ended in that beautiful but vain
queen being turned into a group Of
stars by Father Neptune.
The Greeks, however. did vest
Cepheus with a considerable reputa
ton. According to one legend. he
was one Of the band Of 40 or so in
trepid heroes who accompanied ia
son in the quest for the golden fleece.
This legend tells that two royal
children. Phrixus and Helle. were
about to be sacrificed TO the chief
god. Jupiter. Their mother rescued
them and they We're carried to Col.
CHS on the Black Sea on the back
of a golden ram. But on the journey
Helle fell into the sea and was
/ drowned. That part of the sea Is
| still called the Hellespont after her.
The fleece Of the ram was subse-
quently given TO the king of Colchis,
who hung it in a pleasant little
grove but left a dragon to guard It,
Now King Peleas Of Iolcus feared
his nephew. Jason. and so he com
manded Jason 10 bring him the
! golden fleece, hoping that Jason
would be killed IN the attempt.
So Jason gathered his band Of
heroes, of which King Cepheus IS
/ supposed TO have been one.
They built themselves a wooden
ship called the Argo. For this rea-
son Jason and his companions We're
called the Agonauts.
On their way to Colchis. Jason
and his band had many strange ad-
ventures and visited many strange
places.
Among them was Iemnos where
/ Jason found state Of women only
| the women having murdered all
! the men in the country some time
! before.
! But apparently the women were
not confirmed man-haters. despite
this strenuous action, for the legend
recounts a love affair between ia
son and the Queen of Lemnos.
Eventually Jason and his band ar
rived at Colchis and demanded the
golden fleece of King Aetes of Col
CHS
Aetes demanded that Jason yoke
oxen which breathed with fire and
had hoofs Of brass. Next, Jason
was TO pillow n field with them and
then SOW dragons teeth given to
him. These dragons teeth imme-
diately would grow into armed men
which Jason would have to fight.
But with the aid of the kings
| daughter who was a sorceress, and
who had fallen in love with Jason,
he accomplished all these tasks.
She also helped him steal the gold
en- fleece Together Jason and
Medea started away in the Argo.
King Aetes gave pursuit. But
Medea killed her brother and scat
tered the pieces upon the sea. Aetes
stopped to gather them up in order
that the body might be given proper
| burial. AS a result Jason escaped
with the fleece.
There are other legends connected
with the constellation Cepheus.
Some authorities have attempted to
identify Cepheus with the Egyptian.
Cheops, the builder of the Great
| Pyramid.
The constellation is very old one,
having been known tc the Chaldeans
in 1900 B. C.

What causes the green color

in plants, and what is 1t for?
Chlorophyi is the green ooloring
matter. It Is formed in the exposed
parts of plants, color1ng certain def
mite portions of the protoplasm, the
coloring substance proper being the
chlorophyl pigment, and the proto-
plasrnio bodies thus color the chloro-
phyl or grains. The functions of
chlorophyl consist in the absorption
and decomposition Of carbon dioxtde
gas, resulting in the evolution of
oxygen and the formation of new or
ganic substance The action takes
place only in sunlight.
