Right down the aisle between the brilliant stalls,

 WHILE IN EAST
Tells New Workers Abou Opportunities for Business
 Men and Tourists.

! That National Committeeman J. C time to politics during his visit ;l the East is conclusively proven b, an interview with him appearing ii the Pennsylvania Register mini ature four page daily newspaper pub lished by the Pennsylvania Hote ! In New York City, where Mir Mcbride was a guest dGrins his stay in the "big town.
 In this interview. Mr. M' Bride failed to mention politics {; single time and devoted himself tt telling about Alaska and it's appea to investors, settlers and globe trotters"
 He is quoted as follows:
 ''lnstead of going abroad for the summer, American tourists should visit Alaska" said MT J. c. Mcbride Republican National Committeeman for Alaska. who is a guest of the Hotel Pennsylvania
 Southeastern and Western Alaska has the most wonderful climate in the world. Tn summer it hardly varies ten degrees, ranging from six ty to seventy degrees, and in winter it is seldom colder than twenty de grees above. People have an idea that Alaska is a land of snow and ice. This is quite, erroneous, for while We have no real farmlands in the summertime the foliage and grass are as green as they are in the States.
 Alaska is sparsely settled, with only about fifty thousand people and our largest towns are not much over three thousand. It has won- derful natural resources which are as yet undeveloped. Recently the oil lands reservations were discover ed and they will be a great source of revenue and wealth to the coun- try Oil with a paraffin base can be found in great quantities along the coast and already refineries are springing into existence. In Alaska, too. there are vast forests, the pulp industry affords great opportunity for the investment of American cap ital and We hope that it will soon rival that of other portions of the Northwest. Of course, we have the largest salmon industry in the world.
 But Alaska is above all things a sportsman's country It affords excellent fishing salmon, halibut and herring are to be caught in abund- ance. Game, too, is plentiful, and in this sportsman's paradise your true hunter finds prolific supply of deer, moose, caribou and reindeer.
 'I would recommend to globe-trot- ting Americans that they try a sum- mer in Alaska sf There lies before them the time of their lives"

NuN., since the moon turns around
 the ,mth, at the same time being sus- ccpubln to the influence of the sun, o,.. ,au readily conceive that every change in the distance of our globe from the sun would have it's effect upon the position ot the moon. In other words. according to whether We arr nearer or farther from the sun our attraction on the moon increases or decreases, and consequently, the moon must increase or diminish it's speed of movement
 Nt present, and since a long time, the moon has been increasing it's average speed The increase, how ever is insignificant, for in one hun. drcd years the moon has hardly ad- yauced in its trajectory more than ten miles.
 All this we must admit. isaTA$O9 cal and by no means absolutely exact. When we have greatly improved our tables on the moon and it's various positions, We shall still be incapable of predicting for a long time in ad- vance what place the moon will occu- py in the heavens. The errors will be very small, but they exist. and the proof l> the fact that at each eclipse of the sun We notice some small error or some seconds in the time calculated and the time actually observed.

ABBE MOREUX NOT CONCERNED
 ABOUT ECLIPSE

PARIS, Dee 15. A recent state ment by the English astronomer Crommeln seems to have caused con siderable emotion in the public mind. The last eclipse of the moon. he be. lieyes, proves some of our charges false. Our satellite, he says. IS dis obeyiug the universal laws ot grayata- tion, and if the phenomenon continues We shall be condemned some day to have the moon fall on our heads.
 The fears inspired by such pro nuunccment have caused many of my friends to write and demand my views.
 In the first. place | must reassure them The problem is not new, be. cause it was raised very clearly by Halloy ttho discovercr of Halley's comeU in 1893 At that time astron- omy showed that the moon possessed a movement quite different from that of other celestial bodies in the sense that its movement was not uniform but accelerated That was learned by examining ancient eclipses. In 200O years the moon seemed to have ad- vanCed in space by about two times it's diameter. that is to say. that it was far from occupying the position as signed to it by the law formulated by Newton
 LAWS OF MECHANICS
 At first it seemed simple enough that the acceleration would continue and that one day the moon really would fall upon the earth But such q problem tempted the genius of Lap lace and that skilled mathematician proved in l7S7 that the phenomenon explained itself easily by the laws of celestial mechanics
 We know that the earth describes around the sun in the course of a year. not q circle, but an eclipse. Lap lace demonstrated that this eclipse does not always have the same form We can compare it td a hoop upon which one exercises a lateral pressure and which. in consequence, is flat tened a little
 At present this eclipse becomes year by year more circular and in 24OOO years it will he nearly circular. After this it will tend to become eliptical again for more than 10000 years
