Origin of Moon In Doubt.

Many theories of the origin of the moon have been advanced. but all seem to present some difficulties. Our satellite furnishes us many un, solved problems. A belief in the metcOric origin of the moon is now quite general. According to :..;is be. lief the earth was surrounded in the early stages of it's existence by ring of neteoric matter. The material forming the ring gradually gathered into one mass, our present moon. whose pitted face gives evidence of the bonibardment it received from me teoric masses within the ring. Accord ing to this theory our satellite has all ways been dead world, cold and lifeleSs mass of meteoric rock. It has never felt the pulse of life or under. gone the mighty changes that have passed over its ruling planet. It has remained a cold and silent witness to vast evolutionary processes going on upon neighboring world such as It could never experience for it. self.

The women have to stay at home, and with the exception of the milkman. the gro- cery man, the iceman, the old clothes man. a few miscellaneous peddlers and hucksters, and the woman next door, there Is nobody to talk to. That is why wife talks her husbands head off when he comes home at night, Husbands, who through long years of experience, have grown accustomed to this merely answer "hmh-hmh" with out hearing. Sometimes the wife will! catch them unawares and between re- marks will insert a request for S1O to buy new dress with. If the husband from force of habit answers "hmh- hmh," the wife. of course. gets the gown.-Cartoons Magazine.
