A BEAUTIFUL FEBRUARY CONSTELLATION
The group of stars close together on the right is called the Pleiades. Six stars can easily be seen MAP OF TAURUS, THE BULL. in this group, but, on a very clear night, four more can be seen if you have good eyesight. Directly underneath the Pleiades can be seen the planet Saturn. To the eye, this appears like a star, but viewed with a telescope, it will show a round globe surrounded by a ring seen somewhat aslant.—Caroline E. Furness, Professor of Astronomy, Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, N. Y.

SATURN AND THE PLEIADES
“Saturn is a great globe some 76,000 miles in diameter, and encircled by thin, broad rings 170,000 miles in diameter. Many considerations tell us that these rings are made up of myriads of bodies so minute and so distant that they cannot be seen individually with any telescope.
“The planet and rings shine by reflecting the light of the sun to us. Though they form immense circles, the rings arc never opened wider than shown in the drawing, which closely represents the appearance of the planet at the present time. Every fifteen years these rings are presented to us on edge, and they are then too thin to be seen from the earth, and the planet appears for a day or two shorn of its beautiful appendages. This occurred last in 1907.
“The distance of Saturn from us on February 1, 1913, will be 841,000,000 miles. PHOTOGRAPH OF THE PLEIADES. Made with the ten-inch lens of the Bruce Photographic Telescope of the Yerkes Observatory, by E. E. Barnard Exposure three hours, forty-eight minutes.
“As will be seen by the photograph, the principle stars of the Pleiades are involved in dense gaseous matter, called nebulosity, which fills the entire cluster with wispy, shredded patches and masses of light.
“The entire cluster is slowly drifting across the sky toward the south and east. We say slowly, because it takes some years of careful observation to detect this movement, but the real motion must be at least many miles a second.”—Edward Emerson Barnard, Astronomer of the Yerkes Observatory, University of Chicago.

TINY INSECTS MOST BEAUTIFUL
Methods of photographing these tiny forms many times their original size are now practised, and there are many treats in store for those young PLUME-MOTH (ORNEODES PENTADACTYLA). naturalists who wish to engage in this most interesting pastime.
By using special photographic lenses, beautifully accurate enlargements, many times the size of the original, can be obtained.
The accompanying pictures of some tiny plume-moths, one of them like an exquisite fairy fan, reveal what beauty may be seen in insects slightly more than half an inch in the spread of their wings.

# The Academic Questions, Treatise De Finibus, and Tusculan Disputations/Academic Questions

Introduction.
The following account of the two Books of the Academics is extracted from the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography, edited by Dr, W. Smith:—
“The history of this work, before it finally quitted the hands of its author, is exceedingly curious and somewhat obscure; but must be clearly understood before we can explain the relative position of those portions of it which have been transmitted to modern times. By comparing carefully a series of letters written to Atticus, in the course of b.c. 45 (Ep. ad Att. xiii. 32; 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 19, 21, ​22, 23, 25, 35, 44), we find that Cicero had drawn up a treatise upon the Academic Philosophy, in the form of a dialogue between Catulus, Lucullus, and Hortensius; and ​that it was comprised in two books, the first bearing the name of Catulus, the second that of Lucullus. A copy was sent to Atticus; and, soon after it reached him, two new Introductions were composed, the one in praise of Catulus, the other in praise of Lucullus. Scarcely had this been done, when Cicero, from a conviction that Catulus, Lucullus, and Hortensius, although men of highly cultivated minds, and well acquainted with general literature, were known to have been little conversant with the subtle arguments of abstruse philosophy, determined to withdraw them altogether, and accordingly substituted Cato and Brutus in their place. Immediately after this change had been introduced, he received a communication from Atticus, representing that Varro was much offended by being passed over in the discussion of topics in which he was so deeply versed. Thereupon Cicero, catching eagerly at the idea thus suggested, resolved to recast the whole piece, and quickly produced, under the old title, a new and highly improved edition, divided into four books instead of two, dedicating the whole to Varro, to whom was assigned the task of defending the tenets of Antiochus; while Cicero himself undertook to support the views of Philo, Atticus also taking a share in the conversation.
“But, although these alterations had been effected with extreme rapidity, the copy originally sent to Atticus had in the meantime been repeatedly transcribed; hence both editions passed into circulation, and a part of each has been preserved. One section, containing twelve chapters, is a short fragment of the second or Varronian edition. The other, containing forty-nine chapters, is the entire second book of the first edition; to which is prefixed the new introduction, together with the proper title of Lucullus. The scene of the Catulus was the villa of that statesman, at Cumæ; while the Lucullus is supposed to have been held at the mansion of Hortensius, near Bauli.
“The object proposed was to give an account of the rise and progress of the Academic Philosophy, to point out the various modifications introduced by successive professors, and to demonstrate the superiority of the principles of the New Academy, as taught by Philo, over those of the old, as advocated by Antiochus.”

