Most persons are under the impression
that this familiar expression refers only
to the faint appearance of a face which
the moon presents when full. But those
better acquainted with folk lore re
aware that the object referred to under
the name of the Mar in the Moon is a
dusky resemblance to a human figure
which appears on the western side of the
lluminary when eight days old. The
figure is something like that of a man in
the act of climbing, and carrying a thorn
push upon his back. There is u detached
object before him which looks something
like a dog. Among various nations it is
a popular notion that this figure is the
man referred to in the book of Numbers
{xy. % ct seq J as having been detected by
the children OF Israel in the wilderness
in the act of gathering sticks on the Sab
bath Day, and whom the Lord directed
to be stoned to death without the camp.

Professor Bruylants, of the University
of London, Is credited with a curious lit
tie experiment. He writes a word on a
sheet OF paper resting Ncn several other
sheets, from which he draws one bearing
no trace OF the pencil marks. Gu expos
ing ", however, over Il heated capsule
containing iodine Tor $ few minutes, the
paper is seen TO grow yellowish, and the
letters OF tine word stand u in a violet
brown color. Or moisteDing the paper,
the letters appear as violet on a blue
GROUND. M. Leconte. who gives an ac-
count of this experiment. says that it will
also reveal the words effaced from paper
by a correspondent. Prof. Bruylauts ex-
plains it on the ground that pnper con-
taius starch, and under the Influence Of
moisture and pressure forms a slight
quantity of hydramide, a substance an-
alogous to hydrated starch, which forms
al d temperature Of go degrees c.. The
iodine colors the starch blue. In writing.
the pressure of the pencil forces the
! water from the flores OF the paper, n a
little hydrainIde is formed, which is col
ored by the iodine more deeply than the

The Uncertainties of Expert Testi-

The Uncertainties of Expert Testi-
mOny.
The testimony in the Gordon will
case affords one more illustration of
OF the untrustworthiness of expert
opinion. Dealing with the simpler
facts of elemental chemistry, the men
of science find it not impossible
to be of one mind. They have all
been over the ground SO often
that the facts are pretty we'll agreed
upon. But the moment they get into
the realms Of what may be called the
new chemistry, where infinitessimall
chances of constituent parts produce
absolute change of physical character
and properties, then the chemists find
themselves just as much at sea as the
doctors do when they cannot cut the
patient open to find out what is the
matter with him.
In this Gordon case. more than one
expert swore that he had never seen
the objects or materials concerning
which he testified, had never per-
formed the experiments or witnessed
the reactions on which the conclusions
he drew were p~redicated. He took
his facts from the chemical text books.
It seems to us that this is a
very weak form OF evidence. The
common practice is for experts,
il the special matter submitted
to them is only known to them by
theory, to begin operations with a
thorough experimental urs cover
ing the whole field Of investigation,
in order that they may be able to tes-
tify to the facts on their W personal
responsibility. Perhaps some of the
discrepancies may be traced to this
cause.
1t is strange to the layman to see
m chemist go on the witness stand
and swear that the tests for eosione
are absolutely conclusive, the reac-
tions of certain chemical preparations
upon it being unique and peculiar,
and another chemical expert, imme-
diately after, testifying positively that
a material called aurine will give pre-
cisely the same results as eosine, when
treated with the same reagents. What
is one to conclude? Does the former
expert know nothing about aurine, or
is the latter one mistaken about the
properties of eosine2 Or is the whole
subject so complex and uncertain thai
human intelligence is still all at sea
about it?
But why complain Of the uncer-
tainties of expert testimony when we
have such odd vagaries of mere ordin-
DRY commonplace memory of facts to
deal with as those displayed by Law
yer Henry Adams. Mr.. Adams sweers
at one time that a certain draft was
made in 1868, and that he saw Mr..
Gordon correct it in red ink. Again
he swears that he was probably mis-
taken. and that the document in ques-
ton is probably a much later copy of
the draft made in 1868. Queer isn't it,
The only inference n can draw
from the whole business is that the
faculty of the human mind for identi-
flying itself with any given
set Of facts is irresisti-
bile. We have all heard it said
Of me that they had told this or that
story SO often that they had almost
come to believe it. Thus in a pro-
tracted lawsuit, the mind Of a witness
dwelling on the facts and on the view
Of them that he wishes to prevail,
gradually remoaels. his own recollee-
tions. BY q little suppression here
