OUR CHILDREN'S CORNER
WITHOUT A MOON.

NOE. some sixty million years ago,
the earth. then a mass of molten
lava. reyolved pom its axis In
abolt five hours, instead of, as now, In
+ventv-four. In that dim, far-away
mast the moon itself a great flaming
orb. much larger than at present, was
onlv q few hundred miles from the
earth. and as the two planets spun
with fearful velocity, the attractive
mower of our satellite, the moon, raised
a tide wave of molten lava, hundreds
of feet high, which continually raced
beneath 1t. This put a drag upon the
earth's rotation and slowly, and more
slowly the earth turned, the day
heightened and the moon receded.
without a moon the oceans OF the
world would be practically tideless.
The little moon that often looks no
bigger thar a cartwheel, has power to
raise the ocean into vast tidal waves.
The sun 8 power to raise tides is so
slight in comparison that the solar tides
NV themselves are scarcely worthy OF
consideration.
Were II not for these moon-caused
tides the whole map of the ATTITUDES,
40 degrees north and south OF the
equator. would have been so vastly diff
ferent from what it actually is, that
the most vivid imagination can scarcely
picture it. England, for instance, would
in all probability, still be a part of the
European continent, as it was once be-
fore the tides and ~tide-caused currents
cut the Straits of Dover, in which case
It is almost certain that the British
nation would not rave attained It's
present greatness.
Astronomers and historians would be
lost without the moon. Without her
there would have been no means for
savage or early nations to record time

moon around the earth from west to
east has been the means of noting time

taffeta bands and close the front with
enameled buttons In like color. This
would be pretty if trimmed with black
and rose striped taffeta.
A great deal depends on getting the
sleeves in exactly the right position In
the blouse. 1t is well for the home
dressmaker to pin or haste them most
carefully, looking to it that they do
not draw or pull a fraction of an inch
before stitching them into place.
The use Of black velvet as a trim
ming occurs to us every now and then,
each time with the force of a surprise.
1t is quite a puzzle why we eve leave
off using 1t, considering how often even
a tiny bow will give a note of distinc-
ton to an otherwise very ordinary
dress.
This summer a clever little touch of
black is to be seen on many frocks.
It is particularly effective on a light
dress worn with a black hat. At the
shore the other afternoon a very pretty
woman was wearing a dress of greeny-
blue shantung, trimmed with green and
blue and mauve embroideries, with a
vest and high collar of white lawn and
lace. From the shoulder to the base
of the vest on either side there was a
narrow line of black velvet ending in
a small bow with short ends.

Care of the Pantry.
Even in the most careful housekesp-
ms simmer IS apt to bring ants of
even small insects; especially in d
Etehen closet where supplies as well as
dishes are <ept.
: To prevent them the shelves should
be busted at least once a week and
fresh papers put in every month;
o%ftener. if anything of a sticky nature
has been spilled.
If powdered borax is put over the
shelves, under the papers. it will help
10 keep away insects.
Never allow preserves, desserts or
sauces to stand uncovered In the closet;
and see hat the outside of the mo-
lasses jug is carefully washed off after
each using. Nothing more quickly
breeds trouble in a closet than care
~lessness about such things. :
Sugar must be kept tightly covered
both for its own seke and to keep the
cupboard clean. Many housekeepers
think II is much less liable to get ants
in it il it be kept in japanned or porce-
lain-lined boxes rather than in wood.
AS the wooden boxes rarely have lids
that hinge they are much more often
itli pIti.
Dc not permit the cook to keep the
closet In a Cutlery condition. If each
article has its place and Is kept in it
not only is time and temper saved, but
there is less danger of ants and reaches
finding a nesting place in huddled-up
corners.
IF hooks are put in the bottom Of
some shelves many that are crowded
on top of each other can be hung and
much room saved.
In the pot closet especial vigilance is
necessary against insects, as too often
all the grease Is not scalded out of
skillets. Every housekeeper should
take a look at this part of the closet
once a week. Forbid piling of the pans
in indiscriminate heaps. Hang as many
as possible.
Have everything taken out and the
floor scrubbed at least twice a month.
If there be any cracks in the wood
work or signs of mice holes, have them
filled at once.
