With a little practice all the Con-

whore in the sky when the Square
OF Pegasus is on the meridian will

Tonight. at p. m. Cassiopeia,
AndrSmeda and CetUs are all more

eda nearly overhead and Cassio-
peia north of the zenith. On Janu-

on May /. the Great Dipper (nearly
overhead in northern United

with Cepheus standing on the pole
in the north. hlHU1
Other consultations besides those
named are also on. or near. the me-
ridiRn at these times. but certain
ones have been chosen simply as
landmarks to determine the location
of the central line OF the sky. the
details being filled in either from
the observers already acquired
knowledge or with the aid of a map
or star globe.
II Is well to remember that, owing
to the eastward rotation OF the
earth. making one turn on it's axis
in twenty-fOur hours. the stars
seem to move westward at the same
rate. Their motion covers Is de-
grees in one hour. and since they
all keep the same step the whole
heavens shift continually west
ward by that amount, stars pre-
viously unseen rising in the east as
fast as the others set in the west.
lhen Gomez a curious fact, which is
simple enough when you reflect
upon Il: owing 10 the earth's east
ward motion in its orbit. making a
complete circuit about the sun In
twelve months, the stars are shifted
westward by this annual motion
Just a. much in one month as they
are shifted by the daily motion in
two hours. or, In other words, they
move westward 30 degrees In a
month.
II. then. you start with the
knowledge that the Pleiades are on
or, at least. very near. the meridian
on the 1st OF January at Q p. m.
you can predict where they will be
at the same hour one month later

the meridian on the map. and
