The Noon a Dead bYorlti.

Among The illusions swept away By
modern science was the pleasant fancy
that the moon was habitable globe like
the earth, its surface diversified with
seas, lakes, continents. and islands, and
varied forms OF vegetation. Theologians
and sauants gravely discussed the prob
abilities of It's being inhabited by race
of sentient beings, with forms and iacul-
ties like our own. and propounded
schemes for opening communication
with them. in case they existed. One OF
these was to construct on the broad
highlands OF Asia series of geometrical
figures on scale so gigantic as TO be
visible from our planetary neighbor, on
the supposition that The moon people
would recognize the object, and immedi-
ately construct similar figures IN reply,
extravagaut and absurd as it may appear,
but the discussion was kept up at inter-
yals. until it was discovered that If there
were people in the moon they must be
able to live without breathing or eating
or drinking. Then it ceased.
There can be no life without air.
Beautiful TO the eye Of distant observer.
