[Copyright, 1914, by The Chicago Daily News Company.]
PREFACE.
In this issue of The Almanac and Year-Book, in addition
to the regular statistical and other annual features, much ma-
terial relating to the European war is presented. The conflict,
in respect to the number of persons affected and cost in men
and money, already ranks as the greatest in history, and many
questions, especially as to its origin and early progress, will
come up in the future. It is with a view to answering such
questions that most of the war data given in this volume have
been compiled. Attention may be called to the fact that the
diplomatic and other correspondence, issued in the form >ef
official "papers" or "books" by Great Britain, Germany, Rus-
sia and Belgium immediately following the outbreak of hos-
tilities, is published in full. The "Yellow Book" issued by
France appeared too late to be added to the others, but the of-
ficial summary of the conclusions reached is given. Informa-
tion relating to the armed strength of the belligerents, loss of
life and property, the use of airships, submarines, automobiles
and wireless telegraphy by the armies, naval operations, effect
of the crisis on the markets of the world, action taken by the
American congress and President Wilson, strategy of the com-
batants, gigantic war loans and numerous other features of
the struggle will also be found in shape for ready reference. A
chronology carried up to the latest possible date and a pro-
nouncing gazetteer of places most frequently mentioned in the
dispatches from the various war zones have been added.
The story of the trouble between the United States and
Mexico, involving the capture and temporary occupation of
Vera Cruz, is told at some length.
Important laws passed by congress at its long and event-
ful session are given in full or in summarized form. The new
internal revenue, act, with its list of special and stamp taxes to
meet the deficiency in the national receipts caused by the war
in Europe, will also be found.

The Gregorian year 1915 corresponds to the
following eras:
The latter part of the 139th and the beginning
of the 140th year of the independence of the
United States.
The year 1333-34 of the Mohammedan era; the
year 1334 begins Xov. 9.
The year 4612 (nearly) of the Chinese era, be-
ginning now Jan. 1.
The year 8024 of the Greek church, beginning
Jan. 14.
The year 5675-76 of the Jewish era; the year
5676 begins at sunset Sept. 8.
The year 7423-24 of the Byzantine era, begin-
ning Sept. 1.

CHRONOLOGICAL CYCLES.
Dominical or Sunday letter C
Epact or moon's age, Jan. 1 14
Lunar cycle or golden number 16
Solar cycle 20
Roman imlietion 13
Diouysian period < 244
EXPLANATORY NOTE The Dominical letter or
letters (two for leap year), or Sunday letters,
indicate the day of the year on which the first
Sunday occurs, the first seven letters of the al-
phabet being used. Thus, for 1914, the Domini-
cal letter is D, the fourth letter of the alphabet,
and hence the fourth day of the year will be the
first Sunday of the year. In leap years two let-
ters are used, the first being for January and
February, and the latter, being the preceding
letter, answers for the last ten months, in order
to maintain the cycle. The rule for obtaining
the Dominical letter for any year is somewhat
complicated and for that reason is omitted here.
The Golden Number is that number of a oyclo
of nineteen years which shows how many years
have elapsed since the new moon fell on Jan. 1,
for in nearly nineteen years the solar and lunar
years nearly come together. The chief use of
this cycle is in fixing the date of Easter, and in
this same connection Is used the Epact, The
elapsed since the days of the week fell on the
same days of the year, or when there will,
therefore, be a recurrence of the Dominical or
Sunday letter. This would be the case every
seven years but for leap year, hence four times
seven is the cycle, or twenty-eight years. It is
the remainder found by adding nine to the year
and dividing the sum by twenty-eight. The Ro-
man Indiction is a cycle of fifteen years and is
of no utility except to chronologers. It is the
remainder found by adding three to the year and
dividing by fifteen. The
g thre
Julian
period is a cycle
of 7,980 years and is the product of the three
cycles, Golden Number (19), Solar Cycle (28) and
Roman Indiction (15), and hence shows the time
when these cycles will coincide, or begin at the
same time. The first of this cycle will be com-
pleted in the year 2267; It is the year + 4713.
The Dionysian period Is a cycle of 532 years and
is called the great Paschal cycle, bei^g the
product of a completed solar and lunar cycle
(28X19). It is the remainder found by adding
457 to the year and dividing by 532, and with the
Julian period Is chiefly used by chronologers.
The Jewish Lunar cycle is always throe less than
the Golden Number and is used by the Jews In
(13)
fixing the time of their festivals.

NOTE To ascertain any day of the week first
look In the table for the year required and under
the months are figures which refer to the corre-
sponding figures at the head of the columns of
days below. For example: To know ou what
day of the week July 4 was in the year 1895, In the
table of years look for 1895. and in a parallel
line, under July, Is figure 1, which directs to
column 1, in which it will be seen that July 4
falls on Thursday.
*17c2 same as 1772 from Jan. 1 to Sept. 2.
From Sept. 14 to Dec. 31 same ns 1780 (Sept.
3-13 were omitted). This Calendar is from Whit-

ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
CHART OF THE HEAVENS.
Scale of Magnitudes.
in*
EXPLANATION The chart of the heavens shows
all the bright stars and groups visible In the
United States, Canada, Cuba and Hawaii. Stars
of the third magnitude arc sometimes shown In
order to complete a figure.
If a bright," uncharted body be seen near the
"ecliptic circle" it must be a planet. To lo-
cate the planets or moon, refer to the monthly
cali'iidar pages in this almanac, find the proper
signs on the chart in the "ecliptic circle" and
an Inspection of that part of the heavens, com-
paring with the chart, will serve to identify
the planet and all surrounding objects.
Because of the earth's motion from west to
east (opposite to the direction of the arrow in
the chart), the stars rise 4 m. earlier each day
or 30 m. per week or 2 hrs. a month. The
chart shows the position at 9 p. m. Then if thi-
position for any ot&er hour be desired, as for
7 p. in., count ahead one mouth, or back ono
month for 11 p. m., and so on tor any hour of
tue night, holding the montn desired in front
as the face looks eltner to the north or south
with name down.
A circle descrloed from the zenith on the
zenith circle" for tne desired latitude with a
radius of 90 degrees (see graduated meridian)
will show wnat stars are above the horizon.
Thus Capella is near the overhead (zenith) point
on latitude 4u degrees nortn Jan. 15. 9 p. m..
as will be "big dipper" at 3 a. m. Then from
Capella or Algenib all the surrounding visible
groups can be identified. The "pointers," being
5 degrees apart and always in sight, may be used
as a convenient unit or measure: also when
visible, the "belt of Orion." 3 degrees, or the
sides of the "square or i j egasus."

STORY OF OUR WORLD FAMILY FOR 1915.
THE SUN Mighty as the sun seems to us
and it is more than 1,000,000 times the size of
our earth an astronomer, aided by the most
powerful telescope known and stationed on the
nearest of the ttxed stars, would be unable to
see it. If, however, it were possible to see the
sun, it would appear as a dim -star with a
varying degree of brightness, due to the partial
interception of Us light by the giant planet
Jupiter. The influence over our meteoric condi-
tions of the sun during a maximum of sun spots
was abundantly illustrates in 1914 and will con-
tinue Into 1915.
The planets are bodies which revolve about the
sun and borrow most of tbeir light from it.
while the stars are similar to our sun. each
shining by its own light and probably surrounded
Dy a family of planets and comets. Neverthe-
less, at certain periods the planets are desig-
nated as evening and morning stars. An in-
ferior planet (one whose orbit Is within that of
the earth) can never shine all night, as do the
superior planets when opposite the sun. A su-
perior planet is called an evening star, in this
almanac, when it rises before midnight.
THE FAMILY OF THE SUN.
1. Mercurv.
2. Venus.
3. Earth, with one moon.
4. Mars, with two moons.
5. Asteroids, about 700.
6. Jupiter, with seven moons.
7. Saturn, witn nine moons.
8. TIranus, witn lour moons.
9. Neptune, witn one moon.
10. f'/omets, about 500.
MERCURY Will be brightest and easily seen
as an evening star Feb. 1 to 7 and Sept. 27-Oct.
5, setting in about the same place as the sun
and near the close of evening twilight: also
March 16 to 23 and Nov. 3 to 10 as a morning
star, rising about the time of the beginning of
the morning twilight. He will be practically in-
visible at all otner times. INO one need err as
to the identity or tnis planet, for at the above
named periods he will be the brightest body in
tne vicinity. He can only be seen by seeking
ror him at the right time and place, unless the
sun's light be hid in eclipse.
VENUS Will be brightest as a morning star
Jan. 1 to 10, when just west of the noted red
star Antares, in Scorpio. When viewed at this
time with a small telescope or good opera
glass she will appear as shown in figure "0"
ot the annexed cut with the concave side of her
crescent away from the sun. All her phases and
variations in apparent size are shown in this cut.

