A correspondent corrects some erroneous state
nents about a month with no full moon. which
appeared recently In a paragraph quoted from a
Missouri paper LAS q matter of fact" he says.
..,be month of February. 1886. had full moon.
which fell the 18th. reference TO the almanac
for that year will show The month of February,
1892 however had no full moon. nor did that of
1896 and this is no nfrequent occurrence but hap
pens every twenty thirty years. The month Of
February having except in leap year, only twenty
eight days and the moons phases beng separated
bv an average period of twenty-nine days 1t of
necessity follows that In February frequently only
three such phases occur. The phenomenon is
therefore neither rare nor OF any interest. and
the ONLY wonder is who could first have started
SO foolish a story as that no month without a
full moon had occurred since the creation of the
world nor would recur again for two and half
million years
