To an observer on Saturn, could an OBJ
server exist there. the rings would ap-
pear by far the most wonderful objects
in the sky. Were he on the equator
of the planet he would see them only as
bright, narrow line. spanning the heav-
ems from the east to the west, for there
he would view them exactly edgewise.
But were he to journey northward, he
would see them apparently widen until
they formed a most brilliant band across
the sky. The apex of this wonderful arch
would sink lower in the heavens as he
pressed on, until. when he reached a lat
itude of IS degrees north of Saturn's euua-
tor the uppermost edge of A would
sink below the south horizon and he would
lose sight of the rings altogether.
But this beautiful arch would only be
seen by him while the sun was shining
on the north side of the rings. During
one-half of the long Saturnian year, which
is nearly so times as long as ours, the
dark sides only of the myriad of parti-
cles would be turned toward him. The
rings would then be recognized merely
as an Opaque band, hiding from his view
a large part of the heavens. Indeed,
from the intensity of the shadow which
the rings are seen by us to cast upon the

greatest distance below the equator and
SO shines most directly on the rings of
the planet, which are therefore seen by
us brightly illuminated and widely opened
out.
Both the earth and the sun are now so
FAR below the plane of the rings that
these present the appearance shown in
Figure > As Saturn moves slowly east
ward along the path AVB, Figure ], it
Will also move southwark among the stars
and We will view the rings more and
more obliquely. BY the year 1922 the
planet will have moved down so far that
we will be looking at the rings exactly
edgewise and they will then present the
appearance shown in Figure 8. Finally.
by the year 1929 the ringed planet Will
have reached its lowest position among
the stars, below and to the right of the
point A, Figure l, and it will then rise
for toward the south and remain low in
the sky, even when crossing the meridian.
glass of two or three inches aper-
ture will show the rings clearly. but the
larger the telescope that can be used the
more perfectly is the beauty of this won
derful system brought out. In a moder-
ately large glass 1t is clearly seen that
the rings are made up of three, as lettered
In Figure 2; the wide ring, B, Is dis
tinctly the brightest and is separated
from A by distinct, wide. vacant space.
A similar, but much finer. line divides
the outer ring b into two parts. But
most interesting of all is the dusky ring,
C, which borders the inside of B and
through which the outline OF the ball
of the planet is clearly seen.
A most interesting observation was made
several years ago when Japetus. the
eighth satellite of Saturn. happened to
be eclipsed by this system. Neither Saturn
nor it's rings shine by their own light;
they look bright only because they are
illuminated by the light of the sun. and
therefore they cast shadow In space.
As the satellite entered the shadow of
the inner edge of the dusky ring it grew
steady fainter. until, when it entered
the shadow of the bright ring, B, it COM
pletely disappeared Evidently the ring
B is more opaque than either or A.
1t is now definitely known that the
rings are a great flattened swarm of
little particles each one of which revolves
around Saturn as a separate little moon.
Those on the inner edge of the dusky
ring make the circuit in hours and 80
of A on account of their greater dis
lance from the planet, require u hours
and minutes for a single revolution.
Thus the ring by no means turns as
solid mass around Saturn. and it can,
in fact. be shown mathematically that
1t would be impossible for 1t to do so.
No known substance could stand one
hundredth part of the strain to which
such solid, turning ring would be sub
jected without being torn in pieces. the

ball of the planet 1t seems probable that
they are sufficiently Opaque to obscure
the light of the sun itself. If this is So
then the imaginary inhabitant while in
certain ATTITUDES would be subjected to
a total eclipse of the sun. which would
continue without intermission for more
than five years.
Saturn has 10 satellites, of which the
positions of the inner Z, as seen in an
investing telescope, are shown In Figure
4. The largest one, Titan. is visible in
very small telescope: Japetus, Rhea and
Tethys require a somewhat larger glass,
while the two faintest ones recently dis
covered by photograph can only be seen
in the largest telescopes in existence. Dis
tinct shadings can now be seen on the
planet, but these are continually chang
ing their positions as this distant world
turns completely on its axis in the short
time Of only 9 hours and So minutes.

THE HEAVENS IN DECEMBER
BY PROFESSOR DOOLITTLE
OF the University of PENNSYLVANIA

December, the first of the winter
months. is signalized by the entrance of
the magnificent dog star. Sirius, into
the evening sky. This beautiful. blush
star, the brightest star of the entire heav-
ems, will be seen just emerging from
the ground in the southeast to remain
shining brightly in the southern sky
throughout the winter months, until it
finally withdraws toward the end of
March.
The wonderful apparent brightness of
this star Is largely due to its nearness to
us. for it is by no means the largest or
the brightest of the stars. 1t is, in fact,
but three times as massive as our own
sun, though it is 80 times as bright:
revolving around it in a period of so
years is a dull but equally massive COM
panion which emits but one twelve-thou-
sandth part as much light as the brighter
star of the pair. Just as Dean Swift
imagined and described the two inner
moons of Mars long before they We're
actually discovered, so voltaire in 1852,
in his imitation of Gulliver's Travels,
spoke of q great satellite revolving about
Sirius on which his hero lived. The COM
panion was actually discovered mathe-
matically in 1884, and was first seen with
the telescope in 1862.

lance from the sun until February 1t
will remain also In unfavorable position
during the whole Of January. On Feb
ruary q 1t will again enter the morning
sky.
Neither on January nor on February
81, when Mercury passes the sun, will we
again see a transit of this planet. Could
We see the planet at the instant of con-
junction on January s, we would see it
passing nearly two degrees below the
sun. which would then lie between the
earth and the planet. On February 21 the
planet passes between the earth and the
sun. but the inclination of its orbit is
so great that it would then be seen to
pass nearly four degrees above the sun.
There will not occur another transit of
the planet until May Z. 1924
Venus is now in the morning sky, hav-
ing passed to the west Of the sun on

December 20, at hours 80 minutes p. M.
the crescent moon will be seen to pass
very close to the planet Jupiter, the upper
edge of the moon passing short dis
lance below the planet. Many observers
south of the earth's equator will see the
planet hidden at this time. On December
s at about II 80 p. m. our satellite will
pass over the bright star at H. Figure 1,

How DR.. Holmes Felt
Louisville Herald.

from the Iou1sViIIe Herald.
DR.. Oliver w. Holmes was small in
stature. Upon one occasion he was
present at a meeting which happened
to be attended by a number of very
large men, thus making his dirninutive
size rather conspicuous in contrast.
One Of these men-doubtless wishing to
make him feel at ease-came up to
him and said:
"Well. DR.. Holmes. ] should think
you would feel rather small among all
these fellows"
II do" replied the doctor. II feel like
