His apparel is daubed commonly with statute lace, the suit itself of durance, and the hose full of long pains. He hath many other lasting suits which he himself is never able to wear out, for they wear out him. The zodiac of his life is like that of the sun, marry not half so glorious. It begins in Aries and ends in Pisces.
Signs of the zodiac, of cross-bones and skulls, on walls and ceiling met her gaze everywhere. In an alcove Eva could see a noosed rope hanging, for what purpose she knew not. But its presence she felt was sinister. "I I was told that a Doctor Q would be here," Eva faltered. "I do not see him." "Gracious lady," bowed the hyponotist, "I will bring him at once. Pray be seated."
As Darius has studied the wisdom of Egypt and the signs of the starry heavens, I beg him to take this circlet of gold, on which a skilful hand has traced the signs of the Zodiac.
In the pompous style of the age, the president of that foundation was named the Sun of Science: his twelve associates, the professors in the different arts and faculties, were the twelve signs of the zodiac; a library of thirty-six thousand five hundred volumes was open to their inquiries; and they could show an ancient manuscript of Homer, on a roll of parchment one hundred and twenty feet in length, the intestines, as it was fabled, of a prodigious serpent.
That the planets, which are visible to our eyes, being within the boundaries of this solar system, are earths, may be clearly seen from the following considerations.

"The same," groaned poor Fleetwood. "It was the Zodiac. She is lost lost to me for ever. Oh, Ada, Ada!" And again he groaned, as if death could alone relieve his heart from his load of misery. "Hoot, mon, hoot! ne'er say die while there's life!" exclaimed the bluff old governor. "Ye have no positive proof that any one ye care for is dead or lost to ye.
"You wouldn't be expected to do such things if the signs of your zodiac were different." "Look out!" warned Cornie. "You'll see more stars than the ones in your horoscope if you lose your grip." "Abracadabra!" cried Mary gamely. "May I hold on to the pole, and the pole hold on to me till we've done all that's expected of us."
Doctor Bremiker had not indeed completed his great work a chart of the whole zodiac down to stars of the tenth magnitude but portions of it were completed, and the special region where the new planet was expected to appear happened to be among the portions finished. But in England this was not known.
Astrological charts formed a large proportion of these picture-writings. Here, as elsewhere, we may trace the origin of astrology. The signs of the days and years were represented, for convenience sake, by different animals, and objects, like the signs of the Zodiac which we still retain.
Zeelna, traversing in twelve hours only one-fifth of the visible hemisphere, while crossing in the same time 144° on the zodiac twelve degrees per hour, or our Moon's diameter in two minutes and a half was left behind by the stars; and fixing what I may call the ocular attention on her, she seemed to stand still while they slowly passed her; thus making their revolution perceptible to sense as it never is on Earth, for lack of a similar standard.