As seen in the morning
west of sun.
Explanation:
As seon in the evening
east of sun.
A Fifteen days before superior conjunction
with the sun. Aug. 27, 1915.
K At greatest elongation west of the sun,
about Feb. 6, 1915.
f* When brightest as a morning star. Jan. 2.
1915.
D Just after inferior conjunction with the sun;
not in 1915.
E Fifteen days after superior conjunction with
tne sun, Sept. 27, 1915.
F At greatest elongation east of the sun,
about April 20. 1916.
G When brigntest as an evening star: not in
1915.
H Just before inferior conjunction with the
sun; not in 1915.
As will be seen by the chart "Visibility of the
planets" she will continue to recede from the
sun until Feb. 6, wuen sue will be at her great-
est angular distance west of the sun, 46" 54'.
The reason she does not increase in brilliancy up
to that time is that she is running away from
us too rapidly. From Feb. 6 she will gradually
approach the sun until she becomes invisible in
September, being at superior conjunction Sept.
12, and when last to be seen appearing as at A.
Then when she is first visible on the other (east)
side of the sun as an evening star, she will ap-
pear as at K. From then on to the end of the
year she will grow brignter as sne approaches
tne earth ana recedes rrom the sun, being very
orlght at tne ena or tne year.
The conjunctions or near approaches of Venus
10 the moon during tne time sne is rainy
bright will be as follows: Jan. 12, 9 north;
Feb. 10, 7 north; March 12, 3 north: April 10.
2 south; May 11 and June 10, 6 south; July 10.
4 south; Nov. 8, 4 north, and Dec. 8, 1 north.
She will be close to other planets as follows:
Uranus, March 19, 1 10' north; Jupiter. April 15,
9' north; Mars, May 14, 56' south, and Saturn,
July 17, 38' north. Her very close approach to
Jupiter on April 15 will make a pretty sight.
While their neatest approach takes plnce before
they are above the horizon in the United States,
they will be so close at rising and for some
time after they wi'.l appear almost as one very
bright body. The apparent diameter of the moon
is about 30' hence their distance apart (about
9') will be about one-third the apparent diameter
or the moon.
Venus' itinerary, for the time she is conspicu-
ously visible, will be as follows: Jan. 1 in Scor-
pio -close to Beta Scorpio, and nearly midway
between the Square of Libra and the red star
Antares. From Feb. 10 to 20 sne will be sailing
along westward just north of the Milkmaid's
Dipper in Sagittarius. About March 5 to 10.
close to the bngnt stars in the head of the
Goat (Oapricornus) and by April 5 just south of
the Y in Aquarius; April 10-11, about midway
between the brignt stars in tne southern Fishes.
Fomalhaut and Markhab, which marks the south-
west corner of tne ureat Square of 1'egasus:
about April 24-26. In line with the east side of
tne Square of 1'egasus and about 10 south of
Algenib; about May 20-25, 10 south of the
brightest stars in Aries, Hamel and Sheratan,
in the bead of tne Kam; June 8-14, close to and
just about south of the Pleiades or seven stars,
also known as tne Seven Sisters, and from June
M to 25 just north of the Hyades and Aldebaran
in the head of Taurus, the Bull; July 1, just
below Elnath, the southernmost star of the beau-
tiful five-sided figure in Auriga in the Milky
Way: about July 5, midway between Cape'la 20
to the north and Betelgeuse, in Orion, to the
south. She will oe too near the sun for good
seeing until In November and December: Nov.
9-10 she will be back to tne place where she was
at the beginning of tne year, midway between
Antares and the Square of Libra, and in the
middle of November close to Antares; Dec. 5-10
she wl!l pass along the length of the Milk-
maid's Dipper, enaing tne year in Capricornus.
MARS Will be too near the sun In January to
DP easily seen. He wi:i be west of the sun and
tnerefore a morning stir until Nov. 9. .when he
will begin his career as evening star, being at
that time 90 west of the sun, passing the
meridian at 6 a. m. and therefore rising near
midnight, and continuing as evening stnr the re-
mainder of the year. Look for a morning star
in the east and an evening star In the west.
ur rule for fixing the morning and evening star
periods of the sunerior planets na<s been criti-
cised, but we believe the most consistent rule is
to call them evening stars when thev rise in
rno evening nonrs ana morning stars when they
rise in the morning.
Mirs will not attain, in this year, his greatest
degree of brilliancy possible or usual in a year.
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
but may be best seen In December. On May
12-16 he will be only about 1 north of the beau-
tiful Venus. The two, with Hamel and Sheratan
on the north, form a beautiful trapezoidal figure.
His conjunctions or near approaches to the moon
will be as follows: Feb. 12, 24' north; March 14,
2 south; April 12, 4 south; May 11, 5 south:
June 9, 6 south; July 8, 5 south; August 6. 4"
south; Sept. 4, 3 south: Oct. 2, 24' south; Oct.
31, 1 north; Nov. 28, 4 north, and Dec. 26, 6
north. The conjunction of Oct. 2 will be an oc-
cultatlon between latitudes 11 north and 90 north
wherever the bodies are above the horizon near
the time of conjunction about 8:30 in the eve-
ning, or about three hours before they will rise
in the United States. Mars will be in an ex-
ceedingly interesting quarter of the heavens at
this time (Oct. 2) and thereabouts, viz., in
Gtmini, just south of the beautiful stars. Castor
and Pollux, and the cluster Praesepe about mid-
way between him and the Sickle, the Lion, with
Regulus at the end of the handle; Procvon will
be 10 south, and the glorious Sirius still farther
south and west. From Oct. 15-20 he will be
passing through the cluster Praesepe. and in
December through the Sickle, being in conjunc-
tion with the magnificent Regulus Dec. 12 and
only about 3 north or that star.
JUPITER Will be a dim evening star at the
beginning of the year, soon becoming invisible
as he approaches the sun, which he reaches Feb.
24, after which he will reappear on the other
(west) side of the sun as a mftrning star, and
will so remain until about June 19, when he will
begin to rise before midnight, and will so con-
tinue until the end of the year. He may be
called an all night star also in September, when
brightest, when he will rise about sunset and
shine all night. He will be very close to Mars
March 23 in the early morning hours, being the
most northern, but the two appearing almost as
one body, making a very pretty sight. Again in
the morning of April IB he will have Venus for
a close companion.
His near approaches to the moon will be as
follows: April 11, 3 south: May 9, 4 south:
June 5, 4 south: July 3, Aug. 26, Sept. 22. Oct.
20, Nov. 1 and Dec. 13 the moon will pass about
5" to the north of Jupiter. When brightest in
September he will be just south of the great
Square of Pegasus, forming a neat triangular
ngure with MarKaii and Algenlb to the north
or him. (See chart or the heavens.)
SATURN Will be nearly at his brightest and
may be best seen In January and December,
when he will rise near sunset and be an all
night star, nearly, being also an evening star
until June 28 or until he becomes lost in the
light of the sun weeks before that time. When
next visible, the latter part of July or in Au-
gust, be will be a morning star and will remain
such until early In October, when he will begin
nis course as an evening star, remaining such to
tne end of the year. A beautiful sight will
greet early risers in September, as Saturn and
Mars travel along in close company, being only
auout double the amount or tne moon's apparent
ammeter apart; Mars, the red one and farthest
north. Saturn's near approacnes to the moon
will be as follows: Jan. 27, Feb. 23. March 23.
April 19 ana May it, in an or wmcn the moon
will pass about 5 north of Saturn: also Aug. 7.
Sept. 4. Oct. 1 and 29, Nov. 25 and Dec. 22, in
all of which the moon will pass about 3 to the
north of Saturn.
Saturn is tne possessor or a magnificent and
unique set of rings, wnicn may oe better seen
this year than will again be the case in four-
teen years, or until lazs-1929. At this time the
southern faces or the rings are presented to our
I view; in 1900 it was tne northern surraces and
I in 1918 it will be the same. These rings
are inclined about 28" to the earth's orbit and
once in 15 years are eagewise to us, ana are
men InvisiDle tor a consiueraole time, even to
the best telescope, being only about 50 miles
thick and one billion of miles distant. Then
when the dark or unilluminated sides are toward
us they again disappear. These various phases
are shown in the annexed cut. It is be'.ieved
that they illustrate the world-building process,
an unfinished world, and that in time they will
be resolved into other moons to Illumine that
great planet.
SATUU.N A1NL) HIS RINGS.
URANUS Will be brightest Aug. 1-14 and is
invisible to the unaided eye except at about that
time, when he may be just seen by knowing
exactly where to seek nim.
NEPTUNE Will be brightest Jan. 10-26 and is
always invisible without optical aid.
COMETS Several small wanderers of this class
were discovered in 1914, but none worth men-
tioning here.
ZODIACAL LIGHT This phenomenon is a
glow or faint pyramid or light, most noticeable
in northern latituaes in tne evenings ot" Febru-
ary and March and the "mornings of October and
.November, shortly after sunset and before sun-
rise. Near the equator it has been observed as
late as midnight and extending entirely across
the heavens. A fainter "counter glow" is fre-
quently observed opposite the principal glow.
The light of the moon or even of a bright
planet renders the zodiacal light very feeble or
invisible. This is believed to be due to the re-
flection of sunlight on myriads of particles re-
volving about the sun as a thin ring something
like Saturn's rings, and extending to the orbit
of the earth or to that of Mars.
EXPORT TRADE IN FOUNTAIN PENS.
[From department of commerce report.]
In the year ended June 30, 1913, the United
States exported to about fifty foreign countries
309,200 fountain pens having an average whole-
sale value of $1.05 each. In the same year 49.-
500,000 ordinary metallic pens were exported.
Of the fountain pens exported 169,000 were con-
signed to England, 53.700 to Canada and 30.000
to France. Germany, Holland and Austria-
Ilungary were the next in importance as markets
for these pens. Considerable quantities were
also sent to Cuba and the British Wost Indies.
Panama, Brazil, Argentina, Oliile, India, Japan,
Australia and the Philippines. The same coun-
tries are in most cases the largest purchasers
of American metallic pens. Manufacturers in
this country use English and Swedish steel to
a large extent in the pen industry. Most of
the imported steel pens come from Birmingham,
England. A large proportion of the world's
supply of gold pens is made in New York city.

