western half of which is often called the
Sickle. One of the most remarkable pe
culiai ities of this group is the large num
bcr of double stars which it contains
though unfortunately most of these are
not visible in a very small telescope.
This is the best time of the year to trace
out the whole of the constellation Ursa
Major, or the Great Dipper, for the giant
southern half of this large group is well
up in the sky. Among these stars many
beautiful doubles will be found with a
small telescope.
THE PLANETS.
Jupiter, the most beautiful of all the
planets, is so rapidly drawing near the
sun that it will not be visible mucl
longer. In a small telescope the enoi
inous ball, more than 80,000 miles in di
ameter, is seen to be encircled by numer
ous greenish and rosecolored bands, while
near by are the four bright moons. The
planet turns completely around in less
than four hours, and the moons move
around the planet with great rapidity, so
that even from hour to hour the appear
ance of the system is constantly chang
ing.
in 1897 Prof. Barnard, then of the Lick
observatory, announced the discovery of
a lifth moon to Jupiter, an excessively
faint little attendant, which is nearer to
the planet than any of the other four.
And on January 4, 1905, the news was
telegraphed from the same observatory
that a sixth satellite had been discovered.
The new moon is of the fourteenth mag
nitude, and is hence exceedingly faint. It
is further away from the planet than any
of the others, and it is very remarkable
that it revolves about the planet in an op
posite direction from that of the other
satellites. In this it resembles the recent
ly discovered ninth satellite of Saturn. Jt
is exceedingly probable from this retro
grade motion that the new moon did not
originally belong to the system, but was
captured, just as comets are sometimes
captured and forced to move around the
sun.
Venus is now the most brilliant object
of the sky, and it will grow continually
brighter during the month. On the loth
it will look like the moon when about five
days old, but by the.'Hst it will be a very
narrow crescent.
Neptune is in the constellation (Jemini,
in most excellent position for observation
with a small-sized telescope.
Saturn has passed beyond the sun and
cannot be seen, while Mars still rises too
late in the evening and is too far from
the earth to be satisfactorily observed.
ANNUAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.
The astronomical event of the year will
he the total eclipse of the. sun, which will
occur on August 30. Meanwhile, on
-March 5, a so-called (annular) eclipse
will occur, but this will not be visible in
America. During an annular eclipse the
moon does not entirely hide the sun, be
cause the black disc of the moon is
nailer than that of the sun.

The Holly Inn is one of the most attractive hotels in the South. Since it was
built in 1895, it has been necessary to enlarge it several times to meet the constantly
increasing demand. The interior is elegant, cheerful and tasteful. No modern con
venience is lacking. There are bath rooms, electric lights, steam heat and open
fireplaces. There is a call bell in every room, and all beds are furnished with best
hair mattresses. An orchestra furnishes fine concerts daily, and also provides for
dancing. The cuisine is unsurpassed.- The waitresses are all white girls from the
North. Booms for billiards and other games are provided in the hotel.
