Many people suppose that moonlight
possesses great potency and has a won
derful influence on or over animate
and inanimate things on our planet.
Such persons should remember that
moonlight Is only reflected sunlight
ard that the quality ansl quantity of
the light thus reflected aie not what is
generally imagined In fact. 1t Is d
truth which has often been demonstrate
ed by the speculative astronomers that
II would take 8180O0 full moons to
afford an amount Of light equal to that
emitted by the sun, and, Furthermore,
there is only sky space for 10000 such
disks. Some beat comes from moon
light. However. It is in quantities SO
small that II cannot be measured by
ordinary instruments. ILLUMINATION
says that the amount OF heat emitted
by full moon while at its zenith can
not be more than one eighty-thou
sandth Of the amount that the sun sup.
plies when standing on the meridian
on favorable day in July. Such be-
ing the case, it is really surprising
that intelligent people should consider
that the moon has such a wonderful
Influence over terrestrial affairs.
