Is There snow on the Moon9

Remarkable discoveries have been
made at the Lick observatory, Cali,
fornia, Professor Holden, the director,
has secured through the big telescope
better photographs of tho moon than
have been taken anywhere else, and the
work of photographiug goes on every
hour when the satellite ts visible, BY
studying these photographs with mag
nifying glass and comparing them, any
changes taking place on the surface OF
the moon may be discovered.
The astronomers on Mount Hamilton
have discovered some things that nobody
else ever saw, but they have not deter
mined whether these are new features
or things that are too small to have been
seen through less powerful telescope.
For example, upon the top Of one of the
mountains of the moon the photograph
shows luminous white spot which
looks like snow. If that Is snow, and II
it was not there before, the presence OF
| an atmosphere is indicated. It has been
believed that the moon has DO atmos-
| phere, and therefore is uninhabitable,
but if it should be demonstrated that
snow falls upon the surface Of the satel.
lite, the accepted theory would be upset
and astronomers would begin to study
the moon with new and greater interest.
Objects upon the moon are detected
by their shadows, and projection OF
eminence fifty feet high casts shadow
large enough to be seen through Vhe
| Lick telescope. If Professor Holden,
studying his series of photographs,
should discover some day new shadow
where none had been cast before, when
the moon was in the same position and
under the same light, he would know
that something had been erected upon
the surface, either part Of tho crust up.

Those who have been trying to keep
up with the times by reading the dis
patches concerning the holy coat recent
ly put on exhibition at Treves, the old
town in Rhenish Prussia, have failed, of
course in finding the information that
would naturally be most interesting,
viz, How and where the sacred ga1 1ment
has been kept during the past nineteen
centuries.
The coat Is said to have been spun by
tho Virgin Mary herself from the wool
of a lamb and woven into q gray coat by
st. Helena on the Mount of Olives. 1t
came into the hands of Jew soon after
the crucifdon, who threw 1t into the
sea because the blood stains would not
wash out. A whale swallowed it. The
whale was caught by fisherman and the
gray coat found in its belly. It was next
sold to Orendel, son of Eygel, a Christian
king of Treves, for thirty pieces of silver.
Oreudel deposited it in stone coffin.
Being discovered, it became sacred relic
and has since been kept at the cathedral
OF Treves.-St. Louis Republic.

To Make the Winter Seem Short.

81 am fearful that we are going to
have long and very cold winter" sug-
gested middle aged man 10 the stran-
ger that sat beside him in railway car
on the Harlem road last Wednesday
evening. No response came from the
stranger, who wore tired look on his
face and did not appear to be sociable.
81 say am afraid we will have a long
and very cold winter" repeated the So
ciable passenger.
"Well, if that is worrying you," said
the other man, arousing himself out of
his reverie with nervous jerk, "just
go and give somebody promissory
note for four months for an amount
larger than you can hope TO pay. Then
you'll find that this winter will pass
away so quick that you won't have a
chance to get cold. New York Times.

' The first steps from poverty into aftlu.
ence are frequently accompanied by a
great desire tor display. This fact has had
not a little to 10 with the character OF the
domestic architecture Of America. Ours
Is a new country, and originally country
with very few people of wealth. The at
tention Of all has been directed along the
lines, first of making a living and after
that to the more ambitious desire to yecure
a competency Where this ambition has
been attained, as it has been so generally,
there comes with it desire to display the
changed condition. For the reason that
the previous history and work of such an
one has been along lines which did not
lead to the higher considerations of mat.

ters Of taste and high art, It is natural that
these displays of wealth should be those OF
Ignorance in the lines which they take.
Thus 1t is that in so many Of the houses
which have been built we have vulgar dis
plays in very bad architecture and because
of the character of our people, who have n
commercial -ather than an artistic his
tory, and because Of the large number who
year after year are taking the step from
poverty to affluence we have the record of
their displays to Offset the efforts OF the
more serious minded people who have H.
view the elevation of the tastes of those
who build.
1t Is truism that any house may be
beautiful or attractive without large ex-
penditures Of money, but there are those
who regard beauty and large expenditures
as inseparable.
Herewith Is presented a plan of a one
story house, suitable in its arrangement
for either a northern or II southern eli
mate. 1t has q porch around two sides,
and with we'll built walls there is no rea-
son why 1t should not be warm house in
winter and cool one in summer. Ex-
tremes of heat and cold are to be met in
most Of the states. In Michigan, Mime
sofa, Wisconsin we have both extremely
cold and extremely warm weather. 1t is
the extremes that we must provide
against. We have a temperature quito as
high in summer in these sections as is TO
be met with, excepting in rare instances,
in Alabama, Georgia or other southern
states, and we have in the northern states
the continuously hot nights which are not
usual in the south.
In the case of frame house to suit
either section the walls should be sheathed,
heavily papered and then weatherboarded
or shingled. A shingled wall is warmer in
the winter and cooler in the summer than
Notwithstanding. The Notwithstanding
has not more than an inch lap, while a l6-
inch shingle IS not usually left more than
5 or 81 inches to the weather. Oftentimes
in the north the sheathing is back plas.
tered-that is, the outside woodwork at
tached to the studding Is plastered. This
makes a warmer house in winter and one
cooler in summer than where the less sat
tsfactory means of construction are EN-
pdoyed. The back plsstering is always in
addition 30 the usual inside plastering.
This house has five rooms--a living
room, two bedrooms, n dining room and
kitchen. The kitchen and dining room
are connected by a china pantry. This sep
arates the kitchen sufficiently from the
front part OF the house. There Is pantry
for kitchen use opposite the china pantry.
In case the cellar is required the passage
thereto could be built out in the rear Of
the angle formed by the pantry and kitchen
walls. On the long wall naxt TO the bed
room and dining room are arranged the
tables and sink for kitchen use. Nothing
more satisfactory for economizing labor in
the household can be devised than this ar
rangement There is the sink, with hot and
cold water, with tables on each side of it.

