If the marines kept in Haiti just few more per-

The American marines therefore, kept in HAITI not

THE NORTH STAR : By Garrett P. Serviss

The two outside stars in the
bowl point upward, and Il you
follow the direction indicated by
them to b point nearly half way
to the zenith your eye will be
guiding line. On account OF this
these two stars in the Dipper"
are known as 1.-THE Pointers.
Your little boy may like to know
their names. The name of the
lower one is Mirak, and that OF
the upper one Dubhe.
These names are derived from
the language Of the Arabs, who
were great star gazers. With a
little attention you will also per.
ceive that the North Star is at
the outer end of the handle of a
smaller, less conspicuous clipper"
whose bowl contains a star
about as bright as the North
Star. At the hour and date
have mentioned this will be seen
to the left of and lower than the
North Star, but as the evening
goes on you will find it. together
with all the other stars, appar-
emily turning around the North
Star, and about midnight 1t will
be directly under that star.
The North Star is a sun many
times brighter than our sun, but
two and a half million times as
far away, so that its relative
faintness Is due to its enormous
distance.

A DETROIT reader writes:
"A my little boy asked me
the other evening, Dad, which is
the Northern Star? He read
somewhere that it was a guiding
star. and so forth. And / con-
fess / was never able to isolate
her out OF the other stars. When
I go home, usually about 1
o'clock a. M, see a bright star

other stars. but nothing con.

I will do my best to make you
and your little boy acquainted
with the North Star, which we
in English keep in the neuter
gender, together with the other
stars, though the majority Of CIV
ilized languages are against us on
that point. The object you saw
in the east, about l a. m. the
latter part Of September, may
have been the planet Mars. which
is bright, with a rudy hue, and
now rises much earlier. But at
any rate the North Star is truly
in the north, and high up in the
sky. You will see it as far above
the northern horizon as Detroit
is north of the equator. !. g.
about az degrees, which places. 1t
almost halfway from the horizon
to the zenith, or point overhead.
1t Is a star of the second mag
nitude, brighter than most stars
in that part of the sky. Unlike
any other fairly bright star, you
can see it in the same position
all night long and il the blue
curtain of the daylight sky could
be drawn aside, you would still
find the North Star on it's post
all day long. If you watch long
enough you will see that all the
other stars in the north seem to
travel slowly around the North
Star as a center. Those above 1t
move from right to left; those
below from left to right.
Directly Over Pole
This apparent motion arises
from the rotation of the earth on
its axis, the North Star being
situated almost exactly over the
North Pole Of the earth, !. e., over
the northern end of the axis
around which the earth turns
once every twenty-four hours. 1t
is because of it's steady position
above the North Pole that this
star possesses its great distinc-

to manage their own affairs. and
settle their own quarrels. Usually
they will settle them with neat
ness and dispatch, If they're left

young thing-be 1t puppy or hui

audience. Given the audience
they will produce melodrama and

sister with her annual bust up.
Not only does the family in
reference prolong squabbles, but
II also blinds the participants to
the true results of such squabble.
-"Well, If he isn't good to me
