The astronomer royal for Scotland
states that when The moon is half full
its brilliancy is not nearly one.haf a.
great as when it is quite full. He al
tributes the brightness of the full moon
and the lack of brightness of the half
moon to the variations in the reflected
sunshine, which are due to the rugged
ness of the moons surface. The high
peaks and immense chasms on the
moons surface are constantly at cross
purposes in their mode of rejecting
light. The bright streaks which the
telescope proves TO emanate from the
craters and chasms are largely invisible
under cross light, but are brilliantly
illuminated when the sun shines full
upon them.

1t is a peculiar fact that very few men,
even accomplished shots, know how a re-

This is all well enough for shooting gall

In the field
When training troops to use the revolv-
