PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE MOON

TT has been observed that on account of the
absence of an atmosphere on the moon. and
the consequent lack of graduation in shadows.
the eve of the observer is seriously misled in
Judging the actual relief of objects forming
the lunar landscapes.
Professor Prinz of Brussels has recently de-
veloped a method of avoiding this difficulty.
and of seeing the craters and other details on
the moon in their natural proportions. taking
advantage of the fact that as the moon travels
round the earth. the eccentricity of its orbit
produces the effect of slow ibration or bal
ancing to and fro. which causes its face to be
inclined now a little one way and then a little
the other way.
Professor Prinz makes two photographs Of
the lunar object to be studied. at opposite
points in the Iteration. and then combines
them in stereoscope. whereupon the object
stands forth in full relief. This principle has
hitherto been applied only to photographs of
the moon as a whole, and not to particular
Craters or regions.

is being done with livestock and grain will
sooner or later be done with western wool.
western hides and leather. and all the fruits OF
the prairies. Before long the consumers OF
these western products will have to come to
the West to do their buying.
Furthermore, the prairie people are no
longer satisfied, as they once were. with selling
their products only as raw materials, even at
rate beginnings have been made in milling;
and year by year manufacturing industries OF
all classes are gaining In numbers and strength.
There seems to be no good reason why the
prairies, which grow the bulk OF the nation S
wool and hides, shall continue to send these
materials to the East for manufacture. The
practice is being stopped. at the dictates OF
sound economy and as years pass the pralr1eS
are furnishing greatly increased Quantities OF
finished wares for the markets. This means
that the prairie country is keeping for itself a
larger share of the profits accruing from the
initial industry of the farms. The towns and
cities are becoming more than mere trading
places for raw farm produce: they are doing
their share to give to these products their
final value in the markets. Manufacturing IS
already far past the experimental stage in the
West.
Let it be said again, with II. emphasis. that
the people of the Prairies have won their pres
ent standing not by legislative black art nor
sticking to their knitting" They have pros
pered upon the profits of legitimate industry
industry which the world cannot get along
without That makes for clean, sound health.
and gives guaranty of sure resources and the
abiding comfort of earned rewards. There is
nothing very spectacular about it. perhaps:
but it is very satisfying, very reassuring for
the time to come.
The struggle is not finished. Much remains
to be accomplished. and the means of accom-
plishment are not all clearly known. Ger
tainly. though. the people are in the right
temper and headed in the right direction.
They do not doubt the outcome.
