Motions

IF the moon is noted near a GER
Il tain group Of stars tonight, it
will be found to the east of them
tomorrow night, a distance of about
Is degrees. AS a result Of this, the
moon rises about fifty minutes later
each night.
If this fact is once grasped, the
amateur astronomer will have no
difficulties in understanding the
motions Of the moon. Let us see
how it works out by following the
moon in its appearances from new
moon to full and back again to new.
At new moon, the moon is on the
same side Of the earth as the sun.
1t rises at sunrise and SITS at sun
set and SO remains entirely invisible
But the next night it rises ap-
proXimately an hour after the sun
and sets an hour later. Conse-
quently, it is visible as thin cres-
cent low in the west for an hour
after sunset.
The rule, therefore, is to look for
the new moon in the western sky
and soon after sunset.
AS the days go by the crescent Of
the moon grows fatter each night.
reaching first quarter and then full
moon. 1t also continues to rise
later each day SO that there are
more hours Of moonlight each night
This also results in the moon ap-
pearing further to the east each
night at the time of sunset.
At the time Of full moon, the
moon rises in the east just as the
sun is setting in the west and there
is moonlight throughout the entire
night.
After full moon, the moon begins
to grow thinner, reaching last quar-
ter in a week. 1t also continues to
rise later each night, so that by the
time last quarter is reached the
moon is rising about midnight.
Each night thereafter it grows
thinner and rises later until new
moon is reached, when again 1t rises
at sunrise and again is entirely In
visible.

Billions of Miles Away

THIS new planet is more than
A four billion miles away, or fifty
times as far from us as we are from
the sun.
Can you think of four billion
miles? Probably not, or even one
billion.
It has taken the human race ten
thousand years to apprehend what
such distances mean, and then only
by the use of symbols.
The astronomer would be lost
were he obliged to depend on SIM
pie arithmetic,
The astronomer has to abandon
such q unit of measurement as the
mile, for the light hour, or light
year. 1t takes a ray Of light eight
minutes to travel from the sun to
the earth. If the new planet is fifty
times as far away, it would take a
ray of light more than six and one
half hours to make the distance.
That seems a long way off, until
YOU recall that the astronomer must
deal with stars which are not only
a million light hours away, but
million light wears.

HIGHWAY TO HAPPINESS

Read Matthew 16:21-27. Memory
verse: He that loseth his life 4.
shall find it Matthew 10:39)
MEDITATION.
To lose ones life is not to throw
it away, but to give it away. Life is
too valuable to be sold at any price.
We do not sell our most precious
possessions. II we part with these,
we give them away. LIES best re-
wards come as We invest ourselves
without thought Of gain in some
great cause or in the welfare Of hu-
man beings. The way to the enjoy
ment Of life is: Something for some
body for nothing.
PRAYER
Deliver us, o God, from the self
centered life. Lead Us forth from
solicitous and anxious thoughts Of
self to the wider fields of service.
In Christ, thou has shown us the
way; help us to walk in it. for His
sake, Amen.

NXTHEN the moon is on the same

/ NKTHEN the moon is on the same
w side Of the sun as the earth.
the side Of the moon Illuminated BY
the sun is turned away from us and
the dark side is turned toward us.
1t is then entirely invisible and
we have what astronomers call the
new moon.
About two nights later the moon
will have moved sufficiently for Us
to see a little Of the lighted side
and the moon appears in the sky as
thin crescent which is known pop
ularly, though not exactly, as the
new moon.
Approximately week after new
moon. half of the lighted side is
visible and we have what is known
as first quarter.
A week after first quarter the
moon is on the opposite side Of the
earth from the sun and all OF the
Illuminated side is toward us. We
then see what we call the full moon.
A week later we again see only
half of the Illuminated side and it
IS last quarter. A week after last
quarter none Of the Illuminated side
is visible and we have new moon
once more.
The apparent motion of the moon
in the sky is little difficult to un-
derstand at first.
The rotation of the earth on its
axis makes the moon appear to rise
in the east and set in the west in
just the same fashion that it makes
the sun and stars appear to do. But
due to the fact that the moon is
revolving around the earth, the
moon appears to be moving east
ward, among the stars.

IN a recent consideration Of in
l. somnia, DR.. Joseph Collins clas-
SITES three classes of poor sleepers.
Some have trouble getting to
sleep. If they are allowed to sleep
late into the morning they do not
seem to suffer from their troubles,
but since most people have to get
up at a certain hour in the morning
to work, such people not infre-
quently seem to show the effects Of
lack of sleep.
Sooner or later this type of per-
son begins to dread his inability to
fall asleep and that tends to make
the matter worse. Such failure to
fall asleep easily depends on mental
conditions, including excitement,
fear, anxiety, overWork, and the use
of chemical sttmulants, such as caf-
fein in tea or coffee.
Many people begin to think about

SCIENCE
The Moon Is O1u- Nearest
Neighbor and Study Of Its
Phases Is q Fascinating
one.
BY DAVID DIETZ.

THE moon is the earth's nearest
4 neighbor in the great ocean Of
space The average distance from
the earth to the moon is 100000
miles. There is no other aStronom-
ical body whose distance from the
earth can be measured in thousands
Of miles
All the others are millions and
billions and even trilhons OF miles
away.
The moon accompanies the earth
on its journey around the sun, re
vOlvlng around the earth as the
earth in turn revolves around the
sun The tides in the oceans Of the
earth are the result Of the moons
gravitational pull
The moon gees around the earth
III a sort OF dattened circle called
an eclipse
The moon is a dark body, shining
only by reflected sunlight. This
fact, coupled with the revolution Of
the moon around the earth, ac-
counts for the phases Of the moon

Going Down

DUT then the clutch of the ebb
- seizes hold. The descent to life
begins. Worries and particularitieS
reach out. But they miss you. Yes,
a really hearty fever will never
quite let you down into the clutch
ing hands.
Just in time, the upbeat begins.
Soon those hands which would have
dragged you back to earth are only
fluttering fecks. Instead of grasp
ing at you, they merely wave fare
well. The balloon is going up.
In Kansas a generation has
grown up without recourse to
liquor" says a Middle Western pro-
hibitionist, "and one hears more
young people singing of an eveniug
IN Kansas town than one hears in
the lands Of the vine.'
This would be more impressive if
he mentioned what they sang and
just how well they did it. IN
fortunately, have not been able to
lay my hands on any volume which
contains the per capita singing sta
tistics for Kansas during the last
generation.
Therefore, am in no position to
argue the matter. But I must con-
tend that community singing is
something less than impressive if
all the performers and all the
listeners happen to be cold sober. Al
cohol has its defects, but it is q
superb lubricant for taking the
squeaks out Of high notes.
