now stretches the great Water-snake' bearing on his back the Cup and the unfortunate Crow. who, according to the legend. is doomed, though so near the Cup. to perpetual thirst, being prevented by Hydra from drinking from it. From this legend came the belief in early folk here that the crow alone among all the birds did not carry water to its young.
 Above Hydra may be seen the very large groups of Virgo, the Serpent Holder with the Sc~eent. Hercules and Bootes On one side of the last is the beautiful Northern Crown. or Odradne's Crown, and on the other the delicate little group known as -,ereniee's Hair. Both Of these consultations are filled with important and interesting Double-star system, many of which are visible in a small telescope. It was just south of the Star that in 1866 a remarkable new star appeared, which for eight days remained brighter than the Pearl of the Crown at A, then sank suddenly to the 10th magnitude, and gradually heightened to the eighth. It is still visible as a yellow, variable, eighth magnitude star.

One day hours after thiar time it flashes out in full brightness, being then of magnitude 3.5, the period being 5 days hours. Simi- larly, the star at N varies from the 45 to 35 ma gnitude, the interval from least to greatest brightness being three days 2 hours and the complete period 12 days 22 hours.

Looking backward, we see that the stars of the Dragon were formerly much nearer the Pole of the Heavens than at present. About 275O B. C. the star at K was much nearer the North Pole than our Polaris is now, and then the entire Dragon swung around thls central star as a pivot as the hours or the night went by. It was to thls star that the central passage Of the Great Pyramid was directed. In those days the North Pole was so much near CT Draco than now that the whole Southern Cross was visible in our lati- tudes.

trace out the long constellation Draco, which, as Vergil wrote,
 "Glides away with tortuous windings
 around and between the Bears
 As now known, the head of the Dragon is marked by the four bright stars at B, the body extending after various convo- lutions to the tip of the tail at C, but to the early Chaldeans 1t was even much longer, surrounding both of the bears and extending downward and in front of the larger of these It is a group of enormous antiquity, mentioned in the Book of Job as the Crooked Serpent, and known to the Babylonians as monster personifying primeval chaos, which was finally overcome by a great wind ariven with such force into his open jaws that it split him in two. In north temperate attitudes the constellation never sets: the Greeks therefore saw in it as an emblem oI eternal vigilance the Dragon which guaroed the Garden of the Hesperides.

he explains them. Mr. Wade is not only Englands foremost sculptor, but he is also a student of English affairs. He thus speaks not only from the standpoint of the artist but also from that of the student of social conditions, so that his impressions of America are particularly pertinent Mir Wade made what is, per haps, the greatest statue of Queen Vic toria and is the author of the great peace memorial in South Africa. He has also to his credit the first and other statues of King Edward, Queen Alexandra, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and many other notable persons, together with a large number of ideal and imagina- tive works. MT. Wade expects to return to America next fall to take up his work here.

 A western weekly prints the follow ing:
 "Paterfamilias asks: How can I get an article into your esteemed paper? It all depends on the article you want to get into our paper, Pater. If it is small in bulk, like hair-brush or u teacaddy, spread the paper out upon the floor and placing the article care fully in the center, neatly fold the edges over it and tie with string. This will keep the article from slipping out. If, on the other hand, the article is an English bathtub or clothes horse, you will find it more suited to one of the New York Sunday papers,"

THE HEAVENS IN MAY
BY PROF. DoOLlTTLE.

The brilliant Dog-star and the great winter groups of Taurus and Orion have HOW disappeared in the west, and the beautiful Lesser Dog-star and the bright group Gemmini are so closely following them that they, too. will only remain visible for another month. The sun in his slow eastward motion has drawn so near to the brilliant region of the sky that soon these stars will only be above the ground in the daytime and will, therefore be invisible to us The bright spring group Leo lies so far to the east that it is now high up in the heavens and will not entirely disappear until next August In early times the sun entered this constellation a month earlier than it does now, and therefore passed through it during the time=of great heat in sum mer. Then the lions of the desert sought the valley of the Nile to escape the great heat. and it is thought that from this the name of the constellation was derived
