The Noon Inhabited.

"a Ao0h AunouAV00.
At the astronomical observatory Of
Berlin, says q translation from Nya
Pressen I1elsingfor, a discovery has late
ly been made which. without doubt, will
cause the greatest sensation, not only
among the adopts in science, hut even
among the most learned. Prof. Blend
mann, in that city, has found. beyond a
doubt, that our old friend, the moon, is
not a mere lantern which kindly far
nishes light for the loving youth and
gas companies Of our planet, but the
abode Of living, intelligent beings, for
which he is prepared to furnish proofs
most convincing.
This question has agitated humanity
from time iminemorial, and has been
the object Of the greatest inter est. But
the opinions have always differed very
widely, and no two minds hold one and
the anne Already in ancient times the
belief prevailed that the moon was in
habited with some higher organized, in
tS'bikChb bCiiES, III iiut ICSCilottuk
man, and in order to communicate with
them the earthly enthusiasts planted
rows of trees several miles in length so
as to form the figure Of the ~Pythagorean
theorem. The celebrated astronomer,
Schroeder, in the beginning Of the pres
ent century, fancied that lie could detect
places on the surface Of the moon which
periodically grew lighter and darker,
and from this fact he derived the con-
rlusion that the phenomenon was a
proof Of existing vegetation. During
the last few decades, however, the idea
Of life on the moon has been held up to
ridicule. and totally scorned by men Of
learning. But, nevertheless, it has 10
been proven to be correct.
BY accident DIR. Blendman found that
the observations of the mool gave but
very unsatisfactory results, owing To the
intensity Of the light power OF the
moons atmosphere, which Is that strong
that it affects the co rectness of the Oh.
>ervations in a very high degree. He
then conceived the idea 10 make the Oh
Jet glass Of the ~refractor less sensitive
to the rays Of light, and for that purpose
he darkened 1t with the smoke of cam
phOr. 1t took months Of experimenting
before he succeeded in finding his right
degree of obscurity Of the glass, and
when finally found he then, with the
refractor, took a very accurate photo of
the moons surface. This he placed in
a sun microscope, which gave the pic
ture n diameter Of ffty-ive and a half
feet.
The revelation was most startling. 1t
perfectly overturned all hitherto enter
ideas Of the moons surface.
hose level plains which formerly were
held to &c oceans Of water proved to be
veriant fields, and what was formerly
considered mountains turned out rs
Of sand and oceans Of water.
and habitations Of all kinds were
disccrnable, as well rs signs of
industry and traffic. The learned pro.
study and observations of old
Luna will be repeated every full moon
when the sky is clear, and We venture
10 predict that the time is not far Off
when We shall know more about the
mar in the moon than rs being an agent
in English politics.

ing caused a priests death by starvation,
and e~nticing away THEN daughter. When
the reve end gentleman prots ted his inno-

adm tied the charges, and asked the court
to look into the matter in mitigation of the
sentence. The sentence was withheld pend

the Cronins against the priest.

Yes, it occurs ut Gay Head, Martha's

latter place, some years ago, several
barrels were taken from the green sand
but burned by mistake, or rather
through the ignorance of the finders
At the present day it finds its G eatef
value as an adjunct 10 the smokers out

a jewel and worn as such. In an Irish
tumulus "a cup o famber has been foHnd
that would h@ld halfa pint. The Czar0i
Russia possesses q tea set cut from am
Der blocks that are probably worth
much more than treble their weight in

For commercial purposes the raw
material is separated into different class

be. 1t has many coiors. Green is most
valued, though others prefer black, that

The real amber yellow, however, brings
the best price; the c,oudy is pretty, but
not so valuable"

porter.
YES" was the reply, "both rare and
costly. There is a pie1e weighing eigh-
teen pounds in the Berlin Museum, for
which 81 900 was paid, and previous TO
his 5000 was refused for an eighteen
pound lump found in Prussia. The

Health Of Amcrioen HOE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Mr. Curtis, member,
of the commission appointed by the president
10 investigate diseases among swine, has re-
turned from the West, and submitted his ro.
port to Commissioner Loring. Mr.. Curtis
visited all the great packing houses of Chicago.
and examine the condition of hogs on farms
and reports a great deal less disease amono
Western swine than reported. So far as feed-
ing is concerned, he is satisfied that it is con-
Quoted in a manner conducive to the health of
the animals, and declares there is absolutely
no foundation for reports circulated, to the
effect that hogs were fed on ofal from slaugb-
ter houses and farms. Curtis expresses the
opinion that two inspectors in each packing
house would be sufficient to thoroughly in
spect al pork for foreign or domestic markets.
The report states that Western people were
found extremely anxious for the adoption of an
efficient system of inspection of pork, so that
they as we'll as the foreign markets may he
protected against trichinosis aud similar dis-
eases. Therefore, they are willing to co-oper-
ate heartily with every attempt made by lie
government to give American pork a good
reputation, based upon thoroughly good Quail
tY. IL Is suggested by Commissioner Lorinp
that western hogs might be improved bv the
Infusion OF new blood OF good quality, as close
'ln-and-ln" breeding pursued by many. as
pecially IN the case of P~oland-Chiha bors
tended to increase the production of ia Ean1
somewhat enervate the constitution of tho ami
mails. Tho full commission to investigate dis
eases OF American swine will be called together
az me department of agriculture in January
next commissioner Loriug has no doubt that
they wiz De >oady to report at that time.
