No Life on tho Moon.

While it is not possible to know any
thing positive concerning the question
whether the moon is or is not inhabited,
astronomers have long since agreed
that the probabilities are favorable to
the supposition that there is either
animal or vegetable life existing on the
surface of fair Luna. The very strongest
presumption against the existence Of
