Geography of the Moon.

From the London Telegraph.
Sir Robert Ball is reported to have said in
his lecture on the moon that the geography of
our satellite was better known even than that
Of the earth. There was no single spot on the
moon the size Of an ordinary parish in England
that had no. been fully photographed and OBJ
served. or course this remark can only relate
to the side Of the moon which is always turned
toward us. Nearly one-half Of her surface has
never been seen by mortal eye. and never will
be unless the lunar globe should be tilted by
collision with a comet or some such cratic
body. Otherwise 1t is fact that photography
has done more for the earth's attendant than
for the earth itself. 1t is analogous to the
further fact that the only things which man can
predict with certainty are not those that happen
on the sphere he inhabits, but the movements
OF worlds immensely distant.

A Strengthening Drug.

From the Brandon Bucksaw.
Much has been heard Of late Of drugs, leaves
Of plants, &C., with the property Of comforting
upon mankind the power to withstand fatigue.
A pastil. which is said to take the place Of food
and drink, was lately tested on a company of
Roumanian soldiers who completed march Of
seveuty-five miles in twenty -seven hours, and
whose sole food during that time was in the
form Of these pastils.
First, each man had pastil every hour, and
later on three every hour; at the same time the
pastils dissolved in small quantity Of water
were supplied to the horses which accompanied
the troops. At the conclusion OF the march
both men and officers declared that they felt no
fatigue whatever, and spoke highly OF the sus-
tanning powers Of the new preparation. The
pastils are said to contain a large quantity OF
caffeine.
