1 ton from the stars within It's own system. It is one Of the rageSt and finest objects for small instruments.
 In Betelgeuze we have Q giant star with c diameter equal to about three hundred times that Of the sun and one which pours out energy at q rate Of more than a thousand times greater. Still greater in it's light and heat emission is bluish Rigel for our present data indicates that its luminosity is fifteen thousand times greater than that of the sun. Rigel is, in fact, the greatest of all the first magnitude stars in lunis nosity with the single exception of Canopus. To the eye of course Rigei Is Q more modest star; but that Is because of Its great distance which Is about five hundred and fifty light-years.
 The Geminl
 The two stars which have given rise to the name of this constella- ton, Castor and Pcllux, are the closet pair of equally bright stars of great brilliance in the sky; they are separated only by a distance of four and one-half degrees. Although the difference in brightness is very slight, Pollux is somewhat the brighter of the two. They are easily recognized by their unique appear ance and Castor lies somewhat near CT the north celestial pole. Tn ac. cordance with the system of stellar nomenclature in which the stars are given their constellation names pre- fixed by the letters of the Greek al- phabet in order of the stars bril- liancy In its own constellation, the brightest star of any given constel- lation is known as Alpha of that group in addition to any proper
 name which the star may have. Thus Sirius is also known as Alpha Canis Majoris and Vega as Alpha Lyrae while Polaris is Alpha Ursae Minoris. Tn Geniini, we find one of the rare exceptions to this rule, for Pollux, the brighter, is Beta GeIni- norurm while Castor is Alpha. This was done some three hundred years ago and today Pollux Is certainly the brighter. We cannot be sure wheth- CT Castor was the brighter of the two at that time or not but it seems likely that such a change in the rel- alive briiIiancy of the two stars has actually taken place. There are, however. in the sky several inten- tionaily made exceptions to this rule because of certain stars positions in their respective configurations. Of the two stars Castor is the more in. teresting. Tn a small telescope it can be seen as a double star and the ypectroscope reveals to us that each of these conaponents is itself 6 dou- ble star. We have thus Q system of four stars revolving in pairs about their common center of gravity. Furthermore, Castor has e small companion star which appears also to be a member of the system and. as this star is also a spectroscopic double, we have here system og six stars which form q single gravlta- tlonal unit. It takes the two bright sets about three hundred years to complete @ single revolution about their common center oe gravity and the dinner companion set revolves about 1le 6okraag ln Q pazAed exfenA.

CT than the zeroth magnitude, Brighter than Mars, is Jupiter which attainS oposition to the sun on the oth. It Is thus in view the entire night. It Is about six times aS bright as Mars but only about one- sixth as bright as Venus at It's brightest. Saturn, the Finged planet, also is on our map. Its brightness is almost equal to that of Mars. The ring system Is well open. ed to view from the earth but, Of course, Q telescope Is necessary for their observation.
 The Winter SOlstlcc
 On the 22nd at about i2:A6 c. m., eastern standard time, the sun will be on the winter solstice, It's furthest southern point and winter will of. tlcially commence. At this time the sun is said to enter the sign of Capricornus but 1t Is really in the constellation of Sagittarius, which lies along the zodiac west of Capri- cornuS.
 Orion the Hunter
 If poll were taken among anna. teur astronomers and other star- lovers, the constellation of Orion would undoubtedly be chosen as the most beautiful and interesting of all the many consultations in the sky. Because of It's unique appearance 1t Is easy to find and to remember at any time when 1t Is above the hori. zon. If you look toward the eastern horizon at map-time, you will see three bright stars of equal magnitude lying on straight line almost per- pendicular to the horizon. The middle star Is almost exactly half way between the outer two. As the sky turns westward the three stars will take up a position such that the imaginary line joining them will be horizontal, . This trio of stars forms the Sword Belt of the Hunter. To the north of the Belt is 6 bright reddish star called Betelgeuze and to the south of the Belt is an equally bright star of bluish-white color known as Rigel. A number of sec Ond magnitude stars, in addition to those of the Belt, and c host of lesser stars complete the constella- ton. Extending from the Belt fin

The season now is open
 For citrus fruits, they say, Florida is advertising big,
 The fruit is swell, they say. Oranges from the interior,
 Big ones from Indian River, Are full ripe on the trees,
 While up north we shiver. Down south where It's hot
 And the poinsettias bloom, It's Royal this and Royal that, But up north there's gloom At sight of shrivelled fruit,
 And what . price per dozen, How did they get that wayl Most Of them look frozen. The season now is open
 For citrus fruits oh yes, Oranges and grapefruit,
 And tangerines, guess. Florida is telling you
 Up here in the northern drouth, But looks like they are keeping Tho pick of the crop down south.
