Serpent in his two hands. The position
of his right hand is marked by the pair
of faint stars at X, and that Of his left
hand by the similar pair of stars at L.
Finally, in the extreme south. we have
the magnificent group Of Scorpio, with its
striking stream Of bright stars extending
from N to r. and its fiery red Antares
at T. The tail of the Scorpion extends
downward and below the horizon in the
south, but again curving upward
stretches along the center Of the Milky
Way, and finally terminates in the Sting
at the star NJ.
This last star is seen as a pretty little
pair of stars in a pair of opera glasses.
At the point U. about half way between
the stars v and T. there is a remarkable
cluster. called by Herschel the richest
mass of stars in the armament, but
which is so condensed that in a small
telescope it appears only as filmy point
of light. This cluster is on the western
border OF a region SO remarkably star
less that Herschel supposed that the
stars of this region were in some way
drawn aside to form the cluster. In
1860 this dark space was hit up for q
short time by the blazing out here Of
temporary star. At the point K a far
easier cluster will be found, very easily
visible in pair of opera glasses and
even to the naked eye. It first appears
as small, bright patch in the edge of
the Milky Way, but is easily seen to be

the explanation Of the fact that the wa
tiers are drained away from the northern
regions, leaving. for example. the broken
lands of northern British North Amer
lea exposed, and submerging the lands in
the extreme south. And many believe
that this varying distance of the earth
from the sun thus affords a clear ex-
PLANTATION of the well ascertained fact
that the earth Is, accurately speaking,
egg-shaped, the portion below the equa-
tor being slightly larger than that
above 1t.
A comet was discovered on May II.
which was almost bright enough to be
visible to the eye, and which 1t was
strongly hoped might become a con-
spicuous object. But when its path
about the sun had been computed 1t was
found that its great brightness at dis
covery arose only from its nearness to
the earth. 1t passed nearest US on May
20, and ever since that time has been
very rapidly drawing away. its bright
ness now being but one-twenty-dfth OF
that which it had at discovery. The
path of this comet among the stars is
shown in Figure 1, but it is now only Wis
ible in the larger telescopes.

When Botany Was Indelicate.


Occasionally a glimpse of the past
throws fresh light on the present. In
1892 Mary Wollstonecraft made her
classic plea that women should be treat
ed as human beings. One feature OF
the attitude of that day is wildly
brought out in this paragraph from her
"Yindication of the Rights Of Women:
What a gross idea of modesty had
the writer Of the following remark:
The lady who asked the question wheth-
er women may be instructed in the mod
ern system of botany, consistently with
female delicacy? was accused of ridicu-
lous prudery; nevertheless. If she had
proposed the question to me I should
certainly have answered-they cannot

very constitution of her nature forbid
Thy child to seek Thee in the fair forms
of truth? And can her soul be sullied
by the knowledge that awfully calls her
to Thee?'"
Consider the change from the day
when Mary Wollstonecraft pleaded for
the right of women to study botany. to

semination Of knowledge on preventable

Mr. Shipman himself calls this book

that made up the vicissitous pilgrimage
of darcy of the Guards" into the

dence in support of the claim that Vassar
College stands as the first institution in
the United States that offered women
opportunities for such education. The
first two chapters of Mr. Taylor's In
vestigation gather up, from both north
and south, the schools and coileges-as
thew we're sometimes called-establishe
for women. The outcome of this review
is a concrete demonstration that none OF
these can be classed as an agent OF the
teriaI sense of good intent high ideal and
broad vision. The remaining four chap
tiers give in rather full detail the begin

which women were granted fresh start

There are hundreds Of objects of in
terest which will be found during an ex-
ploration of the broad path Of the Milky
Way, from Perseus in the north to Scor-
pho in the south. Only a very few Of
the more striking ones can be mentioned
here. but the reader who Is interested
may find many excellent little guide
books, not only to this region, but to the
entire face of the sky. If he possesses a
small telescope he will find. whatever its
size that there are books especially pre-
pared for his instrument, and the pos
session Of at least one such book will
very greatly increase his enjoyment OF
an exploration Of the heavens
Mercury remains too near the sun to
be observed during July.
By far the most brilliant planet OF the
month Is the beautiful Venus, which con-
tinues its very rapid motion toward the
east, passing through Cancer and al
most the entire length Of Leo, and
mounting each evening perceptibly high
er in the western sky. On July 13 It
will pass above the bright star Regulus,
but as it will then be separated from
this star by a distance equal to three
times the apparent diameter Of the
