The AInon'S Volcanoes.

1t Is evident to anyone who glances
up%ar'l at h moo that its volcanoes
are on an immensely larger scale than
those which stud u globe. One ex
PLANTATION, now abandoned, is that the
force OF gravitation being there only
one-sixth hat OF the earth, the matter
expelled from a crater would be spread
FAR more widely, and explosions would
be generally on a lar more magnificent
scale. Professor Pickering quotes this
theory only 20 refute 1t in some compari-
sons which he made between the great
the smaller craters Of the moon. The
facts seem to him to be that the larger
crHters on the moon came into existence
when the thin, solid crust covering the
molten Interior was, owing to the solid.
location and contraction OF the crust,
much too small to contain the liquid
material The crsters were the refore
formed by he lava bursting through the
crust and so relieving the pressure. Lat
er, after this relief had been found and
the crust had thickeutd, the interior re-
gions by cooling sbrank away from the
solid shell, which was nov too large and
being insutlicieutly supported, caved in,
permitting the great assure eruptloDs
which produced the so called lunar seas.
These extensive outfiows OF lava dissolv-
ed the Original solid shell whenever
they came into contact with 1t, much as
they do in the present day in Hawaii.
Had the noon been much smaller these
eruptions might not have occurred, and
il the noon had been much larger, their
relative size would have been greater.
Most probable on the earth similar out.
bursts were greater, and our original
gigantic craters were destroyed by the
outflow OF the earlier archaic rocks
which completely submerged and dis
solved them.-London Post.

Barley for Nevada Deserts.

Professor Gordon True Of the Uni

series OF experiments which mean a
great deal to the state Of Nevada. He
has demonstrated that winter barley can
be planted Oh the deserts and in the un-
irrigated valleys OF Nevada in the early
fall and make the land which
now produces nothing but K
brush and baDch grass yield thousands
Of bushels OF iirst-class barley. fe has

OF barley and hos been successful with
both kinds. The bcardless barley
grows rapidly and will yield moro than
tbirty-five bushels TO the acre, while tho
Tennessee winter barley will yield more
than forty bushels 20 the acre.
Prof. True has been experimenting
with barley for several seasoue, but It
was only this last winter that he sue.
ceeded in finding the best kind for the
dry Districts. lilo hos now grown bar
ley on the experiment farm without
irrigation and the product is excellent.
lilo planted two different varieties OF
barley last fall, tho Tennessee winter
barley and the bcnrjiess barley. fIe
took much trouble IN caring for the
barley, but did not irrigate IT, dcpeud.

under their own supervision, thus being
assured that it would be done satisIac-
torily and save to themselves the profit
that ordinarily goes to the contractor.

t1butable Is the newly constructed irri-
CATION system, which runs lateral within

OF instances, AS a result OF the high

works have suspended operations and
should the water continue to rise the
present plant, valued at many thous.
ands OF dollars, will have to be aband-
oned. The process employed in TAX ng
soda from the lake up to the present
year was by means Of checke, into which
the water was run and lef to evaporate,
with the result that the soda was depos-
tied on the bottom OF the checks when
later the workmen could gather it and
haul it to the refinery for burning. The
gradual rise Of the water has inundated
half the checks already , and another
foot rise will suffice to cover the avail
able and abutting on the lake, which
viii make necessary some other method
Of treating the water.

ed from the lake which is situated in IN
