There is a theory that the circular,

are not Of volcanic origin. but are the
result of the moons being hit by
planetoids. Another new theory Is
to the effect that the earth was at

to that which now encircles Saturn
and that this gradually coalesced,
gathering first around a large number
OF nuclei and finally uniting in a sin
sphere-the moon.

those lands to take out the stumps,
he said. Then the stumps must be
brought down TO some central point

who can be trusted furthest away

add to the value of the lands. A pulp
