saw for the first time the four satel- lites, and his discovery ended. He continued to observe the positions until the end of March.
 To those familiar with these bodies it seems strange that he should not have seen tho four at the same time earlier. They may be seen about three-fourths of the time. The explanation, no doubt, is that one happened each time to be close to the planet, and hence not visible in his small telescope.
 From the days of Calico these bodies visible in the smallest telescopes have had the admiration of those who have seen them. Five more satellites are now known to be moving about Jupiter. but these, five are so very faint that to see them taxes the powers of the largest ex- sting telescopes. The four bright ones the Galilean satellites. as they are known are in class by themselves, both in respect to Jupiters satellites and those or other planets.
 In the days of Calico. however. tho interest in Jupiter satellites was of a different kind It is almost impossible for us to realize now how important this discovery was in his day. They were the first satellites known; in fact. even the word satellite was yet to be formed. antl the word telescope, too. Calico called the bodies of the Medicean planets in honor of his patron. It was still pretty generally believed, as taught by Ptolemy, that sun, moon and planets revolved

WHY YEAST
 BUILDS FLESH
Thousands Stay Thin on Or dinary Foods, Because They Lack Vitamines-Now Ob- tainable in Tablet Form.

No matter how heartily we eat, if cer- tain all important elements. called vita mines, are lacking in our diet, we will be under -nourished. Only in the last few years have these elements been known, and now scientists recognize that neaply all cases of aneamia, emu rasthenia symptoms and rundown con dition are simply due to lack of vita mines in the body. Nearly all modern foods contain very few vitamines. And yet we must have constant supply of these miraculous little organisms (which alone are so essential to health and vitality. And now it has been dis covered that a small quantity of ordi- nary yeast, taken regularly, will supply all the vitamines needed for glowing health Added to the diet. yeast makes old people younger restores energy and normal weight to the thin and run down. and has wonderfully beneficial effect on growing children. Yeast also clears up bad pimply compleXions and banshes boils.
 "The Miracle of Yeast is still a new thing to most people. but yeast's amaz- ing value as a health builder has been proven beyond doubt by numberless ex- periments in great medical institutions. The real problem of scientists has been to obtain just the correct form of yeast This is known to be brewers yeast. The common yeast cake Is ineffective be- cause it is only about 20 per cent yeast and the rest starch and water.
 At last the perfect yeast combination, highest in strength, has been worked out by famous chemists. It is a concentrated vitamine tablet prepared from brewers yeast and certain relia- ble tonics such as iron. which increase the effect of yeast itself These tablets are called IRON1zED YEAST and are sold by nearly all druggists. IRONIZED YEAST tablets are the approved vita mine tonic treatment, put up in con- venient size to carry in@ the pocket They are pleasant to take and do not nauseate. IRONIZED YEAST tablets cost but trifle more to the dose than the common yeast cake (only 10 cents q day) and are much more effective Try a package today. You will notice the benefit before you finish the first few days treatment. Special directions for children's use are in each package

THE STARRY SKIES LN MAY
By PROFESSOR BARTON f the University of Pennsylvania

The bright winter consultations have now disappeared from our map. to be replaced by the fainter summer con- stellations coming up in the east. The great dipper is now almost overhead and the little dipper, Ursa Minor, is well above the pole.
 While Ursa Major, "the big dipper," is the best known constellation, it Is surrounded on nearly every side by constellations which are faint and among the least widely known. These, too, are well located now. Just south of the handle of the dipper is Canes Venatici. It contains IS stars visible to the naked eye. It is hest known by reason of the fact that the great spiral nebula called the Whirlpool Nebula is located in it. This spiral nebula is the finest of its class. It shows well, how ever, only when photographed with q long exposure. Just south of Canes Venatici lies Coma Berenices, con centrated group of faint stars, 20 of them being visible to the naked eye West of this just above Leo, is Leo Minor with IS naked eye stars. West of this is Lynx with 2S naked eye stars. This constellation was invented by Hevelius in 1890. He said the name was given to 1t because only lynx eyed person could see it. It Is full of a fine triple star.
 On another side of Ursa Major we find Cameleopardals with ss naked eye stars. This is not now in good position. Other constellation sur rounding Ursa Major are Draco. Bootes and Leo. These are better known. Draco is faint. Leo and Bootes have only small parts of them joining Ursa Major and their brighter stars are dis fa, IT.. J-- : by consultations which are decidedly faint This no doubt makes 1t more conspicuous than it would be other wise
 Venus. which has been conspicuous as an evening star, is now equally con spicuous as morning star. It is brightest May 2S. It is visible in the east before sunrise.
 JUPITER SATELLITES
 The telescope is believed to have been invented first by Lippershey in 1908 In 1909 Calico learned that such an in- strument had been made but no more. He then tried to reason out the means by which 1t would be possible to see distant objects and soon solved the problem and made a telescope His first telescope magnifed only three times, but in short time he made one which magnified 32 times. He made many telescopes with his own hands. Calico did more than make telescopes; he used his telescopes to study the heavenly bodies. He was the first to use the telescope as an astronomical instrument Naturally he turned his telescope on the moon and planets first. The power of three showed little. At o'clock in the morning of January 7. 1910, he turned his higher power tele- scope on Jupiter. He saw the disc of the planet and three stars near it. as shown in Figure 2. The stars were nearly in a straight line and rather striking in appearance, but Calico thought of them merely as stars which Happened to be so arranged. For no particular reason he turned his teie- scope on Jupiter again the next night What he saw is shown, in Figure ?. The three stars were now all on the same
