THE SHAPE OF THE MOON

The question, why does the moon, as observed from the earth constantly vary in size and shape? Recurs at ire quent intervals and the daily papers persistently answer it incorrectly. jus as did the London paper which we told about few weeks ago. A Los Angeles daily sagely informs an inquirer that the months changes in appearance are due to the earth's shadow being thrown upon it as the earth passes be- tween the sun and the moon"
 Let us all get the fact fixed in our minds that the apparent changes in size and form of the moon result from differences in it's position relative to the earth that is, that the protion of it's surface illuminated by the sun, visible to us, varies from night to night because the moon revolves about our planet and travels with the latter about the sun.-The Pathfinder.
