about 100000 i'm stock of the company
have been sold at various prices TO
about 500 or more small investors,
most of them I'm the New England
states. Ii is charged by the federal Of

increased by gathering up all manner

satellites.
Collisions i'm this nebular resisting
medium have reduced the size of the

them such exact circles, that the Greek
philosophers believed the deity had
set planets revolving in round orbits
because the circle is a perfect figure.
These collisions which have rounded
up the planetary orbits and brought
the satellites nearer their several plan

moon and have given rise to large
craters which were formerly believed
to be volcanic, but are now proved to
be due to the impact of satellites

Prof. See cited the Investigations of
Prof. Lehman -Filhes of the University
of Berlin and Prof. Stromgren of the
Royal Observatory of Copenhagen, as
verifying his discoveries of the lunar
craters and said their truth was now
established forever.
