would not be living today." Known

Moon Rivers.
! The Ho railed crntMi-s rtotr mnnntnln
ami empty sea beds of the moon are
nut the mil) Interesting phenomena
which our Mitediie presents to the i
view There are mi many part of the
moon's siirfni-e lonsi. narrow lines call
ed "rills." evidently much below the
Kcneral level of the ground, some ot
them comparable In breadth and depth
to the great caii.vous of our western
country Certain astronomers have
been disposed to rcpird these rills as
cracks and rents In the crust or tbe
moon, hill nl hers have adopted the SHR
eslloh, made long ago, that they are
river channels It may be remarked
or these ancient lunar river channels,
if such they really are. that tbelr wider
ends always terminate '.a pear shaped
hollows like little craters, and tbla end
Is nearly always higher than the other.
sn that if the craters were once lakes
their waters must have flowed out Into
tbe rivers Instead of tbe waters of the
rivers emptying Into tbe lakes. Uar
