NOON E4RTH'S CAPTIVE.
Professor See Says 1t Vas Once
Planet Like Mercury.

San Francisco. June 26.-Professor T. j J. See'
astronomer in charge of the naval observatory
al Mare Island announced tonight that he has
ma hematiCally proved that the moon is planet
captured by the earth from space, and not de-
tachcd portion of globe.
He rejects entirely the long accepted theories or
Laplace and Sir George Darwin ascrtbing earthiy
origin 10 the and asserts that his discovery
is supported by rigorous mathema tcal proof oased
on the methods of Hill, PoinCare and Darwin.
The moon was. he says. originally a planet like
Mercury. but quite SO large, and moved ABOUT
the sun at nearly the same distance as the earth-
Then II came between the sun and the earth IN
such way as TO enter the neck Of the space re-
sembIing a bottle neck projecting from the sun
sphere Of control and inclosing the earth 1hlS
neck was small and narrow, but the bulb OF space
inclosinE the earth and constituting its sphere or
attraction was OF considerable size. When the
moon had once left the suns control and gone into
the bulb about the earth, II met with some resist
ance and the neck became closed. that the moon
was bottled up" under the earths control ana
could not escape. Hence IL has remained with Jhe
earth ever since and will always abide with us
The moon IS still slowly nearing the earth.
