_The Moon and her Influences._--Can any of your readers inform me of
books treating, scientifically, or giving traditional notices, about the
supposed influences of the moon; for instance, on the tides, on
lunatics, on timber felled during the wane, on fish taken by moonlight
in the tropics?
Also can any account be given of the origin of the tradition that
connects "the man in the moon" with the history given of the "man
gathering sticks upon the Sabbath day" (_Numbers_, xv. 32-36.)?
