Inc harvest moon.
| Harvest moon, which rises today at 4:0l p.
m. Is the name given In high northern attitudes
to the full moon Of the lunation which occurs
about the time Of the autumnal equinox. The
circumstance which has made It noticeable and
given It its name Is that during this lunation the
rising Of the moon for several successive days
before and after the full takes place nearly at
| the same hour, thus favoring the work of the
farmer during harvest, whereas, taking the year
through. the rising is retarded on an average
about fifty minutes per diem. The cause Of this
phenomenon Is to be found in the inclination Of
the earth's orbit or the ecliptic to the equator.
| The moons apparent daily motion Tin rising and
setting) parallel to the equator but Its progress
sive motion IN its own orbit 10 nearly coincident
only about degrees between these two paths
