_Cepheus_ is low down, somewhat to the west of north; his Queen (_Cassiopeia_) the Seated Lady, beside him (a and b mark the top rail of her chair's back); while above her lies the poor constellation _Camelopardus_, the Giraffe. _Andromeda_, the Chained Lady, is in the northwest, low down--in fact, partly set; the Triangles and the Ram (_Aries_) beside her, toward the west. Above them is _Perseus_, the Rescuing Knight; and above him, somewhat to the west, the Charioteer (_Auriga_). The Bull (_Taurus_), with the _Pleiades_ and the bright _Aldebaran_, is in the mid-heaven, due west; _Gemini_, the Twins, higher, and toward the southwest. _Orion_, below them, is already slanting toward "his grave, low down in the west"; beneath him the Hare, and in the southwest a part of the River (_Eridanus_). Due south is a part of the Star Ship (_Argo_), beside which, low down, is the foolish Dove (_Columba_), while above leaps the Great Dog (_Canis Major_), with the splendid _Sirius_, chief of all the stars in the sky, marking his mouth. High up, a little west of north, is the Little Dog (_Canis Minor_); and higher, a little east of north, the Crab (_Cancer_), the "dark constellation," as it was called of old, with the pretty cluster _Proesepe_, or the Beehive. The Sea Serpent (_Hydra_) is rearing his long neck high above the horizon, bearing on his back, absurdly enough, Noah's Cup (_Crater_) and Noah's Raven or Crow (_Corvus_). Nearly due east, the Virgin (_Virgo_) has risen, Spica shining brightly just above the horizon. The Lion (_Leo_) occupies the mid-space above; the "Sickle in the Lion"--its handle marked by ae and a, its curved blade by g, m, and e--will at once be recognized. The Hair of Queen Berenice (_Coma Berenices_) is nearly due east, and fairly high. Between this small but remarkable group and the Great Bear, lies Hevelius's foolish constellation, the Hunting Dogs (_Canes Venatici_). Lastly, in the northeast, the Herdsman (_Booetes_), with the orange-yellow brilliant, Arcturus, is rising, though at present, paradoxical as it may seem, he lies on his back. NIGHT SKY.--MARCH AND APRIL. The Great Bear (_Ursa Major_) is now nearing the point overhead, the Pointers (a and b) aiming almost directly downward toward the Pole Star. The line from this star (a of the Little Bear, _Ursa Minor_) to the Guardians (b and g) is now in the position of the minute hand of a clock about 13 minutes after an hour.
