of United Workmen , which was celebrating
Its twcnty-llfth anniversary. At - o'clock
moro than 8,000 members , wearing the red
bai/go with gilt letters that had been pro
vided by the committee , poured into Festi
val hall , where they filled every seat In the
narquet and on the rostrum and over ( lowed
into the galleries.
The Odd Fellows paid their respects to
the queer things on Midway plaisancc and
wound up the day with a drill on tlio plaza
in front of the Government building.
Festival hall , where the Ancient Order of
United Workmen hold its exercises , was as
cold as the insldo of avefrlcarator. The
chilly atniospherc was the cause of the exer
cises being cut stiort. The audience in its
entirety did not hear but one speech. It sat
there shivering until that wus over , then
left almost to a man. Only a few half
frozen enthusiasts remained behind , anil not
oven the burning eloquence of the orators
could arouse in them a sufficient degree of
warmth to stay it out , so that the last
speaker talked almost to empty chairs.
Grand Master Workman W C. Galloway
of Illinois presided and mailo the address of
wolcoinc.
Mr. Galloway was followed by the Lotus
quartet , which sang "Hark , the Trumpet. "
Then W. Warno Wilson of Michigan , past
supreme master workman , was introduced.
Ho spoke of the glory of the order.
After a recital on the big organ by Prof.
F. II. Epolman , J. G. Tale , grand master
workman , of Nebraska , spoko. W. W. Carnes
read a poem , and after ho had iinishcd the
Lotus quartet sang "Illinois , " Then O. F.
I3crry. past grand master workman , of Illi
nois , made the closing speech.
After the singing of the closing ode to the
tune of "Sweet By and B.v. " Mr. Galloway
dismissed what small remnant of the auul-
cnco had stayed it out.
The Illinois Odd Fellows had no formal
exercises. They entered tno west end of
Midway nt 2 o'clock and paraded through
the plaisanco. Thence they marched
straight to the government plaza and thou
sands saw them go through a very pretty
drill. About 2,000 were on the grounds ,
Commander Undcrwoo'il and a small detach
ment of Patriarchs met thorn at the grounds
with the Elgin baud and a squad of Colum
bian guards.

Sons of Tangier : You are commanded to

Mare , " tlio pet of the harem , and the favor

our oasis , or has Deen stolen by some inlidel
who know not the terrors of our wrath. Lot
not your researches bo in vain. The howls
from the harem must bo stilled. And If you
find on your journoyings any poor , unhappy
sons of the sand who havonn earnest , heart
felt , ahsoluto longing to embrace our sacred
sphinx bring them before me , and if found
worthy , f will load them by rivers of mill ;

Illustrious PotoiHato H. C , Akin has sur

proclamation , which breathes an oriental
atmosphere most delightful to the followers
of the star and crescent. As this is the
