THE COLORS OF THE EARTH.
How They Affect the Light That Our
Planet Gives to the Moon.

The wonderful difference between the
same landscape in winter and in summer
is a phenomenon familiar to all jewellers
III the temperate zones. The two great
elements of change are the presence of
snow in winter and Of leaves and grass
in summer. If we could look at our
globe from the moon. the variation in
lis aspect due TO seasonal changes would
perhaps be even more striking than it
appears to those upon its surface.
In fact. We sometimes lose sight of the
very important part which vegetation
plays in giving color to what might be
called the countenance of the planet.
1t is not the highest forms of plants
that always produce the greatest effect
scenes upon the earth w their charac-
t~eristic features to moses and lichens.
The famous crimson cliffs" of Green
land, which extend for miles northward
from Cape York. derive the!- splendid
color from the growth Of red lichcn
which covers their faces.
The cliffs rise between 100 and 5000
feet straight from the waters edge. and
being composed of gray granite their
aspect would be entirely different from
what It is but for the presence Of the
lichen.
Coming to less magnificent. but not
less beautiful scenes, the rocky pass
called the Golden Gate in the Yellow
stone National park owes its rich color
and its name to the yellow lichen cover
ing its lofty walls. and the indescr!bable
hues Of the great hot spring terraces
arise mainly from the presence of minute
plants Furnishing in the water that over.
flows them.
Considered Us q whole, the vegetation
of a planet may give it a characteristic
aspect as viewed from space. Many have
thought that the red color of Mars may
be due to the existence of red instead Of
green vegetation there.
That us broad eXpanses Of forest and
prairie land cause the earth to reflect i
considerable quantity CT green light 10
its neighbors is indicated by the fact
that at the time OF the new moon a
grcenish tint has been detected over
spreading that part Of the lunar surface
which is then illuminated only by light
from the earth.-Iouth's Companion.

Coe was very indignant about the charges

that no charges or allegations of wrong

Mr.. Block asked the Registrar if he had
