WHITE PATCHES ON THE MOON
Thought by an American Observer
to BE Snow, But English Scicn-
fist Says Not.

From a series of photographs taken
in Jamaica a few months ago, Prof. w.
II. Pickering has concluded that
small amount of snow may exist on the
moons surface. He noticed in particu-
lar that the great walled plain of Plato
shows a regular progressive change
during the lunar day. White patches
are seen upon it's floor, which, Is the
sun rises higher above it, diminish in
size and vanish; and these, Mr.. Pick
ering believes to be snow. In an article
entitled: Changes on the Moon-Real
and Apparent" in the Pail Mall Maya
zine, Mr.. E. Walter Maunder states his
reasons for believing that Mr.. Picker
ing is mistaken, reports the st. Louis
Republic.
The observation itself may be &C
copied Indeed, there is nothing novel
about it. Such changes in the illumlna-
ton of the floor of Plato are described
n all the textbooks, and, SO far as his
observations have yet come to hand,
they appear to contain nothing new.
For to have snow we must have an
appreciate atmosphere, capable OF
sustaining water vapor; and that the
moon has no such atm osphere we
know, both from observation and from
theory. The sharpness with which
star disappears when the moon passes
before it, the intense blackness OF all
shadows on the lunar surface, the
crispness of the horns of the crescent
moon, the absolute lack of any spec
troscopic evidence for a lunar atmos-
phere during an eclipse of the sun
an observation which was repeated un-
der the most favorable circumstances
by the French astronomers in Egypt
during the eclipse of November IL last
are quite sufficient to rule IN appre-
cable lunar atmosphere out OF
court.
But the theoretical consideration
are vet more conclusive. The first
point to note is that lunar atmos-
phere. if it existed, would be distribut-
| ed in quite different fashion from the
atmosphere of the earth. Here we
| find that if we climb mountain some
three and a half miles high-a little
higher than Mont Blanc. that is to say
we should have passed through one
| half of the atmosphere; the barometer
| would record for us pressure but one
| half what it had done at sea level
| Were is possible to ascend to twice that
height, to seven miles, the pressure
| would be reduced to cnefourth; and at
| ten and half miles, to one-eighth
| Not so with the moons atmosphere
Whatever its density on the surface
we should have to ascend nearly &c
miles before that density was reduced
| to one-half, and to AZ miles before il
was ouartered. This difference OF
| distribution, if we take account of j
atone, would have very striking eff

When Lydia E. Pinkham's Rene

all over the country frowned upon
their curative claims, but as year
after year has rolled by and the
little group of women who had been
cured by the new discovery has
since grown into a vast army of
hundreds of thousands, doubts and
skepticisms have been swept away
as by mighty food, until to-day
the great good that Lydia e.

among the women of America is
attracting the attention of many of
our leading scientists, physicians
and thinking people.
Merit alone could win such fame;

that there was only one sensible and manly
way to comb the hair, and that was to part
it on the side-either side. Everything else
was dudish and affected In his opinion.

critics with old established methods, relates
the Chicago Chronicle.

There was no discussion, and shortly
thereafter an old friend of the family

How They Pop the Question.

In this favored land Of the free
every lovelorn swain has his own way
of making love and popping the ques-
ton, but in some foreign countries
the peasantry have peculiar and ira
dictionary ways Of performing those
pleasing functions. Among Hungarian
eypsies cakes are used as love letters.
Inside the cake is coin. which Is
baked in it. The cake is flung to the
favored object Of ones affections. The
retention Of the cake signifies "ac-
ceptance," but if it is flung back with
force, 1t signifies rejection
The Japanese lover, wishing to
make known the state OF his feelings
throws a bunch Of pale plum-fower
buds into his loved ones litter as she
enters it to go to friends wedding.
If she tosses the blossoms lightly out
the suitor knows that he is rejected;
but if she fastens them to her girdle,
1t is "Oh happiness" with him
In some parts Of Spain the young
peasant looks unutterable things. but
never tries to speak until he has been
accepted. The girl neither looks nor
speaks, but she sees. Late IN the
cool of the evening the youth knocks
at her fathers door and asks for
gourd of water. 1t is, Of course. given
to him. Then comes the crisis. II
he is invited to take chair within
the porch or a seat in the garden he
is an accepted suitor; but If this civil
ity is not extended to him. he goes
away knowing that he is rejected. II
he is accepted, there is a general cele-
bration by the family Of the bride-to-
be in honor of her betrothal.

Don't Starve the Mind.

How many there are who have been
very successful in saving money, but
whose minds are as barren Of any
thing beautiful as is the hot sand OF
the Sahara Desert! These people are
always ready to invest in land. stocks,
or houses, but are never able to buy
books or collect library.
We know men who started cut as
bright, cheerful boys, with broad. gen.
erous minds, who have become so
welded to money-making. so absorb
ed in their business, that they cannot
find time for anything else. They
never travel or visit their friends.
They consider it foolish or extrava-
CANT to go to the opera or a good
play; the daily paper limits the ex-
tent of their reading; recreation OF
any kind is relegated to q far-away
future, and yet these men are SUR
prised, when they retire from business
late in life, to find that they have
nothing to retire to. that they have
destroyed the capacity for appreciat-
ing the things they thought they
would enjoy.-Success.

next man you see in a parade who
has flowers in his hands, especially II
he is mounted. and observe how utter

flowers sent to public officers come
from men or companies that expect
to ask and receive favors, to estab-
lish the idea of being generous and
thoughtful with the hope that the SEN
ator, alderman or whoever the re-
cipient is, may be approached when
his help is needed without breaking
the ice." At least one Providence
official received flowers at the City
Hall yesterday from citizen whose
requests for special attentions have
made office-holding burdensome to the
recipient for many months. Verify.
men in political Office should fear the
Greeks who bear gifts.-Proyidence
