Inc moan now revolves round the
earth at a distance of 240O 900 miles. but
there was a time when that distance
was no more than 200 900 miles. There
was a time, millions OF years ago. no
doubt, when the mooa was but 100 600
miles away And as we look further
and further back we see the moon ever
drawing closer and closer to the earth.
until at last we discern the critical Pc
riod in earth-meon history when our
globe was spinning round in a period
of about five or six hours The moon
instead Of revolving where we now find
it was then actually close te the earth.
Earlier still it was. in fact. touching
our globe, and the moon and the earth
were revolving each around the other,
like a football and a tennis ball actual
ly fastened together. 1t is impossible
to resist taking one step further. We
know that the earth was at that early
period a soft. molten mass of matter
spinning round rapidly. The speed
seems to have been so great that a rup-
ture took place, a portion of the molten
matter broke away from the parent
globe. and the fragments coalesced into
a small globe. That the moon was thus
born of our earth uncounted millions of
years ago IS the lesson which mathe-
mates declares it learns from the muir
muir OF the tides.
