Uranus is the only one of the,
planets which makes its appearance
On our map this month; all the other
planets, with the exception Of Mer-
curry, is too near the sun to be seen
at all. The early morning star field
is as rich in planets these last
months of the year as the evening
sky was when the year was younger.
Unfortunately. too, Uranus is not
much of an attraction, either to the
naked eye or even in the telescope.
Though really a very large body, it
is SO far away from US that it APP
pears only as bright as a star OF the
sixth or seventh magnitude. 1t is
thus only on the border line OF
naked-eye observation
Like all the other planets, Uranus
shines only by reflected sunlight. 1t
was not known to the ancient Greek
astronomers, for, without the aid of
powerful optical instruments, it can
not be distinguished from the neigh
boring fixed stars, even under the
best of observing conditions. If it
were possible to observe its mo-
tons through the fxed-star field,
this would Immediately have inform
ed the Greeks that it was not fixed
star, but one of the company of
wanderers" or planets. But they
could not attempt this with their
measuring instruments, which were
in themselves excellent, but lacking
the telescope. The first one to
recognize the. true nature of this
planet was William Hersche1. who
announced its discovery in 1881. He
named it Georgium Sidus, the
Throne of George, in honor of
George II of England, but this name
died an early and well-deserved
death.
OSCILLATIONS Of Algoi.
Last month we discussed the re-
markable variations in brightness
OF the demon" star, Algol. the sec
ond brightest in the constellation of
Persecus. This star, we recall, is
really a double star, one of the
components periodically eclipsing
the other and thus diminishing the
total brightness of the pair as seen
by us. At the minimum of bright
ness the loss in light is about two

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am 1s years
of age. I have been keeping steady
company with a young man two years
my senior since last summer. During
that time / went with no one else. For
a. while / thought L loved him. but
have found lately THAT 1 didn't. He
has told me he loved me. and / know
it would hurt him terribly IL 1 quit
him.
He is a gentleman. but he doesn't
dress as we'll as he could. He has a
good job and makes good money.
Do you think 1 am too young to
have steady company? I have a
chance to go with some one else
Would you advise. me to go?s
ANXIOUS.
q I desthink vo&are too young to go
with one young man only. 1t will
probably hurt him terribly at first If
he finds you do not love him, but he
will recover from. the disa appointment
and will be happy with some other
girl. Il would advise, you to accept
other invitations since YOU want to. :
