A LUNAR COLUMBUS.
The Alleged Discoveries of English As
tronomer Relative to the Moon.
lPhiladelphiR InQuirerl


Most people old enough TO have known
anything of il, or to have been told OF it by
their immediate pr0genitors remember
about the moon hoax. The idea of intelli-
gent inhabitants OH the earth's well-knoHn
and popular satellite seems to possess fas-
cination for the human mind, and it is now
reported that amazing and unprecedented
luDaTy discovery, which is said to have been
made by an English Professor rejoicing in
the name of Blendmann
The gentleman, as it appears by the story,
hit upon the idea that the trouble with the
moon was that instead of not having light
enough, the astronomer bad entirely too
much light to see her by. The intensity OF
the light power OF the moons atmosphere
be found was so great as seriously to affect
the correctness of the observation. Forci
bly, struck with this idea as DR.. Hahne mann
was with that of the man who jumped into
q second bramble bush to scratch in again
"homo-hop-athically" the eyes which the
Professor set sbout dIvising some
means of making the object glass of
his refractor less refractory. which
he did by smoking the glass with the smoke
of camphor, when, after months of expert
ment, ne got photograph of the moon IN
just the required sort of twilight. This pho
togJap phi be magnified IN solar microscope
fifty-five feet. when lol his research was re-
warded by the appearance of towns, hsoita-
tons, fields and seas. and signs OF industry
and traffic At last accounts the Professor
was still continuing his researches. 1t is not
stated that he worked with more than one
glass, but the accounts of what he
saw indicate that he had several.
1T is not safe in these days." said
a high school professor and distinguished
electrician, to whom q paragraph from a
London paper gravely detailing the Blend
mann discoveries was submitted, sit is not
safe to say that anything told of the results
of scientific research may not be true but
don't believe that" Then he pointed out
the internal evidence in the account itself
against its correctness Astronomers he
said, no doubt saw the actual surface of the
moon through its extremely attenuated
atmosphere. if it had any. That it was
a WORKOUT world was evident. Posi-
bly,, assuming the correctness of the evolu-
ton theory, it was fragment of the earth.
If so, ii no doubt once had seas but they had
probably been withdrawn into the inside. At
lesst there were none visible on the outside.
Again, TO magnify an object required 20 wer-
full light. Ii was precisely With the object OF
getting a strong light that telescopes were
made larger and larger, and if the scientist
found he had too much why did he not sim
ply use a smaller telescope? The camphor
smoke and the diameter OF 90 feet made the
Professor smile. and he said he had never
met or beard of the enterprising and saga
cious Bendmann.

fault-the stage stopping propensity. But
criminals fully as interesting in their ex-
plots as BLACK Bart" or even as Joaquin
Murietta and Tiburcio Vasouez, the Spanish

Tales of their adventures, yet told in pi-

merest fragments.
