Written for The Star by Prof. Eric Doolittle.
The planet Saturn which, with it's rings,
has been SO beautiful an object for obser-
walton during the past month, has now
sunk low down in the southwest. 1t is In
the western edge of the faint autumn con-
stelation Aquarius, and while in the early
evening 1t can still be seen, it is steadily
drawing nearer and nearer to the sun and
will soon be lost to us for another year.
Meanwhile the ever interesting little planet,
Mars, has been moving steadily eastward
among the stars. The consultations set a
little earlier on each successive evening,
but Mars is passing over them just as rap
idly as they are sinking toward the ground,
SO that during the entire month the planet
will set at almost exactly the same hour
each evening. In its eastward motion 1t will
enter Aquarius, and on Christmas night it
will meet the planet Saturn. The two plan
cts will then present most beautiful as
pect in small telescope. They will be SO
close together that they can both be seen
at once in the glass. and the rontrast be-
tween the red color of Mars and the green
ish tint of Saturn will be very striking.

experiment of recent years.
According to the last report of the Par
sons Marine Steam Turbine Company Il
has delivered turbine machinery amounting
In the aggregate to 40 900 horse power dur
ing the season. and has received orders for
1o.0oo horse power. Its licensees have de-
fvered 5000 horse power and taken orders
for 3d. 900 horse power. Nearly all the ma
rine engineering works in the kingdom have
taken out licenses to manufacture engines
on the Parsons system. The Fairfield Ship
building Company has almost finished

new vessels built by the Southeastern Rail-
way Company for their Dover-Calais service
are of this pattern. The Burns line has a
turbine steamer on the stocks, TO ply be-

A and B, Fig. I. Yet there are many
other such pairs of stars in the sky to
which figure of twins might equally well
have been applied. The origin of many Of
the constellation figures is so remote that
their explanation is lost to US.
The Arabians saw in the group of stars
two peacocks, the Egyptians two sprout-
ing plants. and the Hindus twin deities,
while In the Buddhist Zodiac they repre-
scented woman holding a golden cord
Since classic times, however. the figure
has always been that of human twins
which were supposed to have been placed In
the sky as a reward for their love OF one
another on earth. They were the guardians
Of Rome and were hence inscribed on the
Roman silver coin; the pence" of the good
were represented as two horsemen. And

twin brothers were the figurehead of the
ship on which he and his companions sailed
to Syracuse.
Astrologically, the constellation was of
the most favorable influence, portending
genius, goodness and liberality. Its sup
posed influence over the sea may be judged
from Homer's Hymn to Castor and Pol
lux"
When wintry tempests Ger the savage
Are raging, and the sailors tremblingly
Call On the twins OF Jove with prayer and vow,
Gathered IN fear upon the lofty prov,
Even then they suddenly appear,
Fair omen of the voyage; from toll and dread
The sailors rest rejoicing in the sight
And plough the quiet sea in safe delight

The Word Gentleman"

From the London Outlook.

and disadvantages, and have found that on

and the cause OF various evils.

has long been known to be a beautiful
double star, the componentS revolving
slowly about one another in a period of
about 900 years. Quite recently, however
it was discovered by the spectroscope that
these components which make up Castor
are themselves double. though far too close
forming of the apparently single star
magnificent Quadruple system OF suns. The
distance apart of the two suns which We
see den we turn the telescope on Castor
is more than 100 times great as the dis
lance from the earth to the sun. That is.
these two suns more than thousand
million miles apart. and yet they are SO in
hQiteay far away that to the naked eye
they are indistinguishable and appear as
one single star.
Measuring Distances of Stars.
Fig. 2 shows the great telescope of the
Yerkes Observatory of the University of
Chicago, the largest effective telescope in
the world The end through which the OBJ
server looks IS, of course at A. When the
telescope is pointed to the sky this end
may be thirty or forty feet above the floor,
but by a small motor the entire floor is
lifted uD with the observer on it, until
he is as near the end of the great tube as
may be desired.
The observer then finds that the smaller
end of the telescope looks shown in Fig.
3. Applying his eye to the small hole at
3 he would see, If the telescope were
pointed at a high star, not only this bright
star itself, but number of very faint
stars, also which are far too faint to be
seen with the naked eye. Beside these, he
will notice two fine straight lines. the whole
looking, perhaps, shown in Fig. 5.
The two fine lines two little spider
threads which are lit up at night by the
little lamp at L, Fig. 4: One of these
lines can be moved back and forth over
the field of view by turning the very fine
screw of which the end is at S, Fig. 4, the
number of turns of the screw which are
made in moving the thread from star to
star being shown by the graduated head
at II.
In Fig. it is supposed that the distance
from the star c to the star A is being
measured. The whole instrument is turned
until the wires are perpendicular to the
line joining G and a, and the number of
turns of the screw necessary to move one
of the threads from A to c is then found.
position of c In reference to all the little
faint stars in the vicinity can be meas
ured.
Positions Vary.
It may be that If these mea sures are
continued from month to month it will be
found that C does not stay always i'm the
same position in reference to the faint
stars. If the various measured positions of
c are drawn a map Gig. g. 1t may be
found that is moving about In a little
elMptical path starting at M, reaching N
three months later o six months later and
then in twelve months coming back to M
again. We then know that c Is really not
in motion at all; it is only displaced back
ward and forward on the sky because we
ourselves are moving around the sun in

Castor and Pollux.

The star to the north, at A, Fig. /, Is
called Castor, and the one to the south is
Pollux.
The stars marked C, D, E and F are
beautiful doubles, all of them except the
one at E being visible even in a quite
small telescope. But the most interest
Ing of all of the doubles in this constella-
ton Is the bright star Castor itself. This
