THE EARTH AS A MOON.
Our World AZ It Appears to Venus and
Our Own Moon

Our World a. It Appears to Venus and
Our Own Moon.
II we could be transported to the
planet Venus a peculiar set of views
could be obtained of our earth which
some extent at least. as others see us.
Venus is about the same size as the
earth. is somewhat closer to the sun
and has more atmosphere than the
earth. When the earth and Venus are
nearest together they are, of course, on
the same side Of the sun. and in conse-
Quence Of this the earth does not see
more than a very small part Of the
Venus illuminated. but Venus. on the
other hand. sees all Of one side Of the
earth illuminated and consequently is
able to claim she has something that
takes the place of a moon anyhow. for
the earth to Venus at this time looks
very large and bright. almost as much
so as our moon does to US.
If we could see all the illuminated
surface Of Venus on these occasions
we should have quite a distinct sec.
Ond moon. When we do see all of her
Illuminated surface she is on the op-
posite side Of the sun from us and con-
sequently at an enormous distance. yet
she is SO brilliant as to keep Us from
seeing her surface distinctly.
But to our own moon we appear in
the best light as moon. A full earth
as seen from the moon. according to
Professor Todd and other astronomers
is very inspiring sight on the moons
surface. 1t can at once be seen why
this is necessarily true. The earth is
several times larger than the moon
and would appear in the heavens as
disk about fourteen times the size of
the moon. 1t would shine with prob
ably a variable light, due to the shift
ing clouds on the earth. though the
light. Of course. is reflected from the
sun. and the rejecting is done in part
by the upper surfaces of the clouds.
The outlines Of the continents Of the
earth appear very clearly to the moon

"And If soldiers get thirsty marching

for us, we ought to get up and do
something for them"
"What could we do?" asked Cherry,
her eyes big this time.
"We might give them all the water

day after tomorrow"
"Oh, so we mightr' Cherry exclaim-
ed. But l wish we could give them
lemonade instead; it's eve so much
nicer"
"But it would take a ton. my dear"
said Billy, who sometimes addressed
Cherry as he heard his father and his
mother address her.
Lets ask mamma about it."
Back clamored the children to the
kitchen with their request. Mrs. Mer.
rift thought she saw a chance to teach
a lesson in real patriotism and a little
endurance.
"You can have a pail of water and
several tumblers." she began. IF you
will agree to stay all the morning-that
means from 9 o'clock until 12-and
hand glasses of water to the veterans
as they pass by. They go past the
house on their march, and a halt is
usually called at the corner close by.
Remember. If you do this at all you
must do it thoroughly. Bridget will fill
the pail for you as often as necessary,
but a great many men will keep stop
ping for a drink. No soldier must be
denied"
The children promised readily to
meet the requirements. which they did
faithfully.

mother at the close of Memorial day,
''but I told Cherry it didn't make any

very lesson l wanted you and Cherry
to learn" said Mrs. Merritt. with q

How a New Hampshire Lad Resented

Der of Company l. my company. In
some way a companion had been o
ed to call him a coward at Spottsyl-

for Elliott was Il brave boy. He
thrashed the man who called him a
coward, but the insult ranked. On
the march to North Ann river he
brooded over 1t. We led the corps
across the river and advanced on the

At that they rushed into the kitch-

chance at the tumbler always stand
ing by the sink Billy. half giggling,
told his mother how they had both
declared themselves thirsty enough to
drink rainwater.
Mrs. Merritt went on with the cook
les she was making as she said:
"Our poor soldiers during the war
were often so parched with thirst that
they not only would almost have cried
for joy to have clean rainwater, but
during some of their long marches they
gladly lay down and scooped up the
muddy water from puddles in the mid
die of the road"
Honest, mamma?' questioned Billy,
forgetting his thirst.
Eyes, that is really true, Billy. l

many of those things that seem almost
impossible in these quiet days"
"Oh, my goodness sakes alivew said
the soldier girl. who had just drunk
her fill. 81 don't know what l should
do If l couldn't get nice, clean water
when Pm thirsty"
Did the soldiers use to get hungry
when there wasn't anything to eat?"
asked Billy eagerly.
Mrs. Merritt had to smile. Billy's
appetite was a subject for jokes all
through the family.
Soldiers have to learn to put up
with a great deal when in camp or on
the march, Billy, boy, that they would
never think could be endured were
they at home. But, of course, grown
men can endure many things that
would seem dreadful to children like
you and Cherry. But l want you to
remember one thing-our soldiers had
to pass through a great deal that was
hard and extremely uncomfortable,
and they did it to make things firm
and easy for those who were to come
after them. Well, run away to your
H..

A veteran of the civil war was asked

You will die. won't you? Nothing

'.Then you aren't indignant that a
feeling of Indifference should be man

The old soldier said:

there was an occasion for it the

good a record as they made forty
