does. 1t is attended by an enormous, conical shadow stretching out into space directly away from the sun. The motion of the moons frequently carries them into this shadow and they are then eclipsed Fig. shows on the proper scale this shadow with the orbits of the moons of the planet. On nearly every night. of this month one or more moons may be seen to be eclipsed by passing into this shadow. It was from these eclipses that the velocity of light was discovered by the
 Danish Astronomer Roemer in 1875. Since the earth moves about the sun in an orbit of fS5 millions of miles in
 diameter 1t follows that our distance from Jupiter varies by just this Now 1t is noticed that when
 we are nearest the planet the eclipses of his moons occur Sm 19s early. and when we are farthest away just sm l9s late. As we draw near the planet
 the eclipses occur earlier and earlier and as we recede they fall more and more behind time. Evidently this will
 be fully accounted for by assuming
 that the light by which we view the satellites requires an appreoiable time to make the journey to us It is found
 that when we increase our distance
 from Jupiter 1855 millions miles, the
 cclipses occur just Ism 3ss late, from
 which the velocity of light found to

Fig. -Comparative sizes of the Sun as seen from the Earth. Jupi
 ter and Neptune.


 The planet Neptune Is in the con stellation c. mini directly below the bright star l. Fig. 1. and east of the pair of stars at R. To enable the pos sessor of a. small telescope to find this little body the portion of the sky below E is shown enlarged in Fig 2 The planet will be seen as faint greenish, ,sth magnitude star a littie to the west of the yellowish star K. Neptune Is a great world, 36,000 miles in diameter, moving slowly, and ma jestically about the sun at the incon- ceivably great distance of 2,S30 mill Hons of miles. Viewed from this enor- nous distance Mercury. Venus, he Earth and Mars would be so close to our sun as to remain forever invisible, while the sun itself would look like a point of light and could only be discovered to have a disc with the aid of a telescope. Like Jupiter and Saturn. Neptune is exceedingly light a cubic foot of Neptune weighing but one-fffth, as much as a cubic foot of the earth, from which 1t Is supposed that the planet Is stiil intensely hot and in a gaseous or .vaporized state. It will be remembered that Neptune was dicovered by its pull on the planet Uranus, and that it's size and position In the sky were known with perfect accuracy. before 1t had even been dis covered with the telescope. There is some evidence that the motion of Nep- tune is being similarly disturbed by still more distant planet. but Nep- tune moves so very slowly, its year being 164 of our years long. that this question cannot be thoroughly investi- gated for some time to come. If an- other body Is there, there Is not the slightest doubt that it will some day be discovered nlathematically, just as Neptune has been, unless, indeed. It Is accidentally picked up with the telescope. For this far distant world, whose journey around the sun may oc- cuply centuries, the appropriate name Chronos 4or the Timekeeper has been suggested os
 The stars marked D, in Fig. 2, are beautiful double stars; the one marked is a. triple. and also varies in bright ness about one whole magnitude every ten days. G
 The planet Jupiter is still in Taurus, between the Hyades and the Pleiades. Its westward motion among the stars will cease the 24th of the month and 1t will begin to. move slowly east wasd again This planet Is now the most interesting object in the sky to the owner of a. small telescope. The rose tinted bands lying nearly parallel to the equator and the great variety of irregular markings are plainly visi- bio and will be seen rapidly shifting their positions as the planet turns on it's axis. Near the planet there will be detectedi four little points of light which are the four brighest moons of Jupiter, andi these, too, will be seen constantly altering their positions as the hours go by. The swiftly turning planet with it's. retinhe Of satellites is one of the most beautiful and inter- esting of all the objects in the heav ems. .@2s@
 The moons of Jupiter frequently pass behind the planet and disappear from view. Since Jupiter shines merely by reflected sunlight just as our moon

To the east of Taurus Is the beautiful mid-winter group, Gemini or the Twins; still further east the bright group Leo or the Sickle may be seen now entering the early evening sky for the first time this winter, while between Gemini and Leo lies the strange. faint, little constellation Cancer, the falntest of all the groups of the Zodiac, through which the Chaldeans supposed that the souls of men descended from heaven Into human bodies. Southe st of Orion is the Greater Dog star Sirius, star which appears to us to be the most brilliant of all the stars of the sky, although actually 1t is not remarkably bright. Its great brilliance is caused partly by its comparative nearness to us. only two or three others having. 50 far as is yet known. a smaller dis- tance. The star is about three times

Just below Orion may be traced out the two delicate, little known, constel- lations of Lepus or the Hare, and Co., lumbia or the Dove. The first of these Is supposed to be fleeing from the hum ter directly above, while the second Is the dove set free by Noah. the ark be- ing the small group of stars in the Milky Way to the east of Canis Major.
