The Harvest Moon.

The harvest moon has always been
one of the pleasing legends Of Scotland.
In that high latitude the full moon that
occurs near the Goth of September re-
tains its rounded form with little
change and also rises at near the same
time for several days. That frugal and
superstitious people readily accounted
for the singular phenomenon. 1t was
to furnish additional light to complete
the harvest and so the harvest home
was celebrated when the harvest moon
began to wane. The full moon on the
9Th, is the harvest moon for this year.
The moon here will rise half an hour
later for three evenings instead of the
usual falling back Of three-quarters of
an hour. And so the moon at the end
Of three days will appear as large rs it
usually does at the end Of two days.
The pretty legend of the harvest moon
is only one of the many that the matter
Of fact hand of science has ruthlessly
smashed.
