what happens on our little earth; to ina zine that by studying the motions of ones ::nataH or ruling" planet one could tell what times were favorable and what unfavorable to him, and that the sudden appearance of bright comet or of an eclipse carried mes age to the whole nation of people. And it was hoped that when astronomy be- came so perfected that all heavenly phenomena could be exactly predicted men could foretell all coming events.
 But with the extraordinary develop
 nent of astronomy, astrology fell into disrepute until finally it was reluctant ly, though definitely. abandoned by all men of true scientific knowledge. Prob ably few conspicuous failures in contributed to this. but it was much more due to the gradual growth of the condition that astrologers were neither richer nor wiser in ordinary affairs than other men. nor better able to avert calamities from themselves. and that, therefore their supposed knowledge was of little use to them. And all Of this aside from the almost infinite inn proba bility that the motions of the far distant planets can heve any influence whatever upon life on our little earth.
 In short, all predictions of what will come to pass based on conjunctions are other phenomena of the planets are pure guesses, having no foundation in astronomy whatever. Among astrolo- gers there are doubtless some who are

Now the Summer Solstice has retrograded or moved westward on the sky to point in Gemini near the stars at s. in 25,S00 years it will complete the circuit of the entire heavens.
 The east star of the pair of stars at s is a wide double, the deep yellow primary having a blue companion of the eleventh magnitude so seconds due east of itself The west star of the nearly equal bright pair is far more difficult double, as are also the white stars at F and E. Both the west star at s and the star at N vary in their light, the former in a period of 231 days and the latter in only 10 days. As with many other stars, the variations in brightness are but small but those of the first year can be easily detected by careful watching, since when brightest the star is almost exactly as bright as the star ihear it, but when faintest it is only about one-half as bright The star at N when brightest is very little brighter than the star at F. but when faintest it is conspicuous ly fainter. Its brightenings occur dur ing the present month in the daytime, until the one of December 24, when 1t will attain it's maximum at 7 hours min utes D. m. After this the brightenngs occur at the constant interval of 10 days 3 hours s minutes.
 The observation of such variables as these may at first seem somewhat diff cult because the variations are so slight, but a little attentive study, especially if small telescope can be used, will make their changes so evident that the observer will perhaps wonder that he never noticed them before And the ob- servation of variable stars possesses a fascination of it's own, so much so that there is large and flourishing as= sociation of amateurs in this country de- voted to this one branch of astronomy
 There is much still to be learned of these distant suns. Evidently the causes
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-11-30

of variation in the two stars above men
 toned are very different, since the pe- riod of the first is nearly eight months,
 while that of the second is but little
 more than 10 days. The first is very like the wonderful and weli-known variable
 at o (Figure 1), which at the interval of Il months pours out 1500 times as muck light and heat as usual. The variation
 is, however, far smaller, since but twice as much light is emitted from the star when brightest as when faintest. We do not know at all. as yet, what causes
 these regular outbursts in the suns of our
 universe. But we do know that if our own sun should every eight months emit
 only twice as much heat and light as usual the effect on our earth would be disastrous.
 THE PLANET JUPITER This magnificent object is again found on our evening map, for it now rises
 far in the northeast few minutes before g o'clock by midnight it is high in the southern heavens and of all the planets it best repays careful study with the telescope. Jupiter is sometimes called the Giant of the Solar system, for it is by far the largest of all the planets. and in fact is larger than all of the other rlanets together. It is S6,500 miles through, yet could one stand on Jupiter, he would weight but two and three-fifths times as much as he did on the earth. The reason why Jupiter, notwithstanding it's great size, does not pull downward so strongly on one as we would expect. IS on account of it's low density; a cubic foot of Jupiter weighs but Is times as much as a cubr foot of water This is l less than a quarter of the density of the I earth.
 | It cannot be doubted that the planet is i extremely hot and that it's very low den-
 sity is caused by the expansive power of 1 it's internal heat, which to some extent
 neutralizes gravitation in spite of the 1 great size of the planet. The beautiful bands which cross the ball, and the in numerable other markings seen in the i telescope are continually changing their | shapes, little spots often drifting past l one another with speed of as much as l 400 miles an hour; all of which suggests i that there is nothing solid about this distant world. It is a kind of seml-
 sun.
 The lower picture of Figure shows l one appearance of Jupiter as viewed In l a very small telescope. Near the planet ! we see the four bright moons, which are continually changing their posi- tions observations of the eclipses of | these moons. as they pass into Jupiter's S l great shadow. and their occultations. as l they pass behind the ball of the 1 rlanet and of their transits oyer the | planets disc. are most interesting with l a small telescope. For example, on the early morning of December &, the. first
 moon will begin to transit five hours i7 minutes a. m. and will emerge from transit at hours 34 minutes a. m. | (eastern standard time). And on the | evening of December 9. the third moon will emerge from the planets shadow at 10 hours 34 minutes 12 seconds D,
 m., an6 this moon will disappear behind

