Photographer by Earth Light.


Everybody who loves to watch the
heavenly bodies has frequently no.
ticed. when the crescent of the new
moon appears in the west, the phe-
nomenon 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 q pale, ashy light.
The cause of the appearance is that
the earth light upon that part of the
moon not reached by the sunshine is
sufficiently brilliant TO render it faint
~ visible to our eyes. Successful at
tempts have been made, particularly
in France, to photograph this phe-
nomenon, and the pictures thus pro-
duced are very interesting Youths