​COTTLE, Joseph, an English publisher and author, born about 1774, died in 1853. He was an early and generous friend of Coleridge and Southey, whose first poems he published while a bookseller at Bristol. He afterward wrote a volume of “Reminiscences” of those authors, poems entitled “Alfred,” “The Fall of Cambria,” and “Malvern Hills,” essays on Socinianism, and other pieces in prose and verse.—His brother, Amos Cottle, who died in 1800, translated the Icelandic Edda into English verse, but is best known by Byron's reference to his name in “English Bards and Scotch Reviewers.”
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Cotton, Charles

Edition of 1879. See also Charles Cotton on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​COTTON, Charles, an English poet, born at Beresford hall, Staffordshire, in 1630, died at Westminster in 1687. He was educated at Cambridge, travelled on the continent, and inherited in 1658 his father's estate near the river Dove, famous for its beauty and its trout, where he passed a studious and careless life, delighting his friends by his humor and accomplishments. He built a fishing house on the banks of the Dove, in which he entertained for years his friend Izaak Walton. He translated several works from the French and Italian, among which were Montaigne's “Essays” and Corneille's tragedy of “Horace.” In 1664 and 1672 he published “Scarronides, or Virgile Travestie,” an indelicate burlesque of the first and fourth books of the Æneid. He also burlesqued several of the dialogues of Lucan in poetical translations, and wrote a serious poem entitled “The Wonders of the Peake” (1681), a humorous piece entitled “A Journey to Ireland,” and some occasional poems of great merit. He is now best known by the second part which he added to the fifth edition of Walton's “Complete Angler,” valuable for the technical information which it gives concerning fly fishing, and for its descriptions of the scenery of the Dove.
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Cotton, John

Edition of 1879. See also John Cotton (minister) on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​COTTON, John, one of the first ministers of Boston, Mass., born in Derby, Eng., Dec. 4, 1585, died in Boston, Dec. 23, 1652. In 1598 he entered Trinity college, Cambridge, and was afterward fellow of Emmanuel and employed as lecturer and tutor. About 1612 he became vicar of St. Botolph's church in Boston, Lincolnshire, where he remained 20 years, noted as a preacher and controversialist, and inclining in his doctrines and practices toward the Puritan worship. His influence with his people carried them mostly with him, but he was at length informed against for not kneeling at the sacrament, and cited to appear before Archbishop Laud in the high commission court. Upon this he sought safety in flight, and after sojourning for some time in London went to America, arriving in Boston Sept. 4, 1633. In October he was ordained on a day of fasting, by imposition of hands by the minister and two elders, teacher of the church in Boston and colleague with Mr. Wilson the pastor. In this connection he remained until his death, with such influence and standing that he has been called the patriarch of New England. His death was brought on by exposure in crossing the ferry to Cambridge, where he was going to preach. He was a critic in Greek, wrote Latin with elegance, and could discourse in Hebrew, and spent 12 hours a day in reading, his favorite author being Calvin. His pulpit eloquence was famous for its simplicity and ​plainness, and his discourses were exceedingly effectual in exciting attention to religion. He was very regular in religious observances, keeping the Sabbath holy from evening to evening, and it was from him that the form of that observance was disseminated throughout New England. Among his numerous works the most important are those published in the course of his controversy with Roger Williams, "Milk for Babes," a religious book for children, and "The Power of the Keys," on the nature of church government. Against Williams he defended the interference of the civil power in religious matters for the support of the truth, maintaining the duty, for the good of the church and of the people, of putting away those who, after repeated admonitions, persist in rejecting fundamental points of doctrine or worship. A monumental tablet, with a Latin inscription by Edward Everett, was erected in St. Botolph's church in Boston, England, in 1857, in honor of Cotton, chiefly by contributions from his descendants in Boston, Mass.
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Courland

