upon a set of boautiful chart pholographs lately presented to the Paris Academy of Sciences. The pictures show, for example, that the craters were not on the borders of seas and oceans, as on the earth, but were distributed in all parts of the moon's cousinents--a fact indien ing greater volcanic activity on the lanar surface than on the earth. Tycho's singular white streaks, radiating ontword 250 miles, are attributed lava or cindor-flows from the crater. M. Lewy believes that they give positive proof of a forser almosphero, and that their termination on the borders of the lunar soas may be explained by the ex in- guishing action of water.
