DANGER IN DELAY.
PROMPT ACTION MUST BE TAKEN
TO PRESERVE HEALTH.

Kidney troubles are dangerous be-
cause they creep on $50 stealthily that
they get firm grip on the victim be-
fore he is aware of it. They manifest
themselves in such varied forms that
they are easily mistaken for other dis
eases.
Make no mistake!
Do not delay!
Treat the kidneys now!
The kidneys are sick and will not get
well unless you use kidney medicine.
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills is the
certain, safe and prompt remedy for
the kidneys only. It cures. It has
cured people right here in Honolulu.
A. J. Cahill, of Fort street, this city,
night Waterman in the employ OF
Messrs. T. H. Davies & Co., Ltd, says:
Whilst young man / was sailor
and at one time worked for the Inter-
Island service. I was, however, oblig-
ed to give up sea life on account of
severe suffering from my back and
kidneys. For this I had tried various
remedies, but the one which restored
me to health was Doan's Backache
Kidney Pills-procured at Hollister's
Drug Store. They relieved me COM
pletely after years of suffering. If any
one desires further particulars he may
apply to me. am to be found at Van
Dorn's Ship Chandlery, Fort street"
You should get the same medicine
which helped Mr.. Cahill. See that the
full name, DOAN'S BACKACHE KID
NEY PILLS, is on the wrapper and
refuse any imitation.
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
sold by all chemists and storekeepers

EVIDENCES OF LIFE ON THE
MOON.

Shortly after sunrise spots appear on
the moon, which rapidly darken to-
ward noon and fade away with the set
ting of the sun. Sometimes they are
inky black, sometimes gray. They are
particularly noticeable at the equator,
although they are not lacking in what
would correspond with the temperature
zones of our earth. Never are they
seen at the poles.
Perhaps they are merely shadows, it
may be suggested. But long shadows
are not cast when the sun is directly
overhead. Perhaps they are due to
some mineral. But no mineral has vet
been discovered that darkens as the
sun shines upon it and then pales again.
These variable spots are caused only
by vegetation, according to Professor
Pickering; and his simple view, it must
be confessed, is the most satisfactory
that has yet been advanced.
How is it possible for organized life
to withstand the bitter cold of the
moon: How is it possible for vegeta-
ton to spring up in a single day9 And
how is it possible for vegetation to
thrive without liquid water9
Life, particularly in the lowest
forms, is hard to destroy Some bac-
terra resist death even when exposed to
the most intense cold. In the arctic
regions of our own globe certain
lichens wage the battle of life against
temperature that never rises above
freezing point and is usually much be-
low that. The apparent absurdity of
requiring plants to leap into being in
single day is not so ridiculous when
it is considered that a lunar day lasts
half a terrestrial month There is no
reason IN the nature of things why, in

{ THE PROBLEM OF A LUNAR
Atmosphere.

n MOOI
If there be snow and ice on the
moon, and if this snow and ice melt,
the moon ought to have an atmosphere.
Now, if there is anything of which as
tronomers have felt unshakably GER
tain, it is the utter lack of any lunar
atmosphere. No one ever saw clouds
on the moon; and clouds are usually the
accompaniment of an atmosphere. The
light of the stars that drift behind our
satellite as it swims through the
heavens is never bent out of it's course
near the edge of the moon, as it ought
to be if there were gaseous envelope.
Strong as these arguments may be,
they apply only to fairly dense atmos-
pheres. If the moon has an atmosphere,
it must be so exceedingly rare that
even the occultation of star can NOT
indicate its presence. The force of
gravitation on the moon is so very
much less than it is on the earth that
oxygen would escape from the moon
with about the same facility as hydro
gen from the earth. That there is
lunar atmosphere, however, Professor
Pickering has demonstrated by the best
possible Photographic proof.
If you can prove that, why not also
prove that there is organic life on the
moon?
First you must analyze your atmos-
phere, and determine if it is chem
ically able to sustain life. It has been
stated that the moons few active vol
canoes vomit water and gas. Judged
by earthly standards, that gas can only
be carbonic acid, which is so heavy
that it must cling to the planet more
tenaciously than any other. Given a
sphere, therefore, on which there is
water in the form of ice, snow, and gas,
and on which there is also carponlc
acid, the food of plants, is there any
good reason why vegetation should not
be present?

once formed part of the earth, it is fair
to suppose that active lunar craters
must likewise vomit water and gas.
Wafer. if there is any on the moon, can
exist only in two forms-as a gas and
as ice. Whys Because the moon g
temperature never rises above the melt
ing point of ice when the sun is hot
test, and is probably several hundred
degrees below zero during the night.
Then, you ask, has any one ever seen
snow or ice on the moons
Among the lofty lunar Apennines,
towering twenty thousand feet above
the Sea of Showers, white peaks blaze
out in the sunshine. Within the larger
lunar c7aters a silver lining CLEANS
brilliantly. On the slopes of many
mountains, on the walls and central
cones of the smaller craters, white
caps strangely fash into view after
daybreak, only to fade away again as
the sun rises higher and higher, and to
reappear as it sets. From Tycho and
several other prominent craters long,
spoke-like streaks radiate for hundreds
of miles-also white, also mysteriously
evanescent under the rays of the rising
sun.
What is this argent panoplys In
the eyes of the old astronomer, the in
explicable chatoyant play of light and
shade; in the eyes of Professor Picker
ing and his adherents, merely snow, ice,
and boar frost, melting as it should
melt under the rays of the sun, and
crystallizing once more into a white
deposit at nightfall. 1t is snow and
ice that CLEAN in the rays of Tycho,
rays that are now regarded merely as
deep crevices in which the impounded
snow can be seen only when the sun is
at the zenith; and snow and ice, too,
that stain the moon s poles with white.
Up to the present time, no one has
satisfactorily explained the pazzling
notifications in two crateTs known as
Messier and Messier A. One man finds
them as like in size and shape as two
drops of water; another considers them
wholly dissimilar. Sometimes Messier
seems the larger of the pair, and some
times Messier A. Modern instruments
of precision never lie; each observer is
right. If any evidence were demanded
of physical changes on the moon, this
pair of craters would furnish all that is
needed. A consideration of the time of
lunar DAY WneH the TWO undergo thelr
enigmatic gyrations has convinced Pro-
fessor Pickering that the phenomenon
is due entirely to the varying distribu-
ton of boar frost.
Night after night, any one with a
fair-sized telescope may see many round
craters distorted by melting SHOWS into
kqueer forms. Because these forms are
never twice alike at corresponding
times of observation, they can be oc-
casioned only by evaporating snow.
