legal proof and exposure of his guilt. And
the longer he was in, the more expert he
would become in the art of concealment and
evasion.
From all which it is clear that there is a
big flaw in Mr.. Jenckes's project for reforming
the civil service that through this flaw the
cleverest villains in the country, by possibili-
ty, might get in and monopolize the most
important functions in the service to the ex-
clusion of either competent or incompetent
honesty and that, in short, the project does
not solve the moral difficulty of the problem,
but rather bids for still greater cultiva-
ton, and refinement, and dexterity on the
part of official rascaldom than have been deve-
loped by the present tenure Office arrange
ment. On the whole, the wiser plan, doubt
less, would be to return to the old system
under which officers were removable at the
discretion of the President who was thus re-
sponsible to the country, in fact as well as in
constitutional theory, for the manner in
which the laws were executed and the public
was served by his executive subordinates.

The Moon.

Captain John Ericsson has recently
startled portion of the scientific world by
the announcement of his theory that the
moons surface is an irregular mass of ice,
inns conclusion being based on series of
experiments, which tend to show that the
temperature of the lunar surface is much
lower than that indicated on our terrestrial
thermometrc scales.
That the ice theory is open to grave OBJ
lection is sufficiently obvious when il is
remembered that the moon has no atmos
phere, and that all liquids, and even ice,
vaporize rapidly IN odcuo. If water were
present on The moon, in appreciable guam
utles, II would necessarily give off clouds
OF yapor which would form an atmos-
pherlc envelope to the moon, sufficiently
dense to indicate its existence by rehacf-
ing the rays of light passing through it
when in conjunction with the sun, or a
star. Everything we know of The moon
tends to prove the theory advanced in
these columns in connection with our ar
ticles on the recent echpse-that water is
not present on the moons surface, and
that,oxygen andIhydrogen, the constituents
OF water, are both absent.
The gllttering prominences visible on
the lunar surface are certainly not ice,
and the supposition is not necessary to a
rejection of the theory Of intense heat
That the irregularities in the lunar contour
are of volcanic origin, we have every
reason to believe, and the immense height
OF the mountains is in perfect keeping
with the fact that they have not been
abraded down by the operation of at
mospheric causes (rains and winds) But
the surface has undoubtedly cooled down
long since, like that of the earth, but all
the more rapidly as there is no lunar at
mosphere to rctard the process of radia-
ton into space The relative brilhancy
of the elevations is easily accounted for
by consideration of their comparative
prominence and a recollection of the fact
that the rays reflected from them are not
subject to dispersion by passing through
an atmospheric medium at the beginning
of theirtight toward us.-CHjcdgo Tribune.
