orb OF day. The consultations, too, al
though the practical astronomer does not
think much of them, possess extraordi-
nary interest, because they are among tho
most ancient ard the most enduring ,rea-
tions of the human ina Siuat;on. AS
DIR. Seiss says: "Hcathen, Moham-
mcdsrs and Christians, the Oldest

thihgs, yet agree in adoptingand honorig
these primitive notatjons OF the etars."
More than one learned investga iuclud-
ing the late DR.. Seyfiarth, has come to the
conclusion that many, at least, OF the con
stellatiOns known to us were familiar o the
inha bitants OF the earth before the flood.
Yet most Of the consultations are so fauci-
ful that only vivid imagina ton is able to
picture the figures among the stars which
men for ages past, and in all countries.
have agreed TO recognize there.
Modern Investigations have also made
the stars more interesting by showing the
existence of many differences between them.
The spectrOScope finds evidence that some,
like Capella and Arcturus closely resemble
our sun in composition and age, while
Others. like Sirius and Vega, are probably
much younger than the sun; and some, like
Bete!geuse and AntareS. are older than the
sun, and slowly approaching the age of ex-
tinetiOn. From all quarters of the hcav-
information that they contain iron, cal
cium, nickel, lead and many other metals
and substances that we find upon the earth,
and that blaze in the philosophers of the
sun.
To know the stars, then, is to enjoy
the glory OF many suns instead OF one
alone.

in our second picture. Astronomers have
found evidence that Sirius has been a
STORED star in every land. The ancients
ascribed the great heats oi midsummer to
tho influence OF the Dog Star, which at that
season rose at the same time as the sun.
So Virgil wrote:

For the Egyptians the rising of Sirius
foretOld the rising OF the Nile, and the ours
OF Rome had reason to dread their bla zing
namesake in the sky, for the Romans year
ly sacrificed a dog to propitiate the great
star. THERE'S some reason to think thata
remarkable change of color has taken place
in Sirius, for whereas it is now as white as
the purest diamond, it is said to have been
red in ancient times. Sirius is also double
star, but 1T takes very powerful telescope
To show the faint companion of the Dog
Star. This companion is one of the most
mysterious objects in the heavens, because
although 1t possesses u mass equal to one
third that OF Sirius, yet its light is so dim
that it makes only n minute speck beside
the great star. 1t has been suggested that
TINS may be tremendous PLAN

family rejecting his light to us. Iii more
likely, however, to be body which has not
vet passed completely beyond the solar
stage of its existence-a dying sun, which
ages hence will become the Jupiter of the
Srian system. 1t takes this mysterious
star about forty-nine years to complete q
revelation around Sirius. The second mag
nitude star in the fore foot of the Dog is
called Miriam. The star situated i'm the
Dogs right ear is named Muliphen, and has
undergone singular changes. In the seven
tcenth century it is said to have disap-
peared for twenty years. In the Dogs

magnitude called Wesen, and in the hip is
another of nearly equal brightness, called
Adara. The two hinder feet are marked by

Of the heavens. The advances Of astronomy
in our day have been so rapid, and the
