Jerome K. Jerome recalled, with
reverence, habit Of his methodical
uncle who, before packing for jour
ney, always "made list" This was
the system which he followed, gather
ed from his uncles own lips:
Take a piece of paper and put down
on 1t everything you can possibly re-
qulre. Then go over 1t and see that it
contains nothing you can possibly do
without.
Imagine yourself in bed. What have
you got on? Very well; put 1t down.

What do you do? Wash yourself.
What do you wash yourself with?
Soap. Put down soap. Go on till you
have finished. Then take your clothes
Begin at your feet. What do you wear
OF your feet? Boots. shoes, socks. Put
them down. Work up till you get TO
your head. What do you want besides
clothes? Put down everything.
This is the plan the old gentleman al
ways pursued. The list made, he would
go over 1t carefully to see that he had
forgotten nothing. Then he would go
over 1t again aud strike out everything
1t was possible to dispense with. Then
he would lose the list.

THE BIRTH OF THE MOON.
When the Earth Was a Sphere OF
Lava, Molten and Flattened-

w men 0nG ltnFtn vas u oRhCfG "a
Lava, Molten and Flattened-
The earth revolves on its axis once
In "a hours. Millions of years ago the
day was ID hours; millions of years be
fore II was 81 hours. AS we look back
ward into time we find the earth re-
volying faster and faster. There was
time, ages ago, long before geology
begins, when the earth was rotating In
day of five or six hours In length. In
the remotest past the earth reyolved in
day of about five hours. 1t could re-
volve no faster than this and remain a
single unbroken mass.
1t was at this time that the moon
was born-separated, broken off from
the parent mass of the earth. The
earth was then a molten. fiattened
sphere of lava. Its whole body was
fluid. The tides, which now are small,
superficial and SO to say, local, were
then universal and immense. They oc-
Cured at short intervals. The whole
surface of our globe was affected.
And the corresponding lunar tides in
the fluid, molten moon were indefinite
ly greater still.
Our day is now "a hours; the distance
of the moon is now 100000 miles.
When our day was about five hours
long, the moon was in contact with the
earth's surface. 1t had Just broken
away from its parent mass. As the
length of the terrestrial day increased,
SO did the distance of the moon. The
two quantities are connected by in
cxorable equations. If one varies. so
must the other. Whenever the rotation
time of a planet Is shorter than the
period of revolution Of its satellite. the
effect of their mutual action is to ac-
celerate the motion of the satellite and
to force 1t to move In a larger orbit
to Increase its distance therefore.
The day of the earth is now shorter
than the month-the period of revolu-
tion-of the moon. The moon is there
fore slowly receding from US, and 1t has
been recedlng for thousands of CEN
turtles. But the day of the earth is, as
we have seen, slowly growing longer.
The finger of the tides is always press
ing upon the rim of our huge flywheel
and slowly but surely lessening the
speed of its rotation. So long as the
terrestrial day Is shorter than the
lunar month, the moon will continue to
recede from us.-Professor e. s. Hol-
den In Harper's Magazine.

Refining Petroleum.

The refining of petroleum Is process
of distillatlon in which 1t is separated
into several marketable products.
There are two methods of distillation,
known technically as sin vacuo" and
Cracking" In the first the petroleum
is distilled in partial vacuum and In
the second with superheated steam.
This process receives its name from the
cracking sound of the steam as 1t
enters the undstilled petroleum.
