By means of the regular star-maps, such as those of my School Star Atlas, he will be able to explore the depths of all the constellations, having once learned their position and general appearance from the accompanying maps. It will be well for the student to remember that the planets Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn will at times appear among the constellations here shown. Venus and Jupiter can always be recognized by their superior light, Mars and Saturn by the steadiness with which they shine. The almanac will always show when these planets and Mercury (often very bright in the clear skies of America) are above the horizon, and where they are situate. They never appear except among the zodiacal constellations."},{"id":"content0:18","kind":"paragraph","text":"For particulars and pictures of the different constellations, and other details associated with the study of the star-groupings, the reader is referred to my \"Easy Star Lessons,\" published like the present maps by Messrs.
