"If you could stand on the moon" "
says an astronomer, "the earth would
appear to you to be sixty-four times
larger than the sun appears to the
residents of this mundane sphere +;
this because the earth has eight times
the diameter of the moon, therefore,
she must necessary show the moonites
sixty-four times as much surface as
the moon shows us. The sun, on the
other hard, would appear no larger to
you from your observatory on the
moon than it does from our globe.
The earth's atmosphere being blue it
has been decided that the earth must
appear as blue ball to all outside on
lockers. What a glorious sight il
must be to our lunarian neighbors to
look upon bright blue, swift-revolving
ball slxty.four times larger than the
sun %

One man makes all the ink with
which the United States Government
prints its paper money. His father
invented the ink, but he never told
anybody how he did it until just be.
fore he died, when he let his son into
the secret. Had an untimely acci-
dent gathered the inventor to his
fathers before he told his son about
the ink, the Government printer would
have been in bad way, for this is the
only kind of ink that will print on the
peculiar surface of the fiber of which
Government note paper is made. The
maker employs only six men in the
manufacture Of his ink, and none of
them is in the secret, nor has any
one yet seen the interesting act of
mixing the ingredients of which the
ink is composed. The owner of the
secret locks himself up in his own
|room two weeks in each year, and 1t
rs there and then he mixes stuff enough

satisfied that he will be clothed in cor

a full beard. AS the two events are
recorded as having occurred within

to Clark's Island. below Catawissa.
A few miles below Sunbury there is a
large ice gorge while below that the
river is yet frozen solid. Near

of the sh"d coming north. If much
of the dam is destroyed we can ex.
