'THE Birth or THE MOON.
When. tho Earth Was Sphere Of
is. Lava, Molten and Flattened

When. tho Earth Was a Sphere of
-, Lava, Molten and Flattened. 49,
The earth revolves on it's axis once
II. "a hours. Millions Of years ago the
day was % hours; millions Of years be-
fore it was q hours. AS we look back
ward into time we find the earth re-
volving faster and faster. There was
e 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 revolved 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, f1attened
sphere of lava. It's whole body was
fluid. The tides, which now are small,
superficial and, SO to say, local, were
then universal and immense. They &C.
Cured at short intervals. The whole
surface of our globe was. affected.
tnd the corresponding lunar tides in
the fluid, molten moon were Indefinite
~ 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 it's satellite, the
effect of their mutual action Is to &C.
celerate the motion of the satellite and
to force it to move in larger orbit
to increase it's 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 it has
been receding 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 it's 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.

SIMPLE REMEDIES.

Diluted ammonia is good for insect
bites and stings.
i A raw egg swallowed at once upon
getting a fshbone in the throat beyond
the reach Of the finger, it is said, will
dislodge it and carry it down.
A simple remedy for indigestion is
the white of an egg beaten to a stiff
froth and stirred into a wineglassful
of cold water. This should be taken
after each meal.
For burns and scalds, when no other
remedy is at hand, try the effect of a
piece Of rag stepped in vinegar and
bound round the scar. This is espe-
cially useful when cooking, for the
vinegar is generally at hand.
To cure a severe case of collie take a
teaspoonful of salt in pint of water;
drink and go to bed. This is one of the
speediest remedies known. 1t will also
prove eficacious in reviving a person
who seems almost dead from heavy
fall

Canar1es us Weather Pronhe ts

Il have heard Of all sorts of baromc-
ters' or, rather, weather signs, but
know of no more reliable weather
prophets than my Birds" said a Balti-
more lady who owns several canaries.
Il can almost always tell when it is CO.
ing to rain by the distinctness with
which I can hear the trains at night,
but the birds are even more reliable
than that. If I hear them SINGING in
the morning early, before I take the
coverings of their cages off, I know
that the day will be a good one, no
matter if it is raining at the moment,
but if they do not sing am sure there
will be bad weather before the day is
over. I have never known them to fail,
and never think Of going shopping or
calling unless the birds sing in early
morning. That is why I never get
caught in the rain, as many Of nv
friends do. That poor weather bureau
man, who makes so many mistakes in
his prophecies, ought by all means to
get himself some canaries. '-Baltimore
Sun.

Preparing For a journey.

jerome X. 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 uncle's own lips:
Take a piece Of paper and put down
on it everything you can possibly re-
quire. Then go over it and see that it
contains nothing you can possibly do
without.
Imagine yourself in bed. What have
you got on? Very well; put it down,
together with change. You get up
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 it carefully to see that he had
forgotten nothing. Then he would go
over it again and strike out everything
it was possible to dispense with. Then
he would lose the list.

The Backslider.

::AIany years ago." says the Provi-
dence Journal, Gin village not 20
miles from Providence a reviva, was in
progress. A young man, one Of indis-
,tinguishable twin brothers who had
previously been observed, as was sup
posed, in an attentive attitude at the
meeting, rose for prayers. walked to
the anxious seat, and there waileu and
noaned to such good purpose that the
deacons were sure he was on the high
road to salvation.
The next day he was overheard in
the back yard at home chopping wood
and swearing painfully at refractory
leg. When demonstrated with for his
sudden backsliding, he merely said.
"Oh, brother Jim couldn't go to the
meeting last night, so I went and hol-
Tered for him."

MA things take many men to the
wi Canadian wilds. Ask dozen diff
ferent people that you meet in the
Muskoka and Georgian Bay districts
what they came for, and you VIII get
a dozen different answers. But there
are even more than dozen different
reasons why men go TO these wilds.
The massive, dense, silent forest, with
its great pine and hemlock trees tow
ering heavenward, its tangled under
brush and fieet-footed deer attract
many; its placid lakes, with their
shore lines of rugged granite, and the
islands that shoot out of the water
as though thrown up by strong hand,
as they were, attract others; the fish,
the canoeing and the silent grandeur
of untrammeled nature attract still
more.
All of these like, but there is still
another attraction that appeals
strongly to me. That is the honest,
fearless guides, veritable children OF
nature. and the stories they tell. For
us at Kah-pee-kog Frazer had ever Q
new story. He knew the woods and
the lakes and the myths thereof; even
more he loved them and deemed 1t a
pleasure to tell of them. AS for us

under his direction, we hustled across
the water to the mainland to extln-
guish it. 1t was futile effort, the
fire seemed everywhere, and as fast
as we beat and drowned it out at one
SPOT it would break out at another
Finally we gave it up, trusting that
the clouds hanging overhead would
bring the only possible relief for the
massive pines.
Already the fire had gained such
Roadway as to make longer occu-

itv of the blaze impossible with com

canoes and pushed out into the water

Frazer sat without saying word, and
we rather wondered at his silence, for
