an atmosphere, water and vegetation.
Ques.-What has become of the
ments of life?
Ans The water has been absorbed
by the solid matter. The Gradual re.
duction ofheat within the be 4. 1.-THE
Moon was attended with the al >, ption
of all moisture and such is the porous
condition of matter that long before her
internal fires were extinguished the
whole amount of waTer upon the surface
was absorbed.
Ques.-What has become of the at
mosphere?
Ans.-The drying of the surface was
followed by the opening of huge assures.
These grooves are more than ninety in
number, nearly mile in width and
from ten to one hundred and twenty-fiv
miles in length. 1t is very probable
that these caverns have become the re-
ceptacle of the Moons atmosphere.
Ques.-Is there no action of any kind
upon the Moons surface?
Ans.-None but physical changes and
they are limited to an increase of those
fissures in size and number, and perhaps
some volcanic action.
Ques.-Is there-any fear that our
Earth will undergo similar changes.
Ans.-It is a natural result. The re-
duction of heat within the Earth's CEN
tire will be followed by the absorption of
water. 1t is estimated that one-fiftietb
of the water on the Earth has been al
ready absorbed, and that when the
Earth's crust has become 100 miles in
thickness, water will disappear altogeth-
er. The Earth could easily absorb fifty
ocesns like those now ON its surface,
Ques.-Does analogy warrant such
speculations:
