A TALK WITH A HINDU ASTRONOMER,

It was not in idleness that the cons stellations and planets received the väikes they have today," said a Hindu sage to me as he dwelt on the antiquity, of Astrmony and the part played by his own anviut race in the sciener. There was, he painted out, a similarity in the names given to each planet in Sanskrit. Greek and Arabic but more than that there was similarity in the meaning of the names Jupiter, the mighty god of the Greeks, was Deux-Pitter, the father- god of the Hindus and each country ap- plied the name to the self-same planet. Jupiter derived its name by its supre. maey over other planets in regard to its greater magnetic power.

This explanation. I thought, was punr. Give me something more tlefinite to show that the planets actually earned the names they have!

Why did they not worship a Lamb or a Donkey / Because ah planetary influence was that of the Star Ball At about the same time the Egyptians had the sacred Bull which was worshipped by them and an ancient of esparra's reign deals with the sacril Ball going down on his knees to salite the incarnation of a Pharach. Nearer home in India, the worship of cows and but is still not extinct. They have been worshipped ns ills and in the flesh.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE BILL. A Bat, 1, interposed, "if the plan- tary influence of the Eull has passed Laway, why does the worship still remain

in India

The worship does not remain. x plained the Hindu.

The idols repre senting Bulls are no longer-worshipped in the real sense-the ceremony continues owing to the conservative tendency of the and people. Those who practise the ceremony

feel it is meaningless.'

THE EPOCH OF WATER.

The influence of the Bull passed away. and the Earth in due cours came u the infigence of the constellation known commonly as the Fishes with Glitter- ing Tails The constellation, some

think, bas faint rennblauer to a fish but that is due to the imagination having been worked up in the human race for renturies. The coming of Christ coincid

d with this period and that marks an epoch in which water or things connected' with water take the plaer of the Bull as a symbol for everything. You have the institution of Baptism with water. a necessary symbel ut Christianity-the migaty

organisation which conquered Europe and all but conquered the world. Furthermore, the tairacles of Christ were nearly all coonreted with dish of water. You have the miracles of loaves and fishes: yon have die intracle of the fishes Lin Peter's aft; the disciples themselves were fishermen. You pass from Christ to the age which succeeded him and what do you find 7 An age of sea travel n equalled in history, discoveries in the equipment of en-faring vessels and a civilisation based on the ronquest of the, sea The past nineteen hundred years have witnessed derglojument in science and art of which water or Bh have been the symbols. The steam engine depends on water for its stram: All warfare de pends on the control nf the sea; trade has come to menn overseas tradefour present lives are regulated by the control of the watery elements.

"The present successes in the Air are but the forerunners of they mighty events, for the Earth has not yet passed under the Air constellation. It is jus approaching it. By the end of the pre- sent century it will have passed complete ly out of the influence of the Fishes with Glittering Tails and then the full foren of the inaence of the Air constellation will be felt. The dream of Mr. HG Wells depicting an age when we will be able to equip ourselves with a pair of wings to fly whenever we please will not be beyond the range of possibility."-Raglishman (Calcutta),

REJECTED " COCKTAIL""

The French Academy has decided not to admit the word "cocktail" into its dictionary, although that form of hover- age is now familiar throughout France: The Timer Paris correspondent says the suggestion was made that the word coquetele" might be considered as French, hat the Academy refused to lend itself to this subterfuge.
