Lady Turner'S picnic At Long View park
The Washington times., 1922-02-12

Let us consider for moment conditions
on our own planet. There is no place on
the earth's surface where the amount OF
heat received from the sun is not more
than sufficient to melt whatever ice and
snow falls upon 1t. Yet we know that the
Hottest peaks of the Himalayas and Andes
are covered with snow that never melts.
1t may evaporate or change into boar
frost directly, but it will not first melt
On our Hottest mountains conditions
somewhat approach the conditions that
exist on the moons surface. The air Is
extremely rare and dry" that is, 1t is
lacking in water vapor and carbon
dioxide, the two substances in the. earth's
atmosphere that give It its heat-retaining
power and make our planet inhabitable and
which are to be found in considerable guam.
titles only at low attitudes. If these two
substances were absent from our atmos-
phere the heat received from the sun would
be radiated so rapidly back to space that
it would not serve to warm us, and life
would be impossible.

Nader. At the present time ii is small
crater less than mile in diameter. and ii
is by no means an easy object to observe.
A conspicuous feature of the lunar sur
face is the network Of rills, or clefts, that
are visible in all parts Of the surface.
though they are met with less frequently
on the mar, or seas, than elsewhert.
There is nothing on the rurface Of our own
planet that corresponds in any way to
these lunar rills. They range from few
hundred yards to a mile or two in width
and from ten to several hundred miles in
length. Their depth is uncertain, but u
estimated to be less than thousand fee'
They extend, in some instances, in nearly
straight lines for many miles, passing IN

as crater walls and ridges, though they fire.
quently end in a small mound. The in.
terror Of craters are often intersected by
them and they constantly appear near the
border of mountain ranges and crater rims.
They have been compared to inverted
river beds because they usually become
broader and deeper as they approach
higher attitudes They have in some in
stances a decidedly artificial appearance,
though it is generally believed that they
are simply huge cracks in the brittle sur
face of the moon, produced possibly by
terrific "moonquakes" or'violent internal
disturbances.
Here, too, we find evidence that changes
have taken place. New clefts have ay-
peared Old clefts have temporarily dis
appeared or been temporarily obliterated
by haze. More than a thousand clefts have
been mapped and new ones are constantly
being added as the lunar surface is scanned
with telescopes of increasingly greater
power. More than forty delicate rills have
been seen in a single lunar crater. So to
find evidence of change among such intii
cate systems of delicate markings that are
seen with difficulty at best is no easy
matter, and to convince others that change
has taken place in them is still more diff.
cult.
There is abundant evidence, however,
that changes have frequently taken place
in the visibility of the coarser rill systems
Rills that are at times easy objects with
telescopes of small size are searched for
in vain at other times according to reliable
observers, although the condition under
which the observations have been made
were in ell respects the same. It is sus.
pected that here, too, a low-lying gaseous
medium hovers over the lunar surface, fill

Plato caused h to be called Lacus Niger
Major, The Greater Back Lake." by the
astronomers OF the seventeenth century,
and one OF the most indisputable signs that
periodic change does occur on the moon is
the mysterious increase in darkness OF the
floor OF Plato with the advance of the
lunar day.
No satisfactory explanation OF this
change has ever been given. Professor
chickering's most recent observations show
a progressive darkening OF the floors OF
certain craters; for example, Of Eratos
themes, a crater about forty miles in ii
ameter at the termination of the lunar
mountain range called the Apennines.
Professor Pickering takes this to be due 10
a rapid vegetationa1 growth during the
lunar day of two weeks duration.
The possibility of life on the moon is
attributed by those who believe in 1t to
the existence of a certain low-lying gaseous
medium close to the surface, permeating
its crack and crevices and crater pits In
sufficient quantities to permit the develop
ment OF the life process, which does not
necessarily imply the existence of human
life as we are all to prone to believe, but
simply the development OF certain organ.

Of us. They are, in contrast to the ele

The better telescopes Of modern times

void Of air and water, dead world, as
we have been taught for so many years,
or do the observations Of Professor w. Fl.
Pickering, who has made longcontinued
and systematic study of lunar markings
under particularly favorable observing con.
ditions at Arequipa, Peru, and in Jamaica,
and the observations Of many other astron-
omers, in the past as well as to-day, indi-
our satellite?
There is no doubt that water in the form
Of lakes, rivers or oceans cannot exist on
the moon owing to its excessively rare at.
mosphere. No banks of clouds drift over
areas Of many square miles and tempo

view as in the case with our own planet
II extensive sheets Of water existed on the
surface Of the moon or clouds temporarily

The possibility that snow and ice may
exist on the moon has long been recog

surface may not be clothed in a permanent
mantle Of white. The dazzling radiance OF
some parts Of it, particularly in the south
west quadrant, which is the highest and
most rugged portion of the lunar surface,
suggests the presence Of snow and ice.
Now we know that the lunan day equals
the period of the moons revolution around
the earth, and 1t is for that reason equal
in length to twenty-eight and half Of our
own days. For more than fourteen days
the sun beats down with merciless inten-
sity upon a surface unprotected by the
presence of a blanketing atmosphere. II
has been estimated that at the lunar mid.
day the temperature approaches close TO
the boiling point OF water while during the
lunar night OF over fourteen days length
the temperature falls nearly to the abso'
lutte zero Of space, several hundred degrees
below zero of the Fahrenheit scale.
How is 1t, then, that fee and snow on the
moon would be able to withstand the in

surface to q temperature Of nearly 212 de.

