liant winter groups of Orion, the
Twins and the Bull are shining high
above them. The Greater Dog Star,
Sirius, winter star and the brightest
enters our sky just as the bright
summer star. Vega, is leaving it.
This month for few weeks we may
see both of these stars in the evening
heavens together.
The Lesser Dog Star, Procyon. is
farther away from us than Sirius, and
nearly twice as large; the light of
Sirius occupies sixteen years in MAX
ing its long journey to US. while
that with which we view Procyon left
the surface of that. distant sun no
less than twentysix years ago. Each
of the Dog Stars is attended by
darker sun, which revolveS around 1t.
From the study of the motions OF
times as large and forty times brighter
than our own sun. while Procyon is
nearly twice AS large as Sirius.
When we remember that our earth
is only one -millionth part as large
our sun, we realize that the stupendous
size of these wonderful systems is
truly inconceivable. 1t should be add
ed that both the darker attendants to
the Dog Stars were discovered from a
mathematical discussion of the posi-
tions Of their primaries many years be-
fore they were ever seen in any tele-
scope.

North of Procyon and below the
twins there may now be seen the
most interesting constellation of the
Crab. This is the faintest of all the
consultations of the zodiac, so that
to the astrologers it was known as
the Dark Sign, and it's influence was
considered particularly unfortunate
To the Chaldeans it was known as
the Gate of Men-the region of the
stars through which when men were
born their souls descended in their
passage from heaven to the earth
It's most interesting object in small
telescope is the striking cluster of
stars at A, figures l and 2, which
appears to the eye as a faint cloud OF
light, but in a very small telescope is
readily seen to be composed of about
$50 stars crowded closely together.
The very slowly moving. far-dis-
tant planet Neptune is now just en-
tering the borders of Cancer and has
therefore again been brought into
our evening sky. AS this outermost
known member of our suns family
of worlds occupies 165 of our years in
passing around the heavens, its
motion among the stars is very slow.
AS will be seen from figure 2, it has
during the past three years moved
but a short distance toward the bor
der of Gemini Neptune is too faint
to be seen with the naked eye In

the seas and lands of this tropic world

Though the presence of the beau
tiful Venus leads us to turn first to
the western heavens, there is much
in the opposite part of the sky TO
attract our attention. Here, for the
first time since last winter, We see
the bright Dog Stars just emerging

The Beautiful Vistas.

THERE is no end to the vistas on
: which Washingtonians may gloat.
but there are some which many Wash
ington people never see. Go out 4th
street and cross Bryant where 4th has
been cut through the grounds of Howard
University to the south edge of Mcmillan
reservoir. Near the head of the street
turn to the left along a dirt road or a
cement pavement under naples some OF
which are autumn tinted and others wind
shorn. Face to the east. At your back
will be one of the long dormitory build
ings Of the university. To the right you
will look down on Freedmen's Hospital
and through the foliage will see the
familiar dome and spires of the city.
To the left the reservoir, irregular and
graceful in outline, lies below YOU ON
a calm day it is so placid that 1t reflects
sky and cloud and at night stars seem
to twinkle in the water.
across the water are the towers and
stacks and various structures, already
being overgrown with vines, of the fltra-
ton works Beyond these things which
tell a strong story of human progress
rises one of the gray-stone. red-roofed
buildings of the Catholic University and
further to the left are the big buildings
of the Soldiers Home set behind heavy
woodland.
The picture is not the most extensive
in the Districr, but it is prospect bring
in into view a number of big things for
the betterment of the human family.

The "Three Twins

Brimful of charming novelties IN
scenic effect, possessed of much mel
ody, charmingly costumed and with a
splendid singing chorus, "Three
Twins" is to be presented at the opera
house, Friday, February 2, for an en-
gagement of one night It is funny,
very bright and cleverly constructed.
The comedy is snappy and lively and
is splendidly done, Harrison Garrett
having the burden of the piece on his
shoulders and carrying it admirably.
He is a natural comedian and he
works easily and gracefully. The plot
of the piece is ludicrous and deals
with the theme of mi"+aken identity
through similarity in looks. It ma
turally permits of end7ecS o3n0rt nifty
for confusing and amusino connlic2-
tons and they are entertainingly
worked up.
Miss Frederica Going in her Wanna
Yama song is assisted hv q '"rge
chorus, whose good looks and shapeli-
ness have gained for them the dis
tinction of being the premier chorus
of the season: The satires on TIE fu-
ture of women's hats are very anus
ing and along with these distinct nov
elites and many others, there is some
real pretty music which IS unusually
well sung. The whole piece possesses
charm and merit in every instant of
it. Bright, new and fresh in every de-
tail, it is a welcomed relief from the
stereotyped musical comedy that is so
often foisted on the dear public.
