The Moon as a Glyer of Light.

This orb, the moon, that moves around
the earth, seems to be there in order to
give light during the night time, says
Prof. Proctor. Let us see what astronomy
has taught us. 1t teaches that the moon
is very much smaller than the earth with
a diameter of 2, 100 miles. She is dis
tant from the earth 23S, ,S29 miles The
surface of the moon is less than the earth 5
in the proportion of | to 13!. In other
words. the surface is about II 500 900
square miles, equal almost exactly to the
surface of North and South America. 1t
is also equal approximately to the surface
of Europe and Africa taken together If
the moon is the abode of life there Is
plcaty of room for life there, and it is an
interesting question whether she can
maintain life. We know that the volume
of the moon is to that of the earth as to
49,, while her density is rather less than
that Of the earth, 50 that her mass is to
that of the earth as about | to 81.
First Of all. as to the Offices Of the moon
IF it is shown that she discharges import
ant offices to the earth, you will see that
We are no longer bound by the argument
of design to recognize her as the abode of
life. First, We know she serves for the
division of time. She gives light by night.
God set His lights in the expanse of hea-
ven, the greater to rule by day and the
lesser by night alternately. There is a
service performed by the moon which is
50 regular as to suggest that perhaps
the Almighty intended the moon for that
special purpose.
Laplaco went so far as to say if he had
made the moon he would have made it
much more useful to man. He would
have put it four times its present distance
away from the earth, when it would be
far enough away to be full moon and
give regular light continuously by night.
The first objection to this is an astronomi-
cal one, for of all nuisances the moons
light is one which the astronomer dislikes
most especially at a time when he wants
to study ncbulm, or some barely visible
comet; at those times the moons bright
ness seriously interfercs with his obscrva-
tions; and l am surprised, indeed, that
Laplace, himself an astronomer, should

In fine editorial on the Rothschilds, the
New York Times, looking to the probable
elevation Of Disraeli as prime minister
of England, says:
Both Lionel and Meyer were in parlia-
ment. They never, however, took an ac-
tive interest in politics. They entered the
political arena to assist in crowning
the temple of freedom by the emanci
patton of their race, and wipe away
the last spot of persecution from the stat
ute books of England. They are now both
removed from the scene, Lionel having
lost his election in London Mr.. Disraeli

aud for whom they entertain very warm
friendship, was frequently, when chan

sit on the bench, and in every profession
they may be found in the first places. And
we should not wonder if under the rule of

CAN PARALYSIS BE CURED ?-Paraly-
sis, according to an English writer, is
rare, much that passes for paralysis being
durable. especially through the imagina-
ton. The opinion is supported by the
statements of one of the best medical men
in Paris, who in ls49 was physician in
the great hospital there, the Hotel Dieu.
In that year this hospital was particularly
famous for the cures effected in it, and
many were the hypochondriacs whose i'm
aginatons sent them home we'll after a
stay in its wards. One odd case was that
of young girl in the department. of the
Ain. whom sudden fright had rendered
dumb and paralyzed, Local physicians

have suggested so inconvenient an arrange
ment as that.
But there are other difficulties. IF the
moon is in that condition she would always
have to be opposite to the sun. The sun
would go around once year and the
moon also. The moon would no longer
be measure of time, she would no longer
rule the tides in the same way. She now
raises great wave called the tidal-wave,
represented in height BY 5. You have
another caused by the sun, represented
by 2. These two waves are sometimes
combined in single wave, and act to-
gether sometimes opposing, sometimes
coaleseing. According to these changes,
the tide varies in height from the differ
ence of 5 and to the sum of 5 and 2.
That is to say, 3 the least height, and z
the greatest. That is very important
matter. 1t is of great service, as any one
who lives by the seashore knows; it is of
great interest to the shipbuildcr and mer-
chant that there should be variable tides
that there should not always be high tides,
nor always low. That important service
would not have been subsercd by the
moon if the consideration suggested by
Laplacc had prevailed. There is another
very important service. The moon ena-
bles the astronomer or seaman in long
voyages to ascertain the exact longitude,
which is nothing more or less than the
true time at the observers station. If she
moved II times more slowly she would be
less fit to indicate the time in exactly the
same degree as the hour hand Of the watch
is less fit than the minute hand. There
are other very great and important ad
vantages of the real moon over that sug.
