Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. However doctors may differ concerning the way that our earth came into being, most Of them agree that in its early days meteoric bodies from space flew together and produced a hotter globe than at present. Perhaps its surface was all covered with vast circular lakes of lava such as our telescopes reveal in great perfection, ring upon ring, over the surface Of the moon. On the moon these rings and pits are now cold, remnant from a time when the gases from the inside of our satellite were bub bling forth from a great internal heat supply and bringing with them oceans of slag which seethed and swirled in circular pools which formed sym metrically within ramparts of their own spatter.
