Among the winter considerations still
prominent in the sky none is better
known or more conspicuous than OriCn,
the mighty hunter or giant. 1t is fa-
nous in classic song, in modern poetry,
in mythology. in astrOloGy and i'll as
tronomiCal science. This is not at all
remarkable for the group contains
many bright stars strikinSly arranged.
The Belt with the two bright stars on
either side one rcd. the other white
must have always attracted the atten-
ton Of star-gazers. The ancient as
I troloGy associated the group with
stormy weather, and the quotations
from carly literature agree in ascrib-
ing this effect to its presence in the
sky. The origin of this tradition cam
not be definitely determined, but as we
know how the rules of astrology were
derived we can conjecture plausibiy
how this one started. The ancient OBJ
servers, believing from the suns evi-
dent influence on the earth that the
other heavenly bodies had similar but
less apparent influences. tried to de-
tect the relation by careful observa-
tions. They noted the positions Of the
heavenly bodies and the simultaneous
occurrences on the Garth. and made
their rules thus experimental!y.
Ptolemy's treatise on astroIogy, writ
ten nearly 1900 years ago. has come
down tn us and contains many of the
conclusions which were derived from
the comparison of celestial positions
n nd ri, ho
especially were thought to have indi-
vidual effects: thus Saturn caused cold
and dryness. Mars excessive dryress,
Jupiter fertiliziug breeZes. We can
safely conjecture. then. that the
stormy influence assigned to this inHo-
cent constellation grew out of the fact
that on many occasions storms did oc-
cur when il Occupied certain positions
i'm the sky. after 4 few such coin
cidencos the connection would seem
plausibly established. and. like the
similar connection noted between the
changes of the moon and weather
changes. it would be 4 current belief
for many generations.
The figure drawn around this group
of stars has had various forms. That
which has survived in those modern
star aliases which try to reproduce
the ancient figures is n warrior having

shield of lions hide in the other. The
