Show Says Moon Is Oval Shaped. Astronomers will await with interest inter-est details of the "experiment" carried car-ried out by Professor Stiattesi at Bologna Bo-logna by which he claims to have demonstrated that the moon is oval shaped. The moon is more easily measured than any other heavenly body, but though it has been measured thousands thou-sands of times no difference has been detected between its polar and equatorial equa-torial diameters. A clergyman recently put forward the theory that the side of the moon always turned away from the earth is of the same size and shape as the great pyramid which, according ac-cording to Revelations, forms the "New Jerusalem." Eventually, so asserts as-serts the author of the theory, the moon will fall on the earth, and the hemisphere turned earthward will bury itself in our planet, while the pyramidal New Jerusalem will project above the rack and ruin of the elements ele-ments as the Celestial City, where the faithful are to spend eternity. This remarkable lunar theory has been published with a preface by the bishop of Exeter. |
