LUNAR SCENERY.
It's Appearance Proves the Moon,
Lack of Air nnd Winter

Its Appearance Proves the Moons
Lack of Air and Water.
1t Is by indirect methods of observa-
ton that scientists learn of the alb
sencc of atmosphere In the moon.
There are various arguments that can
be ndduced, but the most conclusive is
that obtained on the occurrence of
what is called the occultation of n
star. 1t sometimes happens that the
moon comes directly between the earth
and star, and the temporary eXtinc-
ton of the latter is an occultution. We
can observe the movement wien 1t
takes place. and the suddenness of the
extinction of the star is extremely re-
markable If the moon had a copious
atmosphere, the gradual interposition
Of this would produce n gradual cX-
tinction of the star and not the sudden
phenomenon usually observed.
This absence of air and water from
the moon explains the peculiar and
weird rusgedness of the lunar scenery.
We know that on the earth the action
OF the wind and of rain, of frost and of
snow Is constantly tending to wear
down our mountains and reduce their
hard outlines. but no such agents arc
at work upon the moon.

SOLAR HEAT WAVES.
The sun ana the Hot stove Pour Out
the Same Kind of Energy

the Same Kind of Energy.
80 lar as know no reasons Mt all for
doubling the high temperature of the
central body of the solar system have
ever been found. There are in general
three distinct ways in which heat can
be transferred from one body to an
characterization, convection and radl-
alton. The first two are dependent
upon the presence of matter. The lat
ter will take place across perfect
vacuum
we may receive heat from n stove by
all three methods. If we place our
hahds upon 1t we receive heat by con-
ductlon; If we hold them above 1t they
are warmed by convection, the heat be-
ing brought to them by the rising cur
rent of hot air; If now we stand in front
or the stove we still feel its warmth,
the sensation in this case being pro-
duced by the heat waves which it
emits. These waves are similar to the
electric waves used in wireless telegra-
ply, differing from them only in their
length. They bear the same relation to
them as the ripples on mill pond bear
to the Atlantic rollers. With the in
struments ut our disposal at the pres
cnt time we can measure the length of
these waves as accurately as we can
measure the length of table with a
footrule, and we can prove that they
will pass through vacuum, n plate of
glass or tank full Of liquid air with
out losing their ability to warm our
hands. We find, however, that if we
pass this radiant heat through certain
substances-water vapor. for instance
Its intensity is diminished owing to
the fact that some of the waves have
been absorbed. 1t is possible to deter
mine the exact length of the waves OF
heat which have been removed by alb
sorptlon in the vapor, and If we test
the radiation which comes to us from
the sun we find that waves of this
same length are absent, the water va
por in the earth's atmosphere having
refused to transmit them. This fact,
taken alone, is pretty good evidence
that the sun and the hot stove are
pouring out the same kind of energy

CHINESE PROVERBS.

A vain woman is to be feared, for
she will sacrifice all for her pride.
A woman without children has not
yet the most precious of her jewels.
A naughty woman stumbles, for she
cannot see what may be in her way.
A woman DESTROYS Of being seen by
men is not trustworthy. Fear her
glance.
Respect always silent woman.
Great is the wisdom of the woman
that holdeth her tongue.
Trust not the woman that thinketh
more OF herself than another. Mercy
will not dwell in her heart.
A mother not spoken well of by hel
children is an enemy of the state. She
should not live within the Kingdoms

Il will give you the beer II you want
IL, he said to the first man who asked
for drink Of beer. but I have some
thing better here In the finest lemon
ade to be found IN camp" Removing
the cover. he disclosed a generous yes
sci hIIed to the brim with rich lemon
AIDE. and a large lump OF Ice In the
middle. II was too tempting TO re-
sist and the lemonade was purchased
instead OF the beer. Before noon OF
the Grst day his lemonade was known
throughout the camp. and the run upon
the canteen was such that he was kept
busy making more. and he took pains
to keep the quality up to the mark.
The major came by and saw how he
was conducting the place, but he rails
ed no objection. The men Of the reRi-
ment understood the reason for sup
plying the lemonade, and although at
first there had been some disposition
on the part Of the rougher ones to
make merry over the uncomforta bic
situation I'm which the young man had
been placed, even these came to sd-
mlre the spirit in which he obeyed or
ders, and they rallied to his support.
When his duties at the canteeu were
over, he was found at the camp

helping in the religious work Of the
regiment. But the popularity Of his
lemonade proved 20 great as to de-
mand steady supply Of It, and in
proportion as the lemonade was con-
sumed, the sale Of other drinks dimin-
ished.
The young soldier had obeyed his or
ders. and performed a task which his
soul despised. but he did It in a way
that helped TO give ais regiment the
reputation Of being one OF the soberest
and most orderly IN camp.

ed to assist in hOrseshoelng: and so

within a month they were able to
make as good horseshoe. and shoe a

trained to the trade from youth.
1t was not exactly what we had in
mind when we enlisted. said one Of
them, "and II was as near the battle
field as We ever got; but II was our
way Of serving our country then, and
We tried to do our duty"
A harder duty still was assigned to
another man in the same regiment.
The major detailed him to keep the

total abstainer. but he was opposed
TO the canteen on principle. and in his
conversation with his comrades had
made no secret Of his feeling in the
matter.
lie hOtly resented his assignment TO
this hateful labor. and could easily
have risen in rebellion at what seemed
a gratuitous insult to his Well-known
principles. But he said to himself that
the responsibility for his assignment

the responsibility for the way in which
he performed his duty was his own.
