Written for The Star by Prof. Eric Doolittle.
On a clear night the sky now presents
the most brilliant appearance of the entire

and the upper half of the very long faint
constellation Evidanus may also be seen,
although the rest of the mighty river has
sunk below the ground. AS Evidanus
sinks in the west there begins to emerge
from below the ground in the east the

faint group known as Hydra. or the Water
Snake.

Almas Temple of the Mystic Shrine held

From Iesfle'S Weekly.
One of the unique dining clubs of New
York is situated in the heart of the shop
ping district where members weary with
a tiresome round of the stores find it handy
to drop in for luncheon and a nap. The
organization flourishes under the name OF
Glover Club" and the membership fee en-
titling one to its hospitable comforts is only
10 cents a month; or If one wishes TO en-
Joy its convenences but once she is ad-
mited for FIVE cents. The most important
feature of the club Is the dining room,
where each member waits upon herself and
keeps the tip for car fare. 1t is a large
room screened from the public eye by a
row OF palms and attractively curtained
windows The tables are dainty as to
linen. ana the silver is of the best. The
cooking is OF the home order and it Is not
only well seasoned, but hot, and appetizing
to the most fastidious. The prices are such
that even the hungriest can get enough
good substantial food for 10 cents, and for
- cents one can select a meal which in any
OF the uptown cafes would cost over a dol

will reach h at three hours thirty-six min
utes am, at which instant the moon will
begin to emerge reaching the point f, and
thus ending the eclipse at four hours
thirty-siX minutes a. m.
Sometimes when the moon is wholly with
in the shadow 1t is totally invisible, but
more frequently it is Illuminated by faint
greenish or copper-colored light. In the
former case we know that along the great
circle of the earth in which the shadow
cone touches it the skies are cloudy. In the
latter they are clear, and more or less sun
light is bent downward into the shadow
cone by the refraction of the air. Usually,
however. the faint light of the moon con-
tinuaIly changes in intensity and color as
the earth turns around at the base of the
cone. the whole rather strange appearance
forming an impressive and most interest

ly overhead. The beautiful group Taurus
has begun To settle very slowly downward
toward the west. but 1t will not entirely
disappear from the early evening sky until
next May. The planet Jupiter, now the
brightest object of the sky, is still near
the center OF this constellation with the

Leo Well Up in the Sky.
The constellation Leo, or the Lion, APP
pears well up in the sky this month for
the first time since last July. This i'm
portaut group has been celebrated from the
most remote antiquity; 1t is suggested that
its name may have arisen from the fact
that when the sun enters the constellation
in midsummer the lions abandon the desert
and appear on the banks of the Nile. The
Egyptians worshiped the Stars of this group
because at this time the rise OF the great
river occurred. AS might be expected. the
sign was astrologically considered most
fortunate. Yet ancient physicians thought
that when the sun was in this group all
medicine became poisonous. possibly not
without reason when we consider the medi-
cines which they administered. and hearing

Georgia it is conspicuous and well-known
object. This star. which appears almost
as bright as Sirius, must in reality be in
conceivably brighter, for its distance from
us is so great that with our present means
we cannot measure 1t.
The Planets.
Those who have watched the bright little
pair of planets, Mars and Saturn, in the
southwest, have noticed how during jan
uary they have gradually drawn apart,
Mars moving swiftly toward the east
that by the end of the month it left Saturn
far behind The sun in it's eastward mo-
ton is rapidly overtaking Saturn and will
pass between us and this planet on Feb
ruary n; consequently it is not now visi-
BILE except for a short time after sunset. The
eastward motion of Mars, however, Will
keep this planet in the early evening sky
throughout the entire month. 1t is rapidly
drawing away from the earth, its distance
at present being about 10000 miles. Eor
will ii again be in favorable position for
observation for more than year.
The brilliant planet Jupiter is in the best
possible position for observation. and with
it's moons and the markings on it's surface
presents a beautiful aspect in a small tele-
scope. Neptune remains in Gemini in the
position shown in figure 1, but none of the
other planets is visible in the early even
ing during February.
Total Eclipse of the Moon.
In the early morning of February to-
tai eclipse Of the moon will occur, which
will be visible throughout the whole of the
United States. The moon will enter the
earth's shadow and the eclipse will begin
at three minutes before a. m, eastern
standard time: the eclipse will become total
at minutes before =, and will remain to-
tai for one hour and thirty-eight minutes.
al the end of which time the moon will be-
gin to emerge from the shadow, the eclipse
ending at thirty minutes past A.
The large shaded circle in figure shows
a section of the earth's shadow at the point
where the moon will pass through 1t. This
shadow of the earth is in the form of an
immense cone, whose base is the earth
itself and whose apex points directly away
from the sun. The moon will move through
this shadow from west to east along the
line of A b. At twelve hours fifty-Seven
minutes am. the center of the moon will
be at G and the eclipse will begin; at one
hour fifty-eight minutes the center will
have reached ID, and the moon will then be
completely in the shadow. At any interme-
diate time the moon will be partly within
the shadow and partly outside of it; its APP

be used in two ways and therefore

to hit the high spots daily. Tom says
he bought the bicycle for economy and

You see. it's like this, Toms business

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

When we entered into an arrange
ment between ourselves as to the de-
livery of ice. we had no other end in
view than to reduce the expense in
cident upon a double set of delivery
teams, resulting in lessening the price
of ice to our customers, as well as an
economic saving to ourselves. Our
motives have been misconstrued and
our actions misrepresented. We do not
wish to be regarded by our patrons as
cOnspirators or as having entered into
an arrangement in restraint of trade to
the detriment of the rights of citizens
with whom it is our interest to deal.
Legal advisers have assured US that
there has been no transgression of the
statute in effect; we know there has
been none in intention.
Rather than further pursue our bust
ness with our customers fearing the
existence of an arrangement between
US unfair to them, we prefer that none
longer continue.
Hence we publish the following
notice:
NOTICE OF. DISSOLUTION.
We hereby announce that the part
nership heretofore existing between
w B. Lount and F. NJ. Avis, as the
authorized representatives of the Peo-
pies Ice & Fuel Company, in the de-
livery of ice under the firm name of
the City Ice Delivery Company, has
been this day mutually dissolved.
That f NJ. Avis, the authorized rep
resentative of the Peoples Ice & Fuel
Company, has sold all his interest and
the interest of said Peoples Ice & Fuel
Company in said City Ice Delivery

tinue the business of said City Ice De-
livery Company and pay all bills and
collect all accounts due and owing said

try IT SOME TIME,

While sitting in a refreshment booth
yesterday the writer overheard 4 mem
Der of the ice trust, who until recently
has been living in Tempe, engaged in
"a heated argument with the dispenser
of liquids behind the counter The
dispenser commended that it was GER
tainly an outrage TO hold up the retail
er and consumer in the manner as he
contends is now being done. Finally the
member of the ice trust told him that
the public was not forced to buy ice
but that if they did they must expect
TO pay a fair price for it. whereupon
the dispenser began to throw some
more fits. As a last resort and as a
final answer to all his charges the ice
trust quietly gave him a receipt for
making lemonade without ice. Upon
hearing this from the lips of former
citizen of his own town he Immediately
sat up and took notice. This was the
recipe: Get somebody to hand you
a lemon. squeeze it's contents into a
pitcher half filled with water. Break
two lamp chimneys into the pitcher
and shake we'll until they hit the sides
of the pitcher freely. Then strain and
serve" When the dispenser recovered
from his tit the ice man had left.
