Face of the RTeen as Hxnewn te Our Aa- tr0nomeFs Wath0at Parallel

Face 0f the RIoon as Known te Our Aa- tronomers withoat Parallel en Barfh.
 Our moon has the distinction of be- ing the largest of all planetary sateI- 1 lites; so large, indeed, says the strand Magazine. that to the inhabitants of Mars 1t must appear with the earth as a wonderfully beautiful twin planet.
 Because the moon rotates on its
 axis in exactly the same time that 1t revolves around the earth we are destined to see little more than one hemisphere. So slow Is this rotation that the lunar day is equal to fifteen of our days. For half a month the moon is exposed to the fierce heat Of the sun; for half a month 1t spins through space in the densest gloom. Although separated from us by a
 distance that at times reaches 2b3.-
 900 miles; and is never less than
 222,000 miles. we know more of the
 physical formation Of the single pal
 lid face that the moon ever turns
 toward us than we know of certain
 parts of Asia and t4-e heart of Africa Powerful telescopes have brought our satellite within a distance of forty miles of the earth. Physicists have automatically weighed 1t and fixed its mass at one-eighth of the earth, or "a, ,000. .000, ,000. 900 tons.
 The moon presents aspects without any terrestrial parallel. Rent by fires long since dead, it's honey-combed crust seems like a great globe of chii- led slag Craters are not uncommon on the earth, but in number. size and structure .hey bear, for the most part, little resemblance to those of the moon.
 A lunar crater is not the mouth of a volcano having a diameter of few hundred feet. but a great circular plain twenty-five. gven one hundred miles In diameter. Surrounded by precipice rising to a height of hve thousand or ten thousand feet, with a central hill or two about half as high.
 Water cannot possibly exist as liquid for the temperature of the moons surface during the long lunar night Is probably not far from 460 de- grees below the zero mark of a Fah- renheit thermometer. and the atmos- phere is so low that a gas under pres sure would soHdify as it 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 exceedingly rare that startling effects are produced. Perhaps the most striking is that of the sunrise. Dawn and the soft golden glow that usher

 Cousin Thomas shook his head and smiled. Bessie handed him a letter, and he smiled as he opened it. but as he read it he felt that there are times when a great general can serve his cause 1 etter by making a treaty of peace than by sacrificing lives need iessly.
 "Why, yes," he said, T do play gols.h'

 He stayed long enough to learn that even inexpensive gifts to cousins, of they are eighth cousins. and if the gifts are properly forgotten. may lead to the right to give such things as en- gagement rings.

the sort of young woman he liked to be master of.
 But Mrs. Marlowe came into the room alone Bessie was up stairs woldiy ransacking her desk for some memorandum that would tell her what her gift to cousin Thomas had been, but she did not find it. What she found was letter from cousin Thomas dater December 26, and unopened. She tore 1t open and read:
 Dear Cousin Bessie--Accept my thanks for the pretty match safe. It is just what I need. With best wishes for happy New Year, your grateful cousin, Thomas Grant"
 Thomas was relieved when he saw his cousin Martha enter the room. To the eye she was merely large and good natured lady. motherly and jolly. His appearance in person had evident ly sufficed to atone in her eyes for his past social sins. and she liked him at first sight. She liked his frank face and clean-cut look. She was able now
