HERE'S HOW MOON LOOKS
. . !. . t
pref. Pickering's i noery ei
k Crewing Things en Planet
Starts Talk
Disagree? of course!
f-rh.tngceM qncrtten, Is there life
the moon? 1ms Just poked its hoary
d into the limelight again after sev
:t vpnrs of pencpful oblivion.
'iSt statement, by Prof. William
flinty nckerlnK, the Harvard Mtrono Mtreno Mtrone
1 rf support the theory that there Is
Sale life en the old orb which the
public has been accustomed te regard
Vewnl Jamaica, In the Wert Indies.
Pickering has been observing the
rref; for Reme time. He has watched
!? and Phegrnphed it, and examined
'in every phase. The result of his
'I .,lnnq is te the effect that vast
S VS f" lage spring up with almost
afflWheTaXwhlehtUnethey
Sn'Miref. ricUerin,
;hKwSpffless;
,t0 ,i .intlnnq of the lunar surfnrc ;
fw are fields of moisture, fog
'nmt abounding with Clouds, and
firt voleanie action is frequent.
Astronomers Take Sides
The announcement of I'ref. Plckcr
,.?? discovery has excited vary lug com
ing s a'TOThY .pctlen of the country.
Cny are inclined te give the state
!t creet weight because of Us
W..w' undoubted standing. Others,
SlnJ them Dr Samuel Barten, of the
ffislty of Pennsylvania, feel that
i. iwofMer has been tee sanguine in
pUcfng II- own Interpretation upon
Ses and variations in the lunar
S which h.ve already been noted.
I f i said, however, that Dr. Picker -nit's
oprertunltles for observation at
he Mnndeville station have been better
than any preceding them, and It Is net
Improbable that he may have seen
Something that no one else he ob-
"if'the professor be right, his discov discev
rrj opens up fertile field fpr conjecture.
Assuming that there nre lunar habi
tants (would they be called lunatics?),
life would be net half bad. According
te the Btatcment, the maximum time
fur the full bloom of-lunar vegetation
it eleven days. It is fair te say that
tome varieties take a much shorter time
te attain full growth. By n careful se
lection and Judicious breeding certain
en the neighboring planet. With coal
nt prescnt-dav prices, Imglne the
economics te be effected by locating
one's home ever a moderate -steed vol
cano. There would also be chean
natural-gas illumination, and It would
be easy te utilize the accumulated stui.
imd volcanic heat te generate steam for
nil ImiulM. This Item alone Is enough
te mnke any householder want te move
there at once.
While these considerations nre net
itheut their force, it will be a long
tlme before the first settler from this
glebe makes the change. The moon is
nbeiit 218.840 miles awv and the foot
ing Is said te be uncertain.

PEPPER ADVISESifVOMEN
Tell Them te 8teer Clear or Fac
tional Politics
If the Itepubllcan women of the city
study national and State as well as local
political problems, according te Geerge
Whnrten Pepixr, they will become of
much Importance. He spoke at a meet
ing of the Itepubllcan Women of Phila
delphia in Griffith Hall.
"Ik-ware of following in the foot
steps of men who have worked In fac
tlrns," neld Mr. Pepper, "the women
should ret let themselves be regarded as
a crowd of mlnute men, te be called
upon new and then te take part In n
lerni i e! tical skirmish, and then te fall
back and wait until the next call. The
women l.ave no time te be connected
with t.r?nnl.atlens that have no Ideals.''
FIRE DAMAGES CAR IN GARAGE
Flames bursting from a carburetor
which mechanics were adjusting en the
atitenwbllc of Francis Unglien, K!4
Arch street, did SfiOO damage early this
morning te the car before firemen ar

teke only hnlf n hour te reach maturity.
Vegetables Whlle Ymi Walt
The domestic advantages of this nre
obvious. With a garden at the back
deer and h package of seeds In the
kitchen, one would be eternally pro
vided against the unexpected guest.
When Henry turns up with his old
friend from the southern Ice cap, all
he has te de is te smoke a cigar with
him in the front parlor while Mary runs
out te n convenient crater and plants
a seed. In half an hour a luscious none
such fruit hangs en the- vine, from
which It- is speedily transferred te the
pet. Dinner Is served as usual, nltheugh
there wasn't a thing In the house te
start with.
Then there Is another advantage
which might be enjoyed by the people
