II the cause of the Zodiacal Light Is

a faint little patch of light, which
may always be seen In the sky on a

During this month 1t Will move along
the ecliptic from the consultations Leo

it changes its form from month to
month. In January it is small and
elongated. in February and March very
large and round etc. while in June
and December it has reached the MILKY
Way and is rendered invisible by tho
brightness of the stars which sur
round It. Some have thought its
source is to be looked for in the shin
ing OF rlelionss of little bodies re
fvoivtng about the sun outside the or,
bit Of Mars. each Of which shines jus
as a little full moon when opposite
the sun. Others believe it due tc
sunlight. which is bent downward a!
1t passes through the air about the
earth. and so lights up the fine me-
teoric dust with which space is sup
posed to be filed. while still others
believe It to be a regular tail OF the