THE STARRY SKIES IN DECEMBER


With the arrival of this month of the shortest days and longest nights the beautiful evening heavens begin to take on the brilliant appearance so charac- teristic of the mid-winter sky. Already Orion is seen high in the east; the beautiful Taurus, with it's striking lit- tie roups of the Pleiades and the Hya- des, has almost reached the meridian in the south, while the Dog Stars Sirus and Procyon have just emerged from be- low the ground, to shine very brilliantly in our heavens throughout all the re- maining evenings of winter.
 THE DECEMBER STARS
 A little way up from the ground in the northeast may now be seen the faint and interesting little group of Cancer, or the Crab The most striking object of this star group is the misty little cloud (at P, Figure D which, with a small tele- scope or even with a pair of opera glasses. is seen to be a cluster of about 150 stars. The increasing dimness and final disappearance of this faint object towing to increasing saturation of our atmosphere has for more than 2oOo years been regarded as sure sign of rain. The increasing wetness of the air pro- duces an effect very marked in large telescope. but which may not apprecably alter the brightness of the brighter stars and which is very evident with so faint an object as this.
 The name Cancer was applied to this star group 2500 years ago, when the sum mer Solstioe, or highest point among the stars reached by the sun, was situ- ated in this constellation. Then the sun stopped going northward on the sphere and began to go backward again

T refused to submit to an operation N hich l was told was my only hope, but took Tanlac instead. and I not only re- covered my health but gained b pounds besides" said Mrs. J. M. Mays of TIC Twelfth street, Augusta, Ga, wife of we'll known wood and coal dealer.
 For over a year. she continued, 'I suffered from stomach trouble and other disorders and was gradually growing worse My head ached terribly most ali the time, the pain in my right side was so agonizins that I could hardly stand it and my back ached constantly. My appetite failed, and what little I did eat seemed to poison my system and make matters worse. I was so nervous and miserable that I could hardly sleep and so weak and run down they told me mi only hope lay in an operation.
 T decided to try Tanlac first, and my improvement was so rapid that it sur prised me Those headaches are gone, the pain in my side and back left me, my appetite is fine and I sleep like a child at night. That weak and rundown feel ing has disappeared. I feel stronger and better today that I have in long time"

Why Do We See Stars!

