There ia nothing alarming in the report of the astronomer royal of Great Britain in charge of the far moos observatory at Greenwich, on tbe Thames, a few miles below Lon don, that the moon has been guilty of insistent aberrations during the lest several decades, though some of the interpretations of what he said in that report, made annually, would be quite alarming if they were scientifically exact Shakespeare, usually more cor rect in astronomical references than other writers of his time, merely mentioned what every one else knew wben be spoke of the inconstancy of the great satellite of earth as changing nightly in her circling orb, but he showed a much deeper appre ciation o f those lunatic aberrations wben in “Othello” he excuses an action of one of his characters in the words: An American woman—now s a fe S f che Staten— write« that while ahe wee In Mexico fire aoidktra one day rod» Into her remote mountain camp.

Every month the moon exhibits tbe simplest phase of her aberra tion— that when she id on the side of the earth toward the sun the fit- traction of the letter vast luminary tends to pull the moon away from the earth, while when the earth is between the moon and the sun, so to speak, the double attraction brings our satellite nearer to the earth. There are many other perturba tions o f the moon which have never been explained with mathematic precision. As one scientist has said, “The lunar theory is not yet ideally perfect.” Consequently even the closest of lunar observers may be in error iw regard to certain of the phenomena of the activities of this by far the largest of any of the nu merous satellites of our several planets which are favored with moons, her diameter being approxi mately one-fourth that of the earth. — Cleveland Plain Dealer.
