the ciueptain: THE BIRTH OF THE MOOH. Prof. K. H. llolden in Harper's Magazine. The earth revolves on its axis once in twenty-four hours. Millions of years ago the the day was twenty-two hours; millions of years before it was twenty-one hours. As we look backward into time wc find the earth re volving faster and faster. There was a time, acsao, lon before peology lcÍns, when the earth was rotating in a day of five or six hours in length. In the remotest past the earth revolved in a day of about five hours. It could revolve no faster than this and remain a single unbroken mass. It was at this time that the moon was born separated, broken off, from the parent mass of the earth. The earth was then a molten flattened sphere of lava. Its w hole body was fluid. The tides, which now arc small, superficial, and, so to say, local, were then universal and immense. They occured at short intervals. The whole surface of our globe was affected. And the correspond ing lunar tides in the f.uid molten moon were indefinitely greater still. Our day is now twenty-five hours; the distance of the moon is now 240,X)0 miles. When our day was about five hours long the moon was in contact with earth's surface. It had just broken away from its parents mass. As the length of the terrestrial day in creased, so did the distance of the moon. The two quantities are connected by inexorable equations. If one varies, so must the other. Whenever the rotation time of a planet is shorter than the period of revolution of its satellite, the effect of their mutual action is to accelerate the motion of the satellite and to force it to move in a larger orbit to increase its distance, therefore. The day of the earth is now shorter than the month the period of revolution of the moon. The moon is therefore slowly receding from us, and it has been receding for thousands of cen turies. But the day of the earth is, as we have seen slowly grow ing longer. The finger of the tides is always pressing upon the rim of our huge flywheel and slowly but surely lessening the speed of its rotation. So long as the terrestrial day is shorter than the lunar month, the moon will continue to recede from us. A Fiendish Attack. An attack was lately made on C. F. Collier or Cherokee, Iowa, that nearly proved fatal. If came through his kidneys. His back got so lame be could not stoop without great pain, nor sit in a chair except by cushions.

(w Well for Irrigation. New Mexico College of Agri culture and Mechaiic Arts. October 10th, 1901. Editor Chiftain: Hardly any ouestion in our Territory is of as much importance to the agricultural interest of New Mexico as that of irrigation from wells, to supplement any lack of the natural supply of irrigation waters from the rivers. The greatest drawback to a more general adoption of this method of irrigating is a lack of more definite information regarding the best methods and the best applicances. To aid in the solution of this question, thi9 experiment station is undertaking inorougn investigation of the best methods, machinery and wells, to be used for irrigation plants. In order that this investigation can be as complete as possible, and result in the most good, wc want to get in touch with all those in our Territory and surrounding coun try, who already have had experience with irrigating plants. We have prepared a set of blanks to send to such persons, in order to learn their experiences. Will you not aid us by publishing this letter, with the request that all who own, or know, of such irrigation plants, existing in this Territory orneighboringcountry, send, as soon as possible, their names and addresses to the undersigned, so that we can get it touch with such people? Your kind cooperation in this matter, which we feel is for the good of the Territory at large, will be appreciated. Very truly yours, Francis E. Lhstkr, Executive Officer in Charge.

Larson, of Bay Villa, Sundays River, Cape Colony, conducts a store typical of South Africa, at which can be purchased anything from the proverbial "needle to an anchor." This store is situated in a valley nine miles from the nearest railway station and about twenty-five miles from the nearest town. Mr. Larson says: "I am favored with the custom of farmers within a radius of thirty miles, to manyof whom I have supplied Chamber lain's remedies. All testify to their value in a household where a doctor's advice is almost out of the question. Within one mile of my store the population is perhaps sixty. Of these, within the past twelve months, no less than fourteen have been absolutely cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This must surely be a record." For sale by A. E. Howell, Socorro; W. M.

He posed as a fortune-teller and mind-reader, and when he was arrested and taken into a New York court for posting handbills on the street, he explained his vocation to the presiding judge. "And so you are a mind-reader," said the interpreter of the law. "I wonder if you can read my mind." "Oh, yes," replied the prisoner, apparently believing that a "bluff" would serve his cause as well as anything. "You are of a bright and cheerful disposition. And I can see by the merry twinkle in your eye that you are about to tell me to go home." "Your diagnosis isnot correct," said the judge. "I was merely mcditatingwhetherlshould make the fine five dollars or ten dollars. I think we will call it five dollars this time." Stricken With Puraljttls.
