Professor John X. Rees, of Columbia College. IN

a curtain on the scene, and 1t was only through
their riffs that got snapshot with our tele-
scopes and camera"
why was It," asked the reporter. that the
moon gave cut a light even when she was in the
deepest shadow OF the umbra?"
1.-The cause OF that is that the suns rays strike
our belt OF atmosphere. which, acting like a lens.
defects the bright rays in every direction, and a
food OF them falling the moon, tho latter re-
fleets them back to US. The rudy appearance Of
the moon Is pale counterpart OF the sun Just
