The June evening yky is rich in planet?, for ihrec of tht.se, besides the almost invisible Neptune, are evening Mars this month. Slightly west of tho meridian and close to the bright star Spicu in Virgo, will bü found the ruddy planet Mara, about which o much astronomical romance Ls constantly woven. Further to the westward. about half way to the horizon, i3 an almost straight line of three stars; the hig-h-est in the planet üaturn, the next is

really a star, Jlegulua, and the low

est is Jupiter, the largest or all tne planets. Venus ia still a mornln.T atar, but will change next xnontn and make its debut as evening star In July, although it will not find a place on the rj o'clock map for many month. Tlie Sim. The apparent movement of the sun along the ecliptic, ' which ia due to tho real movement of tho earth along its orbit, will bring the former to the most northerly point in the heavens which it can occupy, called the fummer solstice. It is the date which the astronomer seta for tho beginning of summer, and this year the event will happen on June 21, at about 12:40 p. m On this date wo will have the longest daylight peri 3d and the shortest night, and from then on the nights will grow at the expense of the days. At the time of the autumnal equinox they will be equal, and thereafter the nisht will be the longer period until the vernal equinox is reached.

places that can have the sun in their zeniths, and this belt ls called the Torrid Zone. The boundaries of the zone are called the Tropics, t.iut ui Cancer to the north and that of Capricorn in the south. Tho word "tropic" cornea from the Greek word meaning to turn. In the ar.cient days when these phenomena were first fctudied, the summer solstice point lay in the constellation of Cancer, the Crab, but the precession of tho equinoxes has changed the position of the equator with respect to the ecliptic circles so that this point has fe'radaally moved Into Gemini. The Seasons. Another very important fact with regrard to the sun is that Just at this timo, when we are having our warm weather, the earth is farther from the sun than at any other time. The orbit of the earth is elliptical, eo that, the earth's distance from the sur. does vary; but it is so very nearly a circle that the variation is very small and not by any means great enough to cause the variation between summer and winter. The real cause of the seasons ls. ef course, the fact that duxing the summer months the sun is higher in tho sky, thus giving us a more intense tuat while it is up, and being above tho horizon a greater part of the day than it is btlow, it warms us for a longer period each day. Anspart of the earth is warmed" in the daytime and cools off by radiation at nlpht. Therefore, when we have aum truer the southern hemisphere has winter, and vice versa. Size? of the Sun. The sun is one of the stars; only it happens to be our particular star, and ls so close to us as to dwarf all the other stars of the universe. As a matter of fact the eun is not one of the largest of the stars, nor yet 13 it one of the smallest; it seems to be about averatre in size. But compared to the earth and other planets it is a veritable giant. The earth's diameter ls about 7, 00 miles and that of the sun is over 4 30,000, which makes the latter equal in volume to 1,200,000 earths. In actual amount of material the sun has more than 300,00-0 timey as much as the earth. In the eky the eun does not look quite so biff, but that is because its distance from us is about 9.", 100, 000 miles. The sun ls at an enormously high :

temperature, probably over 10000 degree Fahrenheit. The rarth only catches a rrJnute part of all tho energy, both light and heat, which the sun is constantly pouring into space. At that, we often think that we are getting more than our lair hare and are inclined to be grateful to the many billion miles which, separate us from the body to which wej owe our exiKtence. It has teen calculated that the solar tnergy caught by the earth contains enough power to run continuously aa many as 10,000,O0Q,0üC00ü Ford automobiles. And that ls less than one two-btl-lionth of its total energy output. Wliat is the bource of this apparently limitless energy? The astronomer must acknowledge that he does not know. For many years it was firmly believed that the sun was shrinking under the gravitational pull of the central nucleus upon the outer layers, and that this decrease in size released sufficient energy to account for the entire output of the sun. It was calculated that in order to produce so much energy the eun would have to shrink at the rate of only 2 40 feet per year, which would not be noticeable in less than 10,000 years. " Today the astronomer doeej not believe that this contraction can bo the only source of the sun's heat; for he has calculated that upon this theory the sun could not have lasted as long aa we are certain it must have lasted, according to the beat estimates of the age of the earth. Other sources of energy have to be sought; amoivj these has been suggested the energy vt the atom itself aa is manifested in radio-active substances eiich as radlurru. It is possible that in the sun thu Immense .stores of energy locked up In the minute atom are released in a way which to us is, as yet. an unexplained mystery.

STUDENTS GET BETTER IDEA OF WHAT SERVES FOR SENSIBLE DRESS

BY MAItE FOSTirU. A fashion show has been staged by one of the departments of Columbia university, its object being to give the students better ideas as to what constitutes tasteful and suitable dress for all occasions. Living models appear upon the stage dressed in costumes which vary from the plain tailored uniform of white or navy blue to the dress designed for formal evening wear. For each appearance the stag is set with an appropriate scene, so that the effect of the garments may be Judged in their proper surroundings. Xo extravagant or costly costumes are shown, as one of the purposes of the exhibit is to impress upon onlookers the fact that tasteful dress is not a matter cf price but of good Judgment. To vary' the monotony and drive home the moral the show is interspersed with models dressed to caricature the extreme, unsuitable and often indecent attire in v.'hich the younf? woman of today too frequently appears. Such a display Js especially timely Jut now because the public is groping toward more eeionomjcal and sensible standards in drss, and with a very little assistance a perceptible improvement in taste might be accomplished. Most persons who dress

unsuitably do ekj because they do not

know what constitutes appropriate

dress, and fail to distinguish be

twecn what is merely elaborate or

costly and what is really good style

Other institutions which have the

opportunity for public exhibitions might serve their communities by statin x euch shows as this one at

Columbia. Nor should the instruc

tion be wholly limited to the fe

male of the species, for the male al

so is in need of rescue from the folly

of his ways.
