The name tells us nothing-any more than does the popular association of these lovely stars with the little she gct ts' that honest San Tho Panza saw on his aerial excursion.

Yet there is reason to believe that the Greeks did but apply their own names to figure that had been placed in the sky long before, and referred to a state of civiliza- tion which was already buried under the drums and tramplings of many conquests when Homer sang and Plato reasoned Astronomical considerations give us a reasonable guess at the time and place of the birth of the consultations, but it is probable that we shall never know more of their origin. They may have been part of some early religion written on the face of the heavens for all men to read; they may have formed the proud est Pantheon of dead heroes ever con- ceived by man; they may have been simply convenient memoria technica by which the first astronomers defined the places of the stars.
 Probably the earliest star names that have yet been brought to light are to be deciphered on the Assyrian tablets.

Regulus was then the King of the Starry Plain" and the Horse, the Ser pent, the Scorpion and the Bull were already to be found in the places where we look for them today, Bootes was the Herdsman, and Aries the Ram. How are we to explain this coincidence between the Grek and the Euphratean astronomers? It is mere plagiarism or an instance of the extraordinary currency of tradition, or a proof that the constellations really lok like the strange forms which we try to see in them? One can understand that Castor and Pollux should always be called the Twins, and the American name of the Dipper is only a little more realis- tic than the Flow of our own Vain though it is not easy to see how Homer perceived the Bear in the same stars- and no great stretch ofimagination is needed to see the outspread wings of the Swan and the curve of the Sickle. But beyond that we can hardly go, and the real origin of the constellation figures is likely to remain to all time ''ropt in mistry."

 MT. Janney is quite an aged man, being somewhere in the neighborhood of 9C years. In spite, however, of his age, he visits daily the foundry which he estab- lished over forty years ago.
 Tuesday, as he was making a tour of the foundry. he entered the melting room. He inquired of the worltmen whether he was in the way or in any danger, and received a negative answer.
 Just at this moment, two of the foun- drymen were carrying some molten metal in dip from one part of the room to another. The metal was splashed in

THE ORIGIN OF STAR NAMES.
Individual Names Have Mostly Come

London Spectator.

London Spectator.
 The oldest star names which have come down to us are those of the cohstella- tions, which-there is good reason to De- lieve-were traced on the sky something like 5000 years ago by forgotten race dwelling in the valley of the Euphrates. In their present shape they have passed through the artistic hands of the Greeks, while the individual star names have mostly come to us from the Arabs. Both sources are to be seen in Spenser's lines; Now when Aldebaran was mounted high Above the starry Cassiopeia's Chair
 Andromeda and Cassiopeia, Pegasus Orion, the Twins and the Ship Argo all bear the print of that brilliant Hellenic imagination which has done so much to illuminate and beautify the world
