We greet this month the very wei como newcomers on our map. the con- steuations Capricornus, Pegasus An dromeda and parts of the groups Per seus and Aquarius. Capricornus, the ea-Goat, contains no very bright stars, but is one of the oldest con stellations of the zodiac, that is, it is in the belt in which the Sun and plan cts appear. It was in this group. near the brighter star furthest to the east, that human eye first behesd the planet Neptune and recognized it as such.
 Clear of the horizon now, we have the great Flying Horse, Pegasus, the three most brilliant stars of which, to- gether with the brightest of the stars belonging to the group Andromeda, little farther to the noretheast, form "a square called the Great Square of Pegasus. Alpha Pegasi, the brightest of the constellation, is called Markab and is one of the stars most used by mariners for observing lunar dis tances to get longitude at sea. This star has been discovered by the spec troscope to be really composed of two stars, which appear as one to the naked eye. Andromeda. the maid saved from the sea monster by the hero Perseus, is just rising over the horizon.
 M The Planets.
 Mars is preparing to set in the wes- tern sky and before the month is over will be below the horizon we'll before nine o'clock. Uranus, the farthest planet but one from the Sun, is in position for possible observation this month. His position can be seen by reference to the map. where he will be found in the southeastern sky in the constellation Caprice nus. In brightness he will be equivalent to a star of the sixth magn' 'tude and there fore hardly fit object for naked eye observation and at best an object of not too great interest, even with a fair-sized telescope. This planet was 1 unknown to the star-wise ancients 1 and was discovered first in 1756 by an aStropomer who mistook it as a planet
 member of the solar system. Saturn and Venus may be seen just befor !

 will last about an hour, when the
 planet will emerge. This is really a
 sort of an eclipse, quite analogous to
 an eclipse of the Sun. The Moon
 which is comparatively near to the Earth, will interpose itself between us
 and tho planet and blot it from our
 view. Such occultations of the visible
 stars are not rare. but this is the only
 occultation of a planet by the Moon

 Lunar Occultations. The old 'navigato1s, before the days of accurate chronometers, made much use of the observations of occultations of the tars by the, Moon fir the pur- pose of learning their longitude, as the time of the occurrence of these phenomena could be worked out quite accurately They are not SO much observed today. but there exists quite another fact connected with the Moon upon which these eclipses east much light, namely, the question of the ex- istence of lunar atmosphere. If the Moon were surrounded by an atmo- spherc such as the Earths we would expect that the Moon. as 1t interposed itself between our eyes and the star, would gradually blot the star out from sight as the l--+e- got behind more dense section of the air. This, however, is not the case. The star remains absolutely clear till it is sud- denly plotted out by the Moon body itself

 1 Much misconception exists concern ing these so-called shooting stars and this can probably be traced directly to their popular name In reality they are not stars at all; they are. simply tiny particles of matter, for the great CT part no larger than the average pin-head, which come into contact with the Earth's atmosphere. What ever their origin may have been, they <, had been passing through space, fol- lowing the all-compelling law of gray hftation, just as any lager body would do. Moving probably with great speed, because of the absence of friction in space, they suddenly fall into the dense atmosphere, and the heat en- gendered by this sudden meeting both raises the air to a white heat and consumes the meteor. Sometimes one of these bodies is great enough not to become entirely consumed and reaches the Earth. We have many of them in the different museums. It is interesting to note that not one of these meteorites or aerolites that reached terra firma contains any ele- ment or matter which wo do not all ready possess on the earth.
 We know the origin of at least some of these wanderers of space.

we expected" he said. I've got a

Clarice looked round the dingy fiat
and smothered a sigh. Their four years
of married life had begun so happily,
and threatened to end-nowhere.
Peter had dropped from a position
on a literary staff, at fifty dollars a
week, to job as a semi-skilled work
man, at twenty-five. And their needs

Hope for Poor Writers.

