( Youth's Companion. ) A few weeks ago an important address was given in London by Sir Robert Ball, the Astronomer Royal of Ireland, about the moon. In its course he made known the most receat{conclusions of astronomers as tothe moon’s composition, its climatic conditions aud the probability of its being inhabited. As our nearest neighbor in the solar sys- tem, the moon must always be an object of peculiar interest and of ardent investigation to the dwellers upon the earth, So much nearer is it than either of the planets, that we learn more about it; and observe its physical features more minutely, We know that the moon’s diameter is only one-fourth of that of our globe; that it is only 240,000 miles distant from us; that if the moon should disappear from its orbit as satellite, a most important physical change on the earth, the cessation of tides, ‘would: take place; and that in bulk the jmoon is 80 times less heavy than the earth, We can discern, through powerful tele- scopes, the general formation of that half lof the mo«n's surface which is turned to- iward us. Weare told that there are visible two craters of volcanoes, 60 miles. wide; an- other, 10,000 feet. deep; that one mighty peak rises to acheight of 24,000 feet; and that a vast basin is visible 17,000 feet deep ,and over 50 nviles wide. it has long been @ warmly debated ques- tion among astronomers whether it is pos- sible that the moon would support vegeta- tion and animal and human life. But a general. agreement has now been reached ‘by them that the moon is.much older, than Ithe earth; that it is ‘‘asdead.as a door nails” that it has meither atmosphere, air nor water; that, in short, it is ‘* nothing furnished Cabin, $6 50; Stateroom Berth, $8.50. eo but a bali of extinct volcanic matter, lighted only by the rays of the distant sun,” " No fires ever issue fromthe great volca- noes which are apparent on its surface; the huge hollowed-out craters emit no smoke. A vast and eternal silence reigns through all the dreary, treeless, lifeless expanse. The moon, indeed, ‘is apparently aban- doned to death, nourishing no inhabitants, producieg nothing resembling trees, flowers or beautiful things of any kind ; useless, in short, except as 4 mass of extinet volcanic rubbish, which drags the sea into tides, and reflects the sunbeams in moonlight; but whirls like a corpse in cetfements of silver- cloth and black velvet, round and round the earth.” The astronomers have carefully construct- ed a geography of the moon, and have mapped out its regions, and given names to its various features, For instance, they have called some of the mountains of the moon * Copernicus,” ‘‘ Posidonius,” ‘‘Cla- vias,” after earthly philosophers ; others they have christened by the names of the famous peaks of the earth ; and the dreary valleys and waterless bays and lakes have received fanciful but inapposite names, such as the “Bay @ Clouds,” the ‘Lake of Nectar,” and the ‘‘ Gulf of Rainbows.” It is doubtful, according to Sir Robert Bail, if any increase of the magnifying powers of telescopes will add any further definite knowledge to that, which has al- ready been acquired'about the moon. He believes that when the moon is brough’ by great lenses to within 560 (instead of, as now, 250) miles of the earth, as it probably -will be in the near future, the result of this improved observation will be mainly valu- able as confirming the conclusions already arrived at. - > + ae Apvice to MoTHeRs.—- Mrs, Winslow’ Soothing Syrup should always be used when little sufferer at once; it produces natural quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain; and the little cherub awakes as ‘“‘bright asa button,” It is very pleasant to taste.

Journalism That Pays. The London correspondent of the Irish Times professes to have. ascertained the salaries paid by the Times to its foreign eorrespondents :-—M. de Blowitz, the Paris correspondent of the Tinies, is paid 80,000 fr.. or £3,200 per abnum; Mr. Lowe, at Berlin, has £2,500 ; the Vienna correspon- dent’ an equal salary ; the correspondent at Rome £2,000, with rent of a residence ; Mr. Simpson, at St. Petersburg, the same. Even the lesser correspondents, who do not wire perhaps a dozen or half a_ dozen columns in the course of a twelvemonth, were paid on scales varying from £1,000 to Senor Diaz at Madrid, down to £500 to Herr Julius Lax—a mame which will be familiar to many in Dublin and more in Cork—who represents the T'imesin Brussels and soon tothe minimum of £250 paid Mr. Heinrich at Christiana. This seems small, but seeing thatthe correspondence wired or written to Printing House Square occurred only fifteen times throughout 1887 he was fairly well paid for his labors at the rate of nearly £17 per message. The cor- respondence budget of the Times in salaries alone is nearly £30,000 a year. — >_> ee Christians Persecuted. The Department of State at Washington has received a report from United States Consul Seymour, at Canton, China, in regard to the persecution of Chinese who have embraced the Christian religion. He says that there have been many cases of severe persecution of native converts to Chris- tianity in the consular district of Canton. They were attacked with stones, their crops destroyed, deprived of wacer, tor- tured, &,, and finally compelled to seek other lvcations for safety. So relentless were their persecutors that many of the families bad to remain away from their homes for more than three years. Most of the victims are members of the American Baptist Union churches. The consul adds that while the treaty between China and the United States forbids such persecu- tions, it is silent with regard to their pre- vention or correction. -_—_—_——P oo To rue Dear.—A person cured of Deafness ‘and noises in the head of 23 years’ standin | by a simple remedy will send a description o it FREE to any person who applies to NicHOL s0N, 30 St. John Street, Montreal. 4m—ml¢ +s CRockERy will be sold very cheap for « few months, in Dinner Sets, Tea Sets, Chamber Sets, and a very large stock of assorted Glass and #arthenware, at the Cheap Crockery | Store. —W.
