The constellation of Leo — The Lion 

 Note that the Sickle forms the lion's head and the great star Regulus tips 

 the handle of the Sickle. 



The charts consist of stars and name of constellation cut from 

 white paper and placed on blue paper 11 x 8>^ inches and this in 

 turn mounted on white heavy paper so as to give a half inch 

 margin. The outlines of the constellations are made with Chinese 

 white. The effect is very attractive and edifying. We have 

 shown the charts that Miss Provost was kind enough to send us to 

 a large number of teachers and their beauty and excellent technique 

 have won general admiration. The charts show many more 

 constellations than we have reproduced here and also show eclipses, 

 comets and relative size of the planets. To teachers undertaking 

 this work we strongly recommend "The Stars in Song and Legend" 

 by Doctor Jermain G. Porter, published by Ginn & Co. ; it con- 

 tains the beautiful drawings of the mythical figures of the con- 

 stellations by Albrecht Durer.
