Sloan's Liniment erable aspect, whom J at once recog nized as the man in the moon, ap proached me and inquired my 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 as respectfully as might be to ques tion the old fellow. _“Yee, you are right!” 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 oone of an extinct volcano. “I have seen a lot of changm in at time. Howold am I? Well, I don r t know but it is some millions of years ago since my first birthday. - «Wh: “ 'wee wtis fifth is how. “Seas sparkled in Che brooks gleamed and dished Chi valleys, and forests'dot! verdure * tbs mountains no; and silent.Aye, thesC Were times. The buds sang in the*woods from early diiwn to nightfall, the fishes leaped and plashed and leaped and plashed again in every eddy and pool of our prehistorio rivers. Orest mammals, some uncouth and some beautiful, but mostly the latter, roamed at will amid the glades of our mighty forests. Then, after a milSxykTyears 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 was yet formless and void, a vast white 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 net 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 a uestion hard to answer,” quoth tie 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, was 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 forma of plant life lingered for a few thousand years longer, until the last drop of water had evaporated into space, in fact, and then they, too, vanished, and the moon was left as you see it today—a dead world, without heat, atmosphere or moisture.” “A sad fate, surely, but you must have become resigned,” I said 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 had been describing. , “No, I am not resigned. And 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. *T was not aware —— “That I had a sister?” he inter rupted. “Oh, yes, I have, but I for- eot! Of course you have never goon her. She Uvea on the side of tfea opposite to the earth, •mid mountains and valleys, upon whose bold outlines *> earthly erfit nud. If is by far the of the tttodh, too, but she she is really 6,000,000 years 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 questioo was, ‘Hew do the women dress now on the earth?’ Of course there wasn’t much to tell her, because— well, the women of that day didn’t trouble themselves much about dress, but I am thinking of paying bar another visit soon, and than I shall have a different budget of newi lor her." . “But toll me,” I interrupted, foi J waa not much interested in the old sister, “something about hare, then si- not quite. My wbrid'is cold and dead.' Yoon is still olive, as was seine once,~but roar turn -will corns some day, end than we shall both go circling through space, cold, silent and ued, from ^ as jt is since I first set eyes, oh your planet. ~ Then, asT sfild before, it waS a mere mass of molten* matter—- a vast white hot hall-whirling round -the sun and carrying ine 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 disporte-«T themselves. Then the dry land began to appear, and by slow degrees the great forests that shrouded as wit!* 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 160,- 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, for although I would have liked to have pursued my inquiries further the old chap suddenly snatched up hie 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 my look of surprise, “and I don’t want the astronomers there to see me without my bundla and talking to a stranger too.
