THE CHEAT BEAR

/ The two stars forming the front Of
the hoWl of the Big Dipper are called
the Pointers, as they point almost di-
rectly to the Polar Star in whatever
position the diprer happens to be To-
Gated. The one at the top is is known
as Dubhe, an Arabian word meaning
bear" The Chinese called this star
Heavens Pivot. 1t is located five de-
grees from the enc at the bottom
(Merak) and. if remembered, will be
a handy vard-stick in estimating Celes
tiaI distances. Dubhe is said to have
been utilised in the alignment of the
walls of the temple of Hather at Den
fderah about 5000 3. C. The star which
joins the handle on the Dipper is cal
led Megrez, the weak one, and is of
the third magnitude. The next one is
konwn as Aloith and is n double star.
One of the most important stars OF this
group is situated at the bend of the

Hioher Waues for Railway Men.

The board Of c0nciliation appointed
to consider the demands for higher
wages and better working conditions
presented by the employees OF the
British Columbia Electric Railway
company, which owns and operates the
street railway systems of Vancouver,
Victoria and New Westminster, and
several interurban electric lines, has
handed down a unanimous report. In
brief, the award recommends general
increase of 5 cents an hour and some
changes in working conditions. Some
of the latter were asked for by the
company and some by the men. The
award will probably be accepted by
both sides. peculiar feature is the
fact that the company offered as good
terms as the award provides for some
time before the cOncilation board was
appointed.
