Did you ever see a full moon? / know
what your answer will be without waiting for
it. 1t is this: ''les. once every month since
have been old enough to pay attention to such
phenomena" Yet take the position that you
are badly mistaken, and that in all probability
you have never in your life behed the full face
OF our ''silvery sister world" Ey way of solu-
ton let us see what il takes TO constitute a
''ful moon in the exact sense of the term:
full moon occurs only when our obsequious at
tendant is $50 degrees of Longitude from the
sun. Old Sol and the earth being on the ecliptic.
But the moons orbit is inclined TO the ecliptic
at an angle of degrees minutes AZ seconds,
and is. therefore. never on the ecliptic except
when at its modes" or crossings.
This being the case. what We call the circular
disk of the moon (ful moon lacks considerable
of being an exact circle. being what astronomers
term in a state of gibbosity." and is never a
perfect disk except when IA full moon hap
pens exactly at the time when Luna is crossing
the ecliptic. at which time she must necessarily
be centrally eclipted One of our best present
day astronomers, in concluding an article of
much merit on the same subject, SAYS: I'VE

made by an emancipated slave to the assembly
Of the centum, consisting of gardens and a
building to be employed in celebrating his
obsequies on each returning anniversary, and
his masters as well. He requested that SEES
should not be spared. Generally q donation
made thus was transferred, by provisions in
the will to another in case the benefited failed
to cover the funeral monument with roses at
the proper time. A terrible curse was supposed
to attend violation of these sacred gardens.
Those among the Romans not rich enough to
make such requests often directed to be en-
graved upon the stone above them q request
to passers-by to scatter roses upon their tombs.
Pliny relates of one of the illustrious Scipios
that while he was tribune he fulfilled his duties
to the satisfaction of the people, but when he
died had nothing left with which to pay his
funeral expenses. The people voluntarily con-
tributed to pay them and spent a vast sum for
flowers to cast under the funeral train and upon
his tomb.
Anthony when he had suffered the defeat at
Actium which drove him to suicide asked that
Cleopatra scatter perfume over his tomb and
cover it with roses. Paris at the tomb Of
Juliet says:
Sweet flowers with flowers thy bridal bed strew !,
Which with sweet water nightly will dew,
Or wanting that. with tears distilled by means;
The obsequies that for thee will keep.
nightly shall be to strew thy grave and weep"

Hundreds of women have been brought in this
