YOU NEVER SAW A FULL MOON.

OF the Present Day.

know what your answer will be with
out waiting for it. 1t is this: ''Yes,
once every month since l have been
old enough to pay attention to such
phenomena" Yet l take the position
that you are badly mistaken, and that
in all probability you have never in
your life beheld the full face of our
"silvery sister world" BY way of So
luton let us see what it takes to con-
stitute a "full moon" in the exact
sense of the term: A full moon occurs
only when our obsequious attendant is
one hundred and eighty 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 five degrees eight min
utes forty-seven seconds and is there
fore never on the ecliptic except when
at its modes" or crossings.
This being the case, what we call the
circular disk of the moon full moon)
lacks considerable of being an exact
circle, being what astronomers term
lin state of gibbosity," and is never
perfect disk except when "a full
moon" happens 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 conclud-
ing an article of much merit on the
same subject, says: "We therefore con-
clude that real full moon, one having
a perfect circle, has rarely, if ever,
been SEEN"

BOTHERED BY KANGARooS.
Australian Squatters Gradually Extermi-
mating the Hungry, LOng-Leaping Pest.
The kangaroo plague has always
been q great nuisance to the Australian
squatters, for on an average these
animals consume as much grass as q
sheep, It is stated by Science Gossip
that on sheep run of sixty thousand
20 eighty thousand acres ten thousand
kangaroos were killed annually for six
consecutive years and yet their num-
Der remained very formidable in the
locality In the colony of South Aus
tralia hundreds of thousands of kanga-
roos are slaughtered annually for their
skins and the bonus offered by the au-
thorities. The number of these marsu-
pals in New South Wales in 1889 was es-
timated to be over four million, and yet
about five hundred thousand kangaroos
and six hundred and fifty thousand
wallables were destroyed in the col
ony in that year. A bonus of sixteen
cents for each kangaroo killed is Of
fered in Australia, hence the colonists
are gradually exterminating these ma
tive animals. Over half million skins
are annually shipped to England and
large number to North America
to be converted into leather. The
macropidD include several kinds Of
kangaroos and wallables. The progress
of settlement in Australia has driven
these animals from the more densely
populated parts of the Australian con-
tinent, but in the country and unset
tied districts they are still numerous
enough to cause very considerable
damage to the natural grasses. So
serious has been the injury thus
wrought that the colonial governments
and runholders pay a small sum per
head for the destruction of the kan
croroos

In the United States court of private

Peralta claim covers an area of 12,S00,-

New York, June 3.-Frederick Il. Cou-

the interview in which William c.
Whitney expressed his views of the sill
yer question. He said:
IF the nations of the world should
agree upon a uniform standard there
is no doubt I'm my mind that it would
be the greatest boon the world of finance
has ever received 1t strikes me that
a ratio of 15ia to /, 16 to | or 20 to

1T may come to this, however, that

| am not a political economist, but /
have watched the course of events with
much interest. and have read and talked

! with the>fact that unless the European
nations soon reach an agreement ON

| BILE standard they will have to face the
certainty that the United States will
do business on silver basis.
| THE populistic spirit which is abroad
| throughout the west and south is such
that it can not be ignored and if the
| fact becomes evident that the nations
of Europe intend to refuse any relief,
the storm will break. The result would
undoubtedly be financial revolution
and loss to the United States, but it
beginning to realize the fact that they
can not get along without us, while we
can get along without them.
IF the worst comes to the worst, we
could build a Chinese wall of silver
around our country, and the world
would be knocking al our doors. ] tell
you, they are afraid to tempt Provi-
dence too long. They are just waking
up to this fact, and the prudence of the
