Building Fences in tho Moon.
En. 1'AHMKit: In your i'ssiio of July 0th
I notice a communication, undor tho above
caption, Htitl ovor tho signature of "M. I.
II.,'' In which ho glvo-i his vlows, and tomo
of htsexperlmenls.
N iw, I don't fully endnroo bis arguments;
don't think hla theory (or his fonco either),
will hold together worth a cent.
Ho fays Iho leuco built in tho "light" of
the moon ooiitluiKd to rise, while tho one
built In tint "dark" of tho moon gradually
mttlod into tho ground. We will admit thla
for the present; but he aays It seomed likely
to exhatut his stock of building material to
keep them lu order. In regard lo the one
which setllod we know of no botter way
than to add a new rail as often aa required
until It reached tho bid-rock, when It
would probably become stationary.
But In tho cae or tho o'bor'fenoe which
whh rising from the ground: We consider
It would have been great economy both of
labor and material, to havofafcn off the top
rai and ptacctt it miaVrtieatA, Ii atead of
adding new onte till It resoked the moon.
Id 'regard to his final experiment of
"equallxlng lbe lulluinoes," he saja lie laid
(lie first four rails in the dark or the moo
and the 1 odor top lour lu tho light, and that
Itromuliud all right. Wo can't see the
point, but maintain that, sooordlng to fate
theory, tho lower part of the fence would
settle, while the upper part of the fotioe t
would ascend ' moonwsrd," thereby leav
ing a space In the middle through which
loge, cattle, or anything else could aooa ,
pss at pleasure. '
