What We Know About the
Moon.
From Harper's Youcg People.

from NdrperS OO-g feOp!e.
The discovery or the mountains on
tie moon by Calico were AMONG the
srss results of the invention Of tele-
scopes. A very ordinary modern glass
reveals them; and a telescope Of four or
Eve inches aperture shows them 10
much detail; an endless delight for the
observer. Over thirty thousand of
them have been charted on maps Of the
moon! Nearly all Of these mountains
have a riDglike form, With the central
area depressed, often to a lower level
than that Of the surrounding country.
as is known by the relative length Of
the internal aud external shadows.
The diameter of the rings varies great
~. some Of the larger being fifty, Que
hundred, or even one hundred and fifty
miles. while the smaller look like little
dots in large tie telescopes. Their height
above the surrounding plains may be az
much as three or four miles; this being
less than the highest Of terrestrial
mountains. but greater in proportion to
the size of TIE moon than any Of our
mountains are TO the earth. On &C
count Of the resemblance of these ring
mountains to certain terrestrial volca-
noes. !: has long been concluded that
they were produced by volcanic activity
although 90 certain sigh Of v%ocauic ac;iv
~ has been detected by direc, observ-
alton. This conclusion is very geuer-
ally accepted; yet there are reasons for
questioning it or at !caIt for holding an
open mind With regard to the origin of
;1e rings aud craters Of the moon.
In the first place. nearly all the vol
canoes of the earth have a large cone,
and a relatively small crater. while the
reverse is true of the noon. 1t is true
that in certain terrestrial volcanic dis.
,rlc,s the upper portion Of the Genes
has been 10 some way destroyed
blown of or fallen i~n-lea7iug a broad
and deep depression. called a caldera,
enclosed by riuglike walls. For exam
pie, 10 Italy several such calderas con-
tain lakes of roughly circular outline.
Similar basins occur on the Azores. in
Sumatra, and elsewhere, but by far
the greater mum Der of terrestrial volca-
noes are {. the large-cose and small
crater variety. Hence if the ring
mountains on the moon are of volcanic
origin. they represent a phase of volcan-
&c activity that is exceptional, aud not
prevalent on the earth.
There is one very curious thing
about the movements; Of the moon. AZ

Ger came back early to-day and in
formed Admiral Ito that Admiral

date: "Gen Nodzu reports that to-
day the Chinese forces under Gene
raj Hsu, Chang and Yihi, were con-
centrated at Hal Cheng from the

out encountering opposition. Natives
say that on the 9th the Chinese forces

two parts. The larger one fed to-
ward Flu Shan Shan and the smaller
one to Yen Tan. On February IA in
the afternoon, Marshal Oyama re-
ported on the state of affairs at Wei

had been rendered to the Japanese
flagship Matsusima to surrender the
warships and the remaining forts and
their armament at Wei-llai- Wei,
provided that the foreigners of the
military and naval force be released
under a guarantee obtained from an
admiral of a neutral power.
The japanese accepted all the con-
di.ions excepting the n concerning
the guarantee and the agreement was
concluded.
Marshall Oyama confirms the form:
10 report of the suicides of Admiral
Ting, Commodore Liu and Gen
Chang. All three left letters address
ed to the flagship. The garrison of
Liu Kung Tao was conducted beyond
the japanese line and was set free.
The Chinese seamen will be treated
in the same way. The foreigners
who were captured will be taken to
some more distant point and will he
released there.

To Out-of-Town Patients:

Since the establishment of the South- ern Medical Dispensary in this city several years ago, and which, by the way, was the first medical institute in Birminghan-ast the tiles of the city papers will show-our success has been so pronounced es to encourage other less competent doctors and self styled told reliable specialists" to inn itate our mode of advertising, and by their spacious pretensions end heroic self-praise make capital for themselves by their questionable methods. We therefore advise all those who may not be personally acquainted with Dr. Do- zier, before submitting their cases to any specialist, to consult their own in- terests and safety by first making an inve stigation of the home character of the man that they would have treat them.
 If you are member of any church, or if you are Mason, Odd Fellow, K. of H., K. of F., or belong to any order or organization, then write to some leader, officer or member of such church or order in Birmingham and inquire concerning our professional, social and financial standing. After doing this, write to us plain state- ment of yonr case and inclose a stamp for reply. We will give you then our opinion, terms for treatment, etc.
 Our system of mail treatment is the best ever devised, and enables us to cure thousands every year who could not otherwise have been reached by US. It will cost you nothing more than a stamp to get our opinion of your case, which may prove valuable indeed to you.
 We will send in plain sealed envel- ope our "Book for Men" and Question List for Pc stamp; Question List for Ladies for 2c stamp.
 All correspondence will be consid- cred confidential and be kept sacredly inviolate.
 AS pointer, please read this from & recent issue of the Age Herald:

