should be allowed TO cycle, and If al.
lowed how much they may indulge in
the pastimc without mourning the risk
of injury, maintains that the subject is
one ON which no man can pronounce
dogmatically OF lay down strict and in
variable rules concerning. What for
one small boy or girl might be merely
healthy and beneficial exercise, for an
other might mean physical ruin. But
while each case must be judged on its
merits, one fundamental principle must
be clearly nunciated-namely, that no
young child with any organic weakness,
whether of heart, lungs, joints or nerv-
Gus system, should lie allowed TO mount
machine under any circumstances
whatever
Setting aside such natural disqualif-
cations, the exercise Of cycling. properly
regulated and adjusted to the capabilities
of the individual. is unqnestionably one
of the best forms OF recreation that can

ANCIENT EGYPTIAN ASTRONOMY.


without Instruments Ancient Astrono-
msrs Kept Track Of the Heavens.
We find Ia the table at the RaInesseum
distinct references to the bull. the hon
and the scorpion. and il is also clearly
indicated that at that time the Sirius rose
heliacally nj the beginning Of the rise Of
the Nile.
This word heliacally requires little
explanation The ancients. who had no
telescopes and had to use their horizon
as the only scientific instrument which
they possessed. were very careful in de
termining the various conditions III
which star could rise. For instance, i
a star wert rising at the same time that
the sun waS rising. II was said to rise
cosinically but unless certain very obyi-
GUS precautions were taken the rising
star would not be- seen in consequence Of
the presence If daylight
II is quite clear that II we observe
star rising in the dawn IL will get more
and more difficult to observe the nearer
the time Of sunrise Is approached There
fore what the ancients did was to deter
mine time before sunrise in the early
obviously and clearly seen to rise. The
term "heliacally rising was coined to
represent star rising yisibly In the
dawn therefore before the sun Gener
ally throughout Egypt the sun was sup
posed to be something like 10 dogs be
low the horizon when star was stated
to rise heliacally
We find then that more than 5000
years ago the Egyptians were perfectly
familiar with these facts. and the differ
ence between cosmical and heliacal
rising was perfectly clear to them. But
the table at Thebes tells us. moreover,
that the suns journey in relation TO some
Of the zodiacal consultations was per
fectly familiar 5000 years ago
These then are some of the more
general statements which may be made
so far discussed by those who have dealt
with Egyptian astronomy and il may
be added that all this information has
come to us IN Hydrologic gnise
! The various apparent movements OF
the heavenly bodies which are produced
by the rotation and revolution Of the
earth and the effects Of procession were
familiar to the Egyptians, however ig
norant they may have been Of the causes
