of the Dipper are situated degrees

To remember this, as these stars being
always visible and more familiar than
any others, serve as a standard of
measure, which the eye can readily
make use of in determining the dis

miles deep. 1t is now generally con-
ceded that the moon has but very little
If any atmosphere. and in support Of
this theory very strong reasons can be
advanced. For instance. there are no
indications of twilight, a phenomenon
that implies the presence of an atmOS-
phere. For if she had a twilight there
would be a gradual transition from the
light TO the dark portions, but no such
transition occurs on the surface as
there is weii-defined line between the
light and dark portions.
1t is an interesting cOntempla ton for
us to try to realize how the earth would
appear as viewed from the moon. The
surface of the earth would appear
about thirteen times as large as that
of the moon viewed from the earth.
This fact would add immensely to the
beauty of the starry heavens, as viewed
from our faithful companion. However
we must not suppose that because the
earth appears so large her physical fea-
lures become more distinct Indeed L
is just otherwise: for. owing to the
dense atmosphere of the earth it would
render a clear view of her surface a
matter Of great difficulty, if not of alb
soIute inpossibility.

DEAFNESS CAN
NOT BE CURED

by local applications,a as they can- not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf ness is caused by an inhamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed you have a rum bling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and un- less the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
