This is not from any fault of the draftsman, but from the fact that the stars happen to be arranged that way. For this part of the sky actually contains more brilliant stars than any similar area. The maps show the skies as they appear around 10 o'clock on the evening of Jan. 1, an hour earlier at the middle of the month and two hours earlier at the end. Perhaps the best group to start with is that of Orion, the warrior, characterized by the three stars in a row form- ing his belt. Above the belt is Betelgeuse, whose name is marked, and Bellatrix (just under the I in Orion) which are supposed to indicate the shoulders. The two bright stars below the belt—Rigel, and Saiph, to the left—are in his legs. : The curved row of stars to the right of the name form an upraised club which he uses to defend himself from charging Taurus, the bull, next constellation to the right. Here we find the bright star Aldebaran, marking the animal’s eye, and the V-shaped group called the Hyades which forms his face. To the right, in his shoulder, is the little cluster of fainter stars we call the Pleiades. Following Orion are two dogs, Canis Major and Canis Minor. The MAJOR ibis coLfiMBIA WEST » 3% % o e SYMBOLS FOR STARS IN ORDER OF BRIGHTNESS greater dog is lower, and contains Sirius, the ‘‘dog-star,” brightest of all the stars visible in the night sky. The lesser dog, above, is marked by another brilliant star, Procyon. Still higher, and toward the east, we come to Gemini, the twins, with Castor and Pollux, the latter of the first magnitude. And almost overhead is another of the first magnitude, Capella, in Auriga, the charioteer. Just a little to the west of Auriga is the constellation of Perseus, the champion. Below Perseus, toward the west, is Andromeda, the princess he rescued in an old story of mythology. And below this group is Pegasus, the winged horse. @ This is not a very good month for planets, and none are marked on our maps. Venus, which has been so brilliant in the western twilight recently, can still be glimpsed low in the west after sunset at the beginning of January, though later it will disappear. On the 31st it will be in the same direction as the sun. Saturn rises about 11 around Jan. 1, in Leo, the lion, part of which is shown on our maps low in the east. Leo is followed by Virgo, the virgin, and this group is the present location of Mars, which appears by 1 a.m. Mercury is farthest east of the sun at the beginning of the month, and remains in the sky after sunset, but it will be hard to locate. Jupiter is too nearly in the direction of the sun to be seen. 4 EAST “Jace South $ Giant Redwoods Grow In State But Those Here Are Youngsters Sequoia trees are growing here in Pennsylvania, the Department of Forests and Waters has revealed. Ordinarily associated with Cali- fornia and the American West Coast, the giant Sequoia (Sequoia Gigantia) has apparently found favorable growing conditions in this state. Scores of them have been re- ported to the Department of For- ests and Waters, Most of the trees are in a healthy, thriving condi- tion. Don’t expect, however, to drive through a tunnel hewn from the base of one of these forest giants as California travel folders show. Pennsylvania Sequoias are just jun- ior editions of their western broth- ers. The largest Sequoia growing in the state, District Foresters be- lieve, is located about three miles northwest of Lima, in Delaware County, not far from Philadelphia. Planted sometime between 1825 and 1869, this tree is now 48 feet high and nearly three feet in di- ameter, four feet above the ground. Its bark is three inches thick, for- esters report, The Sequoia growing at Lima was struck by lightning several years ago, but lightning rods have since been installed to prevent fur- ther destruction by a lightning bolt, Building Prospects Good Lumber dealers, contractors and wr A Merry Christmas «== the trade journals are anticipating the greatest building boom in the history of the country during the coming year.