NOTE On the chart of the heavens the hours
or right ascension and subdivisions are marked
on the margin, and inasmuch as the planets will
always be near or on the ecliptic circle it Is a
simple matter to locate the above planets at any
time on the chart. Thus on April 11 Venus will
be in right ascension XV1II%, and that point
on the outer circle connected with Polaris in-
tersects the ecliptic circle at a point just north
of the bowl of the Milkmaid's Dipper, and there
Venus will be seen in the middle of April. By
the same means Mars will be found close to the
Pleiades early in July and close to Regulus and
the Sickle in December.

Earth The equatorial diameter of the earth is
7,926.5 miles and the polar diameter 7.899 5
miles; equatorial circumference, 25.000. The lin-
ear velocity of the rotation of the earth on its
axis at the equator is 24,840 miles a day or 1 440
reet a second; its velocity in its orbit around
the sun is approximately nineteen miles per sec-
ond, the length of the orbit being about 660.000.-
000 miles. The superficial area of the earth,
according to Kncke, the astronomer, is 197.108.580
square miles, of which two-thirds is water and
one-third land. The planetary mass is about
256,000,000 cubic miles.
FACTS ABOUT THE SUN AND PLANETS.
The sun's surface is 12,000 and its volume
1,300,000 times that of the earth, but the mass is
only 332,000 times as great and its density about
one-quarter that of the earth. The force of
gravity at the surface of the sun is twenty-seven
times greater than that at the surface of the
earth. The sun rotates on its axis once in 25.3
days at the equator, but the time is longer in
tne higher latitudes, trom which fact it is pre-
sumed that the sun is not solid, at least as to
its surface.
THE EARTH AND THE MOON.
Moon The moon has a diameter of 2.162 miles,
a circumference of about 6,800 miles and a sur-
face area of 14,685,000 square miles. Her mean
distance from the earth is 238.840 miles. The
volume of the moon is about l-49th that of the
earth and the density about 3% that of water.
The time from new moon to new moon is 29
days 12 hours 44.05 minutes. The moon has no
atmosphere and no water and is a dead world.
Light travels at the rate of 186.300 miles per
second. It requires 8 minutes and 8 seconds for
light to come from the sun to the earth.

