Surely, th. ii. the tides of the litfht, nu.bile atmosphere must be so latye as to produce great ihanjjes in the weath er. "All this appears reasonable, we must admit; but it happens that the atmosphere does not behave that way. and so far from it, indee.', that it.- tides can he detected only by the most searching and delicate means. We must civ. up the idea then, that the moon pulls the at mosphere ab.iiit in great ebbs and 1 fl,,\v-. an.l thereby atl'eots the weath . r. b. a'.ise, . n careful examinatioi:, w• :';»i i that iiotliirtr of the kind P.iit h-w ab. th" ii. at from the mont. ? tlt.il j;renter at lull | in.i.i i than a- • w moon. and | ell. :if!i great.T to change the j w athet V V. it is greatest at full j iuoi.ii. l ilt ev.it then, as shown by i direct measurement, it is so sma-1 that it can alter the temperature oi" , the earth by only one or two thou s andths of a degree. "in ij.tite a different and indirect manner however, the moon changi the temperature .if the earth manv- I f, '.! as much as by its own ecu - ! spiv u.iti radiation. It does so ; t this way: since both it and the • arth swing around the sun tn- I tret her, and at the same time rotat about each other li•.• a big weight I and little weight at the two etni nf a stick hurtling end over end (through the air. it follows that ;! ' full moon, when the moon is on the opp isite si.ie of the earth from th • . sun, the earth itself is closest to the j sun, and at new moon farthest away. ,At full moon the earth is about I fi.OOO miles nearer the sun than it ; jit at new moon. | "This seems a long way when j ; thought of in terms of traveling over the face of the earth, but it is j a mighty little part of our UO-od.l 1 million miles from the sun, and the j I temperature effect is only about one , fiftieth of a degree. "Perhaps, now, our moon champ j ion will offer another anil very pret ty bit of evidence. Why, he says, ; many a time 1 have seen the moon : just eating up the clouds. The sky was nearly covered with clouds at ■sundown, and then in less than at hour the moon was shining bright ' and there scarcely was a cloud to t i he seen. "We agree that often a sky thnt j lis considerably clouded s»t and be- ; | fore sunset is seen, during the lighr | of the moon, to clear off rapidly at' 1 the twilight deepen. But we do not I admit that the moon had anything to do with it. This is how it all I comes about: when the sun goes | down, clouds cool faster than the dry air. They lose heat and also chill the air they are in. This chill-! Ed contracts, as cooled things do, [ becomes correspondingly denser, an I , I sinks to lower levels, pulling the j cloud particles along with it. As ! it sinks it gets warmer and warmef, . and stops sinking and warming onlv [ when it comes to the same tempera- | ' turc as the air that then surounds I THE DANBURY REPORTER J st.
