And eleven other stations ot ye please It i 1S euneoted that (Ruse will 
establish a codperating station at Petropadlovsk in about Latitude 53° and Longi. 
tude 201°. 
The station at Point Barrow is part of the American quota of the Interna- 
tional chain of Polar Stations. 
The Meteorological Office of Canada, under the energetic supervision of 
Mr. Carpuxael, proposes to establish a full station on Melville Island, at Winter 
Harber, in Lat. 74° 45’; Long. 111°, provided the necessary Government assist- 
ance can be obtained. The proposed site is where Parry wintered in 1819-20, 
and is an admirable location for one of the International chain of stations. 
ASTRONOMY. 
PLANETARY PHENOMENA FOR APRIL, 1881. 
BY W. W. ALEXANDER, KANSAS CITY, MO. 
Mercury on the 7th reaches its greatest elongation west, but owing to its po- 
sition being so much south of the sun, it cannot be observed well from Kansas 
City. ‘ 
Venus on the 11th reaches the stationary point in its orbit, 2. ¢., its position 
among the fixed stars will remain unchanged for a short time. This apparent 
rest in its motion is caused by our being in the direction in which it is, moving ; 
after this it will continue rapidly to approach the sun, being so near to that orb 
after the 25th as to escape observation except with the telescope. 
Mars during this month will be among the stars in Aquarius.
