PIPING'S approach finds
the winter constellations
steadily sinking lower
and lower in the western
heavens. The brilliant
group Taurus with the
Pleiades and Ilyades have now drawn so
is but a small particle, as it were but a
grain of dust in the immensity of space.
The celestial sphere surrounds it on all
sides, below ns well as above. In the
nighttime we see but half of this sphere,
that is, the half which is above the
ground, but were the earth transparent
so that we could look down through the
ground, and were the light of the sun
blotted out, we should see ourselves sur
rounded by stars in every direction ; that
is, we should see the entire celestial
sphere with all' of the constellations at
once, both those of summer and of win
ter. The half of the celestial sphere which
is above the ground in the daytime is in
visible to us simply because of the over
powering brightness of the sun; when

eclipse or by descent into a deep mine or

the horizon for only a few hours after
sunset, the magnificent Orion is low in
the southwest, and the milky way, which
mid-winter formed a beautiful arch
passing exactly overhead, now lies much
nearer the ground in the west and is far
less conspicuous than it has been.
This gradual transformation of the face
of the sky as the months pass away is
most interesting and impressive. Prob-
ibly every one has noticed that the stars
which are visible in winter are not the
same as those which are seen in summer,
or at least that certain groups of the
milky way are sometimes visible and
sometimes not. The reason whv this is
o is not nearly so generally known, how
ever, ana yet the explanation is verv
simple.
It should be remembered that the earth
otherwise the stars become visible even
in the daytime.
THE LATE WINTER STARS.
The constellation Cancer, or the Crab,
which is just cast of Gemini, is one of the
faintest constellations of the zodiac, and
was hence called in ancient times the
Dark Sign and quaintly described as
black and without eyes. Yet few groups
have been the subjects of more attention,
for astrological ly it was imagined to be
of great importance. To the Chaldeans
it was the Gate of Men, through which
souls descended from heaven into human
bodies, while in general it was considered"
a constellation of misfortune and ill
omen. ;
To the east of the Cancer is the beaut i
ful constellation Leo, or the Lion, tho
