A View from the NIonn.


professor Langley in The Century
The truth is, however, that looking at the
earth from the moon the largest moving
animal, the whale or the elephant, would be
utterly beyond our ken; and it is question
able whether tine largest ship On the ocean
world he visible, for tho popular ilea as to
the magnifying power of great telescopes is
exaggerated. 1t is probable that under any
but extraordinary circumstances our lunar
observer with our best telescopes could not
bring the earth within less than an apparent
distance of 500 miles; and the reader may
judge how large moving object must be
to be seen much less recognized, by the
nake1 eye at such distance.
OF course chief interest of the suppo-
sition we are making lies In the fact that II
will give us q measure of our own ability to
discover evidences of life in the moon, il
there are any such as exist here; and in this
point Of view it is worth while to repeat that
scarcely any temporary phenomenon due to
human action could be visible from the
moon under the most favoring circum
stances. An army such as Napoleon
led to Russia might conceivably bt
visible il it moved in dark solid
column across the snow. 1t il
barely possible that such a vessel as one
of the largest ocean steamships might b
seen, under very favorable circumstances
as a moving dot; and it is even quite prob
able that such conflagration as the great
fire of Chicago would be visible in the lunar
telescope as something like a reddish star on
the night side of our planet but this is al
in this sort that could be discerned.

What a Woman Barber Says OF Her Sex

A shampoo or hairdressing chair is good
place to study the character of women, for
their true nature comes out while they are
being soaped and rubbed by one of their
own sex. The truth is, that very few women
have good head of hair, and those who
have don't get the credit for it, because SC
much false hair Is worn that people won't
believe a woman when she says she wears
only her own hair. l have some customers
whose hair is so thick that they come to me
every two months to have it thinsd out
We have it hard enough now, goodness
knows, trying to get along with our own
sex Women who are all smiles and as sweet
as honey in society are peevish and cross
when they have their hair dressed OF are be-
ing shampooed. Red-haired women have
fearful tempsrs, for they scold US awfully
when we chance to pull their hair trifie too
hard. Blondes are generally mica and easy
to manage but sometimes they do cut up
like sin. These blonde women can fume,
and fret, and scold like termlgants when
they get their mad up. Black AMI bro wn

BOSTON, April lS.--People on Washington
street, near Young's hotel, at noon Thurs
day, witnessed a lively scrimmage between
two pretty and fashionably dressed young
women. Just as a horse-car was opposite
the court leading into tho hotel richly
dressed lady threw open the front door and
jumped off without waiting for the car to
stop. Another woman sprang after her,
and, catching up with her before she
reached the sidewalk made q tigerish
ASA ult on her with her finger nails
The assailant scratched the victims face,
choked her badly, and ended by tearing off
her new spring bonnet, capturing several
handfuls of hair along with it The as
saulted woman did little to defend herself
and suddenly tainted on the sidewalk, while
her assailant slipped away from the crowd
and escaped, carrying off her vanquished
opponents hat and veil The assaulted lady
was assisted into a carriage and drove off
The names of the parties could not be as
certained, but it is known that they are re-
specially connected 1t is also said that
jealousy prompted the assault-the victors
husband being the bone of contention.
