A View from the Moon.

From Professor Langley's illustrat-
ed article on "ThG Planets and the
Moon, in his series on 1.-The New
Astronomy" IN the March Century,
we quote the following: "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 OR ken; and
it is questionable whether the largest
ship on the ocean would be visible,
for the popular idea as to the magni
flying power of great telescopes is ex-
aggerated. 1t is probable that under
any but extraordinary circumstances
our lunar observer with our best tele-
scopes could not bring the earth within
less than an apparent distance of 500
miles and the reader may adge how
large moving object must be to be
seen. much less recognized, by the
naked eye at such a distance.
"Of course, chief interest of the
supposition we are making lies in the
fact that it will give us measure of
our own ability to discover evidences
of life in the moon, if 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 favor
able circumstances. Any army such,.as
Napoleon led to Russia might conceiv-
ably be visible if it moved III a dark,
solid column across the snow. 1t is
barely possible that such vessel as
one of the largest ocean steamships
might be seen, under very favorable
circumstances, as moving dot; and
it is even quite probable that such a
conhagratlon as the great fire of Chi
cago would be visible in the lunar
telescope as something like reddish
STR on the night side of our planet
but this is all in this sort that could be
discerned.
by making minute maps, or still
better, photographs, and comparing
one year with another, much however
might have been done by our lunar
observer during this century. In its
beginning, IN comparison to the vast
forests which then covered the North
American continent, the cultivated
fields along its eastern seaboard would
have looked to him like a golden
fringe bordering a broad mantle OF
green; but now he would see that the
golden fringe has pushed aside the
green farther back than theMississippi,
and would gather his best evidence
from the fact surely noteworthy
one) that man, as represented by the
people of the United States, has
changed one of the features of his
world during the present century to a
degree visible in another planet"

DIR. PETER COLLIER, of the u. s. ag
ricultural department at Washington,
delivered an address before the n Y.
chamber of commerce recently on the
sorghum industry, dwelling especially
on the Importance of making sugar at
low cost. He thinks the American peo.
pie ought to make their own sugar, and
that they can do so he has no doubt Just
as soon rs the facts of which he is in
possession are recognized by the masses
md have attracted the attention of cap
italists. The doctor thinks it by no
means improbable that sorghum was
the plant that Pharaoh saw in his
dreams, and its seed the corn which the
sons of Jacob went down into Egypt to
buy during theirseyen years OF famine.
Sorghum Could be made aS valuable a
crop as that Of Indian corn.

CUTTING GLASS WITH SCISSORS.
Under Water as Easily with the
Ordinary Diamond Gutter
N. Y. Mail and Express.

N. L NAL iIlu press.
Many persons may not be aware
that glass can be cut under water,
with the greatest ease, to almost any
shape, by simply using pair of
shears or strong scissors. In order to
insure success, two points must be at
tended to-first, and most important,
tie glass must be kept quite level in
the water while the scissors are ap-
piled and, secondly, TO avoid risk. it
is better to begin the cutting by taking
off small pieces at the corners and
along the edges, and to reduce the
shape gradually to that required, for
if any attempt is made TO. cut the glass
to the shape, as we would cut a piece
of cardboard, it will be most likely to
break just where it is not wanted.
Some kinds of glass cut much better
than others; the softer glass is the
best for this purpose. The scissors
need not depend on the state of the
edge presented to the glass. When
the operation goes on WELL the glass
breaks away from the scissors in small
pieces in straight line with the blade.
This method of cutting glass has often
been of service, when diamond has
not been at hand, for cutting ovals
and segments, and though the edges
are not as smooth as might be desired
for some purposes, it will answer in
many cases. The two hints given
above, ifstrictly followed, will always
insure success.