Edition of 1879. See also Courland on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​COURLAND (Ger. Kurland), one of the Baltic provinces of Russia, bounded N. by the gulf of Riga and Livonia, E. by the government of Vitepsk, S. by that of Kovno, and W. by the Baltic; area, 10,555 sq. m., pop. in 1867, 597,288. The face of the country is level, but interspersed with some hills, the highest of which has an elevation of 700 ft. The province contains many forests, especially of pine and fir, and there are said to be no fewer than 300 lakes and ponds. Among the larger rivers are the Düna, Aa, and Windau; and there are many small streams and brooks. The soil is not rich, but when properly tilled is productive. The principal products are wheat, rye, barley, oats, peas, beans, hemp, flax, and linseed. Clay, iron, lime, and gypsum are found, and are wrought to some extent. The manufactures are unimportant. The province is formed of the old duchies of Courland and Semgallia, united with the ancient bishopric of Pilten and the district of Polangen, which once formed part of the duchy of Lithuania. It is divided into six circles. It has two shipping ports, Libau and Windau. Capital, Mitau. The Protestants number 486,815, and their ecclesiastical affairs are conducted by the consistory of Mitau. There are about 18,000 members of the Greek church and 55,335 Roman Catholics, who together possess but 19 churches, and are subject respectively to the bishops of Pskov and Samogitia. There are 35,841 Jews, and many Poles, Russians, and residents of various other nationalities, among whom are the Krevins, a race of Finnish descent. The nobility and the city population, and the higher classes generally, are of German descent, numbering about 77,000, while the peasantry and the lower classes are chiefly of Lettish origin. A provincial diet, composed exclusively of nobles, meets annually at Mitau.—Courland, having been together with Livonia Christianized and for centuries ruled by the knights sword-bearers, became a temporal hereditary duchy under Ketteler, the last grand master, about 1560, as a dependency of the Polish crown. Ketteler introduced the reformation. By the marriage in 1710 of Duke Frederick William with the princess Anna Ivanovna of Russia, the influence of that empire became predominant in Courland. It was strengthened in the following year, when after the duke's death Anna was appointed regent, under the protection of Peter the Great. After Anna's accession to the Russian throne in 1730, her uncle Ferdinand officiated as duke of Courland until his death in 1737. Subsequently the duchy was ruled by Anna's favorite, the adventurer Biron, who died in 1772, and bequeathed it to his eldest son Peter. The latter, failing to give satisfaction to the country, was obliged to cede Courland to Catharine II. in 1795. Since that time it has formed part of Russia, though retaining some ancient privileges.
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Cottin, Madame Sophie Ristaud

