ANOTHER LETTER.

Tottenham, 22d December. khu—Alay1, through you, request Mr. Jellinger Symons to point out the i faulty place in the following short demonstration.

The moon (like the earth) has an alternation of day and night, receiving light from the sun.

• This alternation must result either from the moon turning on its axis or from the sun revolving round the moon.

The sun does not revolve round the moon, therefore the moon turns on its axis.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A. R.
