And since this crustal material was light it

the elevation of the heavier or basaitic rocks,
exactly as a log of light soft wood win float
higher in a river than log of heavier wood
Therefore we find that the rocks beneath the
beds of the oceans the heavier varieties
the molten mass which lay beneath the outer,
lighter crust
As the earth cooled more and more and
water vapor began to condense and fall as rain,
it naturally settled in the lower regions on the
earth's surface, forming our oceans While
arms of the oceans have invaded continental
areas in times past, those arms have been
shallow. The deep oceans have never been

the continents.
At the time that the tidal force on the
earth's crust tore Off the material which made
the moon, the crust of the earth was probably
about 30 or 40 miles in thickness. At least,
that Is approximately the accepted figure.
Today the crust of old Mother Earth is
twice that thickness, for the old lady has
cooled on and settled down to more sedate
habits and behavior, which permit man to

~ NCE the mon was part OF the earths

and half years ago, long before
"you were tadpole and was fish."
= AS the molten mass which was the
earth in the making spun through space, 1t
cooled and q thin crust of lighter materials
formed on its surface like coating of grease
on kettle of cooling soup.
There were tides in the thin-skinned earth
caused by the attraction of the sun. 1t
buleed from the tidal pull and swelled out in
n huge tumor on the surface. The tumor
grew larger and larger and finally the tidal
force pulled a great chunk of this crustal ma
teriaI out into space.
It was as if a mighty hand had torn on
piece of the rind of the slowly cooling earth,
leaving the edges tattered and torn. AS

trousers leaving the edges irregular and rag
ged so the tidal force tore hole IN the crust
of the EARTH leaving capes and peninsulas,
bays and harbors on the ragged crustal edges,
and dropped bits which it could not carry
away back upon the earth to form islands.
The material which was hurled away into
space became the moon and by the force OF
attraction for its parent body continued to
spin around the earth.

the remaining crustal material split apart and

about 40 years ago advanced the idea that the
moon was torn from the earth either by tidal

to cover many interesting phenomena ON

it offers the best explanation of why GRANTEES

are chiefly composed-were pushed or pulled
into piles. as they are in the mountain forma-

This is the fascinating story Of the develop

TO me.
"For many years had wondered about Ber.

said. And how to explain Hawaii and those
other islands which are dropped out in the

fOG HAZARD Is
 ELIMINATED BY
 NEW INSTRUMENTS
INSTRUMENTS NOT COMPLI-
 GATED NOR PROHIBITIVE

MITCHEL FIELD, N. Y., Sept. 25, lP)-The elimination of fog as a flying hazard seemed assured in a demonstration flight with three instruments which ena- bled the pilot to rise and fly a land plane with the cockpit completely covered.
 Lieut.. James Doolittle, Army racing pilot, took a plane up and directed it over a 15-mile course and landed it within a few yards of the starting point solely with the use of instru- mentS.
 The test was made under the direction of Harry Guggenheim. The instruments, upon which Lieutenant Doolittle relied, were an artificial horizon visual ra- dio receiver, delicate barome- tric altimeter radio receiver, consisting 0f two vibrating reeds which indicate when the plane is heading direct for an objective and when it is over the objective deviation to the left or right causes the reed to vlbrate more rapidly than any ether altimeter.
 So sensitive does it measure altitude that it brings a plane down safely to within few feet of the ground making pos sible safe landings on an obs care field. MT. Guggenheim said the instruments are not com plicated nor prohibitive in cost.
