to have been mistaken; but If not, then
any little argument a light would be in
appreciate in competition with The flood
OF sun illumination. The time to look for
1t Is from few DAYS after the new moon
to ihree days beto'e the full, when the
spot is on the uniluminRted part OF the
disk.
There can be nOquestion that such a
change, II there be, is stupendous ore,
or IL could not beperceived even family
at tue enormous distance OF some 24O,0
miles, which ordinarily separates us from
our companion in the annual journey
around the sun. And the phenomenon
would be all the more interesting, as the
astronomers have for many years been OF
the opinion that the moon Is dled-out
world. She is generally spoken OF as en-
tirely destitute OF air and water on her
surface. The TACT is that we know she
mas not an atmosphere which would pal
ance in our barOmeters a column of mer-
curry more than the thirtieth part OF an
incn in height, or say about 0ne-thou-
sandth part as much as is forced up into
the tube by the earth's atmosphere.
Within that very small limit she may pos
sess an envelope OF air, for all that We
know to the contrary, and some recent
observations favor the idea that the moon
has some such film of atmosphere sur
rounding her, at least on that side which
is turned toward us. or course water is
an tmpOssibility in the absence of air, as
1t is kept in the liquid condition only by
atmospheric pressure. Remove that ana
the water would vapOrize to form an at
mosphere of vapor which would be easily
recognized by us. Hence on the most ia
vOrable suppOsltion any form OF organic
life with winch we are acquainted could
not exist to start fire there, and 1t Is
difficult to see where such hre could
obtain the oxygen necessary to support
combustion. 1t may, therefore, be safely
concluded that the reddish glare of light
claimed to have been seen by the French
astronomers cannot be a signal Intended
by the scientists to open UP communlca-
ton with us. The only conceivable eX-
PLANTATION of the phenomenon would be
that it is fire of volcanic origin, an
eruption of red-hot matter from beneath
the lunar crust, which is not yet solidited
to the point where such an outbreak can
only belong to the dead past. The fact, II
it be one, will gain additional interest
from the observations of the crater Lin
n8us, which is thought to have under
gone extensive changes within the last
few years.
The fact that our Mount Etna is now in
an unwonted stage of activity after the
fearful outbursts in the Straits OF Sunda
and in the northwest part Of our own con-
tinent, is suggestive one in connection
with the alleged exhibition OF lunar &C
tivity. Can it be that both bodies-the
earth as well as the moOn--are acting in
response to some grand agency of cosmic
origin, and passing through period of
convHisive throes akin to that which
marks the phase of greatest activity in
the formation OF sun spots? There may
II
glance at the matter will reveal, but it is
too early in the history Of philosophical
research to reason very closely on the
subject.

How the Queen Travels.

from me Lennon run.
A telegram was received at Perth from
Balmoral on Thursday afternoon direct
ing that the platform was TO be kept "en-
tirely free from the public" while the
royal train was in the station. 1t was,
however, impossible 10 comply with this
nOnsensical request, which probably
came from some ollicous underling, as
the Queen passed through Perth at the
busiest hour Of the evening. Contrary 10
the usual custom, the royal party did not
stop Tor dinner, but that meal was handed
into one OF the day saloons, which had
been lifted up as dining room, and was
consumed on the journey between Perth
and Stirling, the dishes all being taken
out at Larbert TO be sent back to Perth.
The Queen came TO the door of the saloon
during the nine minutes that the train
stopped at Perth and cOnversed with Mrs.
Drummond, OF Meggluch; Mrs. Smythe,
OF Methvin, and Sir James Richardson, OF
Pitcour, who had brought her large bas-
ket Of most beautiful aowers.

THE0soPHY and INSANITY.
A Massachusetts Lady Made Mad

From, the Boston Record.

in suburb of Boston a gentleman Is
engaged in professional work IN which he
has received no little direct assistance and
much sustaining sympathy and encOur-
agement from his wife. who was woman
OF remarkable strength and pOise Of

which she did for her husband, she had
the cares of a family of children. One
day a friend who called asked her If she
had read Edwin ArnOld's "Light OF
Asia" She said that she had NOT, and
her visitor next day sent her her copy OF
the poem. 1t was read, and the lady was

By the way, a bright and practical
woman, MOI so much a disciple of Mrs.

LIFE IN PARAGUAY.
Mosquitoes That Almost Knock You
Down by Flying Against You.
Correspondence Chicdgo Ae1rs.


The mosquitoes in the upper river re-
giOns are monumental. They are large.
1t is difficult to regard them as mosqul-
toes. They run against you as If biting
were only a secondary thought or weapon.
They are poor musicians, taken singly;
but taken by the hundred millions they
are success. They are quite numerous.
w hen the rising river drives them out Oh
the pastures they are said to nearly
d3rken the sun. The old statement about
New Jersey mosquitoes, that mauy OF
them weigh a pound is not true here, for
1t does not take so many OF them. lue
ride up the river is one never 10 De lor-
gotten. Up the La Plata 100 miles, up the
Parana 800 miles and up the Paraguay
200 miles, all the time on most oeautl-
fui sheet of water. From $50 miles at The
mouth of the La Plata the current we
follow narrOWs down to less than three
miles. The shores are bold enough TO
stand against the river, but they do NOT
shut out the panorama OF the rich ana
limitleSs plains, waving with grass ana
wild flowers and dotted here and there
with patches Of forest. As we are gong
up toward the equator we soon come TO
semi tropical and tropical vegetation.
the plans are undulating and crossed
by streams. The dark green of the forest,
interspersed with lowering shrubs and
Towering trees, and the many shades OF
green that characterize the grasses ana
underground, give perpetual variety and
rest to the scenery. The river. sweeping
on in an almost straight line, like a
ajestlc, cOnquering army, Is varied IN
every league by the countless islands
among which we make our delightful
way. Now we can see the channel wind
ing around and past these emeralds set in
the silver of the river. Again, that which
seemed to be the mainland along which
we were cOasting suddenly ends and we
see between the islands, away across a
smooth stretch Of water, sparkling in the
sun like a sheet of silver for leagues, to a
distant shore that may be only other
islands. Wild fowls start up as our
steamer pants along, circle about us and
light to survey us. Crows stand on the
bank and wonder; geese and ducks
move off at right lines, and fiocks
of beautiful white birds stand in
rows on the mud banks of the river like
rows of ivory teeth. The picture is CT
marvellous beauty, changing with every
mile.
But more impressive than the beauty is
the wealth of the soil and the dense
rankness of the vegetation. One must
see the waving Of the harvests, the noa'
ding corn tassels, the blooming cotton
fields, the rich coffee plantations, the
sugar thickets, and the abundant fruits
that in the near tomorrow shall feed and
enrich teeming population
