The most interesting ~astrono-
mical event of this month is the
appearance Of Mercury in the even
ing sky. From the 10th to the 25th
it will be cen in the west near the
sunset pnint just after the sun

The moon reached its first quar-

The sun is now well etarted on
its northward journey. 1t advances
this month from II degrees south
of the equator to 8 degrees south.
The days are rapidly increasing in
length, the gain during February
being q hour and seven minutes.
In spite of the fact that this is the
shortest month of the year, there
are more hours of daylight than in
November or December or January.
On the LIST the forenoon and
afternoon were each five hours i
length and to the end Of the month
the forenoon is only one minute
longer than the afternoon. so that
these two divisions of the day are
more nearly equal in February than
in any other month Of the year.
