his large estates In the Midlands,

walked unless he could get a lift for
nothing, and he was not even above
taking a gratuitous seat on a dung

Astronomers long sluce came to the
conclusion that the moon's surface Is
very hot during the height of the lunar
day, which, as will be remembered,
lasts two weeks, and very cold during
the lunar night, which is equally long.
These extremes of temperature reach
their height at the lunar noon and
midnight and arc greater than any
natural temperatures on the earth.