A CALAMITY.

The defeat Of Senator GEORGE, OF Missis-
sippi, in his own county. if that foretells
his defeat of reelection to the United
States Senate, is calamity. The follow
ing tells the story:
JACKSON, Miss, August 5.-A special from Car
roll county SAYS, 1.-THE primary election in this
county resulted IN q Waterloo for Senator George
Barksdale having carried the county by large
majority. Senator George and his army Of
speakers have canvassed every part OF the coun.
~, and did all In their power to stem the tide,
but all to no purpose. Tho Democrats Of Carroll
county could not and would not support man,
though citizen Of the county, who had voted for
dependent pension bills, the direct-refund-tax
bill, Blair educational bill, and had secuted
the favorite economic measure Of the Farmers
Alliance.
If the agitat' rs intend t. turn
out such Democrats as Senator GEORGE
they are enemies to the country.
THE favorite economic measure of
the Farmers Alliance" is the sub
Treasury scheme-a scheme to which
neither Senator GEORGE nor any other man
who knows what he is doing will approve
or support or even countenance. To see q
lunatic in Senator GEoRar's seat would be

BURKEyILLE. Va, August 6.-On yesterday
q sharp little robbery was committed at
Crewe upon Mrs. j. s. Deem, boarding.

chain attached, 81 in currency, one gold
scarf-pin. one gold ring with brilliant set /;
also. lot of clothing belonging to Dir.
Roger Dyson, son of II. II. Dyson, ex-
Second Auditor of Virginia.
These articles were stolen in the day
time by q party who had been boarding
with Mrs Deem. He gave his name as A.
W. Mayo, and claimed that his father was
a banker of Richmond. tie also, as nave
since learned, went by the name of +; \.
Darrelle. of Cincinnati, Ohio, and by other
names. He is about five feet eight or ten
inches high, with brown eyes, light hair,
no beard or moustache. and Is about
twenty-one or twenty-five years old. He
had one front tooth about half gold. His
ewes are rather sunken, and face dished,
and eyebrows dark and heavy.
HOW DRESSED.
When last seen he was dressed in light
brown striped suit with pants soiled on
the seat and sported hunting-case silver
watch. He made his appearance at Crewe

The Amount of Circulation.

Figures tell some strange stories. Ii we
believe these stories we must liberalize our
opinions in regard TO some financial ques-
tions which have agitated tho intelligent
people Of the community from time
whereof the memory of man runneth not
to the contrary" We must be liberal. too
in constituting the castiron financial laws
which politico-economic writers have been
wont to teach as. and which defy all OF oul
efforts TO set them aside. Here are few
figures which are worthy Of attention
There are in round numbers fifteen hun
dred millions Of dollars of paper and
coin now in circulation in this country
The proportion of the total receipts OF al
the banks in the United States for given
time--say ono year or ton years-whict
consist of checks, drafts. &C.. is about 81
per cent. Thus. as checks, drafts. DC.
constitute 95 per cent. of the effective cir
culation, it would seem that TO the $780,
OO0, 900 of circulation which we have just
mentioned must be added something like
twenty times that sum In the form OF
checks. drafts, &c. This would make our
paper circulation mount up to sum that
might well claim the attention of clamor-
ers for q larger per capita circulation. But
have we $500, 600. 900. 600 of circulation in
Guiding checks, drafts, &C.? We stand
silent in the presence of such figures.

from the market. There was some other
cause. New York and Chicago CON-
bined could notohavc effected that result.
However. tho fact remains that tho milers
