MOON FULL OF CRACKS
Astronomer at Lick Observatory
Has Not Made a New
Discovery.

Berkeley, Cal, Dec. lS.-The dis
coVery Of a great crack or rill on the
face of the moon which extends length
wise through the valley of the Alps
Tor distance Of eighty miles, is one
of the facts announced in the latest
bulletin issued from the Lick observa-
tory. The rill on the moon was dis
covered by Assistant Astronomer ].
b. Perrine with the 36-inch telescope
The rill is in the nature of a crack in
the moons crust, or Of dry river bed,
only few hundred feet in width and
some eighty miles in length, extending
through the center of the valley. 1t
can be seen only under good atmos-
pheric conditions and when the sun is
shining upon it at the proper angle.
Boston, Dec. 13-AccOrding to Assist
ant Professor William II. Pickering. OF
Harvard astronomical observatory, the
moon is cracked in eco places. Pro-
lessor Pickering made this statement
tonight in connection with the Asso-
ciated Press report from Berkeley.
Cal, announcing the discovery by AS
s.stant Astronomer j. d. Perkins of
Lick observatory of a great crack or
I'LL extending lengthwise through the
valley Of the Alps for a distance of
eighty miles
Why" he said, when shown the
article. that is nothing new. 1 re-
member observing that crack in 1892,
hut / never embodied It in any Of my
reports because it was so unimportanC
i'm comparison with others have seen.
/ should say the moon had at leas:
1000 cracks. -Ri2
They are scattered indiscriminately
over it's surface, except that there art
few Of them near the poles. The one in
question is in latitude so. They are
caused by a contraction Of the moons

CRITICS ARE PLEASED
LeOncavaIIo's Opera Full of
Songs Which viii Be Sung
the World Over.

Berlin. Dec 13-The stage OF the
royal opera house was piled with
Treaths of laurel as Ruggerfo Leonca-
Tallo was recalled for the last time to-
right after the production of Der
Roland Won Berlin" Emperor William
stood up in his oox applauding, and the
brilliant audience called bravo" Crit

emma, London. st. Petersburg and all
rarts OF Germany think LeOncaVallo
has eoualled his best work Although
Leoncavallo said his ma esty ought TO
have had at least a quarter as the
einperor's suggestions had been ac-
cepted in the construction of every
scene.
The music. in the opinion of several
foreign critics, is a skiIfuI blending of
the martial and the lyrical. The opera
is full of songs that viii be sung on the
concert stage around the world within
two or three months, especially the
Song of Longing" sung by Fraulein
Eestinn as the burgomaster's daughter
and the Love Duet" sung by Fraulein

the principal hero's role. The last act.

Margrave Frederick. breaks I'm the city

peror William received Signor Leon

crown order, second class.
Berlin, Dec. 1.-THE critics in the
Berlin morning papers content them
selves with moderate praise of Leon

duced last night at the Royal opera
house, the general opinion being that ii
l. pleasing but not a work of the high
est rank and unequal in quality The
Hbretto is highly praised for it's dra-
1aatic value. but the music in places
is characterized as reminiscent of Leon
cavallo's earlier operas, with the sug-
sestions of Meyerbero. The prologue
and first act are generally praised and
the third act is declared TO be the weak
point in the opera. Some of the critics
reserve judgment until after the per-
tormance of Friday and Sunday.

Important Decision.

Under a recent ruling OF the
general land Office a good many
people who have completed their
homestead proofs in this section
of North Dakota will have to re-
advertise and prove up again.
For a good many years the law
read that final proofs could be
made in the county seat town OF
the county where the land in
question was located, regardless
of whether that town was in the
land district where the land was
located or not. AS it reads now
all proofs must be made within
the district where the land is To-
Gated. This will necessitate the
re-advertising and proving up OF
many claims which have been
proved up within the past five or
six months, where these condi-
tions were not complied with

May Double Land Values.

Many believe that when the
farmers of Ward county get to
raising macaroni wheat more
generally, the land will increase
much in value. The past season
macaroni wheat produced 20 to
% bushels to the acre, and COM
mon wheats about half that
amount in this locality. There
appears to be a disorganized ef-
fort in some localities to dis
credit this grain, and it is to the
interest of every farmer and land
owner in North Dakota to let
the real facts be known. The in
PRODUCTION of this wheat means
the doubling in value OF many
farms in this state. Many fami-
lies use only macaroni for bread
making, thinking it superior to
the other kind.

Town Quickly Moved.

Salt Lake, Utah, January g.
Calientes, which was a town OF
1000 population, has been vir.
tually wiped of the map and in
a day at that. Yesterday Cali
entes, which is just over the Ne.
vada line, was a bustling little
city. Today it is almost desert
ed. All this is due to a change
in the line of Senator Clark's
transcontinental railroad which
is building toward the Pacific
coast. The route was run seven.
ty miles beyond Calientes and it
required only twenty -four hours
for the population of Calientes to
bundle up and build a town on
the new site touched by the road.
Fifteen hundred people in tents

Get Back at Them.

Fargo. n. D.. Jan. THE ele-
vator will not contribute to the
fund this year for disqualification
Of the proceedings Of the Tri-
State Grain and Stock Growers
convention, to be held in Fargo
Jan. 1923. For the first four
conventions the elevator COM
panies with headquarters in Min
neapolis and Duluth assisted in
the publication. There was a
wide distribution of the litera-
ture, and it undoubtedly had a
beneficial effect in assisting the
farmers in raising larger crops
and a better quality OF grain.
At the last convention there
was a strong sentiment favoring
the Wisconsin inspection. In
fact, the convention appointed a
committee to assist in the move
ment, and requested the state
legislature to send a committee
to Madison, which was done.
Some of the remarks made in the
convention were not OF a nature
that the elevators regarded as
complimentary.
This year when the companies
were asked if they would con-
tribute there was an emphatic
negative response.
