Calls Them "MoonIets."

Moonlets is the new name for me-
teorites. Prof G. X. Gilbert has found
it. He believes they are by-products
of the catastrophe that split off the
moon from the earths mass, not Wis
itors from space, but little fragments
of our own planet that have returned
after long absence. They move in
orbits of their own, generally eccen-
trio orbits. Those moonlets whose
velocities were hyperbolic would free
themselves from our earth, but could
not escape the sun and would there
fore revolve about it in orbits COIN
Gliding more or less closely with that
of the earth Since they would be
constantly meeting both the sun and
the moon their orbits would be sub
ject to most violent perturbations,
constantly shifting them back and
forth between hyperbolic and elliptical
conditions. Also, as Prof. w. II. Pick
ering of Harvard believes, they would
all of them sooner or later pass near
enough to sun or moon to be minute
