The Moons Mission.

Some partisans of final causes have
imagined that the moon was given to
the earth to afford it light during the
night. but in this case nature would
not have attained the end proposed,
since we are often deprived at the
same time of the light of both sun and
moon. 10 have accomplished this. end
it would have been sufficient to have
placed tile moon at first In opposition
to the sun and in the plane of the
elliptic at distance from the earth
equal to the one hundredth part of the
distance of the earth from the sun and
to have impressed on the earth and
moon parallel velocities proportional to
their distances from the sun. In this
case the moon. being constantly in OPP
position to the sun, would have de-
scribed round it an cllipse similar to
that of the earth. These two bodies
would then constantly succeed each
other. and, rs at this distance the moon
could not be eclipsed, its light would
always replace that of the sun.-La-
place.

The Depraved Camel.

"Any ordinary horse on the street
might well feel insulted at being named
in the same class as domestic ami
NAL with that four legged impassive
vehicle, the camel" writes traveller.
Fidelity in camel does not exist An
artist might as well depict devoted
crocodile fondling lost child as a
faithful dromedary standing over the
corpse Of its fallen master. Lockwood
Kipling touched the core Of the matter
when he avowed that man might as
reasonably lavish his affection on a
baggage wagon. In short, the camel is
an unredeemed boor, more british than
mule, less sensible of endearment
than even of extremes Of temperature
and weather It's virtues are of the
body. its great endurance compromising
for mental and moral depravity that
must be labeled nothing short Of
amazing"
