THE HEAVENS IN AUGUST
By PROFESSOR DoOLITTLE of the University of Pennsylvania

Doubtless the most interesting as- tronomical occurrence of the present month is the entrance of the beautiful planet Jupiter into our evening sky. If during the last few weeks the reader has happened to glance at a late hour of the evening toward the eastern heavens, he cannot have failed to notice this most brilliant object there. well up from the ground and shining with 16 times the brightness of first magniture star. But not until the first of the present month does this most wonderful and interesting world-by far the largest of all the worlds which circle around our sun-enter the borders of our evening sky map. For the remainder of the present year 1t will re- main the most conspicuous object in the evening heavens.
 This month is also sgnalized by the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-08-08

passage of the moon over the bright star Antares and by the occurrence of an eclipse of the sun, but unfortunately neither of these interesting phenomena will be visible to observers within the borders of the United States.
 THE AUGUST STARS
 There have been many interesting changes in the face of the evening heavens since last month. The great Leo. the very last of the winter groups, has disappeared: the preceding stars of the very large croup, Virgo are begin ning to set. and there no longer remains the least trace of the long, struggling constellation known as the Water Snake. Hercules and Corona no longer occupy the highest l nt of the heavens, but they, as well as the brilliant Scorpio Opkluchus and Bootes, have moved far toward the west The long train of bright

the ball of the monn. It is for this req son that ecilpses of this kind are called annular, or ring. eclipses.
 The present eclipse will begin on Au- gust 10 at hours 56 minutes seconds, p. m. (eastern standard time) and will end at hours 4S minutes D. m., thus lasting in it's entirety almost six hours.
 THE PLANETS IN AUGUST.
 Mercury enters the evening sky on Au- gust IA but does not reach it's great est distance east of the sun until Sep tember ?. On August 31 it set sabout one hour after sunset and may therefore be then detected low in the twilight: but it can be seen to much better advantag ge four weeks later.
 Venus is practically invisible through out all of August, as it is lost in the rays of the sun. On August 1 it rises but 70 minutes, and on August 31 but 10 minutes before sunrise.
 Mars will be seen hsng far in the northeast, four hours before sunrise: It thus attains a quite high altitude by the time of dawn. It is now of almost exactly the same brightness as first magnitude star; because of this, and be- cause of it's red color, 1t is very con spicuous and cannot be mistaken.
 Jupiter may be seen rising almost ex- actly at the east point of the horizon at p. m. August 1 and at a few minutes before ' p. m. on August 31 Though this world, on the whole, moves eastward among the stars, completing the circuit O fthe heavens in about 1: years, it is at the present time moving slowly westward or "retrogradng." This retrograde motoin will continue until No vember 15, when 1t will be found at z distance equal to r times the apparent diameter of the full mooon west of its present position. After this date it vii again run rapidly eastward among thu stars

cause of the varia biity itself. this period has recently been growing longer.
 Around the star at F there is wonder full streams of stars. while between this and the star at H is the curious vacant region of the Milky Way known as the Northern Coal Sack. But star streams and clouds and other wonderful objects literally fill this beautiful region of the Milky Way. The bright star at H is itself a most interesting sun. Not only do we now see it as the brightest star of the constellation, but it Is approach ing our earth at the rate of 36 miles a second, and in the course of very many centuries it will have drawn so near us that 1t will afr outshine every other star of the heavens. What klnds or pe- ings they will be who will then be watch ing the heavens from our little earth we can only conjecture, if indeed our world at that remote epoch will be in such

the great disturbances on this vaporous
 world and on account of its rapid rota-
 ton, and its four bright and ever-mov-
 ing moons form so fascinating an ob-
 ject that one can scarcely tire of watch
 ing it. Numerous occulations, transits or eclipses of the moons will be seen to
 occur during the night of August 6, 8, 15, P and 31
 Saturn is steadily withdrawing from the suns rays into the morning sky. On August 1 it rises, but two hours before sunrise, but this time is increased to no less than four and three-fourths hours by the end of the month. It will not be
 until November, however, that we will see this beautiful planet shining in our eYening sky.

condition that any life at all will be possible upon it.
 THE ANNULAR ECLIPSE OF SUN
 On the afternoon of August 10 the moon will pass between the earth and the sun, but unfortunately the shadow of our satellite will not at that time fall upon any part of the United States. Were there an observer at the point A, Fig ure ?. he would be the first person on the earth to see the moons black disc touch the edge of the sum-; while it is from the point B that the last trace of the eclipse will be visible
 All observers within the region RSTN will see the sun partly hidden by the moon, while to those within the mar row strip MNO. the intensely black disc of the moon will appear to move com pletely onto the bright disc of the sun. Even here, however, the suns light will at no time be completely cut off; it will shine out as a brilliant ring encircling

in fact, it might always be day on so strangely situated world, because, per l haps, one of their suns is always to be | seen in their sky.
 | At the position E there is an incon- | spicuous sixth magnitude pair of suns which, from the immense amount of mathematical research which has been devoted to it. is well known to every astronomer. This pair is called Sixty one Cyni'' and has the distinction of be- | ing nearer to us than any other Known star north of the Celestial Equator. The | light from this pair of suns requires but | eight years to reach us, so that Sixty -one 1 Cyeni is at almost exactly the same dis tence away as the bright Dog star Sirius The variable star at B, which the reader

 and study is that which lies within the borders of the constellation cygnus, or the Northern Cross, now high in the evening sky. The star at A is perhaps the most beautiful double star in the heavens with a small aperture. the larger star being of a golden color and the smaller one blue. The star at C is a very similar but more difficult double, while that at D is a double presenting an only slightly less beautiful contrast in color, but in whic hthe colors are far more unusual. the larger star being white and the smaller one of a lilac tint.

A BIG DRY GAIN IN MICHIGAN
of the Sixteen Counties Voting
on Local Option

Detroit, April with returns prac-
tically complete, except from two
counties, where the result was doubt
full, it was conceded yesterday noon
that the "drys" had won in thirteen
of the sixteen Michigan counties vot-
ing on local option Monday, thereby
adding nine counties to Michigan's
dry area and giving the state at
least forty-three counties without sa-
looms. The vote was so close in Chip
pewa and Alger counties that both
sides were claiming victory.
Among important counties which
went into the dry column yesterday
were Kalamazoo, Calhoun, Mason, La
peer, Tuscola and Oakland. The vote
forced at least 327 saloons out of bust
ness and added 336,736 to the popula-
ton of the state already in dry ter
ritory. Anti-saloon leaders were pre-
dieting statewide prohibition in Michi-
gan two years hence.
Late returns increase the large ma
jority won by the Republican state
ticket.
