The Moons AtmOsDherc,

The recent conclusions OF the French
scientists, NM. Loewy and Puiseux, rs
to the possible presence of some gas
eous envelope on the moons surface
are OF very general interest. After
giving reasons for concluding that the
formidable volcanic eruptions of which
the moo has been the theater belong
to a recent time in the history Of our
satellite, they point out that these erup-
tions must have set at liberty great
quantities Of gas or vnpors. while the
diffusion of cinders on the lunar sur-
face to great distances infers II gaseous
envelope Of a certain density.
Has the time. they ask. which has
elapsed since the great eruptions suf-
feed to bring about the total disap-
pearance Of this gaseous envelope!
Considering that the already soliditied
lunar surface could only have absorb
ed the gases slowly and with difficulty,
they conclude that from their exami-
nation Of the lunar surface there are
serious grounds for believing that
there exists at the present time a
residue Of atmosphere Of which the de-
lection, surrounded as 1t IL with great
may yet be realized.
