FROST ON THE NOON.
A Harvard Professor Makes an Inter-
esting Discovery.

Chicago. April 16.-A dispatch to the
Chronicle from Cambridge. Mass, says:
Prof. Pickering of the Harvard observ-
atory thinks he has discovered unnis-
taxable evidence of boar frost on the
MOON strengthening his previous theory
in that direction He is now busy work
ing out his calculation made during the
recent eclipse of the moon and will
make known the results in a few days.
During the total eclipse last fall Prof
Pickering found that the dark spot
around the Lime crater had greatly
increased during the darkness away
from the suns heat and that it was
boar frost he claimed, was shown by its
diminution as the light increased. If
the spot were stone. he argues, no light
would have been reflected while the
earths shadow was upon the moon.
Recent measurements tend to confirm
this belief.

The agonizing itching and burning of
the skin, as in rczelna; the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair
and crusting Of the scalp, as in SCALED
head; the facial Disagreement, as in
pimples and ringWorm; the awful suf-
fering of infants, and anxiety of worn
out parents, as in milk crust, letter and
salt rheum, - all demand a remedy of
almost superhuman virtues to success
fully cope with them. That Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Resolvent are such
stands proven beyond all doubt. No
statement is made regarding them that
is not justified by the strongest evil
dence. The purity and sweetness, the
power to afford immediate relief, the
certainty Of speedy and permanent cure,
the absolute safety and great economy
have made them the standard skin cures
of the civilized world.
