large a share Of the humane society's
condemnation as the checkrein. There
is no disputing the fact, however, that

Photorraphea by Earth-1 lrht.

Everybody who loves TO watch the
heavenly bodies has frequently noticed
when the crescent Of the new moon ap-
pears in the west, the phenomenon
called the old moon in the young
ones arms Partly embraced by the
horns Of the crescent is seen the whole
round orb Of the moon, glimmering
with a pale, ashy light. The cause Of
the appearance is that the earth-light
upon thatpartof the moon not reached
by the sunshine is sufficiently bril-
liant to render it family visible to u
eyes. Lately successful attempts
have been made, particularly in
France, to photograph this phenome-
non, and the pictures thus produced
are very interesting.

pepth Of Cyclones.

From the study of clouds Prof. F.
H. Bigelow of the United States wealth
er bureau concludes that the ordinary
cyclones which traverse our country
from west to east are not more than
two or three miles in depth. although
their diameter is many hundreds Of
miles. In other words, their motion
does not affect the upper regions Of
the atmosphere. In the case of hurri-
canes Prof. Bigelow finds hat the
depth is greater, amounting to as much
as five or six miles. But higher cur
rents blow directly across the cyclonic
and anti-cyclonic areas which pro-
duce storms and fair weather at the
surface of the earth. Some Of Prof.
Bigelow's conclusions upset former
ideas concerning the circulation of the
atmosphere.
