New Y'ork, Aug. 25.—Ninety years ago today the New York Sun an s nounced: “Astounding News! Dis covery of Vast Human I’opulation in the Moon!” The headings were fol lowed by a long and circumstantial account of a great astronomical dis covery supposed to have been made by Sir John Herschel. The “Moon Hoax,” as it is known, ranks among the most famous and most ingenious cases of “spoofing” ev er perpetrated on a gullible public. People rushed to buy The Sun, and it is said that the circulation of the paper was increased five-fold. The skit xvus soon afterward published in pamphlet form, the edition of 60,000 being sold in less than a month. This account purported to-be taken from the supplement of the Edinburgh “Journal of Science,” and was most circumstantial. The discovery was asserted to have been made at the Cape of Good Hope, by means of a new and vastly improved telescope in vented by Herschel, but xx'hich was later destroyed by fire. The sensa tion produced by this nonsense was widespread and profound. The press both in Europe and America took sides for and against its authenticity, and for some time a large public credited the statements made. Rich ard Adams Locke is generally credit ed with having been the author of the story. Magee Hearing Postponed. Las Vegas. N. M., Aug. 25.— UP\ — The preliminary hearing of Carl C. Magee.
