THE WILSON CABINET.

Cabinet gossip varies little from the rule about
Presidential elections, which is that most OF the
guesses Of November miss the mark. Gentlemen
prominent in the party management during the cam
pagn are often made conspicuous by their absence
from the list of appointments sent to the Senate by
the new President Genius for government was dis
covered in unsuspeced sources by Grover Cleveland,
and Mr.. Wilson may make similar finds.

SOOTHING WORDS.

President-elect Wilson's first word, through un-
official channels has ring of cheerful reinsurance
that carries no earthquakes with it. He says:
There is absolutely nothing for the honest and en-
lightened business of the country to fear
No man whose business is conducted without viola
tion Of the right of free competition and without such
private understandings and alliances violate
the principle of law and the policy of all wholesome
commerce and enterprise need fear either interference

climate Of the moon is too uncertain

This was the remark of Prof. F. R.

tronomy at the University Of Chicago,
in an address at the Chicago Hebrew
institute.
Nothing lives on the MOON he
said. ANY animal would be frozen to
death In one hour and scorched to
death in another. A day on the moon
is twenty.eight and one-half Of our
normal days.
1T Is believed by superstitious peo-
pie that the moon has an effect upon
the weather, the seasons and the
crops. The earth is virtually indie
pendent Of the moon. The satellite
furnishes light at night. but no heat
worth mentioning. and has nothing to
do with storms and changes OF tenn
