Bemid]i, MInn; FAMOUS STAR GROUP. The Constellation Orion In Legend and Literature. The constellation Orion is mentioned it represented Horus, the young or ris- ing sun, in a boat surmounted by stars. closely followed by Sirius, which was shown as a cow. It has also been found sculptured on the walls of Thebes 5,000 years ago. And on the men of that early time it shone down from the same position and with the same brightness as it does on us today, a striking example of the unchange- | ableness of the heavens. From the days of the early Hindus to the present the constellation has for some reason horne always a stormy ¢haracter. Allusions to,its direful in- fluence are found everywhere -among the classic writers. Thus Milton wrote: ‘When with fierce winds Orlon arrived Hath vexed the Red sea coast. The loss of the Roman squadron in the first Punic war was ascribed to the fleets having sailed just after the ris- ing of Orion. The group has also been employed as a calendar sign. its morn- ing rising indicating the beginning of summer, its midnight rising the season of grape gathering and its early even- ing rising the arrival of winter, with its attendant storms. In recent times the group has always represented a great hunter or warrior. Its present title,came into Greek ronomy from the Euplrates and orviginally signified the light of heaven. BABY' TURTLES. They Know Just What to Do and Do It Without Guidance. Just so soon as a baby turtle emerges from the egg off he scuttles down to the sea. He has no one to teach him, no one to guide him. In his curious little brain there is implanted a streak of caution based upon the fact that until a certain period in his life his armor is soft and no defense against hungry fish, and he at once seeks the shelter in the tropical profusion of the gulf weed, which holds within its branching fronds an astonishing abun- dance of marine life. Here the young turtle feeds unmolested while his ar- mor undergoes the hardening process. Whatever the young sea turtle eats and wherever he eats it—facts not gen- erally ascertained—one thing is cer- tain, it agrees with him immensely. He leads a pleasant sort of life, bask- ing in the tropical sun and cruising leisurely "in the cool depths. Once he has attained the weight of twenty-five pounds. which usually oc- ' curs within the first year, the turtle is free from all danger After that uo fish or mammal, however ravenous. however well armed with teeth, inter- feres with. the turtle.
