THE MOONS APPARENT DISTANCE.

NJ. Plateau lately sought to estimate the dis
lance to which the moon Is mentally referred
in the sky by getting some one, after looking
at that body. to project tire accidental image
on a wall, then move to or from the wall TIL
Uhe diameter Of the image seemed equal TO thdt
of the moon and he obtained the distance 81
metres. Again, Professor ThirOn, of Namnr
got twelve students to draw on blackboard n
circle the size of the moon as it appeared to
them. The circles varied from nineteen to
scventy-ninc centimetrcs, mean thirty-two ctm.,
andif vas Suffered that the distance was mentally
referred, on the average, tn about thirty live
metres. DIR. Carpenter, by still another
method obtain the value 1919 metres, so that
there are great differences, and in any case the
distance is much less than might have been
thought. NJ Plateau has further applied acct
dental images to finding the distance to which
the imaginary celestial vault Is referred. y

LIGHT AND NEAR-sIGHTEDNEss.

Professor Pickering, of Harvard Observatory,
points ont III Nature that the color OF gas-light
has nothing to do with its painful eject upon
the eyes of students and others. 10 test this
question he had "a tin lamp-shade constructed,
consisting of "A tube six inches in diameter 10y
eight in length. One end was closed by re-
tlectCr, and the other 10y piece OF very ight
blue glass. Two holes were made IN the sues,
through which passed the glass chimney OF an

. LIFE-sAvING APPLIANCES IN FIRE, r

american, has caused general awakening to

occasions and has opened the way to the ready
acceptance of new devices which may be calcu-
lated to prevent similar disasters i'll the future.
Among the devices called for are extension
ladders capable of reaching to the upper floors
of lofty buildings means of throwing lfe-lnes

may have taken temporary refuge from lire;

Deplorable.

Vanity Fair of March 4th, says
The statistics of the last census show
that we have an army of 100000
habitual drunkards in the Unitedi
States, 100000 of whom are in the
prisons and 100000 in the Aims
houses; and 100000 children of
druukards are dependent on private
or public charity for support in
whole or in part. Besides this,
more money is expended for intox-
icating liquors than or educational
purposes, food and clothing. And
what is equally as bad, carefully ex-
amined statistics prove that our
Insane Asylums are filed with
victims of intemperance. The in
sanity of majority of the inmates
is attributed to intoxicating liquors.
To support these institutions of
charity and crime, the people are
burdened with taxes. Sabbath
breaking has had much to do with
increasing the army of drunkards.
