Urbana, III, Mar i. Pl-Early in the evening in March the Big Dip per may be seen high in the north east balancing on it's handle. Every one knows this figure outlined by seven bright stars; but many people have not noticed the stars that go with it to form Ursa Major, the Great Bear.
 To find the star at the tip of her nose direct line upward across the open part Of the bowl and two lengths beyond. About one length of the bowl 10 the right Of this point is a pair of stars marking one Of the bears front paws. Two other pairs to the right and below locate other feet. while the fourth foot has to be ina gined.
 Most observers find if q severe test of the imagination 10 picture such creature here in the sky. Nevertheless for at least 5000 years this group Of stars has been known as the Bear, and the far north country as the region of the Bear. We name 1t Arctic, from the Greek word meaning Bear.
New Britain herald., 1928-03-01

This apparent circling of the Bear and he rest of the celestial scenery is produced by the earth's motions. But the stars themselves are moving through space, each one independently like a ship in the ocean. The stars of the Dipper. with two exceptions. are like fleet Of ships, for they move in the same direction. Astronomers call it a moving cluster.
 Curiously enough certain stars in the southern sky including the Dog Star, belong to this fleet. We are now In its midst, though not a part of it. Millions of years hence this widely dispersed group will have receded into the distance, gradual ly drawing together in perspective into a tiny cluster of stars.
