In the opinion Of Professor Asaph
Hall, as recently expressed, the problem
Of the physical constitution Of the moon
Is one that yet remains to be solved. OF
the "oraters, scattered all over her sur
face, the volcanic theory Of formation
fails, he thinks, TO be satisfactory. An
other notion to which he refers is that,
ages ago, the moon was surrounded by
awarms Of "moonlets, which eventual
ly were precipitated upon the moons
surface, forming the craters now seen.
Thus, the Mare Imbrium was created
by the impact Of a huge moonlet, 90
miles in diameter. which. in striking,
was raised to such a high temperature
as to melt its substance. An immense
hole or crater being formed where 1t
struck, the molten material Of the moon
let spread in every direction for a vast
distance, partly filling up other oraters
fragments few to distances Of a thou
sand miles, scoring out deep burrows,
one of the latter, as now seen, being 1877
miles long, 10 to 20 miles broad, and
with a depth Of 200 feet.

Can it be affirmed that It is absolutely
necessary to have several courses for

If we compare the quantity of food
which satisfies a peasant and that which

we shall be inclined to think that they

Prinos I, a King In Exile.


The Figaro gives, apropos Of the
Channel islands, some interesting de-
tails Of 'un roi en- exil, " but Of a king
who never reigned and an exile who
never wandered. The monarch in ques-
tiou is Prinet ] and the last Of that
dynasty. he reigned over the Ecrehous
islands, a small group lying to the
northeast Of Jersey. He had, however,
only one subject, his wife, and perhaps
that Is more than all married men can
boast Of. The royal residence was in
Blanque lie, and here the king earned a
narrow living, his revenue coming from
fish, smuggled brandy aud pigeon breed
ing. The pigeons he generally ate. A
high tide from time to time invaded his
kitchen, and also the thrOneroom, which
was next to the kitchen
He held his wife, Queen Philippe,
under despotio control and made her
work hard in household avocations. One
Of her principal tasks must have been
repairing the royal wardrobe, as it is
recorded that her gracious majesty the
queen of England presented him with a
vest some 90 years ago, and that he
wears it still. Queen Philippe then pre-
sented her sister monarch with a piece
of embroidery. Prinet had fallen upon
evil days and is now an exile in the
hospital at ST. Heliers. Pail Mall Ga

of boron with carbon in the electric fur

Gated by the author.
Boride Of carbon belongs TO the same
class of compounds as silicide Of carbon

burns slowly and with more difficulty
than the diamond, yielding carbonic
acid and a black residue coated with
melted boraoio acid. The most curious
property Of this new compound is it's ex-
oessive hardness. While silioide Of CAR
bon scarcely polishes the diamond and
does not cut it, facets may be produced
ON the diamond by using the dust OF
boride Of carbon The latter is very
friable It can be pounded fine in a
mortar, then mixed with oil and used
instead Of diamond dust for cutting
diamonds.
The hardness Of this boride is appaF-
emily less than that Of the diamond,
since It grinds more slowly, but tho
facets are cut with great olearness, and
it is the first example Of a definite sub
stance capable of cutting the diamond.
Tho compound therefore is harder than

Lord Raleigh says that tho delusion
Of water appearing in mirages ON hot,
sandy plains is due TO the fact that the
undisturbed stratum OF air near the earth
is highly rarefled. A ray Of light falling
very obliquely upon this stratum and be-
ing totally reflected reaches the eye Of
an observer just as It would if reflected
from water. The phenomenon is. strict
ly speaking, one Of refraction rather than
reflection. Now, just as the glass lens
forms an image ON the screen, so the
crystalline lens Of the eye forms an inn
age on Tho retina OF sensitive back part
Of the eye. This retina image Is invert-
cd, as all rotina images are, and being
projected TO another strata Of rarefied air
above has the effect of making the de-
lusion perfect. Raleigh further says
that there has been much unnecessary
speculation ia connection with the the
ory Of inverted retina images, the mys-
terry being that we do not see all things
inverted. The truth Of the matter is--
now look for something you never saw
in a book--we do not see the retina inn
age at all wo only feel IT, II we could
