NEPTUNE.

This slow motioned body, of which we know so little, and which not more

than one person out of 10,000 ever saw, makes a direct motion during the

month of 42′ 55″; its diameter is 2.6″; and on the 8th, at 6:59 a. m.,

its position is 2° 33′ directly north of the moon. It may be interesting

to know that it will be a morning star which “will _not_ light the

traveler on his way,” during the entire month. Its times of rising are

1:52 a. m. on the 1st; 12:57 a. m. on the 16th, and at midnight on the

30th.
