many years matter of controversy
between geologists and physicists.
The investigators Of tidal friction
claim that five hundred or one thou
sand million years have elapsed since
the birth Of the moon, and other sci
entists, arguing from purely geological
reasons, claim the age of the sun to

and rock reefs, which are sown broad
cast many miles beyond the mainland
