The Moons Atmosphere.

The recent conclusions of the French
scientists, MN. Loewy and Puiseux, as
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 moon has been the theater belong
to a recent time in the history of our
satellite, they point out that these erup-
tons must have set at liberty great
quantities of gas or vapors, while the
diffusion Of cinders on the lunar sur
face to great distances infers 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 solidified
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 q
residue of atmosphere of which the de-
lection, surrounded as it is with great
difficulties, may yet be realized.

Examples That Were Used In Egyp
5000 Years Ago.

Examples That Were Used In Egypi
5000 Years Ago.
Probably the oldest copy book for
home lessons in arithmetic was recent
" unearthed in Egypt. The papyrus,
which was found in excellent condi-
ton, dates from the period about 100
B. C.-that is, about 100 years before
the time of Moses, or almost $500
years ago. 1t proves that the Egyp-
tians had a thorough knowledge Of
elementary mathematics almost to the
extent of our own. The papyrus has
long heading, Direction how to at
tain the knowledge of all dark things"
etc. Numerous examples show that
their principal operations with entire
units and fractions were made by
means of addition and multiplication.
Subtractions and divisions were not
known in their present form, but cor
rect results were obtained nevertheless.
Equations are also found in the pa
pyrus. Among the examples given is
this one: Ten measures Of barley are
to be divided among ten persons in
such a manner that each subsequent
person receives one-eighth of a meas
ure less than the one before him. An
| other example given is: There are sew
en- men, each one has seven cats, each
cat has eaten seven mice, each mouse
has eaten seven grains Of barley, each
grain of barley would, If cultivated,
have yielded seven measures Of barley.
How much barley has been lost in that
way?
The papyrus also contains calcula-
tons of area, the calculation of the
area of a circle and it's transformation
into a square, and finally calculations
of the cubic measurements Of pyra'

DUSK ON rHE WIDE, Low PLAIN

Dusk the wide, low plain,
And CLINT in the foreground lying
Water fringed by ring of tremulous whispering
reeds,
And over it circling bats
And the sound of the kildees' crying,
And around it the sigh of the wind in a network
of shivering weeds
Dusk on the wide, low plain,
And star in the distance peering
Over the serried peaks of shifting, vanishing blue
And oak tree black the sand,
And hare Looping off through the clearing,
And, out where the tarweeds toss, the bleat Of
wandering eve.
Dusk on the wide, low plain,
And a crane to the pools descending,
And soft where the mulleins wait, the fit Of
ground OWLS wing,
And hawk beating home to his perch
Where the clouds with the crests are blending
And shades of the fastening night round the less
ening foothills cling.

Frank Hoffman, dyer in Converse &
Hyde's mill at Stafford Hollow, on Friday
morning last, entered the dye house, and
was soon seen rushing out completely en-
veloped in flames. Rushing to the race
way he plunged in, and was with difficulty
rescued by those who were about the mill.
He was found to very badly burned. more
particularly about tie stomach. He could
give no account of the accident, but as he
was subject to fits, it is supposed he was
taken with one just as he had lighted his
lantern, and falling had pulled the lighted
lantern upon him, igniting his clothes.
One night last week the family of one
of the citizens of South Coventry was
| awakened by strange noise In the house,
accompanied by rather an unpleasant
odor. Investigation proved that little
animal (called by vulgar people skunk }
had entered the house through hole left
| for the convenience of the cat. The
skunk, on entering the room, encountered
the cat and gave battle. The combat
ragged quite freely, and the noise awak-
ened the family. The unwelcome visitor
made good his escape, leaving abundant
evidence of his odoriferous qualities.

held good in church, led his sister up
