Mars is the evening star, and holds the
place of honor during March; for he plays
an .important part in a beautiful celestial
phenomenon that occurs in the early
evening of St Patriok's Day. An occul
tation of Mars by the moon will 'then
take place under conditions favorable for
i i 1
observation, should that threatened snow
storm fail to occur. The occnltation
commences about 6:80 e e lock, an 1 the
planet will be about an hour past the
!
meridian and at an altitude above the
horizon that will insure a good view.
while the moon will be within a day of
her first quarter.

Don't otten visit your neighbors at meal
