NOTES.-Mars will be in opposition to the Sun on the 29th, when he will rise with the setting of the Sun, and therefore from this on we must look for him in the west in the morning hours. This opposition is not the most favorable possible for observing Mars. The conditions must be that Mars must pass his perihelion at or near the time of opposition and these events occur at or near the Earth's aphelion. Such conditions last obtained in 1892, and will not recur until 1907, when the planet will be some 30,000,000 miles nearer to us than when the conditions are reversed.

APRIL.

For Pacific Coast Points corresponding to these zones of Lat. add 6m. to Moon's rising and setting, or add 2m. for each hour west of Merid. of Wash. and subtract same for eastern Longitude.

NOTES.-Mars crosses the Solsticial Colure on the 21st. In the Starry Hosts the most conspicuous object directly south in the evening is the Sickle in Leo, with the brilliant Regulus in the end of the handle. Further east a Virginis (Spica) is well up west of the meridian and low in the south Sirius, the Dog Star shines, with Procyon in Canis Minor, above and still higher up Castor and Pollux in Gemini and Capella in the northwest. In the northern circumpolar group the Great Dipper and Pointers are low down below the Pole Star and Cassiopeia's Chair directly opposite or above the Pole Star-near the Zenith: the Little Dipper to the left and Perseus to the right.
