THE MOONS ONE FACE
WHY WE NEVER SEE ITS OTHER SIDE
BY Garrett p. Serviss-

and moro slowly untn the tide
: solidified, and thenceforward and
to the present day she has shown
the same face to the earth.
"The earth tide in the moon Is
now solidified so that the moons
equator is not quite circular, and
the longer axis Is directed
towards the earth. Laplace has
considered the action of the earth
on this solidified tide, and has
shown that the moon must rock a
little as she moves round the
earth. In consequence Of this
rocking motion, or libration, Of
the moon, and also of the fact
that her orbit is elliptic, we are
able to see Just little more than
half Of the moons surface.
But Newton. long before Darwin,
and before Laplace, showed that
the tidal action Of the earth would
draw the moons globe out slight
ly in the direction Of the earth,
and that as the moon solidified this
would become a permanent defor-
nation, making the moons diam
elcI III lilob NA VSbhOh
at right angles to 1t.
The sl'ghtness Of the elongation
of the /oon. only 1876 feet in a
diameter of about 2,160 miles, may
appear surprising, especially to
those who have read theories about
a possible lunar atmosphere exist
ing on the side of the moon away
from the earth, owing to a sup
posed displacement of the moons
center of gravity to a point some
thiryt-three miles farther from the
earth than her center OF figure.
According to some OF these the
cries the moon is egg-shaped, with
the small end toward the earth.
But neither mechanical laws nor
observations support such an idea.
Newton's conception is probably
fair representation Of the actual
shape.

n soul whose appetite was
good; he'd often take his
weekly roll and spend It all for
food. For he was fond Of pork
and beans, OF pickles, cheese and
sweets; so all the cash in Billys'
jeans was apt to go for eats.
When he had finished lunch one
day and toddled blithely out, he
found the houses seemed to sway.
the streets whirled round about.
"Alack! Alas!' Bill Batson cried,
his hand upon his head, II fear
there's something wrong inside
and that I'll soon be dead" He
staggered back into his home and
called: Come hither, wife" Said
lady brought a weighty tome, and
quoth: "I'll save your life. This is
a doctors book, my dear, and
soon Wen find herein just why
you look and act so queer and
why you feel like SIM" And then
she read in doleful tones the
symptoms of T. B., while Bill
remarked between his groans.
i've got 1t sure, that's mel" She
read of hookworm and the
mumps, of rabies and the flu,
and Bill sank deeper in the dumps
and sobbed: I've got them, too. )"
Neuritis next the lady took, pneu-
monia, measles, gout, and when
she closed that helpful book poor
Bill seemed passing out. In haste
she called the doctor in: he said:
There's little hope" but gave

or two of dope. Because he was
