July 1st. fog object In the heavens, has been running rapidly westward until now It Is almost in a direct line between us and the sun. It passes to the east of the sun and becomes a morning star on July Sth. During the past few weeks its change in form as its silvery crescent grew rapidly narrow . er and anally disappeared altogether . was a most beautlfu; and interesting sight in a smal) telescope. The ob- server who can study the sky during the early morning hours will now see ' the planet emerge from the sun's rays and run rapidly upward In the east 'It will reach it greatest brilliance en 'August 11th, when It will, be very nearly a bright as It was on May 29th. and as it mounts higher up in the morning sky its change of form may be observed expeuy as when it sank in the writ. The change will, however, occur In the inverse order. The very narrow, silvery, crescent will continually widen, Its form becoming exactly that of a half circle oh Sep tember Hth.

Our next vinlior will' be the beautiful Haturn, but this will not enter the evening sky until Sep tember, On Its return its rings will be seen to, be much more opened out than, when It disappeared lir Febru ary, so that In the telescope it will be a most Interesting object. . In the abxenre u brighter planet the possessor of a small telescope may search for the faint Uranus, which Is . in the constellation Sagittarius not far from the bright star K. Figs. 1 and t.

The problem ef the railways to-day, what thejr shall do to placate court and Legislature and how. Is one de manding the most extrordinary legal ability. The men already before tne public who have the equipment for this task are few In number. There Is one great lawyer who may prove to be the Most that shall lead the railroads out of the wilderness of hostile legislation.' a man who Is at once so eminent tod so picturesque that his name dsservea to be the Oast word in the discussion Of the subject- John O. Johnson, of Philadelphia. There are nlnety-ve Johnsons In "Who'i Who," but not this Johnson. There are no full-page stories of his la w battles In the Sunday papers. Ha has never been photographed. He has never been Interviewed. Ha ha prac ticed law for forty-five year and been a leader of the American bar tor twen ty years; and yet outside of his clients and a email group or personal friends. John Q. Johnson is comparatively un known. ' It was Johnson who argued the first of the anti-trust case before the Unit ed State Supreme Court, and won It, getting the sugar baron out of trouble. When the X-cenk-rate law was passed la Pennsylvania last year, It was John son who had it declared . unconstitu tional and thrown on the scrap heap. And not for a quarter ot a century or J more' has there been a great' lawsuit In Philadelphia In which Johnson was not on one side or the other. Other lawyers have no fault to find with Johnson, except that lie refuse to charge high fee. In this regard, he is Incurable. The biggest fee to his credit I said to have been one ot 1100,000 which he'recelved from the sugar trust. In the famous Chapman rase, ten years ago. But usually his fees are regasded as mere pittances by nis reuow-iawyers. l was told of one Instance In which Johnson had saved a New Tork street car company from losing a franchise. He sent a bill for 15.000. It promptly mailed him check for 125.000. The next day It re ceived a check from Johnson for 120. ooo. with this short explanation "No guts." FiK.

Ho pointed out. however, that the tariff as published must con tain all charges for whatever cause. and the South Carolina ' commission thinks the road may be forced to obey Its rules under this provision of . the Federal law, storage- and . demurrage charges, being published i separately and not along with the tariffs.
