What is Known of One of the Brightest
Stars Now Soon in tho Evening Sky.
About nine o'olock in the evening
a bright star, of a yellowish hue,0
may be observed in the southeast
part of the sky, about sixty degrees
high, or two,thirds of the distance
from the horizon to the zenith, or
point overhead. That star is Arc
turns, the brightest star in the
Northorn sky and tho brightest in
the heavens, except Sirius. It was
written in the book of Job, at lo0t
thirty-ono centuries ago (probably
the oldest litern y work that has
reachod the presOnt day),
Which marketh Areturms, Orion an1d
Pleiades and the chmibers; of the South.
By a coinparison of ancient re
cords with modern observations as
tronomers have been led to the con
clusion that this star is growing
brighter, but whether the increase
of brilliancy is caused by tho star
coming nearer, or by a change in its
luminous surface, c.nnot be detor
mined. Tho spectrorcope has
shown that many of the ele
moentary substances with which
scientists are acquainted are found
in this and other stars, thus showt"ing
a unity in 1,lhe composition of the
bodies of the universe. Arcturus is
one of the few stars whose distnelco
has been approximately determined.
According to the most accurate cal
culations it is one hunded and fifty
four billions of miles from the earth,
a disbanco which light, moving at
the rate of ono hundred and eighty
five thousand miles a second, re
quires about twenty-fivo yos.rs to
pass over. When, therofoie, we
look at this star, we see it, n ot,
perhaps, as it now is, but by light
which shows its condition a quarter
of a century ago. Areturus is tho
brightest star in the Constellation
Bootes, the hordsnan, sometimes
called the 3eardriver, beceuso lie
appears to follow the Constellations
of the Great and tho Little Bear
around the North polo0 of the
heavens.
TURTLEs' Ecoos.- Turtles' eggs are
held in great esteemi wherever they
are found, as well by Euiropeamns aisi
otherse. They have ai very soft shelll
and are about the size of aL pigeon's
egg. The mother turtles lay tiice
a year, at intervals of two or three
weeks, depositing in one night as
many as a hundred at a laying. An
exp1erienced eye andl hand are ro
quired to detect the eggs, as they m e
always ingeniously covered up with
sand ; but, when they are
hunted, very few escape. The
Oronoco Indians obtain from
these eggs a hind of clear, sweet oil,
Iwhich they use instead of butter'
In the month of F?ebruary, when the
high wvaters of the Oronoco have re
ceded, millions of inmties como o~n
shore to deposit their eggs. TIhe
certainty and abundance of the
harvest is such that it is estimated
by tile acre. The yearly gathering
about the month of the riv'er alone
is about five thousand jars of oil,
and it takes five thousand eggs to
make a jar.
~:*A \VALKINo ADvERIsEM.--If a
.in church on Sunday, let him get a
new pair of beets, go in I-lo gallery,
and hold a conversation with several
of his young pious friends during
the delivery of the sermon, then
get upl and walk out, creaking as he
*goes, a real walking advertisement
for a tan yard, and if the preacher
don't come to a dead halt, awaiting
his exit, and the eyes of everybody
be directed to him, lamenting his
:doparturo; then we give it up as a bad
4 job. We have seen it tried, as well
as the patience of a congregation,
oao, and it was a success.
THE PIP IN rOULTRY.--Poul try are
sometimes troubled with a disease
known as the "pip." This is infla,
mnation of the tongue and mouth,
with a growth of a horny scale on
$he point of the tongue, wvhich pre -
vents the fowls from fooding. G*ivo