Motion pictures are being employed
for the purpose of making a scientific
study of the various movements in
writing with view to ascertaining
how poor writer's can best be taught
to improve. Motion pictures have
been taken of children of two groups
Good writer's and poor writer's. These
pictures have been thrown on the
screen for the purpose of Analysing the
kinds of movements which character
ize good as distinguished from poor
writer's. The Investigators are not yet
ready to make final deductions as to
what the films reveal, but they are of
the opinion that differences in rhythm
of action and in the coordination of
certain strokes are among the char
arcterfstics which will form a basis for
judging good and bad movements. The
advantage. of the films is that they
can be stopped at any point for de-
tailed examination and comparison,
of course, they can be repeated any
number of times.

Peter laughed mirthlessly. ST guess
the little old place changed hands long
ago." he answered.
Clarice sighed. That was just like
did have initiative.
At twenty-five Peter had entered the
employment of the Babbitt Electrical
company. 1t was a small concern and
being crowded out by more prosperous
rivals. However, Babbitt had an idea,
and he had put all his resources into
it.
There was a certain process for
cheapening carbons, on which a dozen
men had been working independently
for years. 1t was highly technical
affeir and Rabbit had a score of trust
ed employees in his works busy upon
the scheme. But the hitch was soon
found. In order to bring it to perfec-
ton it was necessary to study all the
metallurgical writings of the modern
German scientists.
Now, German scientists are the only
men who pursue the minutiae of chem
ical investigations for their theoretical
advantages. Perhaps ten men had do
scribed the process, without reference
to its practical application. Scattered
through German literature, Rabbit
knew for certain, were descriptions of
the new carbon process. These had to
be translated, brought together, ana
lyzed and reapplied. Peter had had a
German mother. He knew the lam
guage. He had some literary gift and
a good education. And for year after
year he had pored over these books,
translating, piecing together. until the
secret was within Rabbits grasp.
Then Rabbits money gave out and
the whole thing was abandoned. Bah
bitt had only one comfort. Nobody
else was likely to hit on the solution.
Nobody else had attacked the problem
from the same angle, and without this
careful spadework success was impos-
sible.
And Peter, who might have taken his
gleanings 20 any of the dozen COM
petitors of Babbftt, and made a for
tune. was either too stupid or too hon.
est, or probably both.
Next day he found letter from
Cough & Co., dropping him and inclos-
ing weeks wages. He started out to
hunt for job. He hunted four days

To Help Rapid Transit.

The blasting off of a 15-foot layer
of rock from the top of Coenties reef
in East river, New York, just east of
the lower end of Manhattan, and, at
the same time, the boring of two tun-
nels under this reef, constitute a dual
engineering undertaking now in prog
ress that is calling for unusual precau-
tons and skillfu1 procedure, says Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. The tunnel
will serve as a new rapid-transit link
between Manhattan and Brooklyn. The
cost of cutting down the reef is being
borne by the federal government and
New York city. At mean low tide the
reef has been % feet below the sur
face, a distance that is not regarded
as safe for some heavily laden boats.
The new depth of 40 feet will be more
sufficient, it is believed. The tunnel
ing, which could not well be delayed
until after the channel was deepened,
is progressing ahead of and faster than
the rfver-bottom excavating, which is
proceeding at right angles to the tun-
neiS.

He Had Them.

There were three brothers at the
place where we spent our vacation this
year. They were playing with a stout
string one day, the two older boys
pulling against the youngest boy. They
were pulling around tree stump and
didn't see little Bill when he put the
string in his mouth and held it with
his teeth, and naturally but fatally
they kept on pulling. In a moment
they heard a terrible yell, and ran
to find Bill with blood-stafned hand
and mouth and the news they'd pulled
his teeth out.
They all went solemn1y to their
mother, who pulled little Bill into her
arms and wept over him. aOh, Bill,
you've lost your teeth and you'll have
to wait until you're a man to have
others"
No. I won't, mamma" Bill said, and
stopped crying long enough to unclasp
his little blood-spattered fist. 81 didn't
