A Much Mothered Youngster.

From Nature.
A pair of blackbirds built a nest in small
thick laurel, and In another shrub, some
four feet off, pair of thrushes also set up
housekeeping. The young in both nests
were Matched at the same time. and were
successfully reared UNTIL when some eight
OF nine days old. they were attacked by
cat, who killed all the young thrushes and
all the blackbirds except one, which was
found hidden under the shrubs. 1t was
continually visited after the tragedy by
both the old thrushes and old blackbirds,
and two or three hours later was removed
in some way to a shrubbery twenty or thirty
yards away. There for the last five days I.
HIS been fed and looked after by both
vigor any intrudfng cat or dog. The four
parents seem In no way jealous OF one am
other.

now past of raising even a half crop. Some
of the upland farmers say their cotton has
been washed out by the root. Rain fell
today pretty we'll all over the belt.

usually ninth magnitude telescopic star, it suddenly blazes out at irregular inter- vals of about eleven months, becoming one of the conspicuous stars of the sky. This remarkable periodic change in this great sun has been thus observed for four centuries, and as yet 1t shows no sign of relaxation.
 Another celebrated variable Is the De- mon star. Algol, which will be found at D. Fig 1. This, instead of growing bright er will at perfectly definite interval of two days and twenty-one hours lose more than a Whole magnitude. or fve-sxths of its light. remaining thus faint for about twenty minutes and in about three and one-half hours regaining It's original brightness. It is now known that this darkening Is caused by a second star which Is revolving about Algol. and which passes between us and this star at every revolution. Altogether seventeen stars which vary in this way have been discov- cred. One of the most striking of them Is at L, Fig. 1. This diminishes one whole magnitude in brightness every three days and twenty-three hours.
 The observer will find Algol at its faint~ est on October 1. 4 a. m., October 4. 1 a. m., and October S. g D. m. The star l. Is at its faintest October 3, 1 p. m.. and at intervals of three days and twenty-three hours after this.

is well up in the sky, so that 1t presents a beautiful picture in a moderately large telescope. The observer can readily find 1t, for 1t is due south and just above Fo- malhaut.
 During the month Mars will move across the constellation Sagittarius. passing the pla.nt Uranus on the 9th, when the latter rtr,S. will be 1 degree 4S minutes north Of the former. The only other planet wis., ible in the early evening is Jupiter. which now shines out in the east as a brilliant star between the Pleiades and the Hy- ades. If the observer can look at the sky during the early morning hours however. he will then see Jupiter far up in the south, and in the east the ever more bril- liant planet Venus Tn small telescope this planet now looks like the moon when about three-quarters full.
 occuItatIon of the Hyades.
 During the first half of the month the motion of the moon will be very interest ing. It will be remembered that our sa- .tellite moves quite rapidly eastward among the stars. passing completely around the sky in about twenty-seven and one-fourth days. New mo ,n will occur on the 2Sth of September, alter which the moon will move steadily eastward away from the sun, passing Mars on October at a. m..

IF THE observer will turn toward the
 northeast on any evening during the month he will at once notice beau- tifu little group of stars forming the fig ure of small dipper. Between this group and the ground he will see a bright red star which Is at the northern end of a brilliant V-shaped figure. The little dip per shaped cluster is the famous Pleiades, or Seven Sisters, the group whose rising and settling marked among ancient peo- pies the approach of harvest and sowing time. The V-shaped group is the Hyades. Both the Hyades and Pleiades are part of the magnificent winter constellation, Taurus, or the Bull, which is now for the first time since many months again ap- bearing in the east.
 Nearly overhead he will see the constel- lation Andromeda with it's wonderful ne- bula Cat N Fig. D, just south of which is the great square of Pegasus, while exact ly In the south and near the ground he will find the Royal Star, Fomalhaut. This star with it's companion( at A and B, Fig.

1 D, are the brightest stars of a faint group called the Southern Fish, which oddly enough is always represented as drinking
 the whole of the large stream of water
 which Aquarius, or the Water Bearer. is pouring out.
 As winter approaches the great faint summer constellation of Ophiuchus, or
 the Serpent-holder, begins to sink from view in the west, while the beautiful Milky Way, with the brighter autumn groups, which lie along 1t no longer.
 passes exactly overhead, but is also slow ly setting toward the ground The ob- server will notice the odd position of the Great Dipper. This now Is due north, just below the Polar Star, and for the first time this year in the early evening it is right side up the bowl extending toward the east and the handle right along the ground toward the west.
 In the extreme southwest the bright planet Mars can still be seen, but it is
 much too near the ground to be well ob- served. Saturn, on the contrary, is in a better position for observation than at
 any other time during the year. The
 rings are still widely opened out and 1t

date the aspect of the moon and Saturn will be very beautiful, the planet being directly underneath the moon and less than 2 degrees from it. If the observer will turn his telescope back and forth from the planet to the moon he will prob- ably be surprised to discover how very green Saturn appears when contrasted with our satellites silvery white color. By the 17th of the month the moon will have reached the planet Jupiter, passing some degrees to the south of it. In it's eastward journey 1t will then pass be- tween us and the Hyades, plotting out one star afasr another and reaching the brilliant Aldebaran at H on October 17 about half-past in the morning. As it passes on toward the east the stars which have been hidden behind it suddenly re- appear one after another; it Is from the suddenness with which the stars disap- pear when the moon passes over them that astronomers conclude that our sa- tellite can posses no air and no water.
 It should be added that the apparent path of the moon over the Hyades will depend upon the position of the observer on the earth. To observers in the south ern states the moon will pass over the north stars of the group; to those in the northern states, however, only the lowest star e, Fig. D will be covered up.
 Variable Stars.
 There are many of the stars of the sky which vary in brightness. The first one of all which was discovered to do this is the star in Cetus marked O Zig. D. In 1896 this was found to be as bright as the North Star and recorded as new while 200 years later, at the time of its greatest brightness, 1t was almost equal to the star Aldebarian Cat H, Fig. D. Though
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-10-01

brightness will gradually increase, then fall away a little, and finally increase again much more than before, after which 1t will die out until the star Is as faint as before any increase began. The time that elapses between the successive outbreaks is apt to be very variable.
 The star at E. Fig. 1, is one of these. It is at its faintest October 1, II p. m.' and October 15. 10 p. n,., and at It's bright est October 5, Il .. m., and October 0. {
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-10-01

account for the increase of light observed.
 It may be. on the contrary. that va riable star Is but one sun, which has sun spots on 1t just as our sun has. but very much larger ones, and the irregular in crease and diminution of the number and size of these spots may be the cause of the changes observed. In deed, our own sun is slightly variable star, whose brightness Is at minimum every eleven years. when the spota arc most numerous.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-10-01

a. m. The star at F. Fig. l. Is faintest October g. a. m., and October 9, noon; 1t is brightest October 4, 5 D. m.. and Oc- tober Il, II D. m. The star at K is faint est October 6. a. m.. and October Il, noon, and at its brightest October '. noon. and October 2. p. m. All of these stars lose about one whole magnitude, or five sixths of their light in changing from maximum to minimum brightness.
 It is certain that inoonceivably violent
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-10-01

disturbances are occurring in these great suns to cause such changes in their light. It may be that each variable star is com posed of two suns, formed of incandes- cent, vaporized matter. and that in each revolution these suns graze or even par italy interpenetrate each other. as shown in Fig 2. Or the second star may only pass near the first. in which case its at- traction would distort both stars into lemon oscillations in them, which might
