But there may possibly be trouble
ahead. A late report from Rome says
that the Carlist agitation in Spain is
assuming alarming proportions. The
agitators are said to be fully prepared
to take up arms and promise to strike
a heavy blow before the attainment of
the majority of the boy king. After
the coup Don Carlos is to be placed
on the throne. The report further
states that the Italian government
had notified Don Carlos that he must
leave Italy with his entire family.
However, the truth of the matter is
that the periodically reported Carlist
uprisings are not much more than a
few loud speeches of sympathizers of
the pretender in the cafes Of Madrid,
Rome and Venice. Neither Don Car

MOON REcEDINe FROM EARTH.
Slowly Increasing Its Distance From
This Terrestrial Planet,

Scientists say that the moon is re-

earth, and will continue to recede for
countless ages until the terrestrial
day is shorter than the lunar month.
Millions of years ago, when the earth
was a molten mass, it reyolyed
around it's axis once every five or six
house. The moon then was a part Of
the earth, but in time became broken
on and became it's satellite.
AS the motion of the earth de-
creased and the day became longer
the distance of the moon became
greater. Our day is now twenty.
