oriujn of Moon In Doubt.

Many theories of the origin of the moon have been advanced, but all seeAa to present some difficulties. Our satellite furnishes us many un, solved problems. A belief in the meteoric origin of the moon Is now quite general. According to t.iis be lief the earth was surrounded in the .arly stages of its existence by a ring of ,neteoric matter. The material forming the ring gradually gathered into one mass, our present moon. whose pitted face gives evidence of the bombardment 1t received from me teoric masses within the ring. Accord. Ing to this theory our satellite has al- ways been a dead world, a cold and lifeless mass of meteoric rock.
