softly oval face was framed by a
mass of silky, deeply waved black
hair. But the most startling thing
about her were her cloudy grey eyes,
long, and heavily lashed, and these,
set in the dark beauty OF her face
gave the effect of a bit of clear sky
unexpectedly seen through an open
ing in dark clouds. Her mouth was
wide, generous, with a full, finely
carved lower lip and thinner,
sterner upper lip, both the color of
blooming peoples.

Toto turned to Elmira. "You en-

honey" she said, as though she
were comforting a favor. Elmira
seemed on the verge of making a
sharp retort, but Toto's imperious
eyes were upon her, and they were
unsmiling. Elmira dragged back
into the field without a backward
glance. At once the grey eyes were
smiling again.

out of the way of his own bullet. The
Big Bertha had a muzzle velocity of
$3.50 feet a second, or 1900 meters,
only 255 feet less than the initial
velocity required to encircle the moon.
If the speed was increased to 7,785
feet a second, the projectile, on the
other hand would send the shell out
into space never to return and out

troll of the moon.
Moons Craters the Result of
Lack of Gravity.
It is this lack of gravational pull
that has produced the craters that
we see on the moon, DR.. Wright be-
heves. Without gravity there is no
atmosphere.
For example, the materials hurled
into space by volcanic action COM
parable to those on the earth, instead
of falling back into the crater as with
us, are flung far out. This is what
gives the cleanly-chiselled appear
ance of the moons volcanoes.
Some astronomers believe that the
appearance Of volcanoes are caused
not by great inner fires. but by the
effect OF nAeteors that penetrate the

around the globe to do 1T.
Scientists have figured out some
strange results that might be OBJ
tanned if the gravitational pull was
lessened. On the lunar planet OF the
earth this strange force is about one
sixth of that on the earth, in fact say
the astronomers it is too weak even to
hold an atmosphere to its surface.
Such, in fact, is the diminished
force of gravity on the moon that Is
millimeter guns, which have a range
of from 5 to 8 miles on the earth,
would shoot from 230 to 280, miles If
there. The big Bertha which threw
shells into Paris from distance OF
~ miles, would have range on the
moon of $3.50 miles, over one-quarter
of its circumference.
DR.. F.. E. Wright of the Geophysical
Laboratory of Washington has figured
out that the flight of a projectile
fired on the moon at zero elevation,
or perfectly level with its surface,
would travel right around and hit the
gunner in the back.
If q shell were fired at a muzzle
velocity of 5,505 feet second. 1t
would skim around fast and furious
and the gunner would have to get

Moons crust to some distance, pro-
ducing intense compression, which re-
bounds elastically, ejecting a quantity
of material.
If a meteor travelling at such speed
were suddenly stopped as in collision,
there would be great heat that would
melt the meteor and the rocks all
about, free the gases shut up with
in them, and even volatilize some Of
the material. This would produce an
explosion.
Thus, looking at the moon, it can
be believed that the large craters that
the telescope shows, are largely, in
one way or another, the result of the
Iessensd force of gravity. Our earth
encounters numerous meteors in its
flight through space. Most Of these
heavenly bodies are burned up and
consumed as they are pulled through
our atmosphere and have but little
effect upon the surface when they
finally reach it.
However, if the earth were like the
moon, lacking an atmosphere, these
meteors would come with terrific
force, strike the surface and throw up
great quantities of soil. 1t would be
very similar to the effect produced
by dropping a large stone into thick
mud, which leaves hole and piles
up in ridge the mud all about the
edges.
Thus after all, our moon may never
have had any lively volcanoes on its
surface. 1t probably isn't dead
sphere at all. It has only one lack
1t needs some gravity. With this es-
sential and very common fierce, it
would have an atmosphere and Prob
ably be q delightful place upon which
to live.
