The most attractive part of the heavens is undoubtedly that which is now seen in the east in the early evening. Here there has again appeared the beautiful and in- teresting group of stars known as the Bull the first of the train of winter con- stellations whose coming tells us of the ending of another summer The beauti- ful little Pleiades, whose appearance in the early evening was used by many na- tions to mark the beginning of a new year, have now risen nearly half way to the zenith. while below them the larger and brighter group of the Hyades shines out high up from the ground. The brightest star of the Hyades is the red Aldebaran, or Follower, which represents the eye of the Bull, and at the present time it hapens that the even more deep ly red and brighter Mars is passing above this star, so that the two reddish objects may be seen shining near one another.
 Higher in the sky and somewhat far ther toward the south than Mars there is the wonderful Ringed Planet, Saturn
 while due south is seen the reddish Royal Star. Fomalhaut, the most southerly bright star which is visable from our

It's wonderful summer branch will, however, remain with us throughout the month, along which, from Aurga in the north to Sagittarus in the south, there is a succession of most beau tiful and interesting star groups
 The Motions of Mars and Saturn
 Those readers who watched the most interesting conjunction of Mars and Sa- turn on last August 16 have doubtless noticed how rapidly these two brilliant plantes have been separating ever since and how far apart they are now. If they continue to watch them they will see the Red Planet turn and begin to run toward Saturn again, so that by the end of the year the two bodies will be hardly one- third so far apart as at present. Before Mars reaches the more distant planet however, 1t will again turn and run eastward much more rapidly than before,

eclipse will end at minutes 42 seconds after o'clock on the morning of Ocfo- Der p, the very last trace of it being seen from a point about 300 miles northeast from Australia.
 During the eclipse of last April 2S the shadow of the moon swept over this same region of the earth from Australia almost to Central America. This was a total eclipse of which, when the sun was en- tirely hidden, some very fine photographs were obtained by an expedition sent foi that purpose to the Tonga is lands
 The Planets in October
 Venus, which shone so brilliantly in the west throughout the summer and autumn and which finally left the evening sky un September 15 is now running rapidly out from before the sun, and may be seen shining as a most brilliant star almost ex- actly due east for a short while before sunrise It Is by far the most conspiea- ous object in this part of the sky, reach- ing it's greatest brightness on October 22. In the telescope it has the form of very narrow crescent.

better position for observation, its dls- tance from the earth decreasing from 61, ,OOo0O0 to 50,000,000 of miles during the month and it's apparent size increasing more than one-fourth. With it's definite markings and it's polar caps, it is a most interesting object in moderately large telescope.
 The planet Saturn, which is now high up in the eastern heavens, Is an even more interesting object for observation than Mars to one who possesses only a small telescope. Although the balls of the two planets now appear of almost eX- actly the same size, the rings of the former are so well wdened out tfat they, as well as its brighter moons, can be very easily seen. During this month the earth is so far below the plane of the rings that they appear wider to US than at any other time during this year. Jupiter may still be seen very low in the southwest for about an hour after sunset, but it is now in far too unfavor- able position for satisfactory observation. It will finally leave the evening sky and become a morning star on November IS. Uranus, which is moving very slowly eastward in it's S4 year journey around the sky will be found in the Constellation Sagittarius in the position shown in Fig ure 1.

 Comet Brooks
 This comet which when discovered was very faint and which it was believed would very probably never become visi- ble to the eye increased most remarka@ bly, and unexpectedly in brightness dur ing the latter part of September, and is now a most conspicuous and interesting object. On October it may be found i'll the northwest in the early evening. almost exactly midway between the Northern Crown and the two east stars of the bowl of the Dipper To the naked eye it ap- pears as a bright, but hay star, while in a pair of opera glasses it is readily seen to be an immense luminous cloud, with a short tail extending in d north easterly direction. By photography the tail can be traced to a great distance, and the comet is then seen to have almost the normal form.
 This beautiful object will continue to grow brighter until october r. when it will be twice as bright as it was toward the end of September. It will then prob ably attract the attention of nearly every one, and its tail will probably be easily visible to the eye. On this date it will be seen immersed in the beautiful group
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-10-08

of faint stars known as Coma Berenlces, or the Maiden's Hair, below the bright star Areturus, and just above the ground in the northwest at ' o'clock in the even- ing. It's very rapid motion carries II southward among the stars, until, on Oc- tober 31, 1t crosses the equator just above the bright star Spca. For about ten min utes before this date it will have moved so nearly into the daylight sky that al- though it may be detected very low in the northwest just after sunset, it can only be seen with difficulty. After this month it will remain in the southern sky and so be entirely invisible to us.
 The most careful computations show that this comet is merely visitor to our system. We have never seen it before, and after it has swung around our sun and receded into the depths of space il will never be seen by us again.

