Ask (he Old Farmer: Why the word blue in the old saying- "once in a blue moon”? H. D., Beaver Fails, Pa. There are two schools of thought. One states that under certain conditions the moon can and does appear to he blue in color. Our notion is that this could be caused by a mild eclipse, but maybe not. The other argues that the moon normally resembles a good natured face, almost smil ing. But, from some cause or other, this appearance can change until the face looks sad, or “blue."
