MOONS INFLUENCE NIL.
Earth Not Greatly ARected by Queen
of the Night.


1t is the firm conviction of many
people that the moon has a great va
riety of Influences on the earth. 1t
is supposed to affect the weather to a
profound degree. 1t is also supposed
to influence directly the growth of
crops in that the probability of a good
crop is increased greatly if planted at
the time of a certain phase of the
moon, such as new, full or quarter.
These and many other beliefs control
the actions of many.
The proof of a pudding is the eat
ing. Let US therefore see what We
find in regard to one of these beliefs
namely, the influence on the weather
of the crescent moon are turned up
the moon holds water and the wealth.
er will be dry, while if the horns are
turned down, the weather will be wet.
Now it happens that when the new
moon is seen in the west the horns of
the crescent are turned up, While if
seen in the east, only six or eight
hours earlier, these horns are turned
down. 1t would be rather difficult to
have wet weather in the morning and
dry weather in the evening continuous
" from new moon to first quarter
throughout the year. Then, again,
in the morning with its horns turned
down six or eight hours later, when
the moon gets into the western sky.
We should then have to have dry
weather in the morning and wet
weather in the evening for nearly
week-just the reverse of conditions
two weeks previous. Now, since every
one knows that such conditions do
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1912-03-04

not really occur, we must assume that
the belief is not very well founded.
A careful examination of the wealth
er records for a long series of years
has shown that so far as could be de-
termined the moons influence on the
weather is negligible. In the same
way the examination of other records,
when a long term of yearS-Say one
hundred or more-waS considered,
has failed to establish any connection
between the moon and crops. etc.
For time 1t was supposed that the
position of the moon with respect to
the earth and sun had an influence
on the frequency of earthquakes. But
in this case. as in m OSt others, an in
crease in the time for which reliable
data were available showed that the
supposed connection was wholly acct
dental. 1t is, of course, not safe to
say that there is absolutely no connec-
ton of this sort with earthquake fire.
quencY, weather, crops, ETC., but we
do know that no influence of any kind
has as yet been certainly detected.
There are, however, two ways in
which the moon has been found to af-
feet the earth. The first of these is
by means of its attraction. This mani
tests itself in the great tides of our
oceans, the greater part of which are
due to the moon. 1t also affects the
motion of the earth around the sun,
and owing to the equatorial bulge of
the earth the earth's equator is caus-
ed to shift its position with respect to
its orbit about the sun. The second
influence is a magnetic one. 1t is
found that the earth'S magnetism var
les slightly with the distance of the
M DON from the earth. These are both
only certain effects of the moon on
our globe. They may in turn induce
others. but no connection has as yet
been Observation-Disclosures E. A.

How Sea Birds Get Fresh Water

"When I was a cabin boy" said an elderly sailor, II often used to wonder, seeing birds thousands of miles out 10 sea, what they did for fresh water when they were thirsty. One day a squall answered that question for me. II was a hot and glittering day in the tropics, and in the clear sky overhead black rain-eloud appeared all Of a sudden. Then out of an empty space over a hundred sea birds came darting from every direction. They got under the rain-cloud, and waited there for about ten minutes, circling round and round, and when the rain began to fall they drank their fill. In the tropics, where the great sen-birds sail thous- ands of miles away from shore, they get their drinking water in that way. They smell out a storm long way of they travel hundred miles maybe, to get under it, and they swallow enough rain drops to keep them going

MILK DISHES.

Often times milk is the only food which an invalid and child can take, and when they tire of it the great question is how can they be nour- ished?
 There are so many ways of disguis- ing milk in other forms and combin- ing with different foods to make wholesome and nutritious dishes, that every one who has family to feed should make a study of these things.
 Milk that an infant cannot digest is worse than food. A baby should be carefully weighed each week, for 1t Is not always possible to detect a slight falling of. When the child shows a decrease In weight the first thing to do is to consult a good phy- sician. and carefully follow his direc- tions in regard to feeding. The milk may be too rich in fat, there may be too much casein. or 1t may be too hard to digest. so that the milk may have to be modified.
 One method of modifying milk is to use the whey, which is made from using IeuUlH IdDletS- auu lAis Nhrs bo the milk and the casein content is de- creased with an addition of salts, sugar of milk and minerals, which are necessary for the growth of the child.
 Many babies die each year because of ignorance on the part of the moth- CT in regard to their food
 Milk treated with rennin tablets, sweetened and favored, is often rel ished by invalids who absolutely re- fuse to take pure milk as food.
 Milk is not a beverage, and should never be taken as such. for large quantities of milk entering the stom- ach at once form a hard mass which is almost impossible to break up Milk should be taken slowly in sips, so that the gastric juice curdles 1t in small amounts at a time.

Would the father accept an opinion of medical court, and would his sons tiance in her maidenly modesty be willing to place herself in the hands of practitioner of admitted high at tainmets and accept his findings?
 Neither hesitated moment at this.
 The father thought it would settle the question. The girl, said the court, had only to designate the physician and he to fix the hour and she would be ready.
 Through courtesy to the father the court left the selection Of the physician to his lawyer, and Dr. N. w Mckib. ben, popular member of the medical society, with long and honorable re- cord, was chosen, and at time and under conditions convenient to the pride the suggestions made in court were carried out.
 Thus the first new idea bride became part of the records.
 The physicians report on the case not being immediately forthcoming young Cartier and Miss Renault went to Putnam, where the magistrates tie marriage knots as easily as sailor loops a bowline. Then back by the afternoon train as planned, and none, unless it was girl friend of the bride, q whit wiser.
 That afternoon young Cartier, now more or less indifferent but still want ing 10 know just how the land lay, rang up Lawyer Morrell on the tele- phone.
 "ls their any news-yet?" he ask ed pretending by hesitation to be anxious and in doubt.
 "Yes, replied the lawyer, "news and good news. It's all right. Con- gratulations. When is the happy event?u
 "E-er. l guess maybe on Sunday. Thanks, awfully."
 The church marriage followed.