Why DO WV IVY CeesAS' From the Book of Wonders.
 and Copyrighted by the Bureau of
 Industrial Education, Inc, Washing
 ton, D. c.
 We do not really see stars, of course when we are hit on the eye or when we fall in such way as to bump the front of our head What we do see, or think we see, is light.
 To understand this we must go back to the explanation of the five senses sight, hearing feeling, tasting and touching. Now, each of these senses has a special set of nerves through which the sensations received by each of the senses is communicated to the brain, and as rule. these special nerves receive no sensations except ing those which occur in theit own particular field of usefulness The eye then has nerves of vision; the nose, nerves of smell; the ear nerves of hearing; the mouth, nerves of taste, and the entire body nerves of touch, As we have seen then, these special nerves are susceptible of receiving inn pressions or sensations only in theil particular field But. if you should be able to rouse the nerves of smell in an entirely artificial way and give them a sensation, they might easily act very muchkSs though they smelled some thing~ We find this often in the nerves of touch when we think we feel something swhen we do not.
 Now. when some one hits you in the eye, the nerves of vision are disturbed in such a way as to produce upon the brain the sensation of seeing light. In other words, you cannot affect the eye ,cn tl1 ,v,r~ h O 60 D of light, and that is just what happens when some one hits you in the eye.

Why Some Things Bend

FIOu ine bOck Ol WOuucIS
 When an outside force is applied to some objects, some of them will bend and others break. It is due to the fact that in some things the particles have the faculty of sticking together or hanging on to each other. and it is very dlnicult to breaktthem away from each other Tn such instances. as in the case of wire. the article will bend when we apply the power to it and it will not break, because the particles witch made up the wire have the faculty of hanging on to each other. piece of glass, however, can be broken right in two by the application or no more force than was used to bend the wire because the particles which make iip the glass haven't the faculty to hag on to each other. If you continue to bend n wire lack and forth, however. at the same point, it will finally break apart, because you eventually overcome the ability of the par ticles in the wire to hang on to each other.
 It all depends upon the hanging-on ahil- ity. Sometimes in undergoing different processes an articles which will ordl- narily only bend will become very brit tie or breakable A steel wire may bend but if you make a steel wire very hard it becomes brittle. On the other hand, glass is very brittle ordinarily. but if you make it very hot you can bend it into any shape you wish, and thus the glass worker makes different shapes to various dishes; lamp chimney's. bottles, etc. by heating glass and then bending it. When it becomes cool again it also becomes brittle or breakable as before.

Hummelstown, Pa, July 3.-On
Sunday morning, July 6, at 1890
o'clock, the members of Zion Lu-
theran Church, of Hummelstown,
will burn their church mortgage. In
1913, during the pastorate of the
Rev. DR.. ID. Burt Smith, extensive
improvements were made to the
church properties. The auditorium
of the brownstone church was en-
larged and beautified by the Lu-
theran appointments; the old his
torlc limestone church was reno
Vatcd and made an up-to-date par
lsh house; the church parsonage
was remodeled and a seXton's home
purchased, entailing an expenditure
OF approximately $4,000.
or this amount about half was
pald on or shortly after the day of
rededication, leaving u mortgage of
iZ.OOO, which was covered by
pledges. A few months later the
Kew. DR.. Smith was called to st.
fauis Lutheran Church, at Easton,
and was succeeded by the Rev. Her.
pert 5. Garnes, who is at present the
pastor. The larger part of the mort
gage has been paid during his pas
torate.
To-day, after 166 years of church
life, Zion Lutheran Church stands

entered some time Tuesday night
and. although it is not known
whether anything was stolen, the in
truders virtually destroyed the en-

SILK MILL FOR
MECHANICSBURG
Option Taken by Committee
on Plot of Ground For
$4,000 Building

lMechanicsburg, Pa. July 3.-That
Mechanicsburg will soon have a new
enterprise located in the borough is
very probable and matter will %.
consummated this evening at a
meeting of committee. If success
full, 1t will mean the establishment
OF a branch of the J. II. & c. K.
Eagle, Inc, silk mill here, and will
be the Throwing Mill.
The local committee has secured
an option. on the Hays plot, located
on the corner of North York and
Green streets, where the first build
ing will be erected at a cost approx
imately of $S5,000. 1t is for this
building that the committee expects
/ to secure the needed funds.
There are only the preliminary
plans, and the services of one hun
dred persons will be required when
the plant is in operation in the first
building. The mill will be brought
to this place and Austin, from Sha-
mokin, where dsmantling and ship
ment of the machinery has begun.
