CHANGES ON THE MOON.
a Suspension Bridge Forty Miles Long
Nothing to Speak OF.

The first fall meeting Of the American
Astronomical Society took place last
Tuesday evening in the Packer Institute,
New York. Among the new members
elected were three ladies of scientific at
tainments. Mr.. G.. p. Serviss, Secretary
Of the society, read a paper ON the
Changes on the MOOn.' He said that if
the moon was inhabited, engineers there
would be able, on account of the slight
force of gravity, to build a suspension
bridge across a volcanic crater forty miles
in diameter, or in building railroads to
tumble mountains out of the way like
mole hills.
''Although the moon is dead planet"
he continued, ''yet changes do take place
on the surface. CraterS have sunk prob
ably by the crltmbling of mountain wall.
HumbOlt noted a similar phenomenon in
the falling in of the top of the Capac
Urcu, or Prince of Mountains, in Ecua-
dor, in the fifteenth century, which drop
ped over 1900 feet. In 1866, Schmidt, of
Athens, missed the crater of Lime from
the Sea of Serenity in the moon. 1t was
81 miles across, and, Prof. Proctor says,
perhaps miles deep. Only a slight ele-
yatiOn now marks the place where the
mountain Stood"
Professor Stevens suggested that the
mountains in the moon might crumble,
III consequence Vi Iue ulheIeHt JeihpeId-
lures on the side of the moon presented
to the sun and OH that which is turned
away from the sun. AS there could be
little atmosphere around the planet, the
side next to the sun must be almost like
molten lead, while on the opposite side it
must be like ice. Expansion and con-
traction of the towering volcanic masses
might weaken them, and in time cause
them to tumble. Professor Eaton did not
believe that the astronomers had recently
discovered vapor as they had hoped.
