By GARRETT P. SKRV1S8.
On January 4 the moon was nearer to
the earth than It haa bean at any time
Inc Uta discovery at America by Co
lumbus, aad about 17,340 miles nearer
than Its average
WjaBlDatfSra
dIAanca of EMM
mile.
The moon wn
full on that uata,
and since the. earth
happened . ax . the
same time to b
ery eloaa to it
neareat point to
the sub. i,0UO.AW
miles ' nearer than
n will be' on July
1. the combined ef
fects of tha rHa
the nearness of tha
moon and th In
create In' tha In
tensity of the sun
light poured upon
Its aarfara mado. It th ferlfntest fu"
moon that man has gased upon In tM
years. Whether anybody who chanced to
be oat of doors on that night noticed
tha superior brilliancy of the moonlight
Is questionable; yet It might have been
noticed, and certainly waa measurable
by scientific methods.
One of the thing which have been re
garded as th most surely determined
with respect to the Influence of th moon
upon th earth Is the varying effect which
It produce utvjb the earth's magnetism.
When It la near It eaercises a greater
effect of thla kind than when It la further
a eay, and on this occasion, wheo It was
extraordinarily near, a peroeptibl In
crease of It magnetio effect, beyond any
known to modern (clenca, might have
been expected to occur. When tha ob
servations made at magnetic obaerrator
lea hava been publlahed we may have
evldenoa that auca an affect was actually
produced. But clearly there was no ef
fect sufficient to attract general nolle.
Th two great magnet swung more than
17.(0 miles nearer to each other than
their average distance, but nobody felt
a tingling of the scalp.
It may be a matter of surprise to many
that tha moon should exhibit such ap
parent ccantrlcitlea In Ha motion, but It
does not surprise astronomers. The orbits
of U moon atid the planets, as they are
described In school text books, are only
approximations to the real paths pursued
by the bodies of th solar system. They
pull and haul one another about in a
way which might lead an uninformed
person to fear that everything waa In
danger of going to smash, but long con
tinued observations have shown that th
principle of compensation Is always at
work, and that, on tha average, they keep
their prescribed places.
At the same time the pull of the moon
upon the earth was proportionately in
creased, and. being In opposition to the
sun, which was also, as we have sahl,
at its nearest point for th year, the tidal
strain of th two bodle upon the earth
was at a maximum, th greatest known
In fous centuries. If there had been,
coincldently, a storm at sea, driving the
water heavily upon the eoast. as some
times happens, New York would prob
ably have experienced a high tide of
memorabi proportions,1
It haa long been thought that earth
quakes and other similar diaturbances
must be promoted by an Increas In the
tidal forces of the aun and moon when
acting together, as they did on this oc
casion, and tbe fact thst there was no
notable eeismlc outbreak accompanying
this extraordinary close approach of the
moon, at a time when the sun Itself was
exercising Its utmost force. Indicates
either, that tha theory of a connection
between earthquakes and high tides Is
erroneous, or that, just at th present
moment, the rocks of the globe are In
comparatively settled stale
Tiiey even react upon one another on
account of their Irregularities of shape,
and Just as the moon seises upon tho
equatorial protuberant- of th portly
earth and swings Its axis round In the
great waits called the "procession of the
equinoxes" (the moon' Influence Is
three time that of the sun In producing
till motion), so ths earth, by virtue of
the aam protuberance, reacts upon the
moon, causing slight periodical changes
In It position In the sky. All these things
are, subject to exact mathematical cal
culation. . . -
Th statement that th earth I now. In
mid-winter, about I.W.OU) miles nearer
th sun than In mid-summer may appear
surprising to some persons, but there If
no fart better ascertslned. The reason
why w have winter when the earth Is
nearent the sun Is because the position
of the earth's sxis of rotstion Is such
that the northern hemisphere leans away
from tire sun during our winter months,
and the solar rays fall at so low sn
angle upon us thst more best Is lost
through that cause than Is gained by the
greater nearness of the aun.
In th southern hemisphere winter cor
respond In I'm with the earth's great
est distance from the sun, which is one
of the reasons offered for the greater
quantity of lea about the south than
about the north pole. Th southern sum
mer, of course, fells st the time of the
greatest nearness to th un, but com
pensation Is found In the much vaster
expanse of the southern oceans, th ef-
'ect of the sea being to modify or equal-
ze temperatures.

The Radiator Bag
By CHKSTEB F1KKIXS.
Th "Ocna Roll" may roll
Across the ragtime land;

Wares "Alexander's Band:''
Yet all gay tunes of Jest or love
Seem but to pail or drag
Beside the catchy music of
Tha Radiator Rag.
The pianola tVre next door.
The fiddle down below.
The singer on tlie second floor.
All make the lr.unlc flow;
But when all iusirurmnts To wrong
And voices break or lag.
Hflll sweet remains one matin song -
The Kad'.ator Tag.
J
And may It never fag
! Th song that says we've got som heal
i The Radiator Rag.
Bsj critics, versed In higher art.
Decry Its crashing chrUi.
But music that so thriii th" heart
Is proof 'gainst bitter woids.
Who but a foo! could h--ld to Mwn
And chok with hatred's gag
Ths sweteat music of the morn
Th Radiator Rag?
Th heater's gilded organ pipes
May sputter, groan and bray;
But. oh. th woe that grimly gripe
What time It foils to play.
Lang may Its vibrant pulses beat.

As th members of th household scatter

No man should come Into hi house l

good deal Ilk my mother, aed Ma, ah
was a peaceful oul that waa always
aaaenst turmoil. What ar w going t
do now, my darling husband, to avert
bloodshed? Tell m Itttel &obMe.
I have a recipe here In my pocket. Bed

Se her, husband, sed Ms, what in th
wurld de you mean by telling me that you
wud be reddy to pay that C. O. D, today.
Whan th poor littel boy. Jiad to cum all

I see, aed Ms, I see. It la a clipping that
tells about Mister Madison Peters, be
says her that the only way to prevtnl
