or the six stars Of the first maeni-
tude, which We're above the horizon at
D. m on the first of last month, one,
Regulus, is no longer visible at that

seen, but all have moved thirty de-
grees, or two hours, farther west. We

Mars, between Regulus and Spica, is
too low to be visible. The brilliant Ju-
piter is just about crossing the me-
raian, and six degrees farther east Is
Saturn.
One of the finest of the summer con-
stelations is the Swan (Cygnus), bet
ter known to modern stargazers as the
Northern Cross. Tonight Ii viii be
found at the hour named, in the east,
beneath the star Vega. II may be
identified from the cross-like arrange
ment Of its five brighter stars, which,
with one exception, are Of the third
magnitude. The exception Is the star
Alpha-known also as Deneb Cygni-
which marks the head Of the Cross (tail
of the Swan, and which stands on the
photometric scale about midway be-
tween the first and second magnitudes.
This star is notable as one OF the
bright stars in which Or. Elkin some
years ago could detect no sensible par
allax with the Yale hcliometer. pre-
sumably because of their enormous re-
moteness from US, whence this star is
probably TO be classed among those
celestial giants which so dwarf our own
splendid lumlnary.
Alpha Cygni Vega and Affair form

which are Of about equal length. Near
~ at the center of this triangle stands
Beta Cygni. in the foot of the Cross
beak OF the Swan. Reta Cygni Is one
of the very finest Of the colored double
stars, and Is a splendid object for a
small telescope. Indeed. II can be seen
TO be double through an ordinary spy
glass or even a good feldglass. The
principal star is yellow; the smaller
companion Is OF deep marine blue.
