VOLCANOES OF THE MOON
LARGER THAN OUR OWN
Craters Were Formed by av8Burst-
ing Through the Crust and
Relieving Pressure

IL Is evident to any one who giances
upward at the moon that it's volcanoes
are on an immensely larger scale than
those which stud our globe. One ex-
planation. now abandoned. is that the
force of gravitation being there only
one-sixth that Of the earth. the mat
ter expelled from a crater would be
spread far more widely and explosions
would be generally on far more mag
nificent scale
Professor Pickering quotes this the
Ory only to refute IL in some compari-
sons which he has made between the
great volcanic region of Hawaii and
one of the smaller craters of the moon.
The facts seem to him to be that the
larger craters on the moon came into
existence when the thin. solid crust
covering the molten interior was. ow-
ing to It's solidifeation and contrac-
tion of the crust. much too small to
contain the liquid material.
The craters were. therefore. formed
by the lava bursting through the crust
and so relieving the pressure. Later.
after this relief had been found and
the crust had thickened. the interior
the solid shell, which was now too large
and, being insufficient1y supported.
caved in. permitting the great fissure
eruptions which produced the so called
lunar seas. These extensive 0ut1ows
.of lava dissolved the original solid she'll
whenever they came into contact with
it. much as they do in the present day
in Hawaii.
Had the moon been much smaller
these eruptions might not have occurred
at all. and If the moon had been much
larger their relative size would have
been greater. Most probably ON the
earth similar outbursts were greater
and bur original gigantic craters were
destroyed by the outflow of the earlier
archaic rocks which completely sub
merged and dissolved them.-Chicago

LINES the OLD Way sEsr

A painfully bashful young man OF
Srotesbury proposed to his girl by
means of phonograph. to the waxeu
cylinders OF which he had previously
told his love. The girl was greatly
surprised and not displeased to hear
her lovers declaration. but the idea
OF this betrothal did not appeal to her.
Accordingly she sent her little brother
with a note which read as follows.
Dear Sir: If you have courage enough
you might come over and tell me what
you have to say. but IL you haven

STANDING oF THE CLUBs

Oscar Jones. the San Francisco
pitcher, ran up against his invincible
hoodoo. the Commuters, again yester-
Gay IN the game at Recreation park.
After 10 innings Of snappy play he lost
pF score OF TO ]. Jones was touched
up for 10 safeties during the progress
of the game. while young Randolph
helo the hard hitting batsmen of the
Seals down 10 three hits. The game
was the exact opposite of the one OF
the previous day, when hits and runs
came apparently without effort on the
part of the players Jones has been
unfortunate in his games with the men
from. across the. bay. as he has only
one victory TO his credit against them,
and an that one he. was put in late sin

tine the Seals had not been able TO
make a hit OF Randolph. while the op-
posing side had two hits off Jones,
neither Of which was of any avail as
far as runstwere- concerned. The Seals

This was the only time the Seals were
able TO score.
IN the next inning the Oaks tied the
score Bliss made bad start by
striking out Bigbee then singled over
shortstop. Haley went out, third to
first. and Brick Devereaux came through
with a sousing hit 10 left field on
which Bigbee scored.
There was nothing doing then until
the Oaks came to the bat in the last
half of the tenth. Smith, the first man
up. was safe on a hit past first Van
Haltren forced him at second. Van
hunted and the ball bounded into the
hands Of the catcher. who nailed his
man at second Heitmuller hit to the
right field fence, sending Van Haltran
TO third. Truck Eagan then came to
the plate, and, knowing his skill as a
batter. the pitcher gave him a pass to
first rather than take a chance on him

The play did not save the day for
the Seals, as Bliss worked the squeeze
He bunted to the pitcher, and, while
he was out Van Haltren came home
with the run which meant so much
to the Oaks, as it was the only touch
required to make them the victors.
Devereaux distinguished himself in
the ninth inning by making q sensa-
tionaI stop of a hard hit ball past
third and an equally brilliant throw
TO the first station, where Hildebrand
was out on a close decision.
Nick Williams did equally effect
