THE MOON’S FACE.


landscape of lofty mountains, hills, valleys, frowning precipices, desert regions, profound criitors, clefts, rills and bright streaks, th a t puzzle and perplex all beholders. 'The moon i.s indeed one mass of perplexities; even its movements give infinite trouble to those astronomers whoso duty i t is to endeavour lo follow them with exactness. I t is observable a t a glance thalj difforont


Tlio moon’s face presents a, diversified


portions of tho disc vary in reflective cap­ acity. Nasmyh, tho famour selenograpner, declared th a t though there was in somo parte a tendency to a brownish tin t, lio had not seen any very marked colours, AVero we near onongh to t.lie moon, however, ho thought wo slioiilil see the colours of tlio volcanic crust to bo most varied and brilliant. In tlio cleptlis of the A’esiivius crater lie found tiio brilliancy and variety of t in t of the lava- rocks ‘‘ beyond all description” ; which lod liiin to tell tho Rev. Josiah Cranipton tlia t so it might ho in the moon wore wo there to


see. Those great shaded iirens which add such


agreeable variety to the disc are still known by their old Galileo-givoii namo of “ .soas ” ; iiiaro, in Latin. But, dear reader, however pictni'csiino they may appear to yon do not imiigino billows breaking upon their rugged sliorcs, or stately ships sailing over tlioir broad expanse, or sea-birds wheeling their plaintive flight, or fishes darting liither and thitlicr among the vivid-liued seaweeds, tho submarine forests tlia t gently wave from an ocean bod whore strangely-fashionod creatiifes crawl. Do not, I say, picture tlieso romantic things to yourself; they iu-( non-existent. These so-called .seas are wat ericas, and on their spreading surfaces no thing is over seen with certainty to change the absolute flexibility of death is there thoy aro Doiul Seas, in literal truth. And being watorlo.s.s, what then? .W®"


lierchiiiico they are lakes of lava, solidified and crumbling atop; grim mementoes of tlio moon’s past Age of Fire. Lakes of^ laval Arid deserts and desolation itself ; regions of .shuddering eorinoss, where lost spirits might ho concoived ns seeking rest and finding none, where Pluto himself might have con­ genial liahitalion when night ha.s drawn its veil over the Dantosqno scene. Though, then, these lunar “ so.ts ” are


dry-as-diist, and desolate as the walls of Ral- cliitlin. with no happy holiday crowds visiting l.hcir shores and no lunar AA'hitby, or Scar- bro’, or Bridlington, or Brighton or Seaton Carow, or indeed any human habitation whatever, on their margins, they provide .an admiring licinisphore with the Man-in-nie- Moon, whom wo have known and regarded with such alfoctioii ever since wo knew aiiy- oiio or anything at all. Yes, my word upon it. without tbe.se liqiiidless “ seas,