are indicated by fractional or negative quanti-
ties: thus Vega 0.2 and Sirius 1.4. As the
magnitudes increase the brilliancy decreases,
each increase of a unit being equal to a decrease

To ascertain when any star or constellation
will be on the upper meridian add the number
opposite in the column "For Meridian Passage"

to use its zenith distance as a means of locat-
ing it. The difference between the latitude and
dec. is this zenith distance. If the dec. is
greater than the latitude then such distance is
to be -counted northward, otherwise southward
from the zenith.

SIGNS AND CONSTELLATIONS OF THE ZODIAC.
Until recently it was taken for granted that
the present relationship between signs and con-
stellations of the zodiac was generally under-
stood, as all astronomical textbooks mention
tneir disagreement and explain the cause. The
numerous letters of inquiry concerning differ-
ences between the data in this almanac and cer-
tain others show the necessity for this note of
explanation.
Thousands of years ago when the zocliac, that
belt of the heavens about 16 in width within
which move the moon and planets, was formed
and divided into twelve parts or seasons called
signs, each containing certain star groups called
constellations, each was given the name of an
object or animal which never did bear any rela-
tionship to the configuration of the stnrs in th:it
group or division, but which did or is supposed
to have referent to certain astronomical or
other fncts. Thus Libra = . the scales or bal-
ance, comes at the autumnal equinox when there
is an equilibrium or balance between the lencth
of day and nisrht the world over. Aouirius.
-. the water-bearer, whose sign is the Egyptian
sign for running water, comes at the season
of greatest rains In Egypt, and so on,
Since the time when these divisions were made
and named, owing to the precession of the equi-
noxes, resulting from the differing polar and
equatorial diameters of the earth, the signs have
moved back west nearly a whole division or con-
stellation and where T was the first, X now is.
Hence, though the sun now enters the sign T
Mnreh 20. it is a month later when he enters the
constellation T . It must be apparent, therefore,
that any supposed influence or relationship which
early astrologers attributed to the position of
the sun, moon or planets when in certain of
these divisions can no longer exist, as the sign
now only represents that space or division of the
zodiac where the controlling constellation was
2.000 or more years ago, hut Is not now. Never-
theless some almanacs still give the signs for
the moon's place, which is very misleading to
those who attempt to follow hor in her course
among the stars. Hence, this almanac gives the
constellation and discards the ancient picture of
the diemboweled man as relics of the age of
superstition. The sign is retained for sun's place
in connection witu ttio seasons anrt sun's oatn
through the zodiac ea^h month because of its re-
lationship to the equinoxes and solstices.

EXAMPLES Venus will be about 3 hours or 45
west of the sun at the first of January and
therefore rise 3 hours before the sun. Saturn
wilV shine nearly equa'ly in the evening and
morning hours: Mars only for 30 minutes in the
morning.

ALL NIGHT STARS.
.
a morning star, which she will continue
until Sept. 11, or until she is lost in the
ing twilight somewhat before that time.
MERCURY ( a ) will be brightest as an eve-
ning star Feb. 1 to 7 and Sept. 27 to Oct. 5,
setting shortly after the sun, and near the same
place; also as a morning star March 16 to 23
and Nov. 3 to 10, rising about Ih. before the
sun and near tup sime point of the horizon.
He will be practically invisible at all other
times.
VENUS (9) will be brightest Jan. 1 to 10 as
morning star, which she will continue to be
morn-
. When
next visible she will be on the east side of the
sun as an evening star and so continue to the
end of the year, when she will set some two
Hours after the sun.
MARS (<7) will be too near the sun in Janu-
ary to be well soon. He will be a morning
star, being west of the sun until about Nov. 9,
when he may be considered an evening star.
and he remains so until tlie end of the year.
Ho will not attain his greatest brightness pos-
sible or usual this year, but will be best seen
toward the close of the year, and he will con-
tinue to increase in brightness until the latter
part of February, 1916, when he will be only
aoout one-tirtietn as bright as in 1907.
JUPITER (a) will be a rather dim evening
star at the beginning of the year, becoming in-
visible In February and March. Then he will
reappear on
.
other (west) side of the sun as
a morning star, and will so continue until about
the middle of June, when he will begin his
course as an evening star, remaining such to
the end of the year, though also called an all
night star during most of September, rising at
sunset Sept. 17, and brightest Sept. 12 to 22.
SATURN ( b ) will be nearly at his brightest
of the year at its beginning and close and may
oe best seen In January and December, being at
these times nearly an all night star. He will
be an evening star until June 28 or as long as
visible, for he will be Invisible for some w<>oks
before and after that date. When next visible,
the latter part of July or early in August, he-
will be a morning star and will so continue
until about uct. 1U. wnen be wru again be an
evening star and will so continue until the end
of the year.
URANUS (8) will be brightest Aug. 1 to 14.
NEPTUNE (v) will be brightest Jan. 10 to 26.
Both Uranus and Neptune are invisible to the
naked eye at all times.
NUMBER OF THE STARS.
According to the best astronomers the number
of stars that can be seen by a person of average
eyesight is only about 7,000. The number visible
through the telescope has been estimated by
J E Gore at 70,000.000 and by Profs. Newcomb
and Young at 100,000,000,

