Moonlight.

Many readers may not be aware of
the fact that the full moon gives sew
eral times more than twice the light
of the half moon. They may be still
more surprised to learn that the ratio
is approximately as nine to one. Pro-
fessor Joel Stebbins and +. G. Brown,
taking advantage of the extreme sensi-
tiveness to light of a selenium cell.
measured the amount Of light coming
from the moon at different phases with
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.

JACKSON EDITOR KEEPS

'If Fred Sullents really intends to

didn't even blink. After an impress

after standing out in the cold for
few moments the drunken man de-

ANTI-RACE TRACK

Albany, n. Y. April 9.-After as
thrilling and tempestuous a struggle
as has been witnessed here since the
so cents gas contest, the senate de-
feated the Agnew-Hart anti-racing
gambling bills by a vote of 25 to 10.
Hughes will, in all probability, call
an extra session of the Legislature, un-
less meantime he succeeds in jamming
through the bills he wants.
Hughes sent a special message to
the legislature, urging the necessity of
passing the anti-race track gambling
bills. senator Grady bitterly attacked
the governor, saying he is becoming
a common scold Senator McCarrcn
charged that the message is an Insult
to the senate, and urged the senate to
send the message back to the COVER
nor. inviting him to attend to his own
business.
