the clouds. At the last meeting of the
British Association, it was shown that the
weather through long series of years de-
pended q little-a very little-upon the
phases Of the moon, and now Quetelet, the
Director Of the Brussels Observatory, has
shown that between the first and last quart
ers of the moon more and not less rain falls
than during the remainbcr Of the time
However, fine weather and great rainfall
may go together.
Finally, Webb, after careful comnai Ison
Of the present appearance of the moon with
the very precise maps made by Mailer
some twenty years ago, has shown that
there have been considerable changes
Some of the small craters, in particular,
have notably different form from what
they had when Nader observed them
These changes shew the existence Of water
and an atmosphere. Father Secchi, Di-
rector Of the Roman Observation, has come
TO the conclusion that the peaks of the high
est mountains on the moon are covered
with snow. And, to make US still more at
home on the moon, De la Rive, the owner
of the observatory at Crawford near Lon
don, gives it as his opinion, that what were
at first marked down as seas, and afterward
supposed to be barren plains. are in fact
forests. In support of this. comes up a
great astronomc authority, Schwabe, the
discorerar Of the periodic times of the
suns spots. Besides these great smooth
plains, WHICH were called seas, there are a
number OF furows or wrinkles, nearly a
hundred, the nurture of which was entirely
unknown. Their length varies from three
to thrty-ive miles, and their greatest
breadth is about five thousand feet; most
OF them are considerably narrower. Their
sides are parallel and smooth, some run in
strait lines, and some are gently curved
Ordinarily they are seperate, but sometime:
they cross each other; often they eros.
craters, but occasionally they seem to be
cut off by them. They are found all ovel
the surface Of the moon, except on tls'
highest mountain chains.
OF these burrows Schwabe has mad
careful study at various times. He foun'

E lines, separated by clear spaces. A few
months later, the lines or streaks had disap

lines disappear.
r Nothing is more material than to suppose
that the dark spots on the moon are forests
but how shall we account for the growth 0
these trees in right lines? !? This hypothesi

A man named William Ross, in Coving-
ton, KY, has lost his newly married wife
by curious legal process. She was his
step daughter, and as the laws Of Kentucky
forbid marriage between those thus related.
they went over to Ohio and were married.
The friends of the girl sued out writ of
hdbeas corpus to take her from her husband,
and the judge decided that as they were
residents of Kentucky, a marriage out of
the state to evade its laws was null and
void, and the young wife was remanded te
the custody of her guardian, she not being
of age according to Kentucky law where
girls do not attain their majority till they

There is stilla deep mystery about the
murder Of the unknown woman found foat-

people have visited the place in hopes Of
identifying missing friends, and twoor three
have thought they had succeeded but the Sc,
quel shows them mistaken. 1t was supposed
that the woman might be Miss Kirby Of
Boston, missing for week or two past but
she has since been discovered in Brooklyn.
The head only is preserved in spirits. The
mayor has offered reward of $3.50 for tho
detection Of the murderer.
The Marine bank agency Of Columbus,
Ga, has recovered $4,000 Of the $4,000
