SAYS THERE'S SNOW ON MOON.
Prof. w. n. Pickering Returns from
Jamaica with Results of Several
Months Observations.


Prof. w. H. Pickering, of the
Harvard observatory, who has been
making astronomical observations in
Jamaica, West Indies, for several
months, has brought a series of
photographs of the moon, which ap-
pear to establish the interesting
fact that there is snow on the moon.
To secure the necessary details
the surface of the moon was arEi-
trarily divided into 16 parts, and
there are five pictures of each of the
16 parts. Arranged in series then
all the prominence and depressions
on the moons surface appear lighted
under five different angles of sun
light, and the astronomer may fol-
low any chosen object of observation
under as many conditions of light
and shade.
What the snow is can as yet be
only a matter of inference. 1t is
most probably the snow of water.
1t appears that the presence of an at
mosphere on the moon is accepted
now among astronomers.
