ABOUT OUR SUN AND NOON

\ NEW theory in relation 10 the moon
has lately been advanced. to the effect
that the lights and shadows of the moon
are incompatible with the theory of it,
spherical shape.
y GERMAN capitalist has offered re-
ward of 81. 900 to any astronomer who
can satisfactorily prove To him that the
sun. the moon, or any one of the stars
il inhabited, that it contains any
solid matter whatever.
THE brightness of the moon il not so
very much greater than the brightness
of the same area of sky. The total
light of the full moon can be compared
with the total light of the sun, though
it is very difficult problem, and the re-
suit will be that the sun i as bright as
est, 900 fun moons
BY a comparison of records extending
over number Of years il has been con-
cluded that the moon has an influence in
lowering the height of the barometer
in the months from September 10 Jan
uary at the time of full moon, and in
raising il during the first quarter. No
effect has been perceived in the other
months.
SUN spots are cavities in the surface
of the sun filed with gases They are
generally distributed in groups, princi-
pally in two zones which cover the sur
face Of the sun lying between ten de-
grees and thirty-fve degrees north and
south of its equator. Their size varies
from those just visible with the most
powerful telescope to those 100, 900 miles

the exact time for which payment has
been made. and 10 control the circuit
accordingly. This communication with
the operator at the exchange is effected
by the closure If local circuit. when
the coin il introduced, which rings an
alarm bell. The wave sounds created
by the bell act upon the transmitter,
and are thus passed through the line To
the central office. To guard against
tampering and 10 insure the fact that
the coin has passed sufficiently far to
be beyond the possibility of recovery by
dishonest persons. a spring trough is
supported at the bottom of the instru-
ment 81 that the bell can only he rung
