exquisitely beautiful little group of the PIeiades, which, closely followed by the Hyades and the brilliant star Aldebaran, has already entered the evening sky. And these groups, so beautiful in themselves, are forerunners of the long train of win
 ter stars which will gradually creep up higher and higher until they span the whole heavens from the east to the west.
 It is not surprising that the little stars which make up the Pleiades have been noted in the history and poetry of all ages, nor that the influence ascribed to them has always been good. To the na- tions along the Paraguay river they are the Great Spirit or Grandfather and on their reappearance are welcomed back with joyful shouts and prolonged festivi- ties. The hymn of welcome begins, What thanks do we owe thee And art thou re- turned at last? An, thou hast happily

cluster was revealed by photography It was discovered in 1884 that Maia was sur rounded by a nebulous cloud, while later and more perfect photographs showed that this was also true of nearly all of the stars of the group. Not only this. bat. little streamers of faintly shining nebu lous matter have been discovered bridg- ing the inconceivably great distances from star to star, and even extending almost to the distant star at A, Fig. 1, of the neighboring constellation Perseus. The positions of several of these streamers are roughly shown by the dotted lines in Fig. g. Fig. is from a photograph show ing the nebulous envelope of the brighter stars.
 It must be remembered that these stars are suns, separated by distances incon- ceivably great. What is the nature of the faintly shining clouds 80 enormously large that our earth and sun and whole solar system is but a point in comparison with them? Of what kind of matter are they composed, and what will be their fu- ture history? Will they some time be condensed into stars, or have they been elected from the great suns during the throes of their formation? Or have they ever been as they are now extending

 Below the Peades at B, Fig l. there will be seen the magnificent reddish star AIdebaran, while higher up in the north east at c shines out the even brighter star Capella. The name Aldebaran means the Follower, so called because the star follows the Pleiades Capella means the Little She Goat.

 There are but six stars of the cluster usually visible to the naked eye, but in a small telescope it is at once seen that there are many others Figure shows these, the six stars connected by lines be- ing the naked eye stars forming the we'll known dipper-shaped group. To the eye Atlas and Pleione appear as one, while Celaeno and Asterope are not usually vis- ibe. Near the center is the beautiful AL cyone, long famous because of an un- founded speculation that It is the central sun about which all of the stars of our universe revolve.

The full moon of September would then be the harvest moon that of October the hunters moon This is the more reason- able definition because the month of Oc- tober is not associated with harvest The effect of the harvest moon Is far more marked in England and Canada than it Is in the United States.

 we be placed midway between this star and our own sun, we would receive from
 Gapella 250 times as much light as from our little solar star. It has been discoy- cred that Capella is composed of two
