In parts of the moon there are much
more extensive walled plains with
out central peaks. and with walls rfs-
ing sometimes to a height of nearly
four miles. 1t is an easy matter to
measure the heights of these mountains
by the shadows they cast at the lunar
sunrise. But what strikes one as most
remarkable is that the lunar topog-
raphy is altogether different from
the physical geography of the earth. We
have nothing like the craters and
walled plains OF the moon. In one
place. by the way, can be seen a prec-

sented to the view OF the telescope.
the theory of a population living in the
depths OF the mountains does not seem
so unreasonable.
Craters Are Sears.
Among scientists one OF the most
profound students of the moon is Prof
Grove X. Gilbert, who originated the
theory. now quite generally accepted,
that the sOcalled craters are not real
ly such at all. but scars made by the
impact Of moonlets striking the sur
face OF the lunar orb. The idea Is, in

On the other hand. owialg to the same
cause, the temperature on the lunar

something like $50 degrees Fahrenheit.
How could human beings or other an
imals survive under such conditions?
Prof. Very suggests that people
might perhaps dwell in the depths of
the mountains, in caverns formed by
huge bubbles of volcanic gases-like
the strange inhabitants OF the tabled
Caves of Kor. Whole cities may be
built, indeed, in the hollow of the lunar
mountains. where there is no varia-
tion of temperature from night to day.

The celebrated astronomers Of past

the same old question has been at

as some kind of cloud phenomena.
No permanent markings of any kind

that of most conservative astronomers.
The general idea is that Venus is COW
cred over densely with clouds that at
best we can obtain but fleeing glances
through this permanent atmosphere of
clouds. and that consequently We can
know nothing at all of the actual land
or water surface Of the planet. It is
this sea of clouds which reflects so
much sunlight and makes Venus shine
with her matchless brilliancy.
In opposition to the average astrono-
mer. stand the observers at the obser-

YOUNG
Mothers

NO young woman, IN the 10y OF
coming motherhood, should neglect
to prepare her system for the phys
ical ordeal she is to undergo. The
health of both she and her coming
child depends largely upon the care
she bestows upon herself during the
waiting months. Mothers Friend
prepares the expectant mothers sys-
tenn for the coming event, and its use
makes her comfortable during all the
term. 1t works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all tis-
sues, muscles and tendons, involved,
and keeping the breasts in good con-
dition, brings the woman to the crisis
in splendid physical condition. The
baby too is more apt to be perfect and
strong where the mother has thus
prepared herself for natures supreme

given young expectant mother than
that she use Mothers Friend; It is
medicine that has proven its value in
