DR.. Cole in astronomy is antici-
pating great things with the hand
some 5000 telescope recently re-
ceived from Paris. This is the poor
est time of the year for astronomi-
cal work on account of the haze and
the cold; yet some of the students
have been using the telescope with
great profit. Venus Is now the ev-
ening star. At about Z o'clock in
the evening Mars and Saturn are on
ly a few degrees apart in the south
western sky. Mars shows one of its
phases and Saturn presents the edge
of its rings to the earth. In the
east, slightly north of east, Jupiter,
the brilliant, is to be seen. With our
telescope the belts in the temperate
regions of Jupiter are easily seen.
Giant Sirius is in the southeast; ORR
on is higher up; while the various
colored stars, single, double. triple
and quadruple, are almost without
number at this time of the year. The
moon is. of course, at all times a
perfect mine of wonders. The tele-
scope has magnificent definition
/ and the astronomy class will make
| great use of it in the spring.
