In
point
of
fact
,
"
replied
Ardan
,
"
this
is
your
chief
,
if
not
your
only
argument
;
and
a
really
scientific
man
might
be
puzzled
to
answer
it
.
For
myself
,
I
will
simply
say
that
it
is
defective
,
because
it
assumes
that
the
angular
diameter
of
the
moon
has
been
completely
determined
,
which
is
not
the
case
.
But
let
us
proceed
.
Tell
me
,
my
dear
sir
,
do
you
admit
the
existence
of
volcanoes
on
the
moon
's
surface
?
"
"
Extinct
,
yes
!
In
activity
,
no
!
"
"
These
volcanoes
,
however
,
were
at
one
time
in
a
state
of
activity
?
"
"
True
,
but
,
as
they
furnish
themselves
the
oxygen
necessary
for
combustion
,
the
mere
fact
of
their
eruption
does
not
prove
the
presence
of
an
atmosphere
.
"
"
Proceed
again
,
then
;
and
let
us
set
aside
this
class
of
arguments
in
order
to
come
to
direct
observations
.
In
1715
the
astronomers
Louville
and
Halley
,
watching
the
eclipse
of
the
3rd
of
May
,
remarked
some
very
extraordinary
scintillations
.
These
jets
of
light
,
rapid
in
nature
,
and
of
frequent
recurrence
,
they
attributed
to
thunderstorms
generated
in
the
lunar
atmosphere
.
"
"
In
1715
,
"
replied
the
unknown
,
"
the
astronomers
Louville
and
Halley
mistook
for
lunar
phenomena
some
which
were
purely
terrestrial
,
such
as
meteoric
or
other
bodies
which
are
generated
in
our
own
atmosphere
.
This
was
the
scientific
explanation
at
the
time
of
the
facts
;
and
that
is
my
answer
now
.
"
"
On
again
,
then
,
"
replied
Ardan
;
"
Herschel
,
in
1787
,
observed
a
great
number
of
luminous
points
on
the
moon
's
surface
,
did
he
not
?
"
"
Yes
!
but
without
offering
any
solution
of
them
.
Herschel
himself
never
inferred
from
them
the
necessity
of
a
lunar
atmosphere
.
And
I
may
add
that
Baeer
and
Maedler
,
the
two
great
authorities
upon
the
moon
,
are
quite
agreed
as
to
the
entire
absence
of
air
on
its
surface
.
"
A
movement
was
here
manifest
among
the
assemblage
,
who
appeared
to
be
growing
excited
by
the
arguments
of
this
singular
personage
.
