 THE MOONS CLIMATE.
Why Our Satellite Is Subject to Great Ex- tyemes of Heat and Cold.

bemes of Heat and Cold.
 In illustration of the important eli matlc effects of an atmosphere, need l do little moro than cite the case of the moon. Our satellite Is practically at the same distance from the sun as the earth. ! and In Its case also internal heat has no present effect on tho temperature of it's superficial portions. 1t would therefore seem that, so far as sun heat is concern ed, the moon must be in much the same condition as the earth. But if we thence dedueed the inference that the tempera- ture conditions prevailing on our satel- lite bear any resemblance to the tenn perature conditions prevailing on tho earth we should make great mistake. Observations of the moons heat show that it's surface is exposed to tremen- dous range of temperature, extending to hundreds of degrees. It has been dem- l onstrated that the temperature of the moon under the full glare of the sun rises to point in excess of that of boil. ing water, while it is equally certain that when the sunbeams are withdrawn the temperature of the moon sinks to point far below that with which any arctic ex- plorer has made us acquainted. Here. then, is globe fed just as we are, with sunbeams, and yet undergoing tremen- dous vicissitudes of climate. surpassing any changes endured by tho earth.
 The climatic difference between these two neighboring globes is certainly con- neoted with the fact that the moon has very little atmosphere, even if 1t be not completely destitute thereof Our at mosphere acts as a climatic regulator. It reduces the degree in which tho intense feryor of the sun affects the earth. and it mitigates the rigor of the cold to which the earth would be exposed when the sunbeams are withdrawn. Such an ameliorating agent is absent from the moon, and hence arise those violent extremes of its climatic condition.
 We thus see what potent factors the existence and the extent of an atmos- phere become i'll determining tho na- ture of the climate that a planet is to have. w do not know enough regard ing tho atmospheres of Mars, Venus and Mercury to be able to draw any cer- tain conclusions with regard to their climates. But this we may at least af- firm, that it seems quite possible for the different influences we have named to go long way toward neutralizing the contrasts that the climates of these globes would otherwise present in con- sequence of the different supplies of sun beams that they receive at their actual solar distances So far as mere climate is concerned, it seems quite possible that appropriate atmospheres and land distributions might be adjusted on the earth and Mars, Mercury and Venus in such manner that certain organic types might be common to all tho four globes.

 A French professor told the recent scientific congress ill Rome that "all mountains will vanish off the face of the earth in course of time. We do not doubt it, for it is divinely foretold that the earth itself will disappear at the end of time. However, the Frenohman's prophecy is already in course of realiza tion. The Ardennes, the Pyrenees and the mountains of Provence are going to peices by degrees in our own age. The mighty Himalayas, as if weary of rear ing their forms sublime through so many generations, nodded their heads in one place two years ago and hurled into the valleys below mass of debris which was estimated at 800, 900, 900 tons.
