princess); Canes Venatica, the Hunt
ing Dogs, whose brightest star is
badly misnamed Cor Carroll, Heart of
Charles, after the second English
king of that name; and to the north
of these is the Great Dfpper, which

Great Bear.
The handle of the Dipper points
fairly directly to the great star Arctu-
sus in the group Bootes, to the east of
which lies the Northern Coronet, Co
Irona Borealis. The central star OF
this group is called Gemma, or jew
ell. Further east is Hercules, a con-
stellatfon which has no very brilliant
stars, even though it occupies an en-
ormous part of the sky. 1t contains
however, the very wonderful star
cluster known as Messier Is. On q
particularly good moonless night it
can be seen as a faint hazy star.
whereas in reality it is an aggrega-
ton of separate, fuTl-sized stars, not
less than five thousand in number.
A larger telescope reveals its true
nature and even in a small one its
structure can be recognized.

blue-white star is the brightest star
in the northern celestial hemisphere
and the second brightest star visible
from latitude north of 38. The lead
er of the entire starry world is 81
RUS, which sets little too early for
observation at the present, and the
second to him is Campus, which our
readers in the Southern States have
loften seen in the far southern sky.
