measured the amount of light coming
from the moon at different phases wi i
the result above mentioned. The rea-
son for the remarkable difference
shown is to be found in the varying
angles Of reflection presented by the
roughened surface of our satellite to
the sun. The moon is brighter between
first quarter and full than between
full and last quarter. The cause Of
this is evident in the more highly re-
Elective character Of that part of the
moon which lies west of its meridian.

FLOATING IN THE AIR.
The Impression on Ascending In a
Free Balloon.

Free Balloon.
One of the first questions which am
usually asked by persons seeking in
formation ABOUT balloons is. What is
the sensation Of going up in balloon?"
writes Captain c. DEF. Chandler, U.
S. A. l will anticipate this same in
Qury of the readers of this article and
state for their Information that in
free balloon | have not noticed any pc
culiar physical sensation which can be
described. 1t would be like trying to
describe standing still as a sensation.
The impression on ascending in free
balloon is more az optical illusion. The
ascent is so slow and gentle that it
cannot be felt, and one has the impress
sion that the balloon is motionless and
the earth gradually cropping away. All
the noises and shouts of the people be-
come fainter and die out AS the alti-
tude increases hills and valleys are not
apparent. and the earth seems fat. like

EDUCATED Boards.
Whiskers In Paris Reach the Pinnacle
Of Cultivation.

Of Cultivation.
1t is in Paris that the whisllcr
reaches its highest state of civilization
and development. The luxuriant YER
dure on the faces of some of the Pari-
slams who strut along the boulevard
every day can be compared to nothing
but the riot of vegetation in the trOp-
les. Every Partisan has whiskers-
much whiskers if he can, but some
whiskers at any rate. He supplements
natures efforts with the best aids of
TIE Iarher and trains and nurses his
lirsute appurtenances with anxious
care.
The Parisians spend hours on their
boards and educate them into formal
gardens, set pieces. shrubbery, terrace
and vista effects. They lay out hair
scapes with them, arrange them in IN
dulating meadows and Irvine them ON
pergolas. There is the long, spade con-
coction much sought by men with
black boards. which consists of about
a foot of hair cut square across the
bottom and adds much glory to the
wearer, for the whiskers always shine
and glisten in the sun. There are side
v'inders and pointed ones, the heart
shaped and the curved, the waved and
the plain. A man who can train his
whiskers to grow in a new way is as
much of celebrity as q man who
writes a good poem or paints good
picture.-Samuel G. Blythe in Every
bOdy's Magazine.
