Whoever looks at the heavns on one of the warm evenings of July will see the numerous summer consultations spread out before him in all their beauty. If he possesses small telescope he will
 find hundreds of interesting objects as he explores one region of the sky after an- other. He may first be attracted by the wonderful star clouds and clusters of stars which he discovers In great num- bers along the milky way, great swarms of suns whose stupendous extent baffles imagination. Next he may become inter- ested in the many double stars he will
 find. those strange systems of two or more great suns revolving ceaselessly aoround one another The study of how the distortions which these plastic masses produce in one another slowly change their paths as the ages go on, announc- ing to us unmistakably how far they have progressed in their development

Tennessean Takes Treatment for Drug Habit
MISSISSIPIAN CURED OF
 WHISKY AND CIGARETTES
Both Parties Recommend the Treat ! ment to Others

Charles B. James, care James Sana- torium Co.,, Memphis, Tenn: Dear Sir I have no objection to your publishing anything I say in regard to myself and your treatment, for am not ashamed of taking the treatment. All l hate is that I waited as long as I did. If there is anything I can say or do to help anyone to be free from whisky or cigarettes, I am only too willing to do 1t. Many won't take treatment, thinking 1t disgrace! l consider It isn't as much a disgrace to go and get cured of the habit and go through life with a clear mind as getting drunk and down in the ditch. I have never re- gretted the time and money l spent at your Sanatorium. A great many don't take treatment because they see some take treatment and go back to drink ing. Those who do this don't want to quit. They only take treatment to get the poison out of their system, so they can keep on drinking. I felt when I left your Sanatorum if I was to drink l would be disgraced, and still feel that way There Is no reason for man go- ing back to drinking after taking your treatment. He can do so if he wills, but there is no excuse for it. Wishing you success, I am yours very truly,

 The deep blush stars are believed to be in a very much expanded, almost nebulous, condition. while the red ones are far more condensed and surrounded by heavy cloud of vapor.

 But even If the observer has no tel escope there is very much to interest him in the heavens. Due south he will at once notice the Scorpion, whose principal star, Antares, even to the naked eye. is seen to be mucl, redder than the blue star Vega above it. And between these he cannot fail to notice the wonderfully complicated structure. of the milky way, how the innumerable suns of which it Is composed are here gathered into great clouds and streams by forces of whose nature we have no conception.
 Above Vega there shines out the beau. tiful Northern Cross with its striking uOuDie dI A, rlBuTe l, Wuiic Tar III tilc north the yellow star Capella is seen just ready to set. and which very short time after setting is seen to rise again, being so near the pole of the heavens that 1t just misses being included among those stars which never rise and never set.

 Mars, on account of it's rapid eastward motion, is still to be seen low down in the northwest, but 1t is now much too far away from the earth to be satisfactory object in a small telescope. Throughout the month 1t will rapidly approach the bright star Regulus, at F, figure 1. It will finally pass the star on August B. on which date the planet will be north of the star, distance almost equal to the diam eter of the moon. At this time the two objects will appear as striking pair Of bright stars in the western sky. Jupiter, now the brightest object In the heavens. still shines out high up from the ground In the southwest. It's slow eastward mo- ton among the stars can now be easily detected, for, while on July 1 1t will be seen to be about half way between the stars G and H, figure 1, on July S1 it will pass directly below the interesting double star at G, a motion Just rapid enough to
