Nineteen months later Wilsqn

aimed directly at the plane.
Slowly the "aviator and I

numerous tingle little stars

Suddenly we dashed into a
veritable confusion of tiny
pinpoints of light dozens of

allowed to proceed alone.
Unknowingly the flyer had
guided the telescope into the
beautiful double cluster . of
Perseus. To the naked eye
that part of the sky was then
only bright, starless twilight,
but the power of the glass had
reached out into the infini

starry tangle Into human vis-

On a clear, moonless night
this double cluster is dimly
visible without optical aid,
not at start but as a small
cloudy patch. . At 8 pjn. in
late August it appears about
half way up in the northeast

the W-shaped configuration of
Cassiopeia. Below It are the
principal stars of Perseus,

bees, every one working hard,
energetically trying to do its

The beauty of the picture Is
enhanced by the "tiniest of
