ASTRONOMICAL NOTES. OBSERVATORY OF VASSAR COLLEGE. For the computations of the following notes (which are approximate only) and for most of the observations I am indebted to students. M.M. Positions of Planets for May 1874. Mercury. Mercury rises on the 1st a little after 4 A. M. and sets a little before 5 P. M. On the 31st it rises about 5 A. M and sets near 8 in the evening. In the first week of May it should be looked for before 15th and 29th. Venus. Venus rises on the 1st at 5h. 50m. A. M. and sets at 8h. 20m. P. M. On the 31st Venus rises at 6h. 7m. A. M. and sets at 9h. 21m. P. M. On the evening of the 3d Venus and Mars will have very nearly the same right ascension and will differ little in de clination Venus being a little farther south in declination. Man passes the meridian one minute later than Venus. Mara. On the 1st Mars rises at 5h. 58m. A. M. and sets at 8h. 27m. P. M. On the 31st Mars rises at 5h. 8m. A. M. and sets at 8h. 12m. P. M. Mars is very small at this time but its ruddy light will enable one to recognize it after sunset and its nearness to Venus on the 3d will be a very marked phenomenon. Jupiter. Jupiter rises on the let at 2h. 39m. P. M. and sets at 3b. Um. the next morning. On the 31st Jupiter rises at Oh. 41m P. M. and sets a little after 1 the next morning. Although we are moving away from Jupiter and it is be coming smaller it is still the great beauty of our evening skies and its satellites with their varied changes of posi gleams of small power by being between us and the planet until after 8 P.M. and the fourth will become invisible af ter 9 P. M. by the planet's passing before it or between the satellite and the earth. Saturn. 'Uranus. Neptune. Sun Spots Barometer and Thermometer. o. American Agricultural Machinery In Germ ny.
