Water on the Moon.

Astronomer Pickering of the Howard
observatory at Arequipa, Peru, has late
ly been making some interesting OBJ
servatiCns relative to the presence Of
water on the moon. 4 writer, quoting
from ii bulletin of the French Astronora
lcal society, says that over 30 narrow
ravlnos on the moon's surface have been
catalogued, and these are ali regarded
as beds of rivers from their resemblance
to terrestrial water courses. There is no
reason to suppose that these formations
contain water ut the present time, but
the observer argues that the presence of
q certain degree of humidity on the sur
face of the great satellite seems proba-
bic. The observer aflirms that no other
satisfactory explanation than the exist
ence Of water or partially thawed fro
zen region can account for the dark
patches in the various craters or Gre
vases. That vegetation exists is not vet
demonstrated, but the observers regard
such a discovery rs by no means unlike-
ly.-Revue Scientifique.

all house legislation, the responsible
ity for tariff legislation.
1t is reported that Speaker Reed is
delighted with the opportunity of
putting Senator Allison on record
and compelling him as the presiden-
tial candidate on the senate side to
assist in the Mckinley undoing.
During his conspicuous congress
sional career Mr.. Reed was ALWAYS
willing, until presidential aspirations
made coward of him. to face all
issues with bold front. His career
has been in striking contrast with
that of Allison, who never faced any.
thing when there was an opportunity
to run and who always compromised
when there wasn't.
Allison has never wounded with
his tongue and for q man who has
served three terms his record has
been remarkable. But at the very
time above all others when it was
most essential for him not to give
offense. the populists have forced him
to the front. We shall be very much
surprised, however, if any com bina.
ton can be formed which can com.
pei Mr.. Allison TO do more than talk
for a couple of days about the neces.

products. His cowardice NAV defea,

THE republican national com

THE republican national commit
tee. IL is said. is seriously consider
ing proposition to call n special
meeting OF the committee and revoke
the selection of St. Louis as the con-
vention city. Such a thing would be
without precedent, but many men,
bers OF the committee are said to
think that the committee would be
justified in taking some such action.
in view of what they term the outra-
geous violation of the pledges made
by the representatives of ST. Louis
with reference to the raising of hotel
rates. The st. Louis crowd, SAYS the
New York Mercury, promised not to
raise their hotel rates. and yet they
are demanding sl6 day for the
privilege Of occupying cot, and
$50 day for an ordinary hall
bedroom. Col. Manley is said to
be in communication with other
members of the national COM
mittee. and unless the St. Louis gen.
tlemen change their tactics. they
will be in serious danger of having
the national convention taken away
from them.
