Vail Thinks of College Men

Tn the American Magazine Theodore Vail says:
 The young man entering life must not be impatient He must accumulate experience, he must learn the duties of his position by the actual doing before he has any value to his employer.
 The reason so many college boys fail is that they are full of theories; they think they know it all A college course is a good thing, an excellent thing, but it must be given to the right kind of youth. Quite number of the highest po- sitions are filled by men who went through college but who had no false notions as to what was required of them when they entered business. No man is worth anything until he has gone into the heat of the battle and had his theories subordinated to practice.
 "The son of rich parents is handi- capped in his youth. He gets no expe- rience of doing things, and no opportu- nity to benefit from hard knocks such as come the other fellows way.
 When a boy comes to ask me to put him through college I tell him it would be the worst thing that could happen to him. I say: You would not only have a burden of debt on your shoulders when you finished college, but you would have the additional burden of getting expe- rience-and it is pretty hard to get expe rience and earn money at the same time. You can earn money only after you have had experience"

 AMATEUR OBSERVATIONS

The zodiacal light and the counter-glow are two excellent examples of celestial objects which seem especially designed for the observation of amateur astrono- mers. In this work even the largest tele- scope is not of the slightest use, and though the latter object has been photo graphed, yet for their continual observa- ton reliance must be placed wholly upon naked-eye work. One observer has re- gently completed long series of zodiacal light observations, having special refer ence to it's brightness, which latter is determined by comparing it with selected regions of the Milky Way. These obser- vations may in the future throw much light on it's irregular fluctuations in brightness, which phenomena are as yet unexplained.
 Again, it is of much importance to de- termine whether it's axis lies exactly along the ecliptic, for one theory of it's origin supposes that it's particles are ex- pelled from the poles of the suns equa- tor. If this theory is correct, the exis must be inclined to the line of the ecliptic no less than seven degrees, for this is the amount of the inclination of the suns equator. It has not yet been determined from observation whether this is the case. case.

density. Each particle in this position must turn it's illuminated half directly toward us and indeed shine as a full moon, so that from this region we should receive an unusual amount of light. A profound and beautiful mathematical re- search shows, in fact, that under the combined pulls of the sun and earth the particles of the zodiacal cloud will tend to accumulate in 8 region which Is ex- actly opposite the sun as viewed from the earth. The analysis shows that par ticles which would normally revolve regu- larly in their orbits about the sun, as the earth does will upon reaching this region be arrested. Here their motion will become very irregular; they will oscillate back ward and forward for a greater or less length of time, finalk- escaping to pursue their paths about the sun, their places being taken by other newly arrived par ticles. If this is the true explanation of the counter-glow it's distance from the earth must be 930,000 miles-four times the distance of the moon.
 Another, wholly different, theory sup- poses that these particles directly oppo- site the sun are molecules of the lighter gases of the earths upper atmosphere suns action. If this is the true explana- ton, the earth as it passes about it's orbit is, like many of the comets, ever accompanied by a great but very tenuous tail" which stretches out into space in

 The two great outer planets, Jupiter and Saturn, are still shining brightly, however, in the early evenings of March. The former glows low in the west, with a steady golden radiance, but it is now too low Tn the heavens for the most sat isfactory observations with the telescope. Toward the beginning of the month this planet sets about 9 hours 90 minutes p. m, but by March 31 it will sink below the horizon few minutes before 8 o'clock.
 !. The beautiful Saturn shines high in the evening heavens almost on the meridian. Ever since the beginning of the year this planet has been moving westward. or "retrograding," among the stars, so that although two months ago it was to the eastward of a straight line joining Castor and Pollux. it is now perceptiby to the right of this line. On March 25 this backward motion will cease and the planet will begin to run eastward again. Its motion is, however, always so slow that even by the end of the present year 1t will have only reached the eastern

 counter-glow during the month of March.
  tions beyond the orbit of the earth The earth and the two innermost planets are, in fact, immersed in the cloud. It is the sunlight reflected from each of the in- numberabe little particles of the cloud that causes the faint illumination that we see.
 THE COUNTER-GLOW A very much more difficult object than the zodiacal light is a very faint little area of illumination which moves erl- tirely around the heavens among the consultations in the course of the year. it's center always being found in the eciptic and exactly opposite the sun. This is known as the counter-glow, an object so faint that it eluded detection until the year 1854. and which when again noticed many years later was thought to be new discovery. The counter-glow can only be seen when the general background of the sky is very dark; when it is passing through the Milky Way. and even when it ap- breaches the vicinity of bright star or planet, it's observation is rendered very difficult. During the present month it's center will move over a comparatively vacant region of the sky from Leo into Virgo. Since 1t is always opposite the sun, it will be found highest in the heavens at midnight. During the last week or 10 days of the present month while the moon is absent from the mid night heavens, the observer by using proper precautions in regard to getting away from all artificial light a-id employ ing averted vision. may very possibly detect this exceedingly interesting but lit- uAI l. -I~f -,tJy Al satisfaction of knowing that he has ac- complshed what is regarded as one of the. most difficult of naked-eye observa- tions.

THE STARRY HEAVENS IN MARCH

In March, the first of our spring months, the evening heavens show most clearly the contrast between the winter and summer skies. The whole western half of the sphere above us is now GOV cred with the bright winter groups, while the winter branch of the milky way is all ready west of the meridian and is just beginning Its slow but steady withdrawal from our evening skies.
 In contrast, the whole eastern half of the heavens is far fainter, In the south the long water snake has dragged two thirds of its length from below the ground, the western end of the great summer group Virgo is just beginning to appear, while above this we again see the reddish, brilliantly glowing summer star, Arcturus. to which the ancients ascribed a malign and stormy influence. Between Arcturus and the Lesser Lion the observer may trace out the beauti- the maiden's hair.
 The interesting, but very faint, group Cancer is exactly on the meridian in the south; to the left of this is the bright Sickle, now apparently hanging perfectly upright, with its handle downward in the sky. Still higher in the heavens, the entire constellation of the great bear (of which the great dipper is but a small parD is now in excellent position for trac- ing out in it's entirety. Now, too, is the best time of the year for the observer to become acquainted with the lesser lion and the lynx two faint little groups which. with Coma Berenices and the hunting dogs, inclose the whole southern border of the greater bear

THE PLANETS IN MARCH

Mercury, Venus and Mars are all in the same region of the sky, near the vernal equinox. and all are much too close to the sun to be observed during March. Mercury passes to the east of the sun on March 29, but will not attain it's greatest distance until nearly a month later Venus is still in the morn ing sky, and though it will not pass to the east of the sun until April 26, it is already wholly lost in the suns rays.
