THE STARRY SKIES IN OCTOBER
By Professor Barton of the University of Pennsylvania

The brilliant stars of Arcturus and An tares are no longer seen on our map, as they have been carried from view by the progress of the seasons. The popu- lar group, the Pleiades at A and tho bright star Aldebaran at B. just appear ing above the eastern horizon. are nar- Dingers of the colder seasons of the year The Great Dipper is now in an in- conspicuous position low in the north Fomalhaut a C, the southernmost first magnitude star ever visible here, is now at it's best in the south. Some of the stars farther south can be seen from the sttaes in the extreme south.
 In all there are forty stars in the heaV- ens which arc brighter than the second magnitude Ten of these are too far south to be seen in the United States, excepting exetreme points. The October map contain but eleven of these. which is fewer than is contained on the map Of any other month. These are Vega at D, Capella at E, Altair at F, Aldebaran at c. Beta Tauri or Nath at H, Alpha Persei at 1 and three stars of the Bis Dipper. It may be noticed that most of these lie near the horizon and are thus not as bright as they would be if high in the sky It is also true that there are no planets visible. As the darkest hour precede the dawn, so tue faintness of the october sky precedes the brightness of the sky in the months which follow, for the number of bright stars bisible in December and the months which fololw is twice as great as now The sky after midnight will have twice as many bright stars as does the map, which is for clock.
 THE PLANETS
 There are no bright plants which are conspicuous Venus can pe seen low in the west in the evening twilight. Jupiter can be seen in the east in the morning twilight Mercury also will be visible in the cast in the morning twilight for q few mornings about october 9. Uranus alone lies within the region of our map. Its position is marked In Aquarius. It cannot be seen with the naked eye Mars is ntill visible low in the south- west At the first of the month it is in a portion of Ophiuchus not shown on our map At the end of the month it is at the position marked K It may be well to explain my statement that Mars is in the constellation of Ophiuchus. The sun, moon and planets all move in paths which lie near the eciptic, the position of which is marked the map Fig. l. For this reason this part of the sky is particularly important. The zone which extends degrees to each side of the ecliptic is called the Zodiac. The Zo- diac is subdivided into twelve equal parts called the signs of the Zodiac These sigs are named with the same names as the twelve cancellations along the ecliptic When named the signs and consultations were nearly coincident, but the procession of the equnoxes has now separated them. While the ewelve signs fill the entire Zodiac, the twelve eonstel- lations do not, and although q planet

 THE STAR CLUSTERS
 It is a well-known fact that star clus' ters are more numerous near the Mllky Way than elsewhere, while with nepu lac the oposite is true. In Figue the location of 34 star clusters, said to be visible in S-inch telescope in the region of the sky contained in Figure l. is shown. A comparison of the tive figures shows very strikingly that these clusters are nearly all in the MILKY Way. The position of the Milky Way could easily be told by merely exam ming the positions of the clusters.
 TEMPLES COMET
 Late in July Tempe1's second periodic but not in 1915
 With the notable exception of Encke' s this is the comet of shortest period known and moves about the sun in small orbit not reaching out as far as the orbit of Jupiter This orbit IS shown in Figure 3. The giant planet Jupiter has captured many comets and caused them to remain in the solar sys- tenn The fact that the outer end oi the comets orbit lies near Jupiter S orbit shows Jupiter's influence. This COfIiot IS one OI the lHOSt DiipVA ep'iN VI Jupiter's family.
 THE NEW STAR
 On August 21 announcement was made that Denning. in England, had dIs- covered a new star located in the con stellation Cygnus. Unfortunately. this was too late for discussion in the Sep tember article This star is in the DO sition marked L in Figure l. By new star is meant a star which appears where before no star, or perhaps far- fainter star, was seen. Temporary stars or novae are other names for such objects Astronomers know this ob- iect as Nova Cygni No. 3, meaning tha, it is the third nova which has appeared in the constellation Cygnus. The firs' appeared at NJ in 1660 and the second al in 1876. Both were as bright as the third magnitude On examining the photograph of the region about I. made on August 9, it was found that no staI as bright as 95 magnitude was present in the position of the new star, for the plate would show stars that faint Or August 19 the star was present of A magnitude On August 2 it was 2.S magnitude It increased in brightnes; to 19 magnitude on August 2 and ther the time this is read it will probably h' began to fade out as such stars do- Bl invisible to the naked eye.
 About 40 such stars have been ob served and recorded. Tn earlier time' only the bright ones were seen. Now when the sky is photographed fainte ones are found. Most of the recent dis coveries have been found upon examina ton of photographs of the same regiol taken at different times. In this wa, the star may have disappeared befor it's existence was discovered. It~can b seen that the appearance of new star l or at least their detection. has not beel | a common event.

Mfrshal Foch, who today is to be
presented with magnificent baton by
a delegation representing the knights
of Columbus in America, was the SUI
preme commander of the allies forces
in the final period of the World War
Prior to, his selection for this impor-
tant post he had distinguished himself
as one of the mst brilliant French
commanders in the war. The great
victory of the battle of the Marine was
largely due to his strategical genius
He was the chief director of the bat
ties of Ypres and TO the Iser, and the
safety of Calais was largel ydue to
him. In 1915 he was in commany OF
the offensive in Artois, and of the
Somme fighting in 1916. AS a boy of
10, the future Marshal of France
fought in the Franco-Prussian war,
and afterward returned to take up his
studies at the Ecole Polytechnique. As
evidence by his record in the late war
Marshal Foch combines great practical
ability in the field with a deep knowl-
edge of strategy and of military
theory.

In making an order that, when
crossing a bridge, regiment of sol
diers must break step, the military au-
thorities are actuated by the vibratory
dangers which would arise if the men
marched across in step. The tramp OF
the regulation step would cause a hevy
wave of vibrational force to travel
along the length o fthe bridge. This
force would grow stronger as the men
marched, and soon the bridge would
be heaving up and down with dan
gerous possibility of collapsing.

MOVEMENT TO STOP
 GAMING GIRL PUPILS

LONDON, July 27 (by Associated Press) Gaming of girl pupils in ele- CTS, a practice which has been gen. eral in England for many years, re- gently has become the subject of much criticism and the Daily Mail has started an agitation for it's aban- donment. Many letters have been written the newspapers, the majority of the writers advocating infliction of corporal punishment of girls, when necessary, by women teachers. They protest that sensitive girl may never fully recover from the shame of be- ing caned by a man.
 The Lord Mayor of Bristol who had 30 years experience as headmaster of a school, said he knew the practice of men administering corporal punish ment to girls was common, but he was opposed to it.