The Moons
Ice Unmelted.

The surrounding air on our loftiest noun
tains contains such small quantities OF
these notwithstanding substances that the
heat received from the sun is not stored
up to an extent that will raise the fee and
snow to the melting point, and though the
rays of the sun fall on such surfaces for
countless ages with great intensity the
snow remains unmelted. Such are the con-
ditions on the surface Of the moon, only
the atmosphere is much rarer there than
1t is on our mountain peaks, and so the sur.
rounding space is still colder and condi-
tions even more unfavorable for the forma-
ton OF water
Some astronomers have expressed the
belief that far beneath the snow melting
may take place as a result OF the internal
heat of the moon, but this Is improbable.
for however hot the interior may be the
surface as whole will be kept at the TEN.
perature of surrounding space or, II the
body possesses an atmosphere, at the TEN.

II is, therefore, very improbable that water
exists extensively beneath lunar mantle

1t is very unlikely that all of the lunar

ing certain of these cracks or crevices with
the vapors from active volcanic vents,
which in time clear away more or less,
leaving the clefts beneath more clearly ex.
posed to view.
If, then, forms of life are existent on the
moon they are to be found only In the
vicinity of active vents and fumaroles or
in deep depressions Of the surface, the low
lying seas" the floors of craters or the
interiors of clefts and rills. where the gases
and vapors arising from the surface would
tend to collect. The most authentic in
stances Of change are found on the low.
lying seas in rill systems and crater cones
and on the floors OF craters, and not on the
lofty plateaus or mountain ridges or the
lofty walls of craters covered, we suspect,
with permanent mantle of snow and ice.
Here no signs of change have been dis
covered.

own atmosphere-water vapor and carbon
dioxide-are to be found only within
limit Of a very few miles Of the surface
Above an elevation Of three or four miles
the human race cannot exist for any length
of time In safety.
Close to the surface and in the cracks
and crevices Of the moon II is conceivable
that there may exist a gaseous medium to
which the life process might adapt itself.
There appears now to be abundant evil
dence of the existence of numberless crater
cones on the moon, minute objects similar
to active volcanic vents or fumaroles on
our own planet that are in constant erup-
ton. The existence OF such vents on the
moon implies the existence of heat in the
interior similar to terrestrial heat and of
elected steam and vapors OF many gases.

streaks and spots that are always associ-
ated with these minute markings. The
steam would rapidly be transformed to
clouds of boar frost and at the time OF
eruption would temporarily obliterate these
small markings.
Haze Hampers
Observation.
Records of observations show the gath.
ering of haze around such markings, the
temporary disappearance of many crate;
cones and changes in their form and extent
from time to time. Since the crater cones
are at best the most difficult to observe of
all lunar markings, and since all lunar
markings vary greatly with the phases OF
the moon and observing conditions on the
earth, 1t is easy to dispute the actually Of
these changes or attribute them to changes
in illumination or lunar phases. It is in
this way that the evidences of change ad.
vanced by humber of photographers Of
the past century have been explained away.
In the Mare Serenitatis, one OF the lunar
seas" there is a small object known as
Lime which has been the subject of much
controversy in the past owing to the faci
that many observers maintained that II
changed greatly in appearance within the
last century. Probably no object on the
lunar surface has been more carefully ey.
amined with the possible exception of the
floor of the crater Plato, which is covered
with numerous cratercones and light spots
that Enthusiastically show signs of change
Lime was described by the seleno-
grapher Nader in the earlier part of the
nineteenth century as a deep crater six
miles in diameter very conspicuous under
a low sun. This did not fit the description

Should Study
Noon More.

Most astronomers devote comparatively
little time to systematic study of lunar
markings. 1t is so generally believed that
the moon is a dead world whose evolution
is practically finished, that It is hardly
considered worth while to search here for
new discoveries. Yet there is no body In
the heavens concerning which We know
less in some respects or that furnishes q
more fertile field for discovery.
The cause of the formation of the mys-
FERROUS lunar craters is not definitely
known; the cause Of the peculiar radiating
streaks from Tycho has never been salts.
factorily explained; the nature of the
clefts and rills is in doubt. 1t cannot be
definitely proven whether. or not change
has taken place in minute lunar markings
owing to the absence of accurate photo
graphic records of lunar markings taken
with powerful telescopes, since it has not
been considered worth while to make a
systematic record OF the markings OF
dead" world. 1t is easier to prove from
Photographic records that change Is taking
place IN a spiral nebula at the other end
of the universe than to disprove the evil
dence that the pulse OF life stirs within
our own satellite only a celestial stones
