HOSIERY! We again call attention to this de partment. Goods of foreign make have become scarce while domestic manufactur ers find it impossible to secure fast dye. Anticipating this trouble we doubled up on the most desirable lines and for the present the stock remains unbroken in I quality, sizes and price, where immediate wants can be supplied. The scissors are kept busy on the nice shear printed fa brics---just the goods for hot weather wear. W. G. Wilson & Co. MICHELIN III MICHELIN UNIVERSAL TREADS and RED TUBE3 are not high-priced!

WHITE OF THE MOON. What Causes Fair Luna, In Its Color, to Rival Pure Snow? Tho moon has no light of Its own and shines through being Illuminated by the sun. Whut sort of surface must the moon have to reflect the light so whitely as it does? This question Is put forcibly in a letter to Nature from J. 1.vershed of Srinagar, Kasli Infr, who describes the moon as far whiter and inore brilliant than the snow chd summits of the Ilinmlynas when these are still lighted by the sun. lie writes: "Why does the 1noon appear so wlite if it is coinposed of rocks slimilar in re: fleeting power to those on the earth? The rock surface of the moon should reflect far less light than the cloudy surfaces of Yenus and Jupiter, and It wolI he of Interest If those who know would ('xplain) the Ipparelt whiteiness of the n1011n ats seen In diyligltt. "A direct cotparison of the mnoon with terrestrial rock surfaces illutnii t1ated by sunlight Is possibly to sorne exteint vtlated by the stiperiinposed blue light snttt(ered 1by the intervening itir, whi('h iay affect the color of the 1)0011. Yet it is very dillicult to be lleve that this can convert the grn s andl browns of rock surfaces Into nn alinost hetre white. "On several occisions In this Valley [ have coipnareti the wuinig mnoon, setting behind the l'ir l'anjal m)out tains, and. of couirse, in full sunlight, with extei'vI snow filelis.
