while bordered materials are many

F: C. Brown, taking advantage Of
the extreme sensitiveness to light Of

the amount of light coming from the
moon at different phases, with the
result above mentioned. The reason
for the remarkable difference shown
is to be found in the varying angles
of our satellite to the sun. The moon
