His Prediction OF what thee ,ick TEL
escope VIII DO.
Mr.. Frank Reed. OF San FRANCISCO.
had published circular styled afhs
Lick Telescope and the Moon, " from
which the following extracts are made:
Before the great telescope Is turned
upon tho moon and the other planets.
as they are called. it Ii we'll TO let the
world know beforehand what will be
discovered.
All the celestial bodies outside the
earth are only balls of electricity in its
most condensed form. All the stars arc
of about the density of water. and a
mans body would sink in them the
same as il they were water.
And now comes the greatest discov-
cry. The so-called mountains. volcan-
ocs, lakes, etc. of the moon are only
photographs or reflections OF our earth.
l made the discovery that the spots
upon the moon always appeared with
out changing their position. The part
that Is up in the east will appear
down in the west. When the moon
appears to hang on her corner or lay
on her back the spots remain as be-
fore.
Now for an explanation OF what
causes the changes OF the m oon fulling
and waning:
A thick bank of dark gases gathers
in the earth's atmosphere. and hides the
moon from view. AS these gases ac-
cumulate the atmosphere of the earth
is expanded, and this forces the moon
away from us about twenty thousand
niles. at which point 1t becomes mega
tive. and is attracted toward the earth.
At the time of new moon the gases
completely envelope the earth. and the
moon and sun are exactly on line.
Twenty-four hours later the moon has
fallen back about $50 miles. and in
doing SO she has. through her magnetic
power in connection with the sun.
forced a cap through these gases and
now shows us little of her surface.
lhe ola theory, tliat the sun SHINING
upon the moon caused the changes.
would be one of the most miraculous
affairs in all nature. for we know that
the syn will shine sas much upon the
surface OF globe at one time MS an
other. and globe can not be turned so
that more light will shine upon IT at one
time or in one position than in an
other.
When my theory is accepted. rs 1t
will be in short time. for no other OK
planaton can be given, will explain
to tho world what becomes of the gases
that cause the fulling and waning of
the moon, aud will also explain what
causes the ocean tides.

The Democrats who were unable

which has staggered Republicans
and Democrats alike.
1t Is a larger majority than the
one given Blame in the Presidential
election of 1884.
There were many local causes in
the Maine contest which foreshad-
owed q different result. Putnam,

This Democratic corporation guar
anteed his election and threw their
power and money in behind him
and made the heaviest sack fight
ever made in the State.
In fact their campaign was so
vigorous that the Republicans ex-
pected to see the State go by a
largely reduced majority, and two
weeks ago even feared the loss OF
the head Of the ticket, against
which the railroad was making a
special fight.
The result shows the drift of the
silent vote. which ever since the
National Conventions has heen

HOW CLEVELAND FIGHTS
NEVADA.

The Administration can never
get over it's hatred for Nevada,
which cast its electoral vote for
Blaine.
Just now the miners are being
vexed by Investigations and timber
suits, and they are hauled up be-
fore the. Courts like felons. because
in the prosecution OF their business
they cut scrubby timber, which,
were it to be left for 100 years
would never be large enough to be
of any commercial value. The
stunted mountain cedar is never fit
for anything but fire wood, and it
10 so small that whole tree can be
packed on the back of mule.
For cutting this sort Of timber to
use in the mining business, men
Who stand well in the business
community are hunted and har-
raised by spies, and their names
are autographed over the country as
common criminals.
Tie mail routes are cut down SO
that people can get only half serv-
ice, and very poor service at that,
and the borax and lead industries
are also being assailed by the free
trade outfit led by Cleveland.
The Mint has been almost demol-
ished as part of the eight against
silver, and Nevada wool comes IN
for its share of the blows. All in
all ne State in the Union has been
- persistantly kicked and thumped
a Nevada, and the people are just
aching for election day to roll
around that they may express their
feelings At the ballot box.
Il is alleged that the Democrats

carry it. All the coin in the hands

Golden Club rolled in on top could
not carry Nevada for Grover Cleve.
