MOON DOESN'T TURN
ON ITS AXIS SAYS AN INTERESTED READER
BY Garrett p. Serviss-

that in this case the moon does
not rotate or revolve on Its axis
but that, nevertheless, as IL goes
around the earth, all sides OF II
are in turn presented toward the
earth. This is precisely what does
not occur with the actual moon,
as everybody, even Anonymous,
knows; consequently, the visibility
to the earth OF both sides. or sn
sides, Of the moon, instead Of dem
onstrating a rotation Of the moon
would demonstrate its nonrotation.
Now, since we do in reality see
but one side Of the moon, how are
we going to show that that fact is
due to It's revolution on It's axis?
Simply make another diagram like
the first in all respects except that
YOU place the dot. representing
fixed spot on the surface OF the
moon. always on the side facing
the earth. That insures that the
same side of the moon shall SON.
tinually be turned toward the
earth. But again. you need only
to glance at the diagram in order
to see that. in this case. the DOT
on the moon does not, as It did te-
fore, retain always the same posi-
ton with reference to the fixed
direction In space, for at first the
dot is on the right of the line,
then It is on the line above the
moons center, next II Is to the left
of the line, and fourth 1t is on the
line below the moons center. 80,
the moon is rotating in space and
making one turn on ITS axis In 60
Strangely enough, a few years
ago a man widely known for his
achievements in a certain branch
Of science was reported to have
"mathematically demonstrated
that the moon does not revolve on
its axis, or rotate. His error seems
to have been widely disseminated
and was calculated to encourage
such mistakes as that Of Anony-
nous. It was based on the os-
sumption that the moon may be ie-
garded as II II were attached to a
rigid beam extending from the
earth and carrying the moon with
Il around the earth. have, In a
preceding article, shown how this
assumption is inadmissible.
Lest anyone should suppose that
I am maintaining in this matter a
debatable theory. or a view pecu.
liar to myself, concerning the
moons rotation, I remark that all
astronomical authorities. without
exception, take the same view.

Lovel0rn Advice

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

- My cousin, a girl of twenty
seven, has been acquainted
with a very fine man few
wears her senior, and sees him
every evening. On account OF
their different nationalities Il
was agreed between them to be
friends and nothing else.
I would like your opinion ex-
pressed in your column, wheth-
er she does the right thing by
having this man so often In
her room alone (she does not
live, in her fathers home) and
hk he a right to want to see
her all of her spare time from
business, without giving her q
chance to mingie with her own 3

grown and the man for whom she
cares is also Of mature mind and
presumably of sane Judgment.
the artificial barrier OF nationality
they, have tried to raise probably
won't stand. II they care for
each other and find each other
congenial, their friendship will be
likely to ripen to love and to de.
mand marriage as its normal ex.
preston. But II they actually re-
gard a difference in nationality as
a block to love and marriage,
they are actin & most unwisely. In

Eminent Astronomer and Authority
ON Subjects of Scientific Interest.
A N anonymous letter writer In
Chicago, with an elegant
Z y sense Of humor, sends this
in fancied refutation OF a state
ment Of mine:
The moon does not revolve on
it's axis. II IL does, why do we
never see more than one side?
Amt science wonderful
It is unfortunate for Anonymous
that he wrote the question which
he has put between his error and
his gibe. II makes Il worth while
to use him as an example for
others. Evidently that question
was regarded by its author as an
unanswerable poser, the mere
statement Of which proved his
case.
But IL he had thought II through
he could hardly have failed to
see that. as far al II goes, In proves
just the opposite case. II il very
easy to work II out graphically on
a pad Of paper. First draw in the
center a circle, say half an Inch In
NAohOtNis " CoCht NhC CaEtus
Then at a distance Of a couple
OF inches, draw four quarter.inch
circles to represent the moon,
another to the left, a third above
thus showing the moon at four
equidistant points on its orbit
around the earth.
Assnx
lines parallel to one another, one
running through the centers Of the
upper and lower moon circles, and
also through the center Of the
earth, between them, and the other
two through the centers Of the left
and right moon circles.
These parallel tines represent a.
fixed direction in space by refer
ence to which rotation or non
rotation Is determined. Finally
make q little cross or O dot, repre-
senting a fixed point on the moon.
Suppose you begin with the left
hand figure and place the dot on
the edge Of the moon facing the
earth. Then put a similar dot on
the other three figures. each in
the same relative position to the
vertical line and the center Of the
moon.
Now, beginning at the left, go
round the circle Of dots. The one
on the left lies toward the earth
from the moons center; the one
below Hes at right angles to the
direction OF the earth; the one on
the right lies on the side away
from the earth while the one
above, like Its mate below, Is situ.
ated in a direction at right angles
TO that Of the earth. ''""..
