straight up In the morning into a sky

twilight and no daybreak could cheer
Us. for there would be nothing to diff.
fuse the light.
Unless the sun shone directly ON q
thing we could not see IT. Thus our
houses would have to be made OF
some transparent substance or else be
artifcially lighted Ia the daytime. Nc
soothing shades would appear I'm the
landscape. but everything would stand
out boldly and clearly, every object
casting dense black shadows that
would render invisible any one enter

for there would be nothing to enable
them TO utilize their wing motion. No
clouds would be seen In the intensely
black sky, and no thunderstorms or
high winds would be possible. No
vegetation could exist, and no animal
could live. In fact, this old earth
would be as dead as Hector as far as
activity was concerned.
Yet this Is the exact condition of
affairs on the moon. which has no at.

plate the successive events ON the

would suffer violent explosion, for
each contains air at g pressure OF fif-
teen pounds to the square inch on the
outside, which is balanced by an equal
pressure on the inside and would rush
outward on the first pressure being
removed. This can be shown by plac-
Ing the hand over an air pump and
gradually exhausting the air. The part
exposed will gradually swell. Another
