Dr. Earl S. Sloan, Po*ton. Mass.
It was the last day of the late
great frost, and, immindfuj of my
fifty odd years, I undertook to skate
twenty miles or so along the frozen
Lea. When I returned home I wrt-
tired, so tired that scarcely was j
seated in my armchair when 1 found
myself nodding, aud' undoubtedly i
should have fallen asleep had am i,
exceedingly strange circumsiaiiot-
happened.
To be brie^ then, I was lifted
from my chair in my home in north
London, whirled through space for
a couple of hours and then deposit-
ed, gently, but firmly, on the moon.
Scarcely had I recovered my
breath when an aged man of ven
erable aspect, whom 1 at once recog
nized as the man in the moon, ap-
proachcd me and inquired mv busi
ness. I explained that i was an
involuntary trespasser on his hos
pitality, and then, thinking as I
was there I might as well learn
something about the history of our
satellite and its inhabitants—sup
posing there were any—I proceeded
aa respectfully as might be to ques
tion the old fellow.
“Yes, yon are right I” he exclaim
ed in answer to my query as he
placed the load of fagots he was car
rying on a projecting mass of gran
ite and rested his back against the
cone of an extinct volcano. “I have
seen a lot of changes in my Htn«
How old am I ? Well, I don’t know
exactly, but it is some million* of
years ago since my first birthday. .
“Why, bless my heart, when I
was a lad this old, dried up moon
was as bright and fresh as your
earth is now.
“Seas sparkled in the sunlight,
brooks gleamed and dashed through
the valleys, and forests clothed with
verdure the mountains now dead
and silent. Aye, these were glorious
times. The birds sang in the woods
from early dawn to nightfall, the
fishes leaped and plashed and leaped
and plashed again in every eddy and
pool of our prehistoric rivers. Great
mammals, some uncouth and some
beautiful, but mostly the latter,
roamed at will amid the glades of
our mighty forests. Then, after s
mfimnx years or so, man came.”
“Man ?” I repeated incredulously.
“Yes, man,” he reiterated rather
testily. “Man, of course. Do you
think your earth alone has been the
home of man? I tell you he lived
and flourished here while the earth
wr.s yet formless and void, a vast
wliite hot mass of semifluid granite.
At first he was weak for.lack of
knowledge, and fought—often un
successfully—with the wild beasts
of the forests for food and drink
and raiment. Then as he grew older
he grew wiser and carved for him
self weapons of flint and wood, just
as the earth man did a million or
two years afterward. Our lunar
men were very clever, too, very
clever; not so large or so strong
as terrestrial man, perhaps, but
quicker to learn. Why, it did not
take us more than 200,000 years to
perfect our civilization.”
“And what happened then?” was
my next query.
“Ah, there* you have asked a
question hard to answer,” quoth
the old man sadly. “All I know
is that one year there came a blight
over all things. It was not exactly
a plague. It was rather a want of
vitality in the atmosphere that re
acted with terrible effect on all ani
mate nature. Man, being the most
highly organized of all things liv
ing, w#s the first to feel its baneful
effects, and he dwindled and pined
and finally perished, and the places
that had been 'wont to know him
knew him no more forever.
“Then as the sunny atmosphere
grew more and more attenuated the
mammals first and afterward every
form of animal life grew cold and
dead. The lowest forms of plant
life lingered for a few thousand
years longer, until the last drop oi
water had evaporated into space, in
fact, and then they, too, vanished,
and the'moon was left as you see it
todav—a dead world, without heat,
atmosphere or moisture.”
-“A sad fate, surely, but you must
have become resigned," Lsaid sooth
ingly, for the old man was sighing
heavily and gazing fixedly into
space, as though he saw again the
lost visions of lone livers he hau
heen describing.
“No, I am not resigned. Arid
he shook his head slowly from side
to side. “Both myself and my sis
ter look forward to better times to
come.”
“Your sister?” I exclaimed won-
deringly. “I was not aware”—
‘‘That I had a sister?” he inter
rupted. “Oh, yes, I have, but I for
got! Of course you have never
seen her. She lives on the side of
the moon opposite to the earth,
amid mountains and valleys, upon
whose hold outlines no earthly eve
has ever gazed. It is by far the
best side of the moon, too, but she
living
is getting rather tired
there and talks about a
places with me. I expect you woulS
be rather surprised down below
there if some fine day—or night,
rather—you found a woman in the
moon instead of a man. Ha, ha,
ha!” And forgetful of his recent
fit of the blues the old chap gave
vent to a hearty guffaw.
“•We should indeed,” I replied,
laughing in my turn, “although I
fancy, unless your sister’s appear
ance differs m a marked degree
from your own, that we should
scarcely be able to distinguish the
difference. You must.admit your
self that one must possess good
eyesight to tell a man from a wo
man 240,000 miles away.
“Oh, but,” answered the old
man, with a touch of family pride,
“she is a fine woman! Not bent
and” bowed with age like me. Indeed
she is really 6,000,000 j’ears young
er than am I. Then, of course, she
dresses in—in”—
“The habiliments suitable to her
sex,” I ventured to say.
“Precisely, and, like all the wo
men here, is fond of dress. Why,
when I last visited her, some 25,000
years ago, almost her first question
was, ‘How do the women dress now
•n the earth?’ Of course there
wasn’t much to tell her, because—
well, the women of that day didn’t
trouble themselves mnch about
dress, hut I am thinking of paying
her another visit soon, and then. I
ahall have a different budget of news
for her.”
“But tell me,” I interrupted, fox
I was not much interested in the old
fellow’s sister, “something about
the earth. You must have seen al
most as great changes in the earth
as in the moon.”
“Almost,” was the answer, “but
aot quite. My world is cold and
dead. Yours is still alive, as was
mine once, but your turn will come
some day, and then we shall both go
circling through space, cold, silent
and lifeless. But that,” he contin
ued, “will be many millions of years
from now, almost as many millions
as it is since I first set eyes on your
planet. Then, as I said before, it
was a mere mass of molten matter—
a vast white hot ball whirling round
the sun and carrying me with it.
I remember as though it were yes
terday the first beginning of earth
ly life. At first the seas covered
everything, and beautiful specimens
of marine flora floated everywhere
upon the surface of the water, while
in its translucent depths fishes of
strange form and glorious coloring
disported themselves. Then the dry
land began to appear, and by slow
degrees the great forests that
shrouded as with a mantle all the
earth not covered by the waters.
For millions of years what you are
pleased to call the lower animals
were the only denizens of their
somber depths, and even after man
came it was hundreds of thousands
of years before he even partially
dominated the face of nature.”
“But was there not,” I asked, “an
ice age ?”
“A what?” he exclaimed, with a
puzzled expression of countenance.
“An ice age,” I repeated, “a
period of time when the ice, which,
as you are aware, is always present
at the poles, spread northward and
southward until it enveloped almost
the entire globe.”
“Oh, yes,” responded mine host,
with the air of a man trying to re
call some long forgotten and alto
gether trivial incident. “I believe
something of the kind did happen,
and not more than 100,000 or 150,-
000 years ago either. But it only
lasted about 20,000 years, and I had
quite forgotten all about it until
you mentioned it.” ■
This concluded the interview, fox
although I would have liked to have
pursued my inquiries further the
old chap suddenly snatched up his
bundle, bent his back and resumed
his orthodox position, at the same
time indicating by a gesture*that he
was not inclined for any further
conversation. “We are right over
Greenwich observatory,” he explain
ed. in answer to rny,lo?k of surprise,
“and I dbri't want 'the astronomers
there to see me without my bundle
and talking to a stranger too. It
