cult for the reader to trace out all the consultations lying along the winter branch of the Milky Way. First, just above the ground in the south we see a few stars, which form the prov of the ship Argo, a great southern constellation, most of which never rises above the ground in our latitude. This figure con tains two remarkable stars, of which the first Is the second brightest of all stars in the sky and the second is wonderful variable, but neither of these objects can be seen by observers north of the thirty seventh parallel. Above Argo is the Lesser Dog, with the bright Procyon, or Lesser Dog star, at K, while the faint stars between this group and Argo form the Unicorn, the equator running length wise of the body of this animal, which stands with it's head toward Orion. Above the Lesser Dog come the Twins and the Wagoner and then the Champion er- seus, speeding to the rescue of Androm- eda near by, the last group noteworthy because of it's wonderful variable star at L and because 1t includes so many ob- jects of interest to the possessor of a small telescope.

The most notable change in the early evening sky is the appearance this month of the bright planet Jupiter, which shines out in the northeast with steady, vel Jewish radiance, almost in the exact cen for of the constellation Leo. This beauti- full star will remain the most conspicu- ous object in the evening sky all through the spring and summer months, not final ly sinking below the ground in the west until next September The brilliant planet Venus, which is now a morning star will begin to creep out from behind the sun in April and mount constantly higher in the western heavens as Jupiter declines, finally passing that body on the morning of August F. At that time the southwestern sky will be most peauti1nl, with inc two very brilliant planets only one-fifth of a degree apart, and the red planet Mars shining out further toward the east. As Jupiter leaves the evening

motion of the moon among the bright winter stars as the month goes by. At the beginning of the month the nearly full moon is just entering Gemini; on Feb ruary 7, at a. m., it passes just below the star at A. and the next morning at a. m, it passes below the star B. Ob- servers in the southern hemisphere will see the moon pass over both of these stars On February 1, at s a. m., the star at c will be occuted; but to observers In the eastern states the moon will then have set. By Fepruary 2, at 5 D. m., the moon will have reached the star at D. and by February 15, at 3:30 p. m., 1t will reach the summer branch of the Milky Way, and its edge will almost graze the planet Mars; observers near the equator will see the most interesting occultation of the planet. Unfortunately. by a. m at which time the planet rises to us. the two bodies will have drawn apart, but even at this time the contrast in color will be most striking The observer can also compare the planet with the red star Antares, or Rival of Mars, at A Fig. ?, while the planet is so faint as at pres ent the name of the star does not seem inappropriate. Finally the new crescent moon will pass over the star at M on February 23 at about p. m., the star as seen from Washington disappearing at A, Figure 8, and reappearing at B, 55 minutes later.
 The New Comet.
 The brilliant new comet has now passed from behind the sun, and will remain visible to observers In the south ern hemisphere until next autumn. The path pursued by this body Is an open parabolic curve shown at N. R, Figure {. When first discovered on September the comet was at D, and the earth at A, while the earth passed along the arc AB the comet was moving from D to B. and hence was seen to mount upward among the stars.

A Change for the Better.

From Success Magazine.
 The lifelong domicile of an old lady was situated several feet south of the dividing line of Virginia and North Car lima, and when that section of the coun- try was re-surveyed it was discovered that the line ran few feet south of the property in question. They broke the news to the old lady that from then on she was to be a resident of Virginia. That's good" she exclaimed; I've all ways heard that North Carlina was an unhealthy state to live in.'

 The Winter Stars.
 The brilliant stars of winter are still all with us, although the great groups of Taurus and Orion have passed their highest positions. and are beginning their descent toward the west. Overhead shines out the yellow Capela, the great sun so very like our own sun, and yet more than 200 times brighter, while in the south the bluish Sirius, the brightest star of all, has now reached it's highest posi- ton in the heavens. Connecting these bright stars is the beautiful. golden arch of the Milky Way which now passes directly overhead. extending from the southeast to the northwest, the whole forming indeed wonderfully beautiful spectacle, surpassed by no other region of the heavens.
