motor is based upon the principle

and moon, the velocity of the projectile
would have to gradually decrease. This
could be effected by means of second
motor attached to the fore part Of the
projectile.
We thus achieve two things by means
of the reaction motor-slow departure
and slow landing" And as regards
the remaining two problems, viz, the
overcoming Of the tremendous heating
of the projectile through friction, and
that Of the terrible cold in space. these
in M. Nordmann's opinion, are no
longer problems for our modern physi-
cists.
There is but one thing essential In
the reaction motor: the astral vehicle
has to carry with 1t the food for the
motor. A calculation goes TO show
that there is no explosive known strong
enough to raise itself beyond the line
Of the earth's attraction. 1t remains,
therefore, to find an explosive four
hundred times stronger than nitro
glycerlne? Who will find It?
Professor Nordmann asserts that
radium contains five thousand times
more force than is required for
the purpose OF overcoming the earth's
attraction. We must, therefore, dis
cover a means OF controlling this ele-
ment to such an extent as to enable us
to extract from it any part Of its force
that may be necessary FOR the purpose
Of carrying us through the trifiing dis
lance OF $4,000 miles that separate us
from our satellite.
Some Alfred Noble, Maxim, Berthe
let or Edison will surely find such a
means in the nearest future.
Then IL will take only ten-hour trip
to escape Few York's summer heat
and enjoy in the Lunar Alpines a
temperature which can. at the hottest
never rise above the freezing point OF

something like 200 degrees below zero.

WV ANT to take trip to the moon
w Nothing easier. Take an "etro
car" or an astral autobus' OF
the New York Moon line, which leaves
daily the Sphere Station" at ConeS
Island at 10 a. M, and the same day
at s p. m. terrestrial time), you arrive
al your destination. Fare, one way

tickets, good for a fortnight, only
SIT 25.
Needless to say, we do not speak vi
the New York Of to-day. But after
reading an article by Charles Nord-
mann. tn. astronomer Of the Paris 90
servatory, in lie Matin," on a journey
TO the moon, trip to the moon be-
comes a matter of anticipation. For
the professor in the very introduction
TO his article assures us that sit is not
so difficult as one might imagine, to go
to the moon. A few more little sclen-
tifc formalities and we are
there"
Already Jules yerne, the famous
French novelist, has told rs how the
feat of traversing the immense dis
lance between the earth and the moon
could be accomplished in ninety-seven
hours and twenty minutes. His vehicle
however, is not an autobus properly
called, but a giant projectile shot OF
from a giant cannon. The problem nc
is trying to solve, and apparently does
solve, is how to overcome the attrac-
ton Of the earth.
The earth exerts its attraction, and
so does the moon. There is line al
which the two attractive forces meet
Now IL we only. were to succeed IN
crossing this line then we would ar
rive at the breast of the pale sister
of Mother Earth" And this Is ac-
complished without any effort on our
part. All we have TO guard against is
not TO arrive too violently at the
breast OF the "pale sister" and be
