No “Fixed Stars”
The positions of the stars with
reference to one another seem to ree
main constant, although they are cons
tinually changing thelr places relative
1, to objects on the earth. Hence the
term “fixed stars,” But this 1a only
seemingly the proper expression. In
reality all are speeding through space
at very high velocities, but so indefl
nitely removed are the stars from us
that they appear to be at rest. Al
though quite the reverse, as we know,
from fixed, the term is still used, be-
cause in the astronomically brief per
fod from generation to generation, the
changes are so slight that the naked
eye is powerless to detect them.
Pretty Greek Legend
In Greek mythology Narcissus was
a beautiful youth, a son of Cephissus
and the nymph Litiope, metamor
phosed into a flower, For his insensi
bility to love he wns caused by Nem:
esis to fall in love with his own im

age reflected In water. Unable to
grasp this shadow, he pined away and
became the flower which bears his
name. The nymph Echo, who vainly
loved him, died from grief.
Talking Parrots
The Mexican double yellow bead is
probably the best talking bird smong
American parrots. This Is probably
equal to the African gray, which is
the Oid world favorite. Parrots mast
