MOON 10 A llFelgss WORLD.


Covered with Vast Mountains, but
without Atmosphere or Vegetation.
Children and grown folk, too, like
to think Of the disc the moon pre-
sents to the earth as the smiling face
Of an old man. A little study and a
little drawing upon the Imagination
easily turns the full moon into such
a face, more or less closely resem-
bling, the pictures Of the moon as
shown in children's books. 1t requires
more careful observation to discern
the imam in the moon," with his bun
die Of sticks on his back, as he is seen
by the children Of Germany, who are
taught to regard him with fear and
awe.
Before Galileo's invention of the tel
escope it was not known what caused
the notified appearance Of the moons
surface. We now know that the sur
face of the moon Is diversified with
hills and valleys and mountains and
plains, Just as the earth Is, and that
1t Is the shadows cast by the elevated
portions of the surface that cause some
parts to appear darker than others.
The lunar mountains are vastly
higher in proportion than those Of the
earth. Though the moon is only about
one-fftieth the size Of the earth, it's
mountains are nearly as high, one, at
least, being about four and a half
miles high. Another popularity Of
these mountains is that many of them
have the form Of volcanic craters,
which no doubt they really are. So
far as can be seen all are extinct,
however. Near the center Of the level
floor of these craters, often thousands
Of feet below the top OF the Iilas Is
a curious peak resembling a little
mountain within mountain. Her.
odotus, the largest Of these noun
tains, has a diameter of more than
twenty three miles, and It's crater is
1000 feet deep. Beside the giant
Plato Herodotus Is a mere pigmy, for
the former is more than three times
as far across and deep.
The moon is dead world, a fossil
among the heavenly bodies. There is
apparently no vegetation, no atmos-
phere, no life of any kind. Could we
stand on her surface, everything
would, in consequence, appear strange
and odd. Even at midday the sky
would be studded with stars, but the
sky itself would be black. There
would be no dawn or twilight, for the
sun would rise and set suddenly and
sharply, it's two ~-ceks' intolerable
glare Giving way to another two weeks
Of intense cold. Everything would be
somber, colorless, silent; there would
be only sharp outlines Of light and
shade, softened by no gradations such
as make the earth pleasant and beau
tiful.

Statesman Who Frequently Opposes

George f. Hoar, senior United States

a unique position in the upper house
of Congress for two reasons: First, he
is q distinguished Republican, who is
frequently found in aggressive opposi-
ton to the administration and to the
policies of his party; second, his good
faith and sincerity in such opposition
have never been challenged, even by
those who assail his position most bit
terly.

Don't Harm Them.

Old men tell us that when they were
young there were hundreds of insect
eating birds where there is one today:
In those days all kinds of fruit trees
were long lived and produced fruit in
the greatest abundance. The potato bug
and boil weevil were unknown, and
many other insects which are hurtful
to plants we're the inhabitants of uu-
known lands.
THE ADVERTISERS scientific editor
is away, but we are much inclined to
charge most OF these ills to the scarcity
CT insect eating birds. "A great many
OF these birds are wantonly killed
every day and the matter is unpoticed.
1t Is q breach of the law and should
not be permitted. Every person who
knows OF such acts should demonstrate
with tho offender, and If 1t is not taken
kindly why the law is with you. But
surely no one who thinks would harm
the little birds. Let us think!

There are some subscribers wto did

the extra papers or as the offer was
made at a time when money was ,c1rce

lent to pay in advance. Now however

Tho Cotton Outlook.

While nobody can guess what the
price OF cotton will be du,ing the ain-
ter, 1t Is the united opinion OF AL bust
ness men that the staple will bring at
least . good price as compared with
that OF four or fiye years rgO, The
opinion seems to be general In Wall
street, as reflected by the commercial
newspapers, that the days of s'ven
cents cotton have passed forever. Even
with twelve million bale crops posi-
be mob, dy predicts anything less than
uine OF ten cents as the price. The
reason for this opinion is that the
business world has awakened to the
fact that tbs consumption of co;t"n
has vas ly and rapidly increased. I'm
proved methods of manufacture have
resulted In the use of cotton fabrics for
objects wholly unknown a few years
ago. For example, within the last five
or six years It has come to be the fash
ion Of nearly all c,untri.s to uniform
their armies in cotton goods. Here In
America, until the War with Spain,
ouV So uLerS Worc WCoi' oliCo tuSu
they have worn kh,ki, a G tton ma.
terial. When we remember that Eu-
ropean nations such as Germany and
Russia maintain standing armies of
three quarters Of a million men and
more, 1t Is easy to see how a change
fron wool to cotton may affect the de.
mand for cotton.
We may safely predict thai cotton
will bring this winter q fair price
such a price as will yield a Legitimate
profit to the Industrious and thrifty
producer. The indolent and unthrifty
will not make a profit out Of cotton, re-
gardless Of what the price may be. II
may be further asserted that the time
reached q safe basis. 1t is q better
business today than it has ever been
before. The farmer who does not sue
ceed will, barring special and peculiar
individual misfortunes, have no one to
blame save himself. No m IN on earth
has a better chance to earn q good liv-
log and get ahead OF the world than
the South Carolina farmer, especially
the '~up-country" farmer who lives in
the healthiest region of the United
States. To succeed in farming requires
hard work and self-sacrifice. The
same are required in every other hon
est business. The man who will not
work and will not deny himself has no
right to succeed.
The wise farmer who has land in
these days will hold it and improve 1t
The man who has n0 land and means to
farm had better buy it now In a few
years the price OF land in this country
will be out of the reach Of the poor
man.
