By PROF. WILLIAM H. PICKERING.

propositions, speculative and theoretical, con-
corning the moon. Prof. Pickering believes
the bulk of the moon was torn out of the earth
exactly where is now the bed of the great Pa
cifc ocean This happened, he believes, ages
ago. when the earth was revolving much more
rapidly than it is today Just how this great
change may have taken place Prof. Pickering
relates in a highly interesting and popular
manner. and incidentally he asserts that the
moon is constantly running away from us, and
some day or other it will cease to shine except
for portion of the earth's inhabitants.
