nshape" Of the sky.

What is the apparent form of the
vault of the sky? There Is probably
no one TO whose eyes it seems a true
hemisphere. with its zenith appearing
as distant as the horizon. At sea,
or in fiat country, the seeming
greater distance of the horizon is best
shown. One authority. in discussing
this question. reaches the conclusion
that the form of the vault, in vertical
section, Is that of the segment of a
circle. the arc of which subtends at
the center an angle of the order Of
40 degrees. If the reader will draw
such a segment. he may be surprised
by the amount of fiattening. which is
thus ascribed to the sky. From this
optical illusion many curious effects
arise. such as the seeming increased
magnitude of the sun and moon when
near the horizon. and the apparently
oval form of halos and coronas seen
at low attitudes.

pIee Used by the AncIents.

Dice. in some form or other. have
existed in every period of history and
in every nation. They are depicted
on the early Egyptian monuments, and
those excavated at Thebes are very
similar to the dice made today. Their
use is attested by laws regulating the
games played with them in ancient
Greece and Rome. as well as in most
European countries.
The invention of dice is attributed
to Palamedes. about 1914 B. c. But
the use of cubes with numbered sides
for gambling purposes is probably
much earlier.
The Latin word for dice, tesserae.
is derived from the Greek tesseres.
Ionic for tessares, four, because it is
on every side square. Frequent pas
sages in the works of ancient writer's
and numerous representations in
marble and paintings show how pop
ular dice playing was among them.
