The Moon and the Weather

Mr.. Palk Harrison ircm a study of the
thermomutiic observations at Grsenwich
tinds that there IS "a tolerablv constant in.
crease ot temperature from the new moon
to the full, and q decrease from the full
moon to the first quarter. He also finds
that The maximum oi rainy or cloudy days
corresponds with the frs; halt of the lunar
period and tho max'mum OF fine clear DAYS
with the last halt He explains the fact by
the dispensing action OF the full moon upon
the clouds. THIS dispensing action is in turn
accounted for bv Sir john Hvrschci. thus /:
tho heat rays ot the moon are almost insp
apprcciable even to tho most delicate in
etrumonts Mull0ni found that tho index OF

centra,ed on il by lens so poweriul that q
sunbeam thus convergpd would have burned
platinum into vapor. Tho heat rays sen
from tho moon, therefore, must be inter
cepied and absorbed by our atmosphere

clouds and hindrrs their formation. The
full moon will, therefore clear the skv, and
bv so doing will lower the temperature %
, the earth, for CLOUDS act as a blanket To the
earth, keeping its heat from radlaiing int
space. The new moon. deprived for SON,
time of the suns heat. is incapable Of eIer
cising u similar influence. and the RAINY o
cloudy days are therefore more froquen
during the frsi half of the lunar period -
Lsverrier accepts this hypothesis of Her
schel, but it has been combated by other az
t'onomers, aud must still be considered sui
