The stnrry FIrmament.

The occutatoh this morning by the moon
of GraGas or Beta Scorpions, the second star
for brightness in the constellation of the
Scorpion, was q most interesting spectacle.
The Occultation was complete, the light of the
star being totally intercepted by the moon for
many minutes. At the moment Of contact a
beautiful phenomenon was witnessed. The
star seemed to gather increased brilliancy,
and, apparently slipping away from the moon,
suddenly rebOunded back, as if violently
hitting tho satellites edge. At the mo-
ment Of egress it passed quietly from under
the eastern edge Of the moons disk, shining
with pale but still distinct radiance. The
waning splendor of the moon, the ruddy glare
of Antares to the eastward, and luminous
point of light shown by Beta Scorpions, after
emergence, made picture of unusual beauty.
SO complete an occultaton is not of common
occurrence, and hence is Of greater interest
Automatically it was q spectacle of peculiar
loveliness. According to the calculations OF
the astrologists it is phenomenon fraught
with disasters and woe for humanity.
