A Case Of Luck.

the subway station he produced two

STAR GAZING.
The Study of the Consultations as .
Pastime.

The Study Of the Consultations as .
Pastime.
Probably every reader has often ad-
mired the beauty Of starlight night.
A little careful observation on such q
night will show that the brighter stars
may be divided into groups or ''constel-
lations," as the astronomers call them.
most of which are known by the
names Of animals or legendary per-
sons, such for example as 1.-The Great
Bear" 1.-The Swan" Hercules" An
dromeda." etc. The easiest method OF
learning these consultations is from
some one already acquainted with
them. but if the beginner is not fortu-
nate enough to know any such person
the majority can be learned from any
cheap star maps such as are sometimes
contained in almanacs.
Now, If the budding astronomer will
notice the position of any Of these
groups or CONSULTATIONS at particu.
lar hour of any night and then look q
few hours afterward he will see that
during the interval the stars which ap.
peared low down in the east have risen
to the south in a somewhat similar
manner to the apparent motion of the
sun and moon. while closer attention
on several evenings will show a circu.
lar or rotary movement around the
north pole of the heavens. the motion
being the opposite way to the hands OF
q clock.
Near the north pole is bright star
called the 'Pole STAR" This star is
easily found when the observer has
once noted the seven bright stars OF
the 'Great Bear" the two outer stars
of the four forming the square
known as the pointers" point almost
directly to the Pole star. This males
tic movement OF the stars around the
pole of the heavens is most sublime
and wonderful sight,-Country Side.
