Eskimo lamna.

It is believed that the Eskimo lamp
was invented before its possessors EN-
igrated from their original home,
which was probably farther south and
near the seacoast: But the form of the
lamp becomes more specialized the
higher the latitude is. The lamps of
southern Alaska have wick edge of
two inches, while those Of Point Bar
row and northern Greenland have wick
edges Of seventeen to thirty-six inches
The lamp is employed for melting snow
and Ice to obtain drinking water, for
cooking, lighting, warming, drying
skins and in the arts 1t is also So
cial factor and the sign of the family
unit, each head Of the family having
his lamp.

Travels Of the Moon.

STAV0sO OF xn0 MOON.
The moon travels around the earth
IN path which Is very nearly but not
quite circle. 1t moves once around
the earth in abou: twenty-seven days
and third. AS the moon goes around
the earth It keeps the same side to
ward us. We have never seen and
never can see more than the same one
half of the moons surface or just
tr1de more than half. The reason Is
that the moon is slowly spinning upon
Itself as it moves around the earth
and 1t makes one complete spin on its
axis In just the same time as 1t takes
TO 60 once around the earth. In other
words, the moons twenty-four hour
day is a month long.-New York Times
