Moon Is Uninhabited

The moon being much the nearest 10
us Of all the heavenly bodies, we can
pronounce more definitely in its case
than in any other. We know that nei.
ther air nor water exists on the moon
in quantities sufficient to be preceived
by the most delicate tests at our com.
mand. 1t is certain that the moon g
atmosphere. if any exists, is less than
the thousandth part Of the density of
that around us. The vacuum is greater
than any ordinary air pump is capable
of producing. We can hardly suppose
that so small a quantity Of air could be
Of any benefit whatever In sustaining
lifej an animal that could get along
on so little could get along on none at
all.
But the proof Of the absence Of life
is yet stronger when we consider the
results of actual telescope observation.
An object such as an ordinary city
block could be detected on the moon.
If anything like vegetation were pres.
ent on it's surface, we should see the
changes which IL would undergo in the
course Of a month, during one portion
Of which IL would be exposed to the
rays Of the unclouded cold Of space
