THE DARK OF THE MOON

MANY people have wondered why the part
A'A of the moon that receives no sunlight is
often visible to u.s. the term being the "old
moon in the young moons arms The dark
part IS easily seen as copper colored globe
reposing in the bright crescent This that we
see is nothing more or less than the earth-shine
on the moon. We appear the same way to the
moon when in that phase, and our dark
part is where the moonshine appears and the
bright part the sunshine.
The reason the copper color appears is be-
cause light has to traverse the atmosphere of
the earth three timeS,-once coming from
the sun to the earth. once when reflected to the
moon, and again on being reflected back to US.
Our atmosphere possesses the peculiar property
of absorbing the blue rays of this white light
and allowing only the red and orange to go
through. thus causing the appearance of copper
color by the triple absorption.
An odd thing connected with this phenom-
enon, though having nothing to do with it, is
this: That part of the moon which appears
dark to us is the same part of the earth that APP
pears light to the moon at any specified time,
and that part of the moon which appears
bright to us corresponds to the portion of the
earth appearing dark to the moon.
Of course it is well known that the moon
gives out no light whatever itself, the moon
shine being merely the light of the sun on the
moon reflected to us. The same applies with
the earth in its shine the moon, save that
do give out CLOVIS. doubt, around great
cities at night. on account of the enormous
number of lights One thing, however in
which moonshine excelS the earthshine is its
constant character. Where the earth possesses
varying clouds the old moon never has any at all.

A Wolfng Feast

W/E returned to our Samb camp about
three p. NJ, to find still unfinished the task
of removing the elephants four feet and clean

throughout the night. The huge, marrowless,

Lights Went Out.

The illustrated lecture on the
Yellowstone Park, which was to have
been given by Rev. Williamson last
Thursday evening, at the Boys Bri-
gade Barracks, unfortunately had to
be declared off on account of the
breaking of a linch-pin at the electric
light plant and the suspension of light.
The break occurred just at the hour
when the entertainment should have
begun and the lights came on again at
the hour when it should have closed.
Owing to arrangements with the
Northern Pacific company of an ar
bitrary nature, the slides had to be re-
turned the next day, and the lecture
could not be given at all. MIR. Will
hanson, however, has telegraphed to
Chicago for his splendid set of Grand
Canyon views and will soon make an
other date. A splendid crowd was
in attendance.

District Sunday School Convention.

Last June the County Sunday
School Convention held at Cotton
wood, advised that district Sunday
School conventions be held through
out the county, proceeding the annual
convention. The matter was placed
in the hands of an executive COM

district conventions. The first will
be held at Sites, April 10th. One
will be held each succeeding day at
Cottonwood at Whtebird and at
Grangeville.
The committee has succeeded IN
procuring the services of L. J. Bop

He is thoroughly in touch with the

Three Great Railways Contend
for Clearwater Country.
so LEWISTON PAPERS SAY
Jealousy of r. r. Magnates to
Precipitate Fight.

The filing of articles of incor-
poration at Boise of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & Puget Sound Railway
for construction of railway lines in
Idaho, one which covers an extension
to the Clearwater river, is produ ctive
of great deal of conjecture on the
part of those who have been watching
the railroad game with deep interest
for months past; and it is the ex-
pressed belief of many that it por-
tends battle to the finish between
three great railway systems fol-
supremacy in the north Idaho timber
and mining country. The decision
of the Milwaukee to tap the valuable
Clearwater timber belt by the exten-
sion from Boville to Elk Creek, il
is confidently contended, will force
upon the Northern Pacific and O. R.
s. N. the necessity of making ex-
tensions of their lines as a matter o.
self protection. That there is some.
thing in the air of deep interest, ano
it is to be hoped also of benefit, tc
the confding public, there seems to
be little doubt. Let us bide a wei
and see if the righteous do not come
into their own when the scrap is OIL
in earnest.
