Tha Pole Star.

Ursa Major and Ursa Minor are

Greater Vain and the Lesser Vain. Ii
Is curious to note that the larger con-
stellation was given the figure of the
bear by the Arabs and by the lroquois
red men. The assumed forms are or
dinarily fanciful. and the identity Of
the names In this instance affords food
for speculation Homer uses both bear
and vain (wagon) In his references to
these stars. 1t is evident that the
name bear was a translation from
some original Aryan language, as the
constellation Is called In Sanskrit

ders means both a bear and a star. OF
course the polar star in the tail of Ursa
Minor is the consultations point Of
glory In this case we may say fairly
that the tail wags the dog, because the
group of stars was once called the