There will be two eclipses in 1915, both of the
sun, as follows:
I. Annular Feb. 14, invisible in United States;
visible in Indian ocean. Australia, etc.
II. Annular Aug. 10, invisible In U. S.; visible
in Pacific ocean, Asia, etc.
NOTE All eclipses occur In series, the first one
of which will take place at one of the poles and
the last one at the opposite pole. The whole
number in a series of lunar eclipses covers a
period of about 865 years and in the case of the
sun about 1,200 years. Two is the least number
that can occur In any one year and seven the
greatest. When two occur both must be of the
sun, as this year, and when there are seven five
must be of the sun, as will be the case in 1917
and 1!35.

Ihe full moon nearest to Sept. 21 Is popularly
known as the "harvest moon.'' This is because
the moon then rises, for several consecutive eve-
nings, at nearly the same hour, giving an un-
usual number of moonlight evenings. This is tho

disappears at the equator.
The "hunter's moon" is the first full moon
following the harvest moon.
BERLIN AND NEW YORK WIRELESS COMMUNICATION.
Wireless pross messages between Germany and
the United States were exchanged for the first
time Feb. 12. 1914. The stations used were at
Sayvllle. L. I., and Nouen, twenty-five miles
from Berlin. These are about 4,000 miles apart,
but little difficulty was experienced in reading
the messages at either end as the conditions for
transmission were declared to be perfect. On
the Invitation of the Atlantic Communication
company The Associated Press and a number of
newspapers sent greetings to the Berlin news-
papers, to the Wolff bureau, Kmperor William,
Ambassador .Tames W. Gerard and Mayor Wer-
muth of Berlin, cordial replies being " received
from all.
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOE 1915.
TIME AND STANDARDS OF TIME.
Various kinds of time are in use in this coun-
try:
1. Astronomical Time or Mean So'ar T:me This
is reckoned from noon through the twenty-four
hours of the day and is used mainly by astro-
nomical observatories and in official astronomical
publications. It is the legal time of the domin-
ion ofxCanada, though "standard" and "mean"
time are in general use there as in this country.
2. Mean Local Time This is the kind that was
in almost universal use prior to the introduction
of standard time. This time was based upon the
time when the mean sun* crosses the meridian,
and the day begins at midnight. When divided
into civil divisions years, months, weeks, days,
etc. it is sometimes called civil time.
3. Standard Time For the convenience of the
railroads and business in general a standard of
time was established by mutual agreement in
1883 and by this calculation trains are now run
and local time is regu'.ated. By this system the
United States, extending from 65 to 125 -west
longitude,- is divided into four time sections, each
of 15
hour (
commencing with the 75th meridian. The first or
eastern section includes all territory between the
Atlantic coast and an irregular line drawn from
Buffalo to Charleston. S. C., the latter city being
of longitude, exactly equivalent to one
r 30m. on each side of a meridian),
its southernmost point. The second or central
section includes all the territory between this
eastern line and another irregular line extending
from Bismarck, N. D., to the mouth of the Rio
Grande. The third or mountain section includes
aJ the territory between the last named line and
nearly the western borders of Idaho, Nevada and
Arizona. The fourth or Pacific section includes
all the territory of the United States between
the boundary of the mountain section and the
Pacific coast. Inside of each of these sections
standard time is uniform and the time of each
section differs from that next to it by exactly
one hour, as shown on the map.
*Owing to the eccentricity of the earth's orbit
and the inclination of the equator to the eclip-
tic, the apparent motion of the sun is retarded
or accelerated according to the earth's place in
its orbit. Hence, to take the actual sun as a
guide would necessitate years, days and their
subdivisions of unequal length. Therefore an im-
aginary or "mean sun" was invented. The dif-
ference between apparent and mean time is
called the "equation of time" and may amount
to a quarter of an hour in twentv-four hours. It
is the difference between the figures in "Sun at
noon mark" column in calendar and twelve hours.
The figures on a correct sun- dial give the ap-
parent time.
STANDARDS OF TIME.

It is obvious that to express the time of rising
and setting of the sun and moon in standard
time would limit the usefulness of such data to
the single point or place for which it was com-
puted, while in mean time it is practically cor-
rect for places as widely separated as the width
of the continent (see note at bottom of February
calendar), and persons having obtained the mean
time by the rising or setting of the sun or moon
may easily ascertain the correct standard time
of any event by making use of the following

ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOB 1915.
All the calculations in this Almanac and Year-
Book are based upon mean or clock time unless
otherwise stated. The sun's rising nnd setting
are for the upper limb, corrected for parallax
and refraction. In the case of the moon no cor-
rection is needed, as in the sun, for "parallax
and refraction"; with her they are of an oppo-
site nature and just balance each other. The
figures given, therefore, are for the moon's cen-
ter on a true horizon such as the ocean affords.
The calculations in each of the geographical
divisions of each calendar page will apply with
sufficient accuracy to all places In the contigu-
ous North American zones indicated by the head-
ings of the divisions.
The heavy dotted lines show the arbitrary
(standard) divisions of time in the United States.
The plus and minus marks on either side of the
meridian lines show whether It is necessary to
add to or subtract from the mean time of points
east or west of these lines to arrive at actual
standard time. Example: Chicago is 2% east of
th<; 90th meridian; therefore Chicago local time =
21/2 x 4 = 10 to be subtracted from mean time to =
standard time, and for Boston standard (eastern)
time, 16m. must be subtracted from mean time.

