drawing steadily nearer the earth, and now shines in the morning sky with the brightness of first magnitude star.
 Jupiter Is conspicuous in the southeast after midnight. It rises at il hours 10 D. m. on July 1, and at 9 hours F minutes on July 31.
 Saturn entered the morning sky on June 2S, and throughout the month re- mains too near the sun to be observed
 On July 5, at p. m, our earth reaches its greatest distance from the gun of the present year. At this time we will be 311210 miles further away from the sun than we were at the time of our nearest approach on January F. last.

falling, and that four masses broke away from the main head and are now receding from this at the rate of about z000 miles a day. It Is believed that it is from comets which are thus broken up and whose substance Is distributed for 8 great distance along their paths that the shooting star streams are formed. If this Is so, then whenever we have shower of shooting stars 1t is because our earth blows through a great stream of meteoric particles which were formerly gathered more closely together into the cloud form which we call a comet.
 The further behavior of this new body as it approaches the sun will be watched with the greatest interest It is indeed unfortunate that just at this critical time it will not be visible from our northern observatories.
 Another most interesting comet was undiscovered in April. This body, upon it's first approach to the sun, was dis turbed in It's motion by Jupiter, and so forced to follow the closed path shown in figure 3. It passes completely around this orbit in years 10 months It's last return was in 1909, and it has appeared altogether six times since it's first discovery. As the path of this
  rarent position among the stars can be computed for any time with great ac- curacy. It was searched for this year by means of a delicate photographic plate, and when 1t finally had ap- preached near enough to impress It's Image upon this plate it was found to be in practically the exact position which was predicted. This comet will remain in our northern heavens throughout the month. moving along the path M N, figure 1, but it will remain a very faint object. It will pass nearest the sun on September 1.
 A third, very faint periodic comet was discovered In May, in the constel- lation Pisces, so that altogether there are three comets now visible in the sky.
 The Planets in July
 Mercury, which came to conjunc- ton on June 26, will reach its greatest distance west of the sun on July Is, and may then be seen in the early morning sky for one and one-half hours before sunrise.
 Venus also rises one and one-half hours before sunrise on July 1, but this time Is diminished to 40 min utes by July 31. This planet Is rap idly becoming lost in the suns rays, and will be practically invisible after tho middle of the month.
 Mars is in Taurus, between the hours before the sun on July l and this time is increased to hours 35 minutes by July S1. This planet is

Milky Way, until the tip of the tail is reached.
 The Serpent holder is represented as
 an old man whose head Is at E and whose feet are at F, and who holds
 the writhing Serpent in his two hands at the pairs of stars, B and c. There is a special pleasure in trac- ing out and becoming familiar with
 these faint groups and often their out lines are more perfect and there are
 more objects of interest within their boundaries than is the case with the
 few very brilliant constellations with which nearly everyone Is familiar. But
 to study these more hidden beauties of the heavens the observer must be sure
 to select dark night, when the moon is absent, and to go away from city or other artificial lights. It is only
 then that the wonderful beauty and in | finite complexity of the heavens will l appear to him.
 | The whole summer branch of the Milky Way Is now well up from the ground, and this will repay many hours of exploration with a small tele- scope. It's wide southern portion is re- | markedly filled with star clouds and | streams, alternating with vacant re- 1 gions from which the suns seem to
 have been swept away to be heaped to- i gether elsewhere. This whole region | and especially the lower part of
 Ophiuchus, Is remarkable for the great
 number of round. compact star clusters | which 1t contains; but these are nearly
 all faint, probably on account of
 their enormous distance from us, that
 they appear merely as filmy patches | of light in a small telescope
 | The Comets Now in the Heavens | The first comet of the present year has been approaching the earth and
 sun so rapidly that it will be just vis- 1 ible to the eye throughout the present
 month Unfortunately, however. It's
 motion carries it so very far below the celestial equator that during this. its | time of greatest brightness, it Is | wholly invisible to northern observers At the beginning of July 1t is, in fact, very close to the south pole of the heavens. From here it will move rap l idly northward, traversing the whole length of the constellation Eridanus,
 and finally crossing the celestial equa-
 tor and entering the borders of Taurus
 ir next January. It will be In req | sonably good position for northern ob
 servation after next November, but by

 The July Stars
 There is no part of the heavens which Is more beautiful or more filled with objects of interest than the south ern and southeastern sky of this month First is the brilliant Scorpio, with it's red Antares. To the right of this there will at once be seen the two stars of the Balance and the bright, bluish Spica, while high above that they are now almost in the zenith is that bright and interesting train of five striking groups which is led by Bootes and ended by the north ern cross.
 All of these groups the observer will have but little difficulty in tracing out, but the stars of the great area ex- tending almost from Arcturus to Sag ittarius and from Hercules to Scorpio and are far less conspicuous. These form the Serpent and the Serpent

Of all the seven planets, there Is not one whose position In the heavens now brings 1t within the limits of our evening star map. This Is the only month of the year in which this un- usual condition Is presented. The ob- server who wishes to see at one time as many as possible of the bright worlds which circle about the sun must now go out in the morning an hour or less before sunrise. Then he will see the great Jupiter shining in the southwest, Mars high in the heavens in the southeast, and Venus and Mercury close to the ground In the east, both so nearly lost in the suns rays that they can be viewed for a few min utes only in the early dawn. The planetless condition of the evening heavens will last however, for but this single month. On July 31 Jupiter will

 This comet is one of those which, being originally little nebulous clouds far out in space, came to feel the gravitational pull of our sun and to fall toward that body. Since both the cloud and our sun are rushing through space, the chance of an actual collision occurring is almost infinitely small The comet will, in fact miss the sun, but swing around that body

MASON SAYS DRIVE

NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-THE German
offensive against the Russians Is being

indications are abundant that the Teu-
tonic power of attack Is weakening.
In particular. Marshal Won Hinden-
burg who commands the northern arm

ably hampering the Germans. Novo
Georgievsk and Kovno kuto hold out
against the Teutonic assaults. although
neither fortress has the resisting power
Which Antwerp possessed. but which
was SO quickly overcome by the Ger
mans earlier in the war. The principal
reason for the more successful defense
OF the Russian fortress undoubtedly Is
the present Teutonic difficulty Of OBJ
tanning sufficient shells. The Germans
are unquestionably storing a large part
Of their new munitions to resist a pos
sible Anglo-French offensive in the
west. The Galician drive and the cap

There must be long intervals of com-
parative inactivity to permit the war

tillerists. One Of these intervals is
now taking place among the Germans
In Russia. They are waiting for more
