A GRACIOUS THING TO DO

THE suggestion that former President

burial of an unknown soldier in Arlington
Cemetery on Armistce Day might with
propriety be acted on by those in charge Of

Wilson and Mr.. Taft. were invited the oc-
Casion would have that completeness that
would be gratifying to hundreds Of thou
sands of citizens, who regard the event as
national tribute to the hcroism of the
American soldiers and IN no sense as par

Prof. William II. Pickering, Of Har-

his announcement of the discovery OF vast
fields of foliage on our satellite.
It is foliage, too, that springs up, comes
to blossom and vanishes in period of,eleven
days.
There are blzzards, he says. that swirl
across portions of it's surface. Volcanic
eruptions are frequent Mist and fog appear
and disappear and clouds sweep across the
face Of the orb of night.
II Is curious fnct that in making this
declaration Prof Pickering Is multiplying his

he expressed the belief that the density Of
the moon atmosphere was not above 1000
and might be 5000 of that Of the earth.

question of the inhabitability Of the moon.
"Thero are certain changes going on and

these changes are is largely q matter Of
speculation" he says.
There is always tendency TO give
sensational turn to new discoveries or to
things that are only partially understood.

I asked DR.. Barton IL he thought science
had reached the end Of the attainable in the
size and power Of the telescope.
when the 100 inch reflector for Mount
Wilson Observatory was completed 1t was
supposed that the limit in size and power
had been reached" he replied.
This has since been demonstrated to be
an error.
II do not think It safe to predict that the
limits Of telescope power and penetration
have been reached. 1t is possible that tele-
scopes having far greater power than any
now in use may yet be constructed.
