' ` with } STARS THAT PASS Last Sunday night at ten. o cloek the planets Venus and Jupiter were in conjunction, or in other words passed one another. The average citizen was otherwise engaged in sitting close to stove, register or radiator. It was too cold for out- side observation unless one was of , an astronomical turn. These two planets will not be so `close again for twenty years, therefore some of us will not be privileged to see the phenomenon again. The astronom-V ers tell us that at the hour when these planets passed one another, Venus was 113,000,000 miles from the earth and Juiter 530,000,000 miles, so that they were over 400,- 000,000 miles apart.

Although Venus is the more bril- liant of the two planets, by reason of its nearness to the sun and to us, it has a diameter of only 'about one-twelfth that of Jupiter, which islthe largest of the planets, of dia- meter about 88,000 ' miles. Astron- omers know a great deal about the surface of the planet Jupiter, but practicall_v nothing about Venus. The reason is that Venus can never e be seen from any part of the world except in the early mo1"ning` 01' in the evening. It never draws degrees and is consequently never ling` g'la1'e.
