a representation of our sun and planets
very near the same plane with the sun,
and this plane or path is called the eclip-
tic, because eclipses can only happen IN
it. The planets revolve on their axes
from right to left, and in their orbits
from right to left, the reverse from the
hands of a clock.
Standing at the north or. south poles
of the earth, if il were possible, at the
time of an equinox, we would see the
sun and planets swinging in circles
about the horizon instead of rising in the
east and setting in the west, and all to
be situated in the same plane with the
earth. This would make the ecliptic
easy to understand.
But is it any wonder that the Egyp-

considerable time the face appears.
But the one feature of great curiosity
to the Egyptian shepherds in these night
ly vigils was that one star alone, way
in the north, never changed its position.
This they called the Pole star, and all
the stars in the north above the horizon
swung in circles about this star. Those
on the horizon directly north in the even