Edition of 1879. See also Sophie Ristaud Cottin on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​COTTIN, Madame Sophie Ristaud, a French novelist, born at Tonneins in 1773, died in Paris, Aug. 25, 1807. In 1790 she married M. Cottin, a wealthy banker of Bordeaux, who died in 1793. The publication of her first novel, Claire d'Albe (1798), was said to have been due to her desire of benefiting a needy friend. Her novel Élisabeth, ou Les exilés de Sibérie (1806), was her most careful production, and has been more generally translated into foreign languages than any of her other novels. She published her works anonymously until the attention which they attracted forced her to reveal her name. Among her other novels are Malvina, Amélie, and Mathilde. Complete editions of her works appeared in 1817 and 1823.
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Cotton, Robert Bruce

Edition of 1879. See also Sir Robert Cotton, 1st Baronet, of Connington on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​COTTON, Sir Robert Bruce, an English antiquary, founder of the Cottonian library, born at Denton in Huntingdonshire, Jan. 22, 1570, died in London, May 6, 1631. He wrote many discourses and opinions upon matters of state policy, was knighted by James I. on his accession, and was a member of the first parliament of Charles I. He made a very valuable collection of ancient manuscripts, including many which had been scattered about the kingdom when Henry VIII. dissolved the monasteries. In 1629 he was arrested on a false suspicion of having written an obnoxious pamphlet, thrown into the tower, and his library was sequestrated. Though released, he was still denied access to his library; and to this deprivation he attributed the malady of which he died. His collection was augmented by his son and grandson, and, after having been partly destroyed by fire in 1731, was afterward transferred to the British museum. A catalogue of this library was published by the commissioners upon the public records in 1802.

THE FOX’S WEDDING
JapaneseOnce upon a time there was a young white fox, whose name was Fukuyémon. When he had reached the fitting age he shaved off his forelock and began to think of taking to himself a beautiful bride. The old fox, his father, resolved to give up his inheritance to his son, and retired into private life; so the young fox, in gratitude for this, laboured hard and earnestly to increase his patrimony. Now it happened that in a famous old family of foxes there was a beautiful young lady-fox, with such lovely fur that the fame of her jewel-like charms was spread far and wide. The young white fox, who had heard of this, was bent on making her his wife, and a meeting was arranged between them. There was not a fault to be found on either side; so the preliminaries were settled, and the wedding presents sent from the bridegroom to the bride’s house, with congratulatory speeches from the messenger, which were duly acknowledged by the person deputed to receive the gifts; the bearers, of course, received the customary fee in copper cash.
When the ceremonies had been concluded, an auspicious day was chosen for the bride to go to her husband’s house, and she was carried off in solemn procession during a shower of rain, the sun shining all the while. In Japan a shower during sunshine is called “The fox’s bride going to her husband’s house.” After the ceremonies of drinking wine had been gone through, the bride changed her dress, and the wedding was concluded, without let or hindrance, amid singing and dancing and merry-making.
The bride and bridegroom lived lovingly together, and a litter of little foxes was born to them, to the great joy of the old grandsire, who treated the little cubs as tenderly as if they had been butterflies or flowers. “They’re the ​very image of their old grandfather,” said he, as proud as possible. “As for medicine, blelss them, they’re so healthy that they’ll never need a copper coin’s worth!”
As soon as they were old enough they were carried off to the temple of Inari Sama, the patron saint of foxes, and the old grandparents prayed that they might be delivered from dogs and all the other ills to which fox flesh is heir.
In this way the white fox by degrees waxed old and prosperous, and his children, year by year, became more and more numerous around him; so that, happy in his family and his business, every recurring spring brought him fresh cause for joy.
# Takao Ozawa v. United States

Takao Ozawa v. United States, 260 U.S. 178 (1922), was a case in which the United States Supreme Court found Takao Ozawa, a Japanese man, ineligible for naturalization. In 1922, Takao Ozawa filed for United States citizenship under the Naturalization Act of June 29, 1906 which allowed white persons and persons of African descent or African nativity to naturalize. He did not challenge the constitutionality of the racial restrictions. Instead, he attempted to have the Japanese classified as "white." Warning: template has been deprecated.
