Commenting on the fact that the
moon will not be full at any time dur
ing the present month, Professor Har-
old jacob says that full moons fellow
one another at intervals of approx
mately twenty and a half days.
The intervals are irregular, because
the calender is based on the solar in
stead of the lunar system. The last
time a month past without full
moon lin America. at least-was in
l847. In 1885 Europe had no full moon
during February, but the full moon
was visible before midnight on the
last day of the month in this country
because of five hours difference in
time. February, because it contains
few days, is the only month that is
ever sighted by having no full moon.
There were two full moons last month,
and their will be two next month.
After that each month will have one
full moon for some years.

Idea Truly Religious.

The Go-to- Church Sunday idea is a
religious revival movement against
which no reasonable person will COM
plain. The Reverend Doctor Forwards
proposition that it is a privilege to go
to church, is calculated to support the
dignity Of the ministry of all denomi-
nations. Objection to the ultra-sensa-
tionalism by the type of revivalists
who use low slang and resort to clap
trap of various kinds and hurl intern
perate invective at individuals and COM
munities in the effort to secure atten-
ton, frequently comes from those who
are not less eager than the most des-
perately dynamic of the professional
evangelists whose test of Christian
sincerely seems to be ability to throw
fits There are thousands who are re-
volted by hysterical excitement and
convinced that rag-time in religion is
serious mistake. - Elk.
