 Nurel was untiring in her activity. Either and thither she went, beating down the high bracken and tangles of weeds, poking with her stick into ev. cry hole and corner, and going far ther and farther into the wood in the certainty that the body was therein concealed.
 Soon We came to a deep wooded ra. vine of the existence of which was in ignorance. lt was a kind of small glen through which a riyulet flowed, but the banks were covered with a thick. impenetrable undergrowth.
 This is a most likely place" de- clared my dainty little companion as we approached it Anything could easily be concealed in that high bracken down there. Let us search the whole glen from end to end she cried with enthusiasm
 Acting upon her suggestion and without thought of luncheon, we made a descent of the steep bank until we reached the rocky bed of the stream Undaunted, she went on, springing from stone to stone and

 The sun had set, and the sky above showed the crimson of the distant afterglow, warning us that it was time we began to think of how to make our exit We were passing around a sharp bend in the glen where the powders were so thickly moss grown that our feet fell noiselessly, when l thought ! heard a voice, and raising my hand we both halted suddenly.
 Someone is there" I whispered quickly Behind that rock" She nodded in the affirmative, for she, too Lad heard the voice.
 We listened, but the sound was not repeated That someone was on the other side of the rock knew for in a tree in the vicinity thrush was hop ping from twig to twig, sounding its alarm-cry and objecting to being dis turbed.
 Therefore we crept silently forward together to ascertain who were the in- ruders The only manner, however, in which to get a view beyond the huge rock that, having fallen across the stream centuries ago, had diverted its channel was to chamber up its messy sides to the summit This we did ea- serly and breathlessly, without betray- ing our presence by the utterance of a single word and laying ourselves fiat as we came to its summit
 Then together we peered over. just, however, in time to see two dark fig, ures of men disappearing into the thicket on the opposite side of the glen
 "WhO are they, I wonder?" l asked Do you recognize them?"
 No. They are entire strangers tC me-" was her answer. But they seem fairly well dressed Perhaps two sportsmen from some shooting party in the neighborhood They've lost their way most probably"

 "A spadei" she gasped quickly 1T a low voice.
 At the moment my eye caught sigh of a portion of the ground below uI at the base of the rock which had eyi dently been recently disturbed.
 'It is a spade the man is carrying ! I cried excitedly. Look down there They've just been burying something!

per second To the west lies the Bear Driver Bootes, with the very bright star Arcturus. rich in mythol ogical and scientific interest Arctur- us is one of the most rapidly moving stars in the heavens and is now quite Ia degree out from the position 1t had ln the time of the ancient Green as. trOnomers lt is Of a slightly reddish hue and probably several hundred times as bright as our own sun. It is Interesting to note that the astrolo, gers used to believe that fame and wealth were destined to come to one born under Arcturus
 To the east of Corona is the large but medium bright group. of Hercules and little farther east is the bright est star of the northern heavens, Vega, of the constellation Lyra. the Harp of Orpheus. Of all the stars visible in our latitude the star Sirius of the southern heavens alone surpasses Ve- ga in magnitude and beauty.
 The next brightest star in this group is of variable intensity, and just to the east of this star is the famour Ring Nebula in Lyra. invisible to the naked eye but a good object for small l telescopes Still farther to the east the eye meets the Milky Way which here seems to be split up into two | streams. The very bright star Altair, | which can be easily found by means Of the accompanying star map, Is | chiefly interesting because 1t is one of the nearest of the bright stars and is also rapidly approaching the earth.
 SUMMER HEAT
 Have you ever seriously asked your self this question: Why is summer hotter than winter? The answer that may come to ones mind first is that perhaps the earth is nearer to the sun at one time of year than another and that when it SO approaches the sun the daily temperature goes up
 Actually the reverse is true. for on July Of this year the earth will be at the point i'm its orbit called aphoh- lon. the point at which it is as far away from the sun at it can get in its annual orbit While it Is true that the earth as a whole receives little more heat at perihelion (that point in 1.-the earth's orbit of nearest approach to the sun), that occurs in January. and in any case the difference in heat and light energy received from the sun at aphelion and perihelion has no
 marked influence on the seasons of the northern and southern hemis-
 The correct explanation is to be found in the position of the sun in the sky If the suns apparent path (ap- parent because. of course. it is the
 earth that does the moving) were not such as to bring the sun higher up in the sky at one time of the year than another, the average daily tempera
 lures would remain about the same
 for all parts of the year in any one To-
 cation. Due, however, to the fact that
Bisbee daily review., 1915-07-06

the earth's axis of rotation, or polar axis is at an angle with the planet ot the earth's orbit on the plane of the suns apparent orbit the sun does change its greatest daily. or meridian, or noon altitude considerably-by about 47 degrees That is. the noon height of the sun above the horizon on the northern midsummer day June 2l is roughly three times as great as 1t is on the northern midwinter day Dec 21 for the latitude of New York
 Now then, the effect Of this in. creased altitude is twofold First, the day is longer in summer than in winter-in summer the period Of day light lasts longer than that Of dark ness, and therefore the suns rays longer on the earth 10 warm it up. Second, the sun being higher up, the rays fall more directly and the ener-
