At or about the time of harvest in the north temperate zone, the sun in Its usual course is ap proaching the celestial equator, which it crosses from north to south on Sep- | tember 22. On that date it sets close | to the western point of the horizon. | Jf it happens to be then also full | moon, the noon rises that evening ns the sun sets, and it at ite rising opposite the sun, or close to the exact pastern point of the horizon. Thus it begins to give light at sunset and con- tinues to do so until sunrise, when it gots opposite the sun, just as the Iat- ter rises, This arrangement holds good without any great change for several days, so that there is practi- | enlly no darkness, especially If the weather 1s fine, The fuil moon which thus flluminates the autumn nights is ealled the barvest “moon, 4 “lid he ate and ate, never thinking of slopping until his mother, awakening | from her nap, saw his hind legs, and {Jumped up with a grunt.
