CINCINNATI, Nov. 11.—The con
clusion of the official count on the
-wet and dry question which was up
for determination by the voters in
the recent election, shows, that con
trary to earlier reports based upon
the face of the unofficial returns,
the wet forces have carried the sitate
by a scant two thousand votes. The
'“drys" are demanding a recount
and have announced through the
Secretary of the Anti-Saloon League
that in the event the election is fin
ally decided against them, prepara
tion will at once be made for a re
opening of the battle.
With a view to discrediting the
effect of the bone-dry law in vari
ous states, and especially the South,
the liquor interest; are circulating
printed broadsides, into which have
been gathered items from widely
separated localities telling of viola
tions of the liquor statute. The
patent intention is to magnify the
extent of attempted evasion of the
law by massing the scattered evid
ence. ,
Pumping liquor into automobile
tires is said to be the latest scheme
to smuggle liquor into dry West
Virginia. Trunks containing liquor

Gemini is Capella in Auriga, one of
the brightest of the stars. It is
of bright yellow color and of the

much larger and more massive.

The constellation Pegasus, which
is in the shape of a large squatc
formed of four second magnitude
stars, is on tho meridian 9:00 p.
m. Between Pegasus and Auriga
are the two constellation.; Andro
meda and Persouss which contain
several objects of interest, such as
ihe Great Nebula in Andromeda and
Algol in Perseus, a remarkable vari
able star. Its fluctuations of light f
run through a period of about 69 j
hours and is noticeable to an ordi-1
nary observer. It shines as a second |
magnitude star for 59 hours, then ;
in 4 i-% hours is reduced to 3 1-2
magnitude, whi<h means it loses
2-3 of its light, and in about 5
hours recovers its normal bright
ness. The loss of light has been
proven to be due to the partial
eclipse of Algol by a large dark
satellite.
Orion, the most brilliant constell
ation in the sky, known ar.d refer
red to from the earliest times, is
well above the horizon in the east
at 10:30 p. m. Its outline is fa
miliar to most—a large quadril
ateral formed by four conspicuous
stars with three second magnitude
star:, in its center in a line. Two
of the stars forming the outline are
of first magnitude, Betelgeux in the
upper left-hand corner and Rigel,
the lower star to the right. The
star in the upper right-hand corner
is known as Bellatrix and the lower
star to the left by the greek letter
Kappa. The Great Nebula in Orion
one of the finest objects in the sky,
lies below the three center stars,
but may be seen only through a te
lescope. It 13 a groat mass of glow
ing gas, thousands of times larger
than our solar system.

10:00 p. m. This is Procyon, the
Little Dog star, in Canis Minor.
Beth Procyon and Sirin-, the Big

fouth-east. Its meridian altitude at !

with the five fainter stars above it j
form tho outline of a sickle or grain

situated the planet Mars, which
during the month move; a little j
south and eastward.
The planet Saturn is in Cancer "
and has a slight retrograde move- !

the horizon.
The stars have the same apparent
movement as the sun; they rise in j
the ea.-:t and set in the west. This
is due to the earth’s daily rotation
on its axis. Another movement,
which is not apparent at first, is due <
to the earth’s revolution round the
sun during the year. From this
cause the ,star sphere appears to
make one complete revolution in a
year, causing the stars to rise and
set nearly four minutes earlier
each day.
