DISCOVERIES IN TIE MOON.

The recent hoax concerning the discoveries III

tract from Sir John +. ". llrr,chcl, treatise ON
Astronomy. Treating oi the physical condition
oil the moon, he says, 1t is better known To us
than any other heavenly body
BY the aid OF telescopes, we discern Unequal
tiles in its surface, which can be- no other than
mountains and valleys, for this plain reason, that
we see the shadows east by the former in the eN-
act proportion as 10 LENGTH which they ought to
have, when we take into account the inclination of
the sans rays to that part Of the moons surface
which they stand. The CONVEX outline of the limb
turned towards the sun Is always circular, and We
~ nearly smooth; but the opposite border OF the
enlightened part which (werc the moona perfect
sphcrc,) ought to be IN exact and sharply defined
cpsr is always observed IN be extremely ragged,
and indcntcd with deep rccesses and prominent
points. The mountains near this edge cast long
black shadows, as they should evidently do, when
consider that the sun i, in the act OF rising or
setting to the part Of the moon 50 clrcumSIanccd
But as the enlightened edge advances beyond them,
/, {. the sun to them gains altitude, their shad-
ows shorten; and Al the full moon, when all the
gh, falls in our line of sight, no shadows are seen
on any part Of her suriace.-From mcromctroal
measures of the lengths OF the shadows OF many Of
the more conspicuous mountains, taken under the
most favorable circumstances, the height oi many oil
them have been calculated the highest beng
about 7 English miles IN perpendicular altitude.
The existence Of such mountains Is corrobortlcd
BY their appearance as small points islands of
light bryond the extreme edge OF the enlightened
par--thcir tops catching the sunbcams before the
intermediate plain, and, the light advances, at
length connect themselves with IT, and appear rs
