moon, for, owing to changes IN the
plane of the moon and other lateral
movements, one is able to observe
nearly six-tenths of the entire surface.
An eclipse takes place when the sun,
the earth and the moon are in the
same line. If the earth is in the cen
ter it cuts off the light from the moon,
and. as the latter has no atmosphere
the earth can be clearly seen passing
over the illumined face of the moon.
If the moon is nearer the sun its
Opaque body is clearly defined against
the sun. If the moon revolved in the
plane of the earth and the sun there
would be two eclipses each month-at
new moon and full moon. But the
plane of the moon is constantly but
slowly changing up and down. SO that

luton of the earth about the sun at
this constant inclination which pro-
duces the four seasons, spring, sum-
mer. fall and winter.
The earth'S daily revolution from west
to east on it's polar axis produces the
apparent daily passage of the sun
across the heavens and its final setting
in the west; it also produces the ap-
parent nightly passage of the moon,
although some slight part Of that is
the moons own motion with regard to
the earth.
AS the earth moves in its great an
nual path around the sun the moon
goes with it, but it's course is not con-
slant, although it's variances are reg
ular
Considering the annual course of the
earth as the circumference of circle.
that of the moon may be said to nearly
follow it in series of curves, with
shifting centers, always concave to the
sun. The forward movement of the
moon is not at q constant rate, for
sometimes although always remaining
at the same distance from the earth as
if fastened by an invisible bar, 1t Is
behind it, sometimes ahead of it, some
times on the side away from the sun
and sometimes between the earth and
the sun. The plane in which it revolves
is not that of the earth, but very slowly
shifts up and down.
This course may perhaps be made
clearer by assuming that two ships, NJ
and E. are sailing distance of 400
miles: that they start evenly. with NJ
f a miles distance by an invisible in
tangible bar. II the larger ship .lE)
holds straight course for 100 miles,
while the smaller one tM) loses at the
rate of one mile in the same time, at

drawn to a point directly aft of +, and,
of course, one mile distant. If. while

E1HE relations Of the sun, the
moon and the earth-interest-
ing little trifes-came into the
q conversation of some men
prominent in the affairs of Washing
ton, and quite positive differences
arose as to the reasons for the moons
phases. the cause of the tides. the WISH
Dility of the whole of the moons sur
face. the Availability of the moon and
a few other things that seemed very
simple.
One of the men insisted that the wan
ing of the moon was caused by the par
tial iDterposition of the earth between
the moon and the sun, thus cutting off
most of the light from the surface of
the moon; that the illumined rim con-
stitutcd the crescent, and that a slight
change each day increased or iessened
.he illumined portion of the moon, as
II and the sun continued in nearly
parallel motion about the sun.
That said No. .. "is absurd, for
every one knows that the movement
OF the moon is such that IL passes com
pletely around the earth every twenty
four hours, and that il does not run
parallel with the earth. One can see
the full moon rise in the east and pass
across the sky TO the west"
No. maintained that neither was
right. saying that all depended upon
whether the. side of the moon which
gave the light was turned toward the
earth. and that was why the tides AT
Ill moon were highest. The last
statement was disputed, and the dis
cussion became rather warm and un-
satisfactory.
The result was appeal to one Of
their scientific friends for a solution

The Red Lodge Picket, in its COM

the activity of the student body in
affairs in which they should not be
too z~ealously concerned, voices the
sentiment of the Montana press quite
generally. The Picket. in a recent edi-
toris1. has the following to say:
"When a student body gets to mill

A TWO.PARTY

Truer words were never uttered
than those by a prominent progress
sive, now leaving his party, that
"This is a two-party country" The
history of national and state politics
emphasizes this truth.
A party to succeed at the polls
must be united. In 1886 when the
Wings had four candidates for presi-
dent, they were defeated by the demo-
Gratis; but in 1910, when the Wings
were united, they turned the tables
on the democrats.
For many years following 1910 the
liberal, free soil, American, indepen-
dent, temperance and other similar
small parties were successful.

whom were original republicans. made

licans and democrats as to call for a
decision by an electoral commission
AS a rule, since 1876, a third party
nomination has not affected a presi-
Dental vote seriously until the cleo
ton of 1912, when the progressives
split the republican vote. Since then,
however. the progressives have given
up fighting for state officers in most
commonwealth.
The two-party contest is the most
sensible, for it suits the voters. Citi-
zens do not care to indulge in toe
many political theories or expert
ments. Their thoughts usually con.

other, and Independent parties OF

EMOTION AND DISEASE.

DR.. Grille, a distinguished Cleveland
surgeon who has been spending sew
eral months in the French army hos
pitfalls, reports to the New York Aca-
DENY of Medicine that the mere emo
tional strain Of war is found to be
responsible not merely for nervous
disorders, but for great numbers of
cases of neurasthenia, Bright's dis
ease and diabetes.
It is something new to be told cate
g~orically that disagreeable emotions
may cause organic disease. The New
Thought teachers, not to mention
Christian Scientists, have been teach
ing this very thing for years, but
the medical profession has heretofore
given little sanction to the doctrine.
The general public has long had
more or less definitely this same no.
ton that a patients feelings have a
great deal to do with his health. And,
as a matter Of fact, the doctors have,
too, even when they repudiated the
idea.
The wise and successful practi-
toner has usually been a man who
studied his patients psychology as
well as their physique and saw to it
that conditions causing mental unrest
We're removed as far as possible. They
have practised too, in their own per-
sons, the "mental healing" that they
have felt obliged to ~repudiate pro-
fe%ssionally. If the frank admissions
of some of them are to be trusted,
they have worked far more cures by
dispensing cheerfulness and conf
dence than by administering drugs O.
prescribing dietetic rules.
From Dr.. Crile's assertion tina
mental states cause serious ailments
it seems to be only a step to the con.
clusion that opposing mental states
may cure them. At least the infer.
ence is unavoidable that pleasant emo.
tons are just as wholesome in thei,
physical effects as horrible emotions
