Latest Ideas of Science As to Lunar Conditions


Millions Of years ago the earth was
not the land bound, sea swept globe
so familiar to US, but liquid mass Oh
which ioated crust some thirty five
miles thick.
At that period, says the Strand
Magazine, it turned on its axis at a
constantly increasing speed that final

When that terrific velocity was obtain

The cleaving of so large a body
must have left some scar on the
earth's surface. 1t has accordingly

was once filed by what is now the
moon
Our moon has the distinction of
being the largest of all planetary sat
elites; so large, indeed, that to the in
habitants of Mars it must appear with
the earth as wonderfully beautiful
twin planet.
Because the moon rotates on its axis
in exactly the same time that it re-
wolves around the earth we are destin-
ed to see little more than one hem;-
sphere. So slow is its rotation that the
lunar day is equal to fifteen of our
days. For half month the moon is
exposed to the fierce heat of the sun;
for half a month it spins through
space in the densest gloom.
Smaller in mass than the earth is

much and run six times as fast as he

Although separated from us by a

miles, and is never less than 222. 600
miles, we know more of the physical

Water cannot possibly exist as a
liquid; for the temperature of the
moons surface during the long lunar
night is probably not far from 46O
degrees below the zero mark of a
Fahrenheit thermometer, and the
atmospheric pressure is so low that
a gas under pressurs would sol.dify
as 1T escaped. Ice and snow are the
forms, then, which lunar water must
assume.
Because OF the present paucity OF
water the moons atmosphere is so ex-
ceedingly rare that startling effects
are produced. Perhaps the most strik-
ing is that of the sunrise. Dawn and
the soft golden glow that usher in
terrestrial day there cannot be. The
sun leaps from the horizon a flaming
sickle, and the loftier peaks immedi-

There is no azure sky to relieve the
monotonous effects of inky black
shadows and dazzling white expans-
es. The sun CLEANS in fierce splendor,
with no clouds to diffuse it's binding
light. All day long it is accompanied
by the weird zodiacal light that we
behold at rare intervals.
Even in midday the heavens are
pitch black, so that, despite the sun
light, the stars and planets CLEAN
with a brightness that they never ex-
hibit to us even on the clearest and
moonless nights at sea. They shine
steadily, too; for it is the earth's at
mosphere that causes them to twinkle
to our eyes.
In the line of sight it is impossible
to estimate distances, for there is no
such phenomenon as aerial perspect-
i've. Objects are seen only when the
rays of the sun strike them.
At times there may be observed
spots which darken at sunrise AMI
gradually disappear toward sunset.
They cannot be caused by shadows;
for shadows would be least visible
when the sun is directly overhead.
They appear most quickly at the
equator, and invade the higher alti-
tudes after lapse of few days. In
the polar regions they have never
been seen. What are they? Organic

while the sun shines and withers at

A single day, it may be urged, is
not sufficiently long for the develop

sixteen hours on the moon is little
more than half an hour on earth: a
day lasts a month, and may be regard
ed as miniature season.
