Richard Adams Locke, the Auth or. OF the Great
"Nfoen HoaX,O

Richerd Adams Locke, who threw the country
into terrible excitement about thirtyve years ago
by the preparation OF the celebrated "Moon Hoax"
died yestrday at his residence on Staten Island at
the age Of seventy-one. In 1886 Moses Y Beach
moved to N W York and purchased the Sun OF its
original proprietors. The Sun had been es ablished
upon the verge of q collapse until Mr.. Beach took it
in hand and placed it fairly the road to success.
he engaged as editor Mr.. Locke, then young man
OF literary tastes, Tut unknown to fame. For
few months after Locke took charg, OF
the paper, it failed to create any
marked sensation, ard in all probability would have
proved unsuccessful in the end under its new
management as under the old, If Locke had not
forced 1t upon the universal notice OF the public by
the most ingenious and successful hoax ever per-
petrated. One day in August, 1895, the first step
towards placing the gigantic fraud before the pub
lie was taken. predatory article appeared In the
editorial columns OF the Sun, announcing
that the eminent English astronomer, Sir
John Herschel, had recently made some
remarkable astronomical discoveries by means
OF monster telescope, at the Cape OF Good Hope,
the information Of the Sun being derived from an
advance copy Of the Edinburgh Journal of Science.
This preparatory announcement answered the in
tended purpose and served to attract the attention
OF the public, to whom none OF the marvellous details
had as yet been given. Expectation was on tip-toe,
and when, few days after, the repu licaton of the
bogus article from the Edinburgh Journal of Science
was commenced, the wonderful story was devoured
with the greatest eagerness. The hoax bore the

HE Swans who hold that the gorgeous
tints OF our forests in autumn are due to the
ripening of the leaves at that season and not
to the influence of frost, are respectfully re-
quested 10 note the extraordinary coincidence
!, in point of time between the appearance OF
frost and the "ripening." This year the frost
came early and suddenly. Hardly leaf had
changed its hue. The day after the first heavy
frost the great change begun. On the second
day it is no exagseraton to say that the woods
burst into flame, and now one who journeys
in Maine travels through such scenes as have
not enchanted the travellers sight even in
New England for many years. The richness
and briliiancy of the hues and the prodigality
with which the colors are displayed make the
whole country one wide fairy-land All this
IL day. Perhaps the early frost coming
upon the foliage while yet in its vigor and not
tending at all toward ''the sere and yellow
Leaf is not the magician that has done this
pleasant landscape painting We are aware
OF the weakness of the post hoe ergo propter
hoe argument. But this year it is undeniable
that the supporters of the old fogy frost theo-
ry have striking argument ON their side.
