The moon receives from the sun subStan-
TALLY the same amount of warmth as does the
earth. area for area. But as it has little or no
atmosphere. this warmth is not retained. but is
radiated out again into space. Then. too being
a much smaller body than the earth. it long
ago parted with larger proportion of its origi-
nal internal heat. These considerations have
led the belief that the temperature the
moon is at or below the freezing point. although
this is a question that has not been fully de-
cided. Presumably. though. it is cold enough
on the moon to CONCEAL water, if there is any
water to CONCEAL.
At any given point on the moon in moderately
low latitudes it takes about week for the sun
to rise from horizon to zenith. and another week
for it to set. Then ensue two weeks of darkness
and cold. Hence If aly ice exists on
the lunar surface it probably remains un.

The twenty ninth annual conyen-
ton of the international Association
of Fire Engineers will be held in
indianapolis, August 97th to Both
next. This association is educational
in it's objects, and is not a mere social
gathering, as some suppose. Among
the topics for discussion before this
convention will be the following: The
danger to firemen from electric light
and trolley wires, and how remedied;
the danger of chemical explosives;
cisterns of water as fire supply com
pared with hydrants; the necessity OF
regular inspection of buildings, auto
matte sprinklers, stand pipes and fire
escapes; driven wells for fire purposes;
&c. These questions will be discussed
by prominent scientific and practical
men. Some very valuable ideas are to
be obtained from the discussion of
these subjects
Chief Arnett, of this city, attended
the convention last year, at Louis
Vile, and was well pleased with the
practical character of the ideas brought
out at that meeting.
Full information respecting accom-
modations, rates of railroad fare, &c.
can be obtained of Henry A. Hills,
Secretary, Wyoming, Ohio.
