Birth of the Moon.

From the London Telegraph.
Year by year the moon is getting a few
inches more distant, and reversing the ar
gument, year by year, in the great past,
the moon was nearer to US. Prof George
Darwin has shown that long, long ago the
moon revolved close to the earth. and still
earlier formed part of this globe. From
that time to the present he calculates at
least 54,00O,0O0 years must have elapsed.
The birth of the moon took place. there
fore, somewhere about that date in the
past. SIR Robert Ball observed that when
the moon was near to US its attraction
must have produced enormous tides, many
times greater that those that wash orr
shores today. and he suggested that these
tides, by their powerful erosions and vast
ing of the land, accelerated the geological
periods which the geogolists have demand

English sparrows Disappearing.

From the Louisville Courier Journal
English sparrows that fairly swarmed in
New Albany are disappearing at a rate that
has become noticeable to close observers,
and they are at loss to account for the
rapid diminution in the number of the
birds.
Whether they are dying off. being trapped
or slaughtered in large numbers or are go
ing away can only be surmised but it is
certain that the number is rapidly decreas-
ing. Persons who have been observing the
decrease in the number of the birds are in
clined to the belief that they are migrating
The birds have never before been known to
migrate

In order that the readers of The

Injected into it a measured quantity Of

the carbonates of lime. or if such do
not exist in the natural raw water, be-
cause Of a measure quantity of clear
