Great Nebulas of Andromeda and Orion.
 When the spectroscope was applied to astronomy about 50 years ago, 1t at once became evident that one great class ot nebulas are in a very different condition from that of the stars, and that their light comes from the glowing of very rare and expanding gases. These are the gI Ieenish. bright line nebulas, so called. because the spectrum of their light is little color strip crossed by bright lines. The position of these bright lines shows thet the light from these nebulas comes from glowing hydrogen and helium gases, and from a gas so far not found on the earth that has been named Nebulium. It may be that a large part of these neo- uas is made up of solid particles, and that they glow because of continual cleo trical discharges between these moving particles through the enveloping gases, but of the exact source of their llght we are as yet in ignorance.
 But none of the white Nebuas give thls bright line spectrum. About these the spectroseope tells us almost nothing; theY may be distant galaXies, or their shining part may be composed of gases under a high pressure or they may even be formed Of solid or liauid material heated to in- candeseence While the form and appar- ent structure of the majority Of these render it almost certain that they are true nebulas-m swarms slowly condens- ing into systems of suns and worlds-lt Is by no means impossible that some of the faintest of them may be true stellar ga laxies. It has been estimated that If this is so their distance away from us is no less than 100000 light years, that is. that the light with which we may view them tonight started on it's journey toward us no less than 100000 years ago.

east the great Water Snake has dragged one-third of it's length into our evening sky, while in the northeast the Great Dipper is seen steadily pursuing it's up- ward Journey, but which will not reach it's highest point in the early evening heavens until next April. Very many double stars, star clouds, and Clusters may be found throughout this region, while an exploration of the entire winter arch Of. the Milky Way will be found of the highest interest.
 - The Planets
 Mercury, which reached its greatest dis tance west of the sun on January b, and Which for several days before and after that time shone out in the early morning sky, has not drawn so far eastward that it is lost in the suns rays and cannot be seen during this month. It will enter the evening sky on March 2 hut swlll not reach its greatest distance east or the sun until March 27.
 Vehus is similarly drawing nearer the sun but it may be seen shining brightly in the southeast for d short time before sunrise. on February 1 it rises two and one-half hours before the sun. but this time is diminished to a little less than two hours by the end of the month. On the morning of February 24 Venus Will pass exactly g minutes below the -falnt and distant Uranus. so that possessors of small telescopes may then see the two worlds in the field of view at the same time.

except in the largest telescopes, seems only faint and misty little cloud. This was first discovered 1S0 years ago, and was rediscovered 30 years later by the astronomer Messier when observing a comet which happened to be near this star It s interesting to notice also that Halleys comet was first seen close to this star upon it's return in 1885.
 At the point K, almost in the middle of the triangle formed by the stars A, C and L. is a remarkable little star cloud nearly as broad as the moon, but whose stars are all very faint. Brighter more condensed, but no less interesting clusters may be found at NJ and N, while at the point z, about one-third of the way from the Dog Star to the beautiful double at s, is the finest cluster of all, whose stars are arranged in curving streams about Q denser center.
 This is the best month of the year to trace out the faint groups, Lepus and Columba. which, lying far below Orion, are never high above the ground. The first constellation, known to us as the Hare, was to the Arabians the Chair of the Giant, and otherwise it's four bright est stars were known as the four Thirsty Cemels on their way to the Celestial

The most brilliant part of the sky now lies exactly in the south in the early evening. There. high in the heavens, stands the Warrior, the magnificent Orion, with the beautiful Twins and the bright, yellow Capella above him, the very brilliant Dog stars on the left, and, on the right, the wonderful group of the Bull. whose horns stretch -out to the white stars. A and B, Flgune l, whose shoulders contain the Pleiades and whose eye is marked by the reddish star-at C.
 This is the beautiful mid winter sky. But already it's foremost group is be- ginning to swing toward, the sun in, the west and by the end of the month Taurus will have reached a position half way between the zenith and the ground and Virgo, the first of the faint summer groups. will be seen appearing in the east.
 Stars and Nebulas
 To one who possesses a small tele- scope this part of the sky will be found full of objects of great beauty and fin- terest. Probably every such reader is already familiar with the beautiful Plei- ades at~P, the wonderful cluster at E, the Great Nebua at F, and the, wide double star at D. the last making triple group with the bright Aldebaran at 4. But beside these there are very many objects which, though fainter and more difficult to see, are even more interest ing than some of those which are better known.
 At H, one-sixth of the way from A to B, there is the celebrated Crab Nebnla, which

Marvellous Speed of Rumor
T, +be London Chronicle.

From the London CnfoIlcle.
 The phenomena of Rumor-its mys- terious origin and marvellous spread so impressed the ancient Greeks that they made of it a deity Phoeme, to whom altars were raised. This deity however was not so completely personi- fled as the later Roman Fama, but con- sidered rather as a divine voice-the Vox Del, as Grote puts it, passing into the Nox Populi, The classic case is the news of the Greek victory over the Persians at Plataea, in Boeotia, which Phoeme was said to have communi- cated 10 the Greeks as they went into action at Mycale on the other side of the Aegean, a few hours later, although there was no telegraph in B. C. 47e. Grote compares Michelets account of the storming of the Bastille. which more than once emphasizes the fact that nobody proposed it; the whole populace seemed simultaneously inspired.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-01-28

and along it's sides it is very faint, and it is not often that any part of it is so bright as the Milky Way.
 As the hours of the evening go on the light will be seen to be slowly setting, but if it is watched for several days or weeks it will be seen to be moving east ward just as fast as the sun seems to move, the brightest part of the light be- ing always nearest the sun. It is, there fore, known that this strange light is caused by the reflection of sunlight from countless millions of little particles, which together form a great, lens shaped swan whose center4 is at the sun, and which stretches beyond the orbit of the earth. srSut it is very puzzling fact that the light of the swarm sometimes varies in an unaccountahle manner. Though usually fainter than the Milky Way, it has some times been seen brighter, while at still other times waves of light have seemed to pass along it much like the fluctuations seen in our. Northern Lights. It Is thought propably that these variations are caused by electrical storms in the sun, but they have not as yet been co-ordi- hated with unusual solar disturbances, and much remains yet to be learned be- fore, our knowledge of this object may be said to be complete. It may be men toned that when the great comet of 1Si3 was passing nearest the sun, the zodiacal light shone with such unusual brightness that by some it was mistaken for the comet itself.
 Are Any of the Nebulas Distant
 Universes of Stars?
 In some of the astronomical journals the question is being reopened whether some of the nebulas of the sky may not be whole universes of bright stars, some what the like visible universe of which our sun is an insignificant member. but which are almost infinitely remote. It will be remembered that this was the view held by all astronomers a century ago and that Herschel strongly hoped that when his great refiectng telescope should be completed il would be sufficiently pow erful to show separately the stars of the

 Mars and Saturn remain in the evening sky in excellent position for observation throughout the month. The very rapid eastward motion of the Red planet has now well begla. During the month it will move from the neighborhood of the Pleades entirely to the east of the Fly ades, and reach a position half way be- tween the latter group, and the horns of Che Bull.

 The dragons colors were never twice alike. and by that the creature got on Georges nerves in particular manner.
 At length George fell to thinking, and the very next time he was asked what he would have he replied:

 Moreover, he stuck to it.

 But posterity spoke to him without irony, remembering only that he had, by the exercise of superb courage, slain the dragon.
