A New York Times account explains how a lunar observer would perceive Earth as about sixteen times larger than the Moon, appearing blue due to Earth's atmosphere. The discussion covers apparent sizes, distances, and the color influence of air on celestial light.
The article surveys motives for marriage from social habit to practical aims. It cites Goethe and John Wilkes, notes nine tenths wed for reasons of companionship or status, and contrasts views of "old maids" becoming wives for usefulness. It then shifts to a science note on summer sleep in animals, describing hibernation-like inactivity in reptiles and amphibians during hot months.
