Mr, Weisberger bases is hypoth- esis on the observation that maps of the ymoon are exceedingly variable. strato. Lunar georgraphy, he says, is very vague and uncertain. Tomorrow the camera may show a picture of the moon greatly different from the one it caught today. i What one sees, he says, is. an ever changing atmosphere shell about the moon, and it may no more resemble the real object than the prickly hull of a chestunt resembles the smooth brown object inside. | Due to. the rotation of the moon,- the surface of its air cover has as- sumed the form of waves and spirals * of varying density and depth, which resemble mountain chains and craters, not entirely unlike the sur-' face of a cloud on which one may look down from a high mountain peak. : | The author of this theory thinks it is substantiated by the character, of the shadows in the moon. If the mountains there, are really as high as scientists believe, they would cast long and dense shadows, he thinks, which would make the edges of the moon dark and jagged like a saw- blade. But just. the .opposite is the case, he asserts, for the brightest part of the moon is near the ecir- cumference. ; aaron Potato Bonus Urged For New Brunswick BRINGCO0D HUMOR TO.

Although Derso and Kelen, who work jointly had depicted the states- men as birds, fish, animals, child- ren, toy soldiers and "barkers" in a fair ground, they all seemed very happy about it. . Signor Grandi, Italian Ambassa- dor to London, waved aside those who greeted him upon his entrance, saying, "Just a minute, I have not seen the latest ones yet." Sir John Simon, British Foreign Secretary, who officially "opened the exhibition, was very complimentary. He declared that Derso and Kelen are adding to international accord. Their cartoons, he said, are not vic- ious distortions but gentle raillery which could be appreciated by all nationalities, Moreover, he declared, Derso and Kelen probably do a lot of good by "the way they conduct their leg-pulls." "Although," Sir John - Simon ad- ded, "I may sometimes fail to: receg- nize myself among those cartooned, I never fail to think how perfect all those others recresented are." Visitors to the exhibition seemed rather puzzled as to how two people could produce one cartoon between them, and could develop a style in which it is impossible to detect which of them has done which fi- 'gure. . B® The two cartoonists were very, modest. 'They pointed to their draw- ings and smiled. Eventually they allowed themselves to talk. "It is easy," said Kelen. "Yes. Very Good," agreed Derso.

"Often we argue," Derso argued. "But always with good humor." {He shows me my. weak points. Of course we do not always have the same ideas," Kelen added. "We. argue. We hammer.
