+=====Taurus.=====
-TAURUS
 In the constellation Taurus there are two star clusters, The Hyades and the Pleiades. The brightest stars in the Hyades form a remarkably symetrical group in the form of the letter "A". At the right foot of the "A" is the giant red star Aldebaran. Six stars are visible in the Pleiades. The cluster is set in a luminous background of nebulous matter in which the stars glimmer softly.

In Greek Mythology Taurus represents the white bull whose form Jupiter assumed when he abducted Europa and swam with her on his back to the island of Crete. The Pleiades, sometimes called the "Garden of the Pleiades", represent the seven daughters of Atlas and the Nymph Pleione. Now only six stars can be seen plainly, but there is little doubt that the disappearance of the seventh is an astronomical fact. Some of the legends of the Australian aboriginees account for the disappearance of the seventh star.

Far away the benches curved, pale gold, separated from the deep bright blue of the sea by two long lines of breakers. Lake Illawarra showed palely ahead, and the mountains brooded over all.
