Vegetation

THE great majority of astror
- mers agree that the moon
utterly lifeless. All evidence poin
clearly to the fact that the moo
has no atmosphere.
There is also evidence that Mt
water exists upon the moon. A few
writer's have suggested occasionally
that there might be some water in
the cracks on the moons surface.
Professor Russell, however, points
out that such water would evaporatel
and since the moon has no atmosv
phere, disappear into space forever.
A few Of those who think they
discern changes in the surfaces of
the moon have suggested that these
changes might be due to vegetation.
Vegetation would, of course, necessi-
tate the presence of water and SO it
is unlikely that these changes, if
they do exist, are vegetation.
The problem Of lunar changes is
so difficult to settle because the
mountain peaks and valleys of the
moon are subjected to continuous
changes in illumination. AS the
moon revolves around the earth and
the earth goes around the sun, the
angle at which sunlight falls on va
riouS lunar features is always I'M
dergoing change, making obserya-
lions very difficult.
ITO insure certainty in such deli
cate observations, comparisons must
be made between the appearance of
the object in question, as seen at
precisely the same phase of the
moon, with telescopes and eyes, too,
OF equal power, and under substan-
TALLY the same conditions in other
respects, such as the height OF the
moon above the horizon anc the
clearness and steadiness of the air.
1T is, Of course, very difficult to
secure such identity of conditions"

Fight Own Battles

NNLY those familiar with noun

difficulties.
Regardless of organized activ-
tiles, the question in dispute, or
what might be done in a general
way to remedy the situation, these
people have the habit of putting
their quarrels on a personal basis.
Clannish as they may be from the
standpoint Of loyalty, they usually
fight as individuals.
1t is a ten to one bet that those
who did the shooting are known
and that some of them, at least, will
get dose of their own medicine.
That is not the kind of justice one
would like to see administered in
such a case, but it is the kind noun
tain folk have known and practiced
for ten generations.

The fact that they did not succeed
speaks volumes, not only regarding
the character of the outbreak, but
its cauSeS.

ment at the outset, it does not ap-
pear that any great number of the

Vigilance Was Lacking

1T seems incredible that such an
Il an outbreak could have occurr\l
if the prison authorities had exer-
cised proper degree of vigilance.
After the guards were captured,
it was easy enough for the con-
victs to avail themselves of an ade-
quate supply of ammunition.
But what about the guns with
which they opened proceedings-the
revolvers and at least one rifle
cached in cell?
Such aspects of the case are
hardly intellectual enough to satisfy
those who see a chance for reform
in every cloud on the horizon. But
they will appeal to men in the street
as OF importance.
These convicts, Of course, wanted
to escape.
A convict would hardly be normal
if he did not.
Such desire on the part of con-
victS should be taken for granted,
and if allowed to incubate it should
be recognized as the source of prob
able violence, destruction, and death.
Neither does it make very much
difference how much or how good
the food may be, or how entertain
ing the recreational facilities, or how
easy the work.
Conf1ne man, whether justly or
not. and you rouse his antagonisrn,
challenge his instinct, and provoke

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ-
One of the Chief Problems
Occupying Astronomers is
Whether There are any
Changes on the Moon.

THOUGH astronomers are study
- ing stars and nebulae trillions
of miles away, they still have plenty
Of unsettled problems close at home.
There still are many puzzles to be
solved with regard to the earths
nearest neighbor, the moon.
One of the chief problems occu-
plying astronomers is whether or not
there are any changes on the moon.
1t Is certain that there are no
large-scale changes on the surface,
for the largest telescopes give us a
view Of the moon similar to that
which the unaided eye would af-
ford if the moon were only from
fifty to 100 miles away.
If there was any object the size
Of the Graf Zeppelin moving on the
moon. the big telescopes would Ie-
veal it.
Discussing the problem of
changes, DR.. Henry Norris Russell,
the dean OF American astronomers,
writes: 1T is certain that there are
no conspicuous changes; there are
no such transformations as would be
presented by the earth viewed tele-
scopically-no clouds, no storms, no
snow OF winter, and no spread Of
vegetation in the spring.
AT the same time it is con-
tended confidently by some observ.
ers that here and there alteration
do take place in details of the luna
surface, while others as stoutly dis
pute It,"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1929-10-05
Heat and Cold

CHANGES in the moons surface
If they do exist-might be the
result Of excessive changes in tenn
perature which the surface of the
moon undergoes.
Using the thermocouple, a delicate
electrical thermometer which can be
attached to a telescope, Drs. Seth B.
Nicholson and Edison Petit of the
Mr.. Wilson observatory, undertook
to make temperature measurements
of the moon.
They found that the temperature
on a spot on the moons surface di4
rectly under the suns rays, rose to
286 degrees Fahrenheit. This tenn
perature is above the boiling point
Of water and sufficiently high to
melt sulphur.
During an eclipse of the moon,
they took measurements of the dark
portion Of the moons surface and
found that the temperature of one
spot dropped from 1856 degrees Fahr-
enheit before the eclipse to 1876 de-
gres blow zero, a temperature equal
to the freezing point of alcohol.
These excessive temperature
changes are due to the fact that the
moon has no atmosphere. Conse4
quently there is no blanket of air
to temper the suns rays in the day
time or to hold in the heat at night.
There are other unsolved problems
with regard to the moon. One is
the origin of the craters upon the
moon, great formations resembling
extinct volcanoes.
Another problem Is the origin OF
the moon. Some astronomers think
that the moon was once part Of the
earth, occupying the space now filed
by the Pacific ocean.

Putting aside the question of

CINCE the beginning of the

clear that the diet of man is of
fundamental Importance in relation
ship to his health.
Recently George R. Minot, who
was largely responsible for the de-
velopment of our knowledge that
the liver will control pernicious ane-
mia, has considered the whole sub
ject of deficiency in the human diet.
Nature, no doubt, provides through
instinct for the proper selection of
diets by animals in most cases.
Man, on the other hand, having
a mind of his own, varies his diet
according to his own choice and it
is not rare to find human beings
who have chosen diets which are
bound to produce disorders.
