In the teiescopesit is a little faint, round
wooly-looking object without any vestige of
a tail, strikiugly unlike the brilliant naked
eye comets which occasionally appear It

walls ever since.
Venus Is now the brightest object of the

brilliant but 1t will not attain it's bright
ness until near the end of March. AS 1t

Jupiter will also at once attract atten-
ton In the southwest. This planet is draw

observed at most for but one or two months
more.
Mars Is slowly drawing into more fayora-

During the evenings of February the sky
has the most brilliant aspect of the entire
year. The whole southern half of the heav-
ems is now filed with the bright winter
consultations, while to crown all the glori-
Gus milky way. that High Road Paved
With Stars spans the whole heavens with
an arch of gold
Orion, the brightest of all the constella-
tons of the heavens, shines high up in the
southern sky, closely attended by the beau
tiful Gemini and Taurus with the Pleiades
and Hyades, while Auriga, the Charioteer,
Is directly overhead. Low down in the
northeast Leo, or the Sickle, is now appear
ing, beautiful suggestion of the harvests
which shall come when in it's slow journey
toward the west this group of stars shall
pass behind the sun.
This striking group of stars, which the
observer can readily trace out in the sky
from the map, Fig. /, is mentioned in the
literature of all ages. In Egypt it repre-
sented Horus, the young rising sun, in
a boat surmounted by stars, closely fol-
lowed by Sirius, which shown as "a
COW. 1t has also been found sculptured on
the walls of Thebes 5000 years ago. And
on the men of that early time it shone
down from the same position and with the
striking example of the unchanged bleness
of the heavens.
Orion's Stormy Character.
From the days Of the early Hindus to the
present the constellation has for some rea-
son borne always a stormy character; al
lusions to its direful influence are found
everywhere among the classic writer's Thus
Milton wrotea when with fierce winds
Orion arrived Hath vexed the Red sea
coast ~ sa.s
The loss of the Roman squadron in the
first Punic war was ascribed to the fleets
having sailed just after the rising of Orion,
The group has also, been employed as a
calendar sign, its morning rising indicating
the beginning of summer, its midnight ris-
ing the season of grape gathering, and its
early evening rising the arrival of winter
with its attendant storms. In recent times
the group has always represented a great
hunter or warrior; its present title came
into Greek astronomy from the Euphrates
and originally signified the Light of
Heaven. Re-.

that even in large telescope they appear

careful examination of the details of
the milky way with an opera glass or small
telescope will well repay the observer for
his trouble. 1t is now in the most favorable
position possible for observation; in month
or two it will lie too closely along the
ground to be well seen. By next August it
will again pass overhead, but it will then
be the part which is now below the ground
in the northwest which will be visible to us.
Comets.
How many comets will be seen during 1905
cannot be foretold. The great majority of
these objects appear unexpectedly, and after
a few months of visibility draw away from
the sun, to be seen no more for centuries, if
at all. Such were the great comets of 1858
and 1882, the latter of which was SO bright
as to be visible in full daylight.
But sometimes in its motion comet ap-
proaches so near to one of the larger planets
that the pull of this body on the comet al
tiers the nature of it's path and forces it to

CHATTER Ill
In Tom river in those days, friends
stood on small ceremony with one another
Jack stood on none at this time. He was
walking rapidly and, being engaged with
the business of pulling some papers from
his pocket and examining them as he
came. entered the room preoccupied, and
with Internationally noiseless steps upon
the woven rag mat which protected the
carpet just before the door. He was an
alert, good-looking chap of twenty-five or
Whereabouts. and it was plain that he was
thinking of his politics.
Even after he had actually made his en-
trance. he did not look up instantly, but,
stin looking at his papers, spoke without
preliminaries.
Il tell you, Mr. Cooper we've got those
fellows where We want them!' were the
words which went from him to startle eight
astonished ears.
Shrieks from the young women were the
immediate result of this signal of intrusion.
Instantly they rushed to the door leading
to the StairS-hut 1t was locked and the
key to 1t was in Betsey Bobbins pocket.
Betsey and Cooper kneeled bewildered for
Il moment. and then Betsey sprang up
quickly. In the meantime Bess began to
shout to SelkTk:
Go sway, Oh. go away!'
But Selkirk stood as one quite petrified
as well he might be-by the sight of SO
much modest loveliness unexpectedly re-
vealed. He gazed in something very near
to Stupefaction from one of the shrinking
sisters to the other. Then Mercy spoke,
and her words We're of an import similar
to those of Bess 1t Is possible that there
was shade more shrillness in her fash
ion of delivery.

that we could look down through it and see
tie stars below and all around us as well
completely encircling the heavens. Below
the ground In the southeast we would see
1t widen into broad, fan-like expanse;
then would come a sudden break. after
which it passes in a narrow. bright stream
over the southern cross. Still following II
downward, we would find it growing wider
and very bright until the point directly
under foot was reached. From here, oc-
casionally branching and separating into
knots and patches of unusual brightness,
we could trace it until 1t finally emerged
above our horizon in the northwest.
1t is probable that our sun and all of the
naked-eye stars are but members of this
great aggregation. We are a part of this
milky way cluster, and can therefore only
