As the days continue to shorten And
clear nights become more frequent, the
evening skies with their numerous bril
liant constellations command more at
tention and many pleasant moments
spent in watching them.
While many wonders, if rightly un
derstood. can be seen with the naked
eye, additional beauties are unfolded
to the observer with an opera or Held
Blass, and many more to the telescope.
In all, there are sixty of the constella
tions. the brightest and most interest
ing of them being visible in the early
evening these December nights. Theso
constellations, or groups of stars, were
marked out by the ancients because
of fancied resemblances In outline to
some animal or thing, or an assumed
connection with some mythological per
sonage, and are simply used now us an
aid In memorizing the stars, whose ex
act positions are started in right ascen
sion and declination, similarly to lon
gitude and latitude on the earth. The
Chaldean shepherds as they sat on the
hillsides guarding their sheep, or the
astrologers In their towers, permitted
their imaginations to roam among the
atarry orbs and thus there are many
interesting legends in regard to their
various groups which space will not
permit me to detail.
Now’, if w’e will select an open apace
at about 0 o’clock some clear evening
during the present month and turn our
faces toward the north, perhaps the
first object of interest will be the “Milky
Way,” which extends across the sky
not quite'east and west and a little to
the north of the zenith. This is com
posed of millions of stars so dlatant or
so small that their light mingles in one
milky glimmer, and the separate stars
are only seen through a telescope. Our
sun la supposed to be one of the stars
in the immense ring-shaped group that
composes the milky way and is moving
toward the constellation Hercules. A
little to the west of the north and south
line and entirely enveloped In the milky
way we see Cassiopeia, a group of five
stars that looks like a crooked XV

Star passes the Imaginary line thnt the
sun crosses at the vernal equinox. Now
to locate the North Star we must find
Ursa Major, the big dipper. This" Is
the first group of stars above the hori
zon a little to the east ward of north.
The handle of the "Big Dipper” has a
Plight crook in it and is pointed west
ward and downward, while the two end
stars in the bowl away from the handle
point toward Polaris, the north star,
which is the first bright star upward
from them. It Is the end star in the
handle of the “Little Dipper,” which
can be easily traced. Returning to Cas
siopeia and following the milky way
westward, the next constellation la
Cygnus. the swan, with two second
magnitude stars situated at the center
and upper points of a rather irregular
cross with Its foot extending westward.
Northwest of this and not very far from
the horizon is Lyra, the lyre, with the
brilliant first magnitude star Vega.
This is one of the twenty brightest stars
and is situated at a distance from the
earth of about twenty-four light years,
or approximately 14,105,176,320,000 miles.
Northeast of It, not far distant, is a
fourth magnitude star which appears
slightly elongated to the naked eye, and
with an opera glass as double. In real
ity it is a system of seven or more suns,
four of them revolving about each
other In pairs, taking many centuries
for n complete revolution.
Between Lyra and Ursa Minor is
Draco and between Draco and Cassio
peia, Cephus, neither of which have
any very bright stars. Turning our at
tention again to Cassiopola and follow
ing the milky way eastward we come
to Perseus, lying on its northern edge,
and which contains the wonderful va
riable star Algol, a star which remains
of the second magnitude for two and
a half days and then decreases In four
an one-half hours to the fourth mag
nitude, increasing again in the next
four and one-half hours. This, the spec
troscope tells us, Is caused by a dark
companion revolving above it which
couts off some of |tt» light when it
passes in front. Next to the eastward
and on the other edge of tho milky way
is Auriga, a kite shaped figure with the
first magnitude stnr Capella at one cor
ner. Nearer to the horizon and a little
to the. north are the two Mars Castor
and Pollux of the constellation Gemini,
the Twins, of ajmost equal brightness.
Now turning to the southeast wo see
almost on the horizon. Sirius, the dog
star, nnd the brightest In the heavens,
lying in Canls Major. Above It, Orion,
tho mighty huntsman, his girdlo of
three stars directed east and w.est, his
head of three atari In a small triangle
to the north, the red first magnitude
star Betelgeux in his right shoulder
and Rigel, in his left foot, while his
sword hang* from his girdle. This is an
interesting constellation in several re
spect# for the stars that compose Its
middle portion seem to be more or less
related to each other in formation and.
a# shown by photography enveloped In
a nebulous gas. The middle star In the
sword, seen to the eye a# a hazy spot,
develops oven In a spy glass info a dis
tinct structure, the Great Nebula of
Orion. A little to the northwest of Ori
on I» a small V shaped group of stars
with the bright red star Aldebaran at
the end of one arm of the V. These are
the’Hyados, and not far to the west
ward from them are the Pleiades, a
star cluster in which seven stars are
ordinarily seen but which shows eleven
to exceptional eyesight on a very clear
evening. The constellations Aries, Pis
ces. Andromeda, and Pegasus follow in
order west of the Pleiades, while Lepus,
below Orion, Eridanus, Cetus and
Aquarius are just above the southern
horizon but have no particularly bright
stars and only casual Interest.
JOHN R. WEEKS.
Every year the i
rose, as a special
either to a crowned head or to a town j
or church, and the ceremony of blessing
the rose has long been an imposing J
event. , , _ ti ,
It cannot be ascertained definitely
when this ceremony was first observed |
by the Roman Catholic church. It Is
maintained that the custom arose dur
ing the pontificate pf Pope Leo. IX.,
who was born In 1002, In the castle of
Eglshelm, in Alsace, and was elected
to the clmlr of St. Peter In 1048.
Some historians consider it of much
earlier origin. When, during the Mid
dle Ages, the pope resided in the Lat-
eran, he was wont to ride after the
ceremony in a gorgeous procession,and,
accompanied by tho entire college of
cardinals, to the Bastlllca of the Holy
Cross of Jerusalem, and he held the
symbolical flower in Ills hand all the
way. In the Basilica the pope delivered
an address upon the mystical meaning
of the rose, us portrayed by its beauty,
color and perfume, and then the high
mass was celebrated. When the mass
was at an end. the pope returned to his
palace in the Lnteran, still carrying the
mystical flower. If a royal prince hap
pened to have taken part In the pro
cession, It was incumbent upon him to
approach the pope on his arrival in the
Lateran and to Jiold his stirrup and
thus assist him to dismount. Then, as
a reward for his kindly attention, the
pope gave him tho rose.
Although the ceremony as observed
nowadays Is not so imposing as It used
to be. of yore, yet it still preserves its
chief rites. The -pontiff blesses the
“Golden Rose” in the Paramont hall,
and he wears ti pink chasuble and tho
white mitre, which contains no precious
stones.
Every New Year’s day the Jeweler of
the papal court receives the order to
make the rose, and the pope's master
of the household gives him the precious
stones which are to adorn it ami which
the pontiff has himself previously cho
sen from nmong the jewels. Tho cere
mony of blessing tho ’'Golden Rose”
takes place on the fourth Sunday In
Lent, and then tho popo sees It for tho
first time; ho takes hold of it in his
hands to look at It; then he kneels and
begins the ceremony with prayer. The
address subsequently delivered was
drawn up by Pope Leo IX. in 1050.
After the prescribed prayers have,
been said the pope anoints the rose with
the holy oil, and, in accordance with
ancient custom, scatters over It a
strogly scented powder. Tho moment
for celebrating high mass having ar
rived, the pope enters the chapel, nnd
carries tho rose. Hero ho hands the
flower to an attendant, who places it
upon tho altar on a bouquet of golden
roses.
When tho mass Is finished the rose is
handed to tho Pope, and accompanied
by his suite he returns to the paramont
hall, where he mentions by name the