treme western part. Both of these are eclipses Of the sun; the first occurred on April g, and the second will occur on October H. Next year we will be more favored. for during 1912, there will be no less than four eclipses, two of the sun and two of the moon. three Of which VIII be visible throughout part of the United States.

and they will continue to separate so rapidly that they will soon be found in quite different regions of the sky. By next October, one year from now, they will be at almost exactly opposite points of the Celestial Sphere.
 The apparent paths of the two bodies are shown in Figure ?. Mars will move slowly eastward until October +, then run westward until December 29, and from this time will journey eastward with great rapidity. Meanwhile, Saturn will move very slowly westward until January IS. after which date it will move slowly toward the east. Not until April 13 will it reach the point fin Aries which it oc- cupies now.
 The Eclipse of October 21-22 The present year has been nearly d barren one so far as eclipses are con cerned, for there occur but two. which is the least number possible in any one year. and neither of these are visible i from the United States, except in the eX-

 The eastern edge of the moon will be first seen to touch the edge of the sun at 19 minutes 20 seconds after o'clock in the evening of October 21. At this time the sun will have long since set to obs servers in the eastern part of the United States. and. in fact. the eclipse will be wholly invisible to all dwellers in Ameri- ca. The persons on the world who will be the first to see the eclipse begin will be those living short distance to the west of the Point A. Figure 3.

New York, October 7.-When P. A. Carvin reached his home on the top floor of an uptown apartment late last night. he found the door locked.
 Unwilling to disturb his wife or her 5-days-old baby, Carvill tried to reach the fire escape and enter his flat by a window. Going to the roof, he started. to lower himself over the cornfce. He slipped and fell six stories. being instantly killed.

At present the most interesting ques- tion in connection with this world, so like our own, is that of the length of it's day. As the planet is ever covered with a dense blanket of clouds so that no mark ings can be seen upon it's surface, the matter must be studied with the spectro- scope, an instrument with which we. can measure how rapidly any point on the turning world is approaching or drawing away from us. Eleven years ago careful measures were thought to show that this turning was quite rapid, the day on our Sister World being about as long as the day with us. Others measures apparently equally good, made three years later. in dicated that the planet turned over slow ly-so slowly that it's day was just as long as its year-so that on one-half of the planet there was perpetual day and on the other half intending night. Most recent carefully made observations just concluded, however, confirm the earlier conclusion leading to a time of rotation
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-10-08

only about 10 hours longer than our own The latter Is of the highest interest and importance in connection with the uues- ton of the possibility of the existence of any such life as we know upon our near est neighbor among the planets. Unfor- tunately the observation is very iiffi- cult one, and we cannot even yet regard the latest results as conclusive. At pres ent, however. the balance of evidence seems to He in favor of the shorter time of rotation.

First Story.Contest Issue.

"Tbe Passion on the Peak" by Herman
Scheffauer, is the name and author or the
first entry in our Sunday Magazine prize
contest, which appears in our next issue
II is in every way worthy of inclusion
among the distinguished list OF stories
that will be printed during the coming
wear i'm this memorable competitions; in
deed one of the editors believes that II
is promising candidate for high honors.
Mr. Scheffauer has chosen three set
tngs for his tale-opening In San Fran
cisco. where he lived for many years;
then in the art circles in Paris. which he
freauented for time: and finally in the
majeAtic mountains of Switzerland. which
he has climbed and enthused overland
through it all is the spirit or OLD Tamal-

from the California metropolis. where
the hero and heroine were wont TO go.
and which gave birth to their love Tor

between love and art, maid and
worldly ambition, heart passion and fame,
and at first art and ambition and fame
won leaving behind the stricken woman
waiting for the fulfillment of the promised
union as soon as fame was earned. But.
as before, love waned with the continued
senaration And with it. %aned the fame;
for this was based on the spirit of love
and romantic Tamalpais.
Finally n commission in Switzerland
promised to revive the wonderful skill
that had made the standing of the now
matured painter among the critics of
Paris-and he found there The Passion

MFR. Scheffauer has shown I'm this tale
that he possesses the imagination and
ability and grace of a master fictionist.
1t is by all odds the best story OF his we
have ever read. and was not at all mis-
placed when chosen to lead in this prize
contest.
