that 1t becomes one of the conspicuous
stars of the sky. Neither Of these stars at
tain their maximum brightness this month.
If the reader wishes to observe variable
star he may examine the star In Gemini
marked H, Fig. /. This will attain its max
imum brightness on December 70 at p. m.
and on December 30 at II pm; the interval
which eapses between the time OF greatest
and least brightness is five days. AS the
total change in this star Is only about one
magnitude its variation Is not very conspic-
uous, and can only be clearly detected by
comparing the star II with a nearby star.
very convenient star for this purpose Is
the star at K. At the times above given,
when the star n is at its brightest, 1t Is
slightly brighter than K, but at all other
times it Is quite perceptibly fainter.
The observation just described Is a DELI
cate one. 1t Is not probable that the slight
changes of this nature which occur In the
stars would ever attract the attention of
any except the most interested and careful
observers. But to one who has convinced
himself by observation that the brightness
Of some of the stars Is rapidly changing the
effect Is very striking.
Causes Of Variability.
What 1t is that causes these changes we
do not know. We know that the stars are
suns, and 1t is possible that the changes in
brightness may be due to the periodical re-
eurrence of spots on their surfaces similar
to the spots on our own sun. but on a much
more extensive scale. Or the enormous
gaseous globes may be subject to periodical
eruptions of material from their inconceiv-
ably hot interior. These eruptfons may be
caused by the presence of a second dark
body which revolves around the sun in a
narrow orbit and therefore periodically ap-
proaches near to and recedes from it. At
the time of its nearest approach its great
attraction or pull on the bright sun may
distort the latter and thus cause a briahant
eruption. But with those variable stars of
which the light Is suddenly cut off at regu-
lar intervals we know that the explanation
lies merely in the fact that they are at
tended by dark companion which at inter-

cluster known as the Beehive. When this
little patch of light is viewed with a small
telescope 1t is seen to be made up of up
ward of $50 stars crowded closely together
Variable Stars.
Below the brilliant Orion the observer
may trace out the faint, pretty little group
known as Lepus or the Hare. a name which
is peculiarly appropriate to this inconspic-
uous constellation. 1t will be noticed also
that the semi-nocturnal Lepus does not rise
until the Eagle, the bird which loves the
sun, is setting from which possibly arose
the NEUROLOGICAL belief of the enmtty OF
these two creatures. In a similar way just
as Lepus sets the group known as tue Crow
rises, and from this the ancient belief that
the Hare detested the voice OF the Raven
is believed to have been derived. So a.
The star at c is very pretty double even
in a small telescope, and In the same Held
with this there is a small sextup-e star
The star at d also has a faint companion
revolving around 1t, and this companion
shines with so steady and dull light that
il has been supposed by some astronomers
to be planet revolving around the centrai
sun at ID and shining with reflected light
At the point E. in the straight line joining
C. and r. there is a star OF deep crimson
color which is interesting not only because
it is one of the reddest stars in the sky,
hut also because it is continually varying
in brightness. When at it's brightest 1t

its faintest the whole time required Tor

and IL Is therefore In much less favorable
position for observing than 1t was a few
months ago. The rings OF Saturn are not
now very widely opened, for we are now
looking at them more nearly edgewise than
we did last autumn but the great greenish
ball with its system OF rings and numerous
satellites is always a most interesting OBJ
Ject
Except for the planet Saturn, the most
striking and interesting objects for obser-
walton are nearly all In the eastern part Of
the sky. First of all there is the magnih-
cent planet Jupiter, which is well up from
the ground In the northeast and which may
be instantly recognized, since at present 1t
IS very much brighter than any other heav-
emily object For six months 1t will con-
tinue to dominate the sky, but at no time
during this period will 1t be quite so bright
nor SO favorably situated for observation as
II is during this month.
Almost overhead Is the constellation Per-
seus, which contains beautiful double
cluster of stars shown at A Fig. 1, the two
groups together forming a fine object In q

THE SSENES WITH
ANIMALS. BY Ellen Velvin. F. z. $,
editor of THE Training of Wild AMI
mails" New York: Moffat. Yard a. Co.
Washington: Woodward & Lothrop.
Miss velvin has spent years in studying
wild animals in captivity. and this book
is an important contribution to natural his
tory in a most interesting department
ltnlh now sadly neglected. She was months
behind the scenes at celebrated animal
shows, and has devoted a considerable por-
ton of her life to observation In the great
geological gardens of Europe and America
The student will find this book singularly
fresh and informing in its treatment OF the
nature and habits of wild animals, and the
general reader, young or old, will find 1t
veritable mine of pleasure. Not only are
the facts and incidents always highly IN
teresting and often exciting, but the reveal
tons of animal character are at once mover
and fascinating. The reader feels that he
has never before thoroughly known AMI
mails.

the privilege to erect poles only while

that they had been promised free tele-
phone service for the fire, police
and school service, but it was not in the

these were promised in case the Borough
