PHASES OF THE MOON.

Says Richard Proctor: The time in
which the moon passes through all her
phases is about twenty-nine and half
days, and is called a lunar month. You
can illustrate the moons phases very
we'll with small white ball, in a room
lit by one bright lamp, near one side of
the room. If, standing as far away
from the lamp as you conveniently can,
you turn slowly round, holding out at
arms length the small ball suspended
by thread, or, better. placed on the
end of an upright knitting needle. you
will see the ball passing through all the
changes of the moon, except, perhaps.
one. When the ball as you turn round,
is farthest from the lamp, your head
will probably be in the way of the
lamps rays, so that the ball will not be
seen fully lit up, like the moon when
she is opposite the sun. If the ball is
on the end of a long knitting needle,
however, you will see it then like the
full moon.
This little experiment illustrates an
other change which the moon sometimes
seems to lose her light on one side.
Gradually more and more is lost, until
at last she either disappears altogether,
or shines only with dull blood red OF
coppery red color. That is because,
like the ball in your experiment, she
comes into the shadow of the body round
which she is travelling. Usually the
moon, as she circles round the earth
passes either above or below this shad
ow, but sometimes she passes right into
it. She would then disappear altogeth
er land sometimes she does), but the
air around our earth, by bending the
suns rays inwards towards the axis o.
the shadow, lights up the moon with tht
same sort of ruddy light which we re
ceive from the sun at sunset. For a
that time it is only because of the airs
action in bending his rays that we see
the moon at all. So the sun still pour,
a ruddy light on the moon when she il
immersed in the earth's shadow
least he usually does. When the moor
disappears altogether, | suppose it il
because clouds prevent our air from
acting on his rays in the way have de

A FRUIT DEALERS PRACTICAL
JOKE.

Yesterday fruit-dealer on Market
street, incensed by the liberties taken
by the loafers with his wares displayed
at the door, placed q half gallon of cay
enne peppers in a basket, labelled it
"New Zealand cherries" and hung it
in conspicuous place in front of his
stand. In few minutes the next door
merchant sauntered up, inquired how
trade was, picked up New Zealand
cherry, placed it in his mouth. and sud-
denly left to attend to customer. The
Rev. DIR. Bolly next rounded to observed
that the yellow fever news from Mem
phis was not very encouraging this
morning, and-ah it had been years
since he had eaten New Zealand cher
ry, whereupon he ate one remarked that
it was superb, wiped his weeping eyes
on his coat sleeve, supposed that New
Zealand was getting warmer every year,
wished the dealer good morning Ia
mentlng the growing weakness of his
eyes in the sunlight.
A chronic dead beat then came up,
took mouthful of cherries, spluttered
them out with an imprecation, all over
the fruit. stuffed pear, a banana and a
bunch of grapes into his mouth to take
out the taste, informed the dealer thai
he would have him arrested for keeping
green fruit, and went down the street tc
the pump. A lady with two children
next appeared, stopped to admire the
cherries, asked if she might not just
taste of them-she had never seen any
before-supplied the children and walk
ed away,-walked away with face fiery
with scorn and anger, while the children
! set up howl that brought all the peo
pie to the door and windows and drove
all the policemen off the street.

GEN. GEORGE I'll. THOMAS.

1t was right that Gen. Thomas should
have worthy monument at the capital
of the country he fought for. and that
it should be inaugurated with all the
dignity that immense multitudes and an
imposing parade, and notable speeches
by the most distinguished soldiers could
give to the occasion-for he was faithful
among the faithless. When the war
broke out he was Major of the Second
United States cavalry, of which Albert
Sidney johnson was Colonel, and Robert
E. Lee Lieutenant Colonel, and of which
Gen. Hardee and other rebel officers were
members Thomas and Lee were inti-
mate friends, as we'll as brother officers
in the same regiment They were both
scions of wealthy and exclusive families
Of the old Dominion, both were trained
soldiers, both entered the army in early
youth, and obtained special promotion
for high merit, both were confronted
when the rebellion opened with the great
question, State or Country? Lee hesitat-
ed and was lost. Thomas saw his duty,
and did it. He never for moment
wavered in his loyalty to the flag and
the government. Thomas and Lee never
fought directly against each other, for
their commands were in different fields.
If they had been matched against each
other. the rebel chieftain would have
been compelled to own that in his old
comrade he had an opponent worthy of
his steel. For Gen. Thomas was one of
the few generals of the war whose record
shows no serious blunders or reverses.
Thomas was with the Army of the
Cumberland from first to last. He mus
tered into service its first brigade. He
