lies Coma Berenices and on the eastern side of Bootes we find Cor ona Borealis followed by Hercules. The circlet of Corona stars is easily recognized and all the stars lying between Corona and the bluish- white star Vega belong in the con- stellation of Hercules. There are no very bright stars in the later group; the brightest is Alpha Her. cules, a reddish variable star of the third magnitude. It is really of tre- mendous absolute magnitude for its distance appears to be over three thousand light-years. Tn Hercules also lies the best known globular star cluster in the northern sky, Messie 13. This object lies almost on a staight line between Gamma, the bightest star in Corona, and Vega, in Lyra, and can be easily picked out with 8 small telescope or field> glass. Under good conditions of Ob- servation 1t may even be seen as a hay patch of light without the aid of any instrument. This cluster con- tains between fifty and a hundred thousand stars and is about thirty five thousand light-years away from us. Its dense central portion has Q diameter of about fifteen light years and the entire space that 1t occupies is probably more than a hundred light years across. There Is relative movement of the stars within the cluster while the entire grotp moves rapidly through space as single physical unit. The apex of the suns way or the point in the sky toward which the sun and the entire solar system are rushing lies within the area of Hercules not far from Vega.
 North of Coma Berencies, within the curve of the handle of the Great Dipper, lies rather interesting group of stars. This is the constel- lation Of the Hunting Dogs or Canes Venatici. It was originally a part of Ursa Major but was established as Q separate constellation early ir teh seventeenth century. Tnf brientesk star in this area was al one time called Cor Carroll in Eng. land: This means the Heart ol Charles and refers 10 the second king oK that name. Even q smal 1 telescope will show fhet this ! IfeaIlg 2 double steE, in which Qp'

Canes Venatici there is also a very fine double spiral nebula. The spirals are close together with their spiral arms curving in opposite di- rections, as if one were g mirror image of the other.
 Most Interesting Star
 Low down over the southeastern horizon at map-time. lies noe of the most interesting stars in the en- tire heavens, Antares, the brightest star in the constellation of Scorpio This is a giant star, a great ball of glowing gas, with 6 diameter of about three hundred and fifty times that of the sun. Tn miles this means that its diameter is about three hundred million miles as compared with eight hundred and sixty-four | thousand miles which is the approx innate diameter of the sun. Antares emits about sixteen hundred times as much light and heat as the sun It must be admitted, that there is some uncertainty as to the exact 1 figures but the above appears to be in accordance with late determina- tions. However. there is no doubt about the gigantic size of Antares as compared with the sun. It is not surprising that uncertainty should exist as to the exact distances oi the more distant stars as the prob le mis one of extreme dtfdculty and is close to the limit of present day Instrumental equipment and meth ods. We. have here, furthermore. a spectrcscOplc binary star for the spectroscope has shown that 1t is really 6 gravitational system of two stars which are too close together | to be seen as separate units even in the largest teeIscopes. Antares is the reddest of all the first-magni- tude stegB and owes It's name to thii fact fof its closely resembles in color the planet Mars.
