ODD MOON BELIEFS.
The ORR OF Night as Food Forsst

1 srhe Orb OF Night az Food For the
- Immortal Gods. -
z certainsit is that a belief in the moon
as the abode of the. fathers Was widely
sspread among the people speaking the
Afyan languaiges. To tile present DAY
: the peasants: IN Swabia dire heard to
7say. s.sAIay-l go TO the moon If did 1t,
Einsteaa OF ..s,May Idle il Ibid it" Nay.
Speople who work on the Sabbath day
ARE threatening even now that they
,wilf no to I'd moon that 10, that they
will die and be punished In the moon.
!. A. more nstartling: dea-peculiar, 1t
would seem, to India-was that OF the
moon serving as the food of the gods.
And aSef though It 'sounds str'lnee p
us, it was not so very unnatural an
idea after ain me gods, flloughi invisi

by tie gods Hence the ready conclu-
Esion=that it wassso and that 1t was, in
Tact. this food which secu red to the
gods their immortal life ,,s.a J..
IF so much had once been grahted.
then came the question. How was the
moon grad6aliy mcretse1 and restored
to its fullnesss "A MI here the old su-
perstition came til that the souls or the
departed entered the moon. SO that the
waxing Of the moon might readily be
accounted for by this more ancient ar
ticle of faith. Hence the systeniatizei
belief trat4tii2 moon waiies while it is

Although lightning and thunder Oc-
cur always simultaneously an interval
Of shorter or longer duration IL usual.
IL observed between these two Dhe-
nomena, which Is due to the fact that
sound travels only at the rate Of 1.1OO
feet per second, while the passage Of
light is almost instantaneous Based
upon this fact, it is an easy matter to
tell, at least approximately, how many
miles q thunderstorm Is away. A nor
NAL pulse will beat one stroke to the