WHERE FRUITS AND NUTS ARE IMPORTED FROM.
In 1913 the domestic food supply of the United
States was supplemented by $32,000,000 worth of
fruits and $16,000,000 worth of nuts from for-
eign countries and, in addition, more than $4,-
000,000 worth of fruits and nuts from Hawaii
and $3,500,000 worth from Porto Rico. A com-
paratively small number of countries supply
most of the fruits and nuts, other than those
of domestic production, consumed In the United
States. Bananas are exclusively from American
countries, .chiefly the British West Indies and
Central America; the imports in 1912 were
valued at $15,000,000, or almost double the figures
of 1903. Sicily supplied most of the $6,500,000
worth of lemons imported. We now import more
than 40,000,000 pounds of dates annually, chiefly
from Asiatic Turkey. Currants come principally
from Greece, from which country we import
from 30.000.000 to 40.000.000 pounds annually.
-Most of the 20.000.000 pounds of fies imported
annually come from a strip of land near Smyrna
about ninety miles long and less than one mile
wide, this being the world's chief dried-fig dis-
trict. We also import from 1,000,000 to 2,000,-
000 cubic feet of grapes, nearly all from Spain.
Spain rivals Asiatic Turkey as a source for our
imported raisins and exceeds Greece and Italy
In shipments of olives to the United States,
though Italy still supplies most of our imported
olive oil. The domestic orange has almost en-
tirely supplanted the Imported fruit, the few
oranges still being imported coming chiefly from
.Jamaica. In Hawaii the pineapple Is becoming
an important industry, that island having sent
us In 1913 $4,000,000 worth, or forty times as
much as in 1903. Cuba is also an Important
source, while pineapples are received from Porto
Kico in rapidly increasing quantities.
The so-called English walnut Is almost exclu-
sively the product of France, from which country
we import from 15.000.000 to 25.000,000 pounds an-
nually. Our imported almonds are mostly from
Spain and Italy; our filberts from Italy and
Spain; cream nuts from Brazil: cocoanuts in the
shell from Central America and the West In-

ELECTRICAL UNITS DEFINED.
Ohm Unit of resistance; represents resistance
offered to an unvarying electric current by a
column of mercury at the temperature of ice,
14.5421 grams in mass, of a cross-sectional area
of 1.00003 square millimeters and of the length
of 106.3 centimeters.
Ampere Unit of current; decomposes .0009324 of
a gram of water in one second or deposits sil-
ver at the rate of .001118 of a gram per second,
when passed through a solution of nitrate of
silver in water.
Volt Unit of electro motive force; one volt
equals one ampere of current passing through
a substance having one ohm of resistance.
Coulomb Unit of quantity; amount of electricity
transferred by a current of one ampere in one
second.
Farad Unit of capacity; capacity of a con-
denser charged to a potential of one volt by
one coulomb. A microfarad is one-millionth o'f
a farad.
Joule Unit of work; equivalent to energy ex-
pended in one second by one ampere current in
one ohm resistance.
Watt Unit of power; equivalent to work done
at the rate of one joule per second. A kilo-
watt is 1,000 watts.

THE MONROE AND
The "Monroe doctrine" was enunciated by
President Monroe in his message to congress
Dec. 2, 1823. Referring to steps taken to arrange
the respective rights of Russia, Great Britain
and the United States on the northwest coast
of this continent, the president went on to say:
"In the discussions to which this interest has
given rise, and in the arrangements by which
they may terminate, the occasion has been
deemed proper for asserting, as a principle in
which the rights and interests of the United
States are involved, that the American conti-
nents, by the free and independent condition
which they have assumed and maintain, are
henceforth not to be considered as subjects for
future colonization by any European power.
* * * We owe it, therefore, to candor and to
the amicable relations existing between the
United States and those powers to declare that
we should consider any attempt on their part
to extend their system to any portion of this
hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety.
With the existing colonies or dependencies of
any European power we have not interfered
and shall not interfere. But with the govern-
ments who have declared their independence
and maintain it, and whose independence we
have, on great consideration and on just prin-
ciples, acknowledged, we could not view any
interposition for the purpose of oppressing them
or controlling in any other manner their destiny
by any European power in any other light than
as the manifestation of an unfriendly disposi-
tion toward the United States."
DBAGO DOCTRINES.
DRAGO DOCTRINE.
When in the winter of 1902-03 Germany.
Britain and Italy blockaded the ports of Ven-
ezuela in attempt to make the latter country
settle up its debts Dr. L. F. Drago. a noted
jurist of Argentina, maintained that force cannot
be used by one power to collect money owing
to its citizens by another power. Prominence
was given to the contention by the fact that
it was officially upheld by Argentina and fa-
vored by other South American republics. The
principle embodied has become generally known
as the "Drago doctrine."
LODGE RESOLUTION.
In connection with the reported attempt of
Japan to obtain land for the establishment of a
naval base in Magdalena bay, on the western
coast of Mexico, the senate of the United States
adopted the following resolution Aug. 2, 1912:
"Resolved, That when any harbor or other
place in the American continents is so situated
that the occupation thereof for naval or mili-
tary purposes might threaten the communica-
tions or the safety of the United States, the
government of the United States could not
see without grave concern the possession of
such harbor or other place by any corporation
or association which has such relation to an-
other government, not American, as to give
that govenment practical power of control for
national purposes."

