Moon Not Round.

That the moon is not round. but
oval, is the conclusion reached by Pro-
fessor Castadilcbo Of Coimbra univer-
sity, Portugal, the report Of whose OBJ
servations during the recent total
eclipse Of the sun was read before the
French Academy of Sciences.
He took cinematograph pictures of
the whole of the eclipse and was re-
warded in finding from the films that
at the time Of the maximum obscura-
ton the moon, while completely blot
ting out the sun at top and bottom.
did not quite cover it on the right and
left.
From this he concludes that the sat
elite, like the earth, is not a sphere.
The difference between the greatest
and least breadth is, however, esti-
mated by him at less than three miles.
