About Moons
The most Interesting of all moous
are the two that attend Mars each
about sixty miles In diameter That
planet is just onehalf the size of the
earth its surface is divided into con-
tinents aud seas having as mmli land
as water it has an atmosphere clouds
frequently concealing its face and its
seasons are about tho same as here
though the winters aro colder Be-
cause ono of the moons travels around
it three times as fast as Mars itself
turns it appears to riso in the west
and set in the east while tho other
really circling in the same direction
at a speed comparatively slow rises
in the east and sets in the west Thus
both moons are seen in the heavens
at tho samotimegolng opposite ways

tied with a rope and In Its efforts tc
escape the craature slipped on the op-
