process of forma tion reasoning from analogy wo must believe that at some period iu the distant past the moon bad an atmosphere and water and also that on account of her in ferior size she has cooled much mora quickly than the earth tbe water pon etrating the crust bus been absorbed as the decrease of internal heat increased tbe thickness of the crust until long before the cooling process had
