and above her, her husband, King _Cepheus_. And lastly _Perseus_
is just rising, between the north and northeast.

NIGHT SKY.--AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER.

The Great Bear (_Ursa Major_) is low down, between northwest and
north, the Pointers (a and b) directed slantingly upward toward
the Pole. A line from the Pole Star (a of the Little Bear, _Ursa
Minor_) to the Guardians of the Pole (b and g), is in the position
of the minute hand of a clock 12 minutes before an hour. Between
the Great Bear and the Little Bear run the stars of the Dragon
(_Draco_), round the Little Bear toward the north, thence toward
the northwest, where we see the head of the Dragon high up, its two
bright eyes, b and g, directed toward _Hercules_, which occupies
the western mid-heaven. Above Hercules is _Lyra_, the Lyre, with
the bright steel-blue star Vega high up toward the point overhead.
Right overhead is the Swan (_Cygnus_).

Low down in the northwest we see in the chart one star of the Hunting
Dogs (_Canes Venatici_). Nearer the west stands the Herdsman, rather
slanting forward, however, with the Crown (_Corona Borealis_) on his
left, almost due west. The long winding Serpent (_Serpens_) runs
from near the Crown (where we see its head due west) to farther
south than southwest, high up on the western side of the Serpent
Holder (_Serpentarius_ or _Ophiuchus_), now standing upright in
the southwest. Low down creeps the Scorpion (_S
