A Volcano on the Moon

Within three months one astronomer, M. Charbonneaux, declares that he and his assistants have seen an active volcano on the moon, with clouds of vapor floating above it. If this be true, what becomes of the theory of a dead moon with no atmosphere; for clouds will not float over an airless world? And the moon is our nearest neighbor. How little we really know! All observations of other worlds are based upon what we see and know here. And yet conditions there, where sin has not poisoned air and soil, may be vastly different. Many elements, or forms of elements, may exist there of which earth knows nothing.