ALMANAO AND YEAR-BOOK FOB 1915.
55
Aliens may become citizens of the United
States by treaties with foreign powers, by con-
quest or by special acts of congress.
In an act approved March 2, 1907, It Is .provid-
ed that any American citizen shall have ex-
patriated himself when he has been naturalized
in any foreign state in conformity with its
laws, or when he has taken an oath of allegiance
to any foreign state.
When any naturalized citizen shall have re-
sided for two years in tne foreign state from
which he came, or five years in any other for-
eign state, it shall be presumed that he has
ceased to be an American citizen, and the place
<>f his general abode shall be deemed his place
of residence during said years; provided, how-
ever, that such presumption may be overcome on
the presentation of satisfactory evidence to a
iliplomatic or consular officer of the United
States, under such rules and regulations as the
department of state may prescribe; and, pro-
vided also, that no American citizen shall be
allowed to expatriate himself when this country
is at war.
Any American woman who marries a foreigner
shall take the nationality of her husband. At
the termination of the marital relation she may
resume her American citizenship, if abroad, by
registering as an American citizen within one
year with a consul of the United States, or by
returning to reside in the United States, or, if
residing in the United States at the termination
of the marital relation, by continuing to reside
therein.
Any foreign woman who acquires American
citizenship by marriage to an American citizen
shall be assumed to retain the same after the
termination of the marital relation if she con-
tinue to reside in the United States, unless she
makes formal renunciation thereof before a court
having jurisdiction to naturalize aliens, or, if
she resides abroad, she may retain her citizen-
ship by registering as such before a United
States consul within one year after the termi-
nation of such marital relation.
A child born without the United States, of
alien parents, shall be deemed a citizen of the
United States by virtue of the naturalization of
or resumption of American citizenship of the
parent; provided that such naturalization or re-
sumption takes place during the minority of such
child; and, provided further, that the citizen-
snip of such minor child snail begin at the time
such minor child begins to reside permanently
in the Unlte'd States.
All children born outside the limits of the
United States, who are citizens thereof in ac-
cordance with the provisions of section 1993 of
tne Revised Statutes or tne United States (see
tibove), and who continue to reside outside of
the United States, shall, in order to receive the
protection of the government, be required, upon
reaching the age of 18 years, to record at an
American consulate their intention to become
residents ana remain citizens of the United
States and shall further be required to take the
oath of allegiance to the United States upon at-
taining their majority.
NATURALIZATION LAWS.
Approved June 29, 1906.
Exclusive jurisdiction to naturalize aliens resi-
dent in their districts is conferred upon the

3. He shall, before he is admitted to citizen-

plication he has resided continuously within the
United States five years at least, and within
the state or territory where such court is at
the time held one year at least, and that during
that time he has behaved as a man of good
moral character, attached to the principles of
the constitution. In addition to the oath of the
applicant, the testimony of at least two wit-
nesses, citizens of the United States, as to the
facts of residence, moral character and attach-
ment to the principles of the constitution shall

ing with the other provisions of the act, be nat-

tention.

arrival in the United States and the date for the
nnal hearing of his petition and the names of

ASSASSINATION OF JEAN JAURES.
Jean Leon Jaures, noted as a socialist leader
and orator, was assassinated Friday evenim,
July 31, 1914, as he was (lining in a small res-
tcurant near the bourse in Paris, France. He
was shot dead by Raoul Villain, 29 years of age
and son of a clerk of the civil court in Reims.
The assassin on being arrested said he commit-
ted the act because Jaures had betrayed France
in leading the campaign against the three year
military law. Occurring as it did in the midst
of the excitement over war preparations through-
out Europe ttoe murder caused -a sensation, par-
ticularly as the victim had been laboring ener-
getically to make war impossible.
M. Jean Jaures was born' in 1859 at Castres
and in 1885 entered politics as a conservative re-
publican. In 1889 he became a socialist and later
as a member of the chamber of deputies ac-
quired wide fame as the leader of his party and
as an opponent of war.
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN THE UNITED STATES.
Capital punishment prevails in all of the states
of the union except Kansas. Maine, Minnesota.
Rhode Island, Washington and Wisconsin. In
Michigan the only crime punishable by death is
treason. The death penalty was abolished in the
state of Washington in 1913. It was abolished
in Iowa in 1872 and restored in 1878. It was
also abolished in Colorado in 1897, but was re-
stored in 1901. Hanging is the ordinary mode of
execution, but in Indiana. New York. Nebraska.
Ohio. Pennsylvania, Vermont and Virginia elec-
trocution is the legal method. In Nevada hang-
ing or shooting is optional with the condemned.
