Scientific paper

A RECENT issue (Feb. 27) of the Illustrated London News contained a reproduction of an old map believed to have been used, and possibly drawn, by Columbus. At the side of the world map is a map showing the celestial `spheres' according to the Ptolemaic system. It is of special interest because it shows the positions * of the heavenly bodies approximately as follows : Sun, Aries 0 ; Moon, Libra 0 ; Mercury, Aries 22 ; Venus, Aquarius 17 ; Mars, Cancer 2 ; Jupiter, Virgo 7 ; Saturn, Scorpio 22.
