The Moons Formation.

From The Nashville American.
Astronomical theorists have figured it ont that
the moon is the result o! the most prehistoric COL
IisiOn by some wandering comet upon the earth.
Once on time, sNys The New Orleans Picayune
they hold, all the land upon the earth joined
II one vast eXpanse, surrounded by the sea. Some
where between america and China our planet was
struck by o co:t.et. The shock was tremendous.
The ocean shaken up that its waves rushed
over the land covering 1t with, perhaps almost n
universal food Anenorlnous body OF rock ana land
was broken out of the earth like huge bite out
of an apple, and 1t was hurled into space, forming
our moon. The stufting thus being knocked out
of our planet the Americas fell apart from Eu-'
rope and Africa narrowing the vast cash made by
the comet. The then rushed into the tit2ntic
chasnis making the Pacific and Atlantic oceans
but the Pacific is where the moon plug was taken
out. Physical geoeraphers have often called at
tenton to the fact that the two coast lines of the
east and west sides of the Atlantic ocean seem to
be counterpart5, the ono of the other, as If they
had been broken and reft apart. Now they will
understand how 1t came about.
