HEaT FROM TIE MooS-Lord Rose has been
measuring the heat that comes TO Us from the
moon. Using one Of his great rejecting tele-
scopes as burning mirror. be has condensed the
moons rays upon one Of the most delicate Of
heat-gauees-a thermopile. Without being able
to determine BY what fraction Of Fahrenheit's
degree the lunar warmth increases the tempera-

I as an approximation. that the radiation from the
moon S about the ninety -thogsa1dth part Of that

Of heat from our satellite follows the same law

zarlnth from the full moon. and least from the

temperature Of the moons surface at lunar mid
day to be about 500 degrees Of Fahrenheit.