FRANBYs LATEST PROJECT.
Hotel Property and New Private Residenc,
Occupies His Time.

It is now certainty that Shenandoah is to
have another hotel. Mr.. J. J. Franey is the
power behind the movement and workmen
are now making room for the foundation
walls of the structure which, with other
buildings already erected, will form the hotel
1t will be located at the southeast corner of
Coal and Jardin streets, extending 45 feet on
the former street and 65 feet on the latter. 1t
will embrace the building now occupied by
Mr. Franey as a family residence. There is
a vacant lot next to the residence on Coal
street 20 feet wide and so feet deep. On the
Jardin street side there are one-story build
ngs ON lot 10 feet wide and connecting at
the rear with the lot running back from Coal
street.
These buildings will be razed and upon
both strips of land will be erected three
story brick structure L shape in itself, but to
be connected with the property occupying the
corner lot and making first-class hotel block
45x65 feet in size. Should it become neces-
sary, the third stories of the row of frame
dwellings adjoining and extending east on
Coal street to Pear alley can be converted
into sleeping apartments connected with the
hotel. The brick building now used as a resi-
dence by Mr.. Franeys family will be the
main part of the hotel.
Since the reports of this change has gone
abroad there has been much speculation as to
where Mr.. Franey proposed locating his
residence. This he has also decided upon.
The apartments ON the first, second and third
stories in the Main street end of his property
at the southwest corner of Main and Oak
streets are to be completely remodelled and
appropriated as residence The building
will be heated by steam. All the old stair
cases will be torn out to make room for Queen
Ann style of architecture. The whole will
make an elaborate residence. Mr.. Franey
says the plan was suggested by Mrs. Franey
nine years ago and he has often regretted not
taking it in hand sooner. Workmen have
already commenced alterations on the build

Property owners Want the Thorough

The building and general improvement
boom continues in all parts Of town and
properties which have heretofore been de-
preciating in value by reason of the age of
buildings and want of repair are steadily
taking on a shape that will put them on the
market again at a goodly price
The part Of town in which the most radical
changes have taken place is that bounded by
Main, Centre, White and Lloyd streets
Thousands of dollars have been spent in
alterations rebuilding and extensions and
the plans in view provide for an expenditure
of thousands additional, so it is quite certain
that the properties are destined to be the
most valuable in the town
There is a thoroughfare extending north
and south between Main and White streets
which has heretofore been known as Market
alley. The abutting property owners have
decided to raise it to the full dignity and
distinction Of a street and appeal to Council
to have the name changed. As soon as the
building operations are completed the alley
will be paved from Centre to Lloyd streets.
1t will be the only paved alley in the town
with the exception of Pear alley, and the
paving there is limited
A few years ago Market alley in the dis
trict referred to, was lined on both sides with
stables, cast off vehicles and receptacles for
rubbish. Since then neat dwellings have
been erected by J. X. P. Scheiny, Mrs
Graeber Thomas Bells and the O'Hara
estate, besides a neat brick building erected
by c. E. Titman and the one now being
erected by Lewis Klein. Only one stable is
left on the square and all the old vehicles,
bins and other unsightly objects have disap-
peared. The purchase made by the School
Board has also been very beneficial, as in
place Of nest of stables there is large
open space sweeping to White street which
is "A great benefit to the dwellings in the
vicinity. A strong point in connection with
it is that there is no danger of the space being
absorbed for any other purpose than the
erection of a school building.
The demand for dwellings will in time
cause owners of properties on almost all the
alleys in the town to do as the people on
Market alley are doing.
