corpio_), its heart
Antares, rival of Mars, in the southwest, the end of its tail between
south and southwest. Above and south of the Scorpion's tail we see
the Archer (_Sagittarius_).

Due south, and high up, is the Eagle (_Aquila_), its tail at z and
e, its head at th, the bright steel-blue Altair marking its body.
On the left, or east, of the Eagle lies the neat little Dolphin
(_Delphinus_). Midway between the Dolphin and the horizon is the
tip of the tail of the Sea Goat (_Capricornus_), whose head lies
nearly due south.

On the southern horizon is the head of the Indian (_Indus_); on its
left a part of the Crane (_Grus_), and low down in the southeast
lies Fomalhaut, the chief brilliant of the Southern Fish (_Piscis
Australis_). Above lies the Water Bearer (_Aquarius_), in the
southwestern mid-heaven.

Due east, fairly high, is "the Square of Pegasus," the head of the
Winged Horse, Pegasus lying close by the Water Pitcher of Aquarius
(marked by the stars z, g, and a).

The Fishes (_Pisces_) are low down in the east. A few stars of
the Whale (_Cetus_) are seen on their right, very low down. On
the left of Pisces we see the Ram (_Aries_), low down; above it
the Triangle; and above that the Chained Lady (_Andromeda_).

Low down in the northeast is the Rescuing Knight (_Perseus_); above
whom is _Cassiopeia_, and on her left, higher up, the inconspicuous
constellation _Cepheus_.

Lastly, immediately below _Cepheus_, we find the Camelopard, below
which, very low down, between north and northeast, is the Charioteer
(_Auriga_), the brilliant Capella being just above the horizon.

NIGHT SKY.--SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER.

Low down, between north and northwest, we find the seven stars
of the Dipper, the Pointers on the right nearly due north. They
direct us to the Pole Star. The Guardians of the Pole (b and g of
the Little Bear, _Ursa Minor_) lie in a direction from the Pole
Star corresponding to that of the minute hand of a clock about 17
minutes before an hour. Between the Pointers and the Pole Star we
find the tip of the Dragon's tail: then passing round the Little
Bear with the Dragon's long train of third magnitude stars, we come,
after a bend, to the Dragon's head, with the two bright eyes, a
and b--(part of the Dragon's nose has been borrowed by Hercules).
These two stars are almost exactly midway between the horizon and
the point overhead, and nearly northwest. King Cepheus--not a very
conspicuous constel
