B0 the dry, empty af here of & clear Winter night is perfection for see- ing the stars, and, of all the apectacies in_nature, the Winter heavens are de- cidedly the grandest, in the thoughts that inevitably they inspire. To be sure, I once saw the Northern Lights in all their E"y' on & date fa- mous in the annals of the Aurora Borealit, August 13, 1919, on the sum- mit of Mount Washington. But in the surora lurks something supernatural and rather terrible; the terrible element of the stars is fortunately hidden from us; even telescopes do not enable us to ®ee the reeling suns of space, with tongues of flame s million miles long, though I have heard it proposed that the radio might enable us to hear the roar of the flames in the furnaces of our own private little sun. I shall not be “listefing in" when that is broad- cast, howgver. Most of us are content:enough to learn a few of the .constellatiohs and count ourselves wise if we can identify two or three planets and as many of the fixed stars. Although astronomy left the study of constellations as such 'way back in the middle ages, having more precise methods of subdividing the heavens, the mere mortal without the superhuman extension of a telescope cannot do bet- ter than learn these grand old “families of stars.” Every onie knows the Dipper (quaint American name, which I would not ex- | change for the “Plough” of the Eng-| lish, still less the ancients’ habit of | calling it “The Bear”).
