STATE LOTTERIES.
They Were Once Very Common and
Varv popuIar in Eurona

They Were Once Very Common and
Very Popular in Europe.
Lotteries were common In ancient
Rome, and during the middle ages lot
teries were utilized by the Italian mer.
chants for the disposal of their goods.
Some Of the Italian states then adopted
the lottery as a means Of raising reve-
nue., and the institution of state iotter-
les afterward became very common
and very popular throughout Europe.
The earliest English state lottery of
which there is any record was in 1869,
when 10000 chances were sold at 10
shillings each. the drawing taking place
in the west door OF St Paul's cathe-
dral.
The prizes consisted OF articles of
plate, aud the profits were employed
for the repair Of certain harbors. Early

sances," but government lotteries, how.
ever. were still maintained, and from
1909 TO 1924 considerable sums were
raised In lotteries authorized
by acts Of parliament
The average yearly profit to the gov
ernment from 1893 to 1924 was over
f340,000. On the ground of injury to
public morals lotteries of all kinds
were abolished In England in 1896

planet Mercury will pass to the east Of the sun and become an evening star. If we could see both bodies at once at that time We would see the little world moving steadily along in its orbit and passing below the sun from the right to
 the left side of it at distance away from the lowest point of the suns disc about equal to the diameter of the disc itself. On the evening of March 27 the
 planet will reach its greatest distance east of the sun, and may be seen shin ing out in the twilight glow, very
 near the ground, little south of the west point, for nearly an hour after sunset.

 Mars and Saturn still shine brightly
 in the evening sky toward the west. The former planet, in it's eastward mo- tion, will, during the month, pass al most wholly out of Taurus and into almost the exact center of the Milky Way.

With the arrival of this, our first spring month, the eastern sky already begins to be dominated by the faint conscientious of summer. We already see the advancing portion of the long, faint summer zone, which is occupied by the very large and interesting group of the Virgin, while above this there shines out the great, reddish Arcturus, a sun thousands of times brighter and hotter than our own. If we had no cal endars, the first entrance of these stars into the evening sky would tell us that the end of winter is at hand. The ob- server of the heavens would read this welcome news no less clearly when he observed that the winter branch of the Milky Way, which for so many months has passed through the highest point of the sky, has now begun to perceptibly sink toward the ground although 1t will not entirely disappear until the end of April nor will the summer branch rise sufficiently high to be noticeable in the early evening until June.
 All of these changes are, of course caused by the apparent motion of our sun, which appears to us to move for ever around the sky along the path AB

 The March Stars
 No one who goes out of doors on one of the clear moon1ess nights which will occur during the first half of this month, and who stands under the won derful heavens, can fail to be struck by. the remarkable brilliance of the whole western sky. Here are all of the winter consultations together-the blue Dog stars in the south, the magnifi- cent Orion, the Bull and the Twins to- ward the west, and northward from these he will see the golden Capella, with the interesting groups of Per- seus, Andromeda and the bright Cas- sippeia below. With an opera glass he can examine the beautiful double clus- ter of stars at D. figure 1: the wonder full nebulas at F. and F, and through out the whole region an exploration will be rewarded by the discovery of many star clouds and star clusters immersed in the Milky Way, and by many double stars, some showing an interesting con trast in color.
 The observer who is already familiar with the bright and well known stars may prefer to study the four faint and delicate little groups which border the Great Bear on the south. The first of these Is the Lynx, or Tiger, which is re-

Above this. in the hollow of the Dipper, are the Hunting Dogs, whom Bootes leads in his leash of sidereal fire. The po- sitions of the wonderful spiral nebulas and of striking double stars to be found in this region are shown at the points marked H and K. respectively in fig ure 2.
 The bright star at l., figure 1, whose light is periodically hidden from us by the passage of a darker companion, will be seen at its faintest on March 6. at 10 hours 54 minutes p. m; on March g. at hours 43 minutes. and on March 12. at hours 32 minutes. As the eclipse progresses slowly the light oc- cupies about four hours in fading away. so that the star will first be seen to be growing dim about four hours before the above times, while the full bright ness will not be reached until about three and one-half hours after them.
