Of the car wa swiftly and constantly
changing his potential, and, like n pilot

preached | suddenly perceived browning
the very apex of the lofty peak near the
termination Of the cane the ruins Of
what appeared TO be an ancient watch
tower. 1t was evidently composed Of
cyclopean blocks larger than afy that l
had ever seen ven among the RUNS Of
Greece. Egypt and Asia Minor.
Here, then, was visible proof that
the moon had been inhabited, although
probably il vas not inhabited now. |

which took possession Of me at this dis
covery. 1t settled S o much that learned
men had been disputing about for cen
turtles.
"What will they say" l exclaimed,
when / show them a photograph of
that:"
Below the peak, stretching far TO
right and left. lag a barren beach which
had evidently once been washed by sea
waves, because it was marked by long
curved ridges such as the advancing and
retiring tide leaves upon tho shore Of
the ocean.
This beach sloped rapidly outward
and downward toward profound abyss,
which had once evidently been the bed
of a sea, but which now appeared TO us
simply as the empty, yawning shell OF
m ocean that had long vanished.
1t was with no small difficulty, and
only after the expenditure of consider
able time, that all the floating ships of
the squadron were gradually brought to
rest Oh this lone mountain top OF the
moon. In accordance with my request,
Mr. Edison had the flagship moored in
the interior Of the great ruined watch
tower that l have described, The other
ships rested upon the slope Of the noun
taih around us.
Although time pressed, for we knew
that tho safety Of the earth depended
upon our promptness in attacking Mars,
yet it was determined TO remain here a.
least tw6or three days in order that the

wrecked car might be repaired. 1t was
found also that the passage of the high-
ly electrified meteor had d%isarranged the
electrical machinery in some of tho
other cars, so that there were many re.
pairs to be made besides those needed to
restore the wreck.
Moreover, we must bury our unfortu-
nate companions who had been killed
by the meteor. This, in fact, wa tho
first work that we performed Strange

from the earth and on soil which had

ity. In the ancient beach at the foot of
tho peak we made a deep opening, and
there covered forever the faces of our
friends, leaving them to sleep among
the ruins of empires and among the
graves of races which had vanished
probably ages before Adam and Eve APP
peared in paradise.
While the repairs were being made
several scientific expeditions were sent
Out III NuIlDuS ulTpCt1Ons across rlD
moon. One went westward to investi-
gate the great ring plain Of Plato and
the lunar Alps. Another crossed the an
cient sea Of Showers toward the lunar
Apcnninos.
One started to explore the immense
crater Of Copernicus. which, yawning
90 miles across, presents y wonderful
appearance even from the distance #
the earth. The ship in which /. myself,
had the good fortune to embark was
bound for the mysterious lunar noun
tain Aristarchus.
Before these expeditions started a
careful exploration had been made in
the neighborhood Of Cape HeraclidcS
But, except that the broken walls Of the
watch tower On the peak, composed #
blocks of enormous size, had evidently
been the work Of creatures endowed
with human intelligence, no remains
were found indicating the former pres
ence of inhabitants upon this part of the
moon.

Upon the suggestion Of the president
of the United States an executive COM
mittee, representing all the principal
nations, was appointed, and without
delay a meeting Of this committee wa
assembled At the White House. Mr..
Edison was summoned before il and was
asked IN sketch briefly the plan upon

what WIS done at this meeting. Let il
suffice To- say that when il broke mp in
the small hours of the morning il had
been unanimously resolved that as many
thousands OF men as Mr.. Edison might
require should be immediately placed
at his disposal; that as far as possible
al tho great manufacturing establish
ments Of the country should be instant
ly transformed into factories where
electrical ships and disintegrators could
10 built, and upon the suggestion Of
Professor S%ylvanus p. Thompson, the
celebrated English electrical expert,
seconded by Lord Kelvin, it was re-
solved that all the leading men Of
science in the world should place their
services at the disposal OF Mr., Edison
in any capacity in which, in his judg-
men,, they might be useful to him.
The members of this committee were
disposed to congratulate L another ON
the good work which they had SO
promptly accomplished, when at the
mcmont NJ their adjournmens q tele-
srapnio dispatch was handed tn the
president from Professor George L.

Spectroscopic observations of this NOV;

Hardly had the excitement caused by
the reading of this dispatch subsidized
when others of a similar import came
from the Lick observatory in California,
from the branch of the Harvard observ-
atory at Arequira, in Peru, and from
the royal observatory at Potsdam.
When the telegram from this last
named place was read, the Emperor
William turned to his chancellor and
said:

Henry Blackman, D. NJ. Dunne's

enne collector, has bad an experience in
politics that win serve as an object lesson
and warning to young men who con-
template engaging in politics rs a profess
sion. AT the time the craze for office
took possession Of Mr.. Blackman he was
a successful and weii-to-do merchant of
Heppner. He began his official career
as a member of the city council Of Hepp-
ner. Much credit lie certainly due Mr..
Blackman for his shrewdness and ability
as a politician, and his efforts in that
line have certainly been successful. lie
has captured every Office he started after
but has the game been worth the pow
der? We think not. 1t cost him his
business and fortune of probably S20,-

but wouldn't sell for ten per cent of what
it cost. MIR. Blackman's advice to young
men is to stick to business and let pol
