MOON IS LEAVING US SOME DAY IT MAY STAY ON ONE SIDE OF THE EARTH SO WE WILL HAVE TO TRAVEL TO SEE IT. One of the interesting discoveries of modern astronomy, recorded by a Washington writer in tv American Magazine, is that to moon at present is -gradually rec < ing from the earth, and in so djin^ is slowing down the speed of th earth's rotation. Eventually the earth will turn or. its axis at exactly the same speed that the moon revolves around th« earth. When that time comes, the moon will always occupy one fixed place in the sky, and will be visible only from one side of the earth. Much of the present-day knowledge of the moon coipes from the famous Harvard astronomer, Prof. Willam H. Pickering, who has devoted his life to the study of this nearest celestial neighbor of the earth. He has just completed the thirtieth year of his observations,1 which for the past fifteen years have been conducted from a height en the island of Jamaica, south of Cuba, where the cloudless night sky is peculiarly favorable to lunar obsrvation. Edgar Allen Poe, in his harrowing story "The Unparalleled Adventures of Haas Pfaall/' hinted darkly of the supposed horrors to be encountered on the unknown side of the moon. H. G. Wells, in bis "First Men in the Moon," gave an imaginative account of cave life on the moon. Many other writers, including Jules Verne, have dealt imaginatively with the problem of voyaging to the moon, and on American socientist has recently planned a rocket to be shot to the | moon. But Professor Pickering is of the I opinion that the only feasible I method of getting to the moon is | visually, through the eyepiece of a I telescope. A 12-inch teleacope I brings you within approximately 1 1000 miles of the moon, and it Is I possible to distinguish objects as ■ small as 200 feet wide. The surface of the moon is a I "world of volcanos." Its- so-called H seas are great dry lava beds, and |

its mountains are towering volcanic cliffs. Though the moon is only a quarter the diameter of the earth, these surface features are on a scale so gigantic as to dwarf most earthlv scenery. Many of the lunar peaks are five or six mile high, and some of the craters are nearly five miles deep. An airplane, flying 200 miles an hour, would reach the moon in about 46 days.
