Various Ideas as to
Spots on Moons Face

There exist in various parts of the
world curious ideas regarding the
dark spots in the moons disk. In the
eastern part of Asia the spots are
believed to be rabbit or a hare.
The Chinese, in particular, regard
them as a hare sitting up and pound
ing rice in a mortar. Siamese take
the same view Others see in the
moon a man and woman working in
a field.
Curiously, the North American In
dams have almost the same super
stitiOn as the Chinese. On old monu-
ments in Central America the moon
appears as jug or vessel, out of
which an animal like rabbit is jump
ing. South American Indians, on the
other hand, believe that girl, who
had fallen in love with the moon,
sprang toward it, was caught and
kept by it, and that it is her figure
which is seen on the moons face.
Samoa islanders regard the spots as
representing woman carrying a
child. Other Southern peoples have
similar beliefs. the woman and child
sometimes being altered into an old
woman bearing burden on her
back.

Proof That Forests
Have Hygienic Value

We hear much of the Importance of
the conservation of forests from an
economic standpoint, but little is said
of the hygienic value of forests.
Forests contribute to the general
health by breaking the force of stead
lily blowing winds. They mitigate the
heat of summer by the vast amount
of evaporation from their leaves that
occurs by day. They also promote
rainfalls Thus they check the ten
dency of the earth to desiccate, which
is almost as injurious to health as it
is to vegetation.
Cholera often passes a wooded dis
trict and revels in treeless one. A
certain road in India leads for 60
miles through a dense forest. Far
Their on it runs for 90 miles through
barren plain. Hundreds of persons
travel the entire road daily. Now, in
the first or wooded section cases of
cholera seldom occur, while within
the latter it has been of frequent oc-
currence. One year cholera ragged in
Allahabad. Soldiers whose barracks
were on hill suffered the most from
the epidemic; those in barracks sur
rounded by four rows of trees much
less; but not a single case was re-
ported among the soldiers whose bar

Twain No Plagiarist

Mark Twain's famous Jumping
Frog" story caused much discussion.
Twain related the story as having
happened in Calaveras county, Calf,
in 1919. Professor Van Dyke of Prince
ton pointed to the fact that the story
is told in ancient Greek as having
happened 1000 years ago. Clemens
felt that the California story could
not have been based upon the Greek
one, since the man who told the story
as fact was a simple, ignorant fell
low with no contact with literature.
Clemens decided that the similarity
of the two tales should be laid to CO.
incidence.
