NOTICE. 
After writing “The Heavens in August,” Professor Eric Doolittle was taken with 
a violent heart attack and has been in the hospital ever since in a very exhausted con-

Professor Barton, Professor Doolittle’s assistant, has written this article and will

will be in time for the October or the November article. 
This article has been read to Professor Doolittle and has been approved by him.
