 his voice and %ept.'

 1he Mo0a.--The substance ofthe moon is more known to us than that of the bright. CT luminary. Its volume is forty-nine times less than the volumo of the eartl,.--

 There is ground ofsupposing that all is sol- i'd at its surface, for 1t appears, in powerful tSOIOSOOICSS uO uu 0UIu uuOOS OU WuACh1 SOWtV

 have thought they could perceive the ef- fleets, and even tho explosions, ofvolca- noes. There arc mountains on the stirs

 face of the moon, which rise to nearly the

 height of three miles, and it has been in-

 ferred, that it has deep cavities like the ba.

 sins of our seas. Caspian lakes have been supposed in it. But it has either no att

 n,osphere, or it is of such extreme rarity.

 as to exceed the nearest vacNum we can produce by our best constructed air pumps; so that no terrestrial animal could breathe )alive upon its surface. If. thcn, it be in- [ habited, it is not by beings who have bo- dies like either menor any of our aninat- ed race. The lunar population must be of

 a far more aerial nature than our present , lselves, or our most declinass follow crea- 3 lures. Only sylphs, spirits ot angels, suit 3 Isuch an eihcrial medium. It has great number of invariabls spots, which proves that the moon always presents to us the

 same hemisphere, and reyolves on its axis

 in period equal to that of its revolution

 round the earth. Its dark and bright parts

 have given rise to the idea, that is has seas, islands, ,ahd continents but it is now doubt ed whether it has any water at all; and 1t has been supposed, that, if it had any O. ceans, the superior attraction of the earth, especially when in conjunction with tho sun, would draw the aqueous fluid into a deluge over large part of it's surfacs.--- The light of tho moon is Ut lsast 500, ,OOO

 times moro feeble than that of tho sun.--- From this inferioriiy the lunar rays, when collected in the most powerful mirrors pro- duce no sensible effect on the thermometers.

 Indeed they seem to have cold produc- ing agency, according to the experience of practical men; though philosophers have not yet ascertained the fact by their direct experiments. That they have peculiar and salutary influence on the animal frame. appears to have been actually experienced by some of our countrymen. Other na- tions declare tho same. t.3 "nt | Its peculiar effects have been 50 often

 observed in mental drangelnent. that this malady has been named lunacy from them, and medical msn experienced in such cas- es have assured me, that. in many, there is n visible sxcitemcnt at tho changes of llis luminary. A,mospherical changes from ie have been also asserted. We learn from Plutarch, that the ancients believe she moon to produce many singular tssults which lie enumsrates.
