PLANETS WILL FORM
SPECTACLE FOR SKY
GAZERS THIS MONTH
MARS SAID TO BE INCREASING
ITS DISTANCE FROM
THE EARTH.
WASHINGTON, July 14. (^—Short
ly after sunset during July the five
brightest planets—Mercury, Venus,
Mars, Jupiter and Saturn—all will be
above the horizon at the same time
for the greater part of the month.
On the evening of July 10, says a
bulletin from the American Nature
Association, Mercury, Venus and
Mars will appear so near together
that they might almost be mistaken
for a triple star, altho in fact Mer
cury will be about 105,000,000 miles
from the earth, Venus 116,00b,000
miles and Mars 239,000,000 miles.
Mars is increasing its distance
from the earth and drawing in to
ward the sun so it will be increas
ingly difficult to find it in the twi
light. Mercury and Venus now are
approaching the earth. j
Mercury will reach its greatest
eastern elongation on July 2S when it
will be more than 27 degrees east
of the sun. This, the American Na
ture Association points out, is with
in one degree of its greatest possi
ble distance from the sun and great
enough to enable it to be picked up
easily in the twilight after sunset.
Anyone watching these three plan
ets this month with the aid of a
small telescope or field glasses might
imagine they were playing tag or
running a race in the northwestern
sky after sunset. All three will move
eastward during July from Cancer
into Leo, but all will be moving at
different speeds with respect to each
other and the earth. Mars, the slow
moving one of the trio, will be at
the beginning of the month farther
east and higher in the western sky
than the other two, but the other
two planets will pass it on July 10.
Saturn, which has been above the
horizon in the evening hours for
some time, lias bemr moving slowly
westward, but on July 12 it becomes
stationary, as viewed from the earth,
and then begins to swing slowly
backward toward Libra to the east.
Jupiter, now rising over in the south
east in Sagittarius, will be in oppo
sition to the sun, or on the meridan
due south, at midnight on July 10.
It will then rise at sunset and be in
view all night. On this date Mer
cury, Venus and Mars will set about
an hour and a half after the sun.
Speedy Planes Will Bring
Bombay Close To London
LONDON, July 14. (£>)— All steel
airplanes now under construction in
this city will make the trip from
England to India, roughly 8,000 miles
as the crow would fly, if he were
able to accomplish it, in three days
and some odd hours, according to re
cent announcement of the air minis
try under whose supervision the ma
chines are being built.
The specifications provide that the
planes be equipped with three mo
tors developing 2,000 horsepower,
and it is hoped they will be able to
accomplish 100 miles an hour and
possibly even a greater speed. A
crew of four of five will operate each
machine, which will carry 20 to 25
passengers. It is proposed that
these giants of the air travel day and
night, there being sleeping accom
modations, and hot meals by means
of an electric cooker.
IRISH CROP REPORTS
ARE ENCOURAGING
DUBLIN, July 14'. (IP)—The crops
in the Free State were this year atu
least three weeks later than usual.
At the beginning of June the con
tinued rain had caused some appre
hension for the next harvest, but
the hot weather changed everything,
and reports from all districts are re
garded as encouraging. The pros
pects of the potato crop on the poor
wet soils of the Western counties
are said to be more doubtful.
I
About 5 members of the Criswell
party disembarked from the steam
er Alaska at Cordova, on its North
bound trip, going in to Chitina and
over the Richardson Highway to
Fairbanks. They are expected to ar
rive in Seward next Saturday on
their way to ’he States.

TEN LOST TRIBES OF
ISRAEL DESCENDANTS
ARE TO ORGANIZE
WILL TAKE MEMBERS WHO BE
LIEVE BIBLE INSPIRED
WOR DOF GOD.
AURORA, 111., July 14. (£>)—Why
Anglo-Saxons who believe they are
the descendants of the Ten Lost
Tribes of Israel should organize into
a federation, is contained in a let
ter addressed to Christians by the
Rev. George McGinnis, urging them
to attend a national convention to be
held in Waunita Springs, Col., Aug
ust 15-18, for that purpose.
Rev. Mr. McGinnis said the feder
ation was planned along the organi
zation in Great Britain, where Prin
cess Alice, a cousin of King George,
is chief patron, and Lord Gisborough,
president.
“The Anglo-Saxon Federation will
have for its object the federation of
orthodox Christians of all denomina
tions who believe the Bible to be the
inspired word of God,” said Rev. Mr.
McGinnis, “to promulgate the belief
that Anglo-Saxons are the descend
ants of the Ten Lost Tribes of Is
rael; to prove that this race has
been chosen of God to rule land and
sea; to restore the sanctity of the
Christian faith, the observance of the
Sabbath and reverence for the word
of God, and to demonstrate to An
glo-Saxon people the privileges and
responsibilities attached to them by
reason of their descent from Israel.”
Rev. Br. McGinnis declared the
English federation, composed of 2,
000,000 members, was preaching this
doctrine and restoring faith.
Services at the Methodist church
and the Catholic church were attend
ed by a number of tourists.
