much red tape entangles baggage

some of the devices used are queer,
to say the least. A lover of dogs had

painted ut Intervals on all hcz trunks
and suit cases before sailing for Ger

at least modifying It's conditions.
Gradually, by slow degrees, but surely,
their enrorts were successful. Kindly

o. the Neon.
The moon e really and truly great
planet OF mountains, It's whole visible
surface being dotted with elevations
of curious shapes and OF, extraordinary
height We say Its whole visible sur
face and hasten to explain that We
make this statement simply because
the eye of man has never seen but one
side of the surface of the moon. What
we see convInceS us that the little
plnnet Is extremely mountainous, for
on the end exposed to our view
there are no less than $4,000 peaks.
varying In height from 1000 feet to
four miles. When we consider the fact
that this lunarfan world Is only one
thirty-second part as large as the
earth we can easily see why it de-
serves the title Of the planet of great
mountaIns' There Is a peculiar thing
about these 10000 moon peaks Bach
and every one OF them has ringlike
form, the open end of the conicnl point
being of greater or lesser diameter, ac-
cording to the height of the mountain
In low grade telescope these peaks
resemble true volcanoes, but when
viewed through high grade glass it Is
seen that the depression in the center
OF the queer .'rfng mountain" is often
so great rs to be below the general
level of the surrounding country The
depth of these depressIons is calcu-
lated in curious MANNER, by figuring
on the relative shadows they cast
when the sun is shining full upon
them. The diameter OF these ring
mountains'' varies greatIy. some OF the
larger ones being so. 100 or even $50
miles. while the smaller look like post
holes when viewed through good tel
