The Fart h-IsOrn Moon.

Looking back through the mists of
tlime we see the moon ever drawing
nearer and nearer to the earth. Our
satellite now revolves at q distance of
100000 miles, but there was q time
when that distance was no more than
100000 miles. There was a time. mil.
lions Of years ago, no doubt, when
the moon was but 100000 miles away;
and as we look further and further
back we see the moon ever drawing
closer and closer to the earth. until
at last we discern the critical period
in earth-moon history when our globe
was spinning round in period of
about five or six hours. The moon, in

City of Wolverhampton in England
Successfully Conducts One.
The first municipality in England to
establish a municipal ice factory under
the approval Of the local government
board is Wolverhampton. says the Mu-
nicipal Journal and Engineer. The
board has authorized the council TO
make ice and sell it to it's customers
and will allow any surplus to be pur-
chased by other traders. Despite the
many objections that were raised
against this undertaking, on the
ground that it WAS too doubtful for
any municipality to assume, the otli-
Gals went ahead with their plans.
The council fortunately decided to
Incorporate with the ice factory cold
stores and this union of interests
yields better results than IL the cold
stores were undertaken alone. In fact
the men interested in the work felt
that to cut out the manufacture of ice
from the scheme would absolutely ruin
1t from financial standpoint.
The estimated demand for Ice In
Wolverhampton is about 1900 tons n
year and a mandatory producing
seven tons a day could meet this con-
sumption; but to provide for any pos
sible increase in the city. a plant Of
ten tons output per day was installed
and ARA ngements were made so that
this could be increased to twenty tons
if necessary. The cost of the build
ings and insulating was estimated at
SIS, 800 and for this necessary machin-
cry and appliances SIS, $50, making a
total of SIT. 250. 1t is estimated that
the rum ng expenses will be $1O,995.
which includes 212 per cent allowance
for depreciation and sinking fund and
interest on the loan. The cold stores
have capacity Of 225O0 cubic feet
which if let at 20 cents per foot will
produce $1,000, and calculating on four
months, 1900 tons Of ice at $6.25 per
ton, would bring in $S.125. a total Of
S12.G23 and profit Of S1,630.

are trying 10 pick a rather ugly quarrel
with NJ Pelletan. the Minister of Marine.
And it is by journalists that this former
solely to the press, is attacked. =
There has been published letter ad-
dressed TO NJ. Peletan by person named
Pararye. former secretary of the famous
NJ. Humbert. In this letter NJ. Pararye asks
aid of the Minister OF Marine. and reminds
him that formerly. when NJ. Humbert was
elected Deputy for the Department of the
Seine at Maarne. he, NJ. Pelletan. received
a considerable sum of money for speech
in which he demanded and obtained the un-
seating of Comte Greffulhe, the lucky COM
petitor of NJ. Humbert.
NJ. Pelletan having denied that he re-
ceived this letter, the journal which is con-
Quoting this campaign, published post
office receipt proving that the letter had
been received at the office of the Minister.
And. as always happens in similar circum-
stances. people are discussing not whether
NJ. Pelletan received the money which
would be very wrong. but whether he re-
ceived the letter. which would prove moth
ing. for what should be shown is the ruth

its reception. 4-
