came up just then extended his hand in
greeting. but his friend hastily drew
back. saying: '.No, dear boy, ] won't
shake hand with anybody else now until

Moons Phase Explained

The Flower Astronomical Observatory has been
quite favorite resort during some of the recent
moonlight nights. II can be reached by trolley

set his camera table under a brilliant cleo
tric light while he stepped over and peeped
through the telescope lenses. 1t was late when
he got home, so he made attempt to develop
the pictures he had taken in the woods during

took blue print Of his wonderful picture TO the
astronomers for an explanation. They studied it
and were mystifed. Just then of the as
