Inc Harvest Noon.

The beautiful nights We have had dur
iuc the past three or tour days are the
source -, much comment, and elicit the
praise Of every one. The question was
pa - US yesterday, why SO little differ
enCr IN time elapsed IL the rising of the
harvest moon As compared with the dit
ference at other seasons Of the year,
wbea 1t Is much greater; Us, Tor
InsnnCe, on Sunday night there WIS
seventeen miru,es difference between The
tine OF the moon rising aud the time sle
rOee on Saturday evening, whereas. the
difference is usually three tIm,s rs great?
As there might 10 lew of our
( r aders in tie same boat with our ques
toner, the following extract from "Zel.s
Encyrlovedia" may eahghten them:
IA order TO get 81 insight INTO this
phsnomenon it mus. be boIGo IL mind
that the moon Is always opposite to the
sur whom she is tull; that she Ia full in
the signs Pisces and Aries, these being
the signs opposite to Virgo and Libra
which the sun passes through III Sep,em-
her ind October, our harvest months.
Thus, although whenever the moon en-
tsr9 the two former signs land she does
so twelve tunes In year. The same cir
cu,u lance takes place with regard 10 The
time OF her rising yet IL Is not
observed on these other occasions,
iUsl because she Is not iull at
The time. The reason o! there being
little difference IN the time at which sue
rise. On several consecutive nights Is that
at these periods her orbit is nearly par.
all" with the horizon. The harvest
moons are rs regular in southern Iati-
tudcs Ms with US IN northern ATTITUDES
only they happen at different periods Of
the yesr.
The harvest moon generally continues
seven or eight days during the latter part
OF September and beginning OF October,
and Is OF much service To- the husband
man in gsrnering his crops.
