Lastly, low down, between north and northeast, we find the Seated Lady (_Cassiopeia_); and above, somewhat eastwardly, the inconspicuous constellation _Cepheus, Cassiopeia's_ royal husband. NIGHT SKY.--JULY AND AUGUST. The Great Bear (_Ursa Major_) is now in the northwest, his paws near the horizon. The Pointers (a and b) direct us to the Pole Star, (a of the Little Bear, _Ursa Minor_). A line from the Pole Star to the Guardians of the Pole is in the position of the minute hand of a clock about 7 minutes before an hour. Below the Little Bear we see the Camelopard, a little to the east of due north. The Dragon (_Draco_) curves round from between the Pointers and the Pole, above the Little Bear toward the east, then upward to near the point overhead, its head, with the bright stars b and g, being highest. Low down in the west we see Berenice's Hair (_Coma Berenices_), and one star of the Hunting Dogs (_Canes Venatici_) is seen in the chart between _Coma_ and the Great Bear. The Herdsman {_Booetes_) occupies the mid-heaven in the west, the Crown (_Corona Borealis_) higher up, and due west, Hercules, between the Crown and the point overhead. Low down, extending from the west to near the southwest, we find the Virgin (_Virgo_), the bright _Spica_ near its setting place. In the southwest are the Scales (_Libra_), and farther to the left, extending from the Scales to low down near the south, we find the Scorpion (_Scorpio_), one of the finest of the constellations, _Antares_, the rival of Mars (as the name means), marking its heart. Above the Scorpion and the Scales are the Serpent Bearer (_Serpentarius_ or _Ophiuchus_) and the Serpent (_Serpens_), extending right across him to near the Crown, after which the Serpent seems reaching. A little east due south, low down, we find the Archer (_Sagittarius_); in the southeast, low down, the Sea Goat (_Capricornus_); and farther east, and lower down, the Water Bearer (_Aquarius_). Above the Sea Goat is the Eagle (_Aquila_), with the bright bluish-white star _Altair_; on its left the pretty little Dolphin (_Delphinus_), and above the Dolphin, nearly overhead, the Lyre (_Lyra_), with the bluish-white star _Vega_ (even brighter than _Altair_) nearly overhead. Below the Lyre we see the Swan (_Cygnus_), due east; and below the Swan the Winged Horse (_Pegasus_), upside down, as usual. In the northeast, _Andromeda_, the Chained Lady, is rising, her head marked by the star a (which was also called d of _Pegasus_). (The "Square of Pegasus" is formed by a of _Andromeda_ and a, b, and g of _Pegasus_.) Between the north and northeast is _Cassiopeia_, the Seated Lady, and above her, her husband, King _Cepheus_. And lastly _Perseus_ is just rising, between the north and northeast. [Illustration: MAP VIII. NIGHT SKY.--JULY AND AUGUST.
