Tho Earth and the Moon.

Once upon time, many millions of
years ago, the Earth and Moon, then
young, hot and plastic, were very near
each other, revolving around their COM
mon center of gravity once in from
three to six hours, and also whirling
on their axes in the same time, so as to
keep always 0is-a-avs. Probably at
,me time before this they had formed
a single mass, which on account of
s )me unevenness of density or figure,
separated into two under the rapid ro-
tation. But starting from the condition
first named when day and month were
equal and each about four hours long,
Mr.. Darwin has shown that it is essen
TALLY an unstable state of affairs, and
that if the Moon were brought ever SO
little nearer to the Earth, it would then
draw closer and closer with ever-in-
creasing speed, until at last it would re-
JOIN the parent mass; but if, on the
other hand, its distance from the Earth
were ever so slightly increased. then it
would begin to recede, and would
slowly withdraw farther and farther
from the Earth. AS it recedes both
day and month will lengthen; the
month at first most rapidly and then
the day, until finally, in some far dis
tant future, a condition of stable equil-
ibrium will be attained when day and
month will again equal each other, the
period then being something less than
sixty Of our present days, and the cor
responding distance of the Moon about
90 per cent. greater than at present.
After that, so far as their mutual inter-
action is concerned, there will be no
farther change, but mother and daugh-
ter will live forever happily-apart -

our frontier. They are very sure-footed
and many of them are perfectly beauti-
ful in symmetry. They are speedy for
their size, and wonderful jumpers !;
they are very docile, for they are-like
the pure Arabs handled from their
birth, and only require shoeing when
Brought upon the macadamized roads.
They have good deal Of Arab blood
in them, too, for Shan has as keen an
eye for horse as Yorkshireman, and
many of them purchased officers Arab
chargers in days gone by, and took them
to their own country. The ordinary
Burman pony is very like the ''tat" of
India, but they get through lot Of
work, and Burman will perfer one of
his own breed to thatof the Shans-prob-
ably because they cost tenth of what
is asked for the latter; but they are
harder, and will live where Shan pony
would strive. The saddles, brides
and strrups in use among the Burmese
are very peculiar. A Burman rides
principally by balance; the knees are
well away from the saddle, and when
necessary they hold on by their heels.
Only the great toe is inserted in the
stirrup Ungainly and unsafe as APP
pears their seat, they get over the
ground wonderfully we'll and seldom fall
off The ponies are all taught to amble,
and a good PAGER will fetch long price.
