The Moon superstit.on..

Editor Sitter Here is subject
worthy place in your Free Thought
Column of your valuable paper, the
moon theories. They are many and
without single fact or truth to rest
upon. 1t is really matter of sur
prise that so many persons watch the
phases of the moon to know when to
SOW or to plant, to forecast the
weather or kill the pig. ETC., etc. Now
it is, or ought 10 be, a we'll known
fact that men of science are wholly
skeptical as to the influence of the
moon upon mundane affairs. As to
the weather being affected by the
changes of the moon its absurdity be-
comes apparent at once when intelli.
gent thought developes the absolute
fact that there is no set changes Of
the moon. In other words this Sat
elite changes just as much one minute
AS the next or the proceeding one.
| The change is continuous from new
to full and from full to new. The
time from new moon to new moon is
20 - days. In this time this body
passes from conjunction with the
sun to opposition (full moon) and
from this to conjunction (new moon)
again. Now in this time there is alb
solutely no more change one minute
than another, nor one day than
another. Simply as matter Of con-
venience this period has been divided
into quarters, just as our year is Oh.
vided into twelfths. Had this division
been made into fifths we would have
had one more "change" or had il
been made into thirds there wouIt
have been one less. Now this il
simply a matter of known fact; ther,
is no theory about it, and it is Won
derful in this day and age that 81
many people are constantly looking
| to change of the moon to bring ;
change of the weather. II.
