Says Moon la Oval Shaped.

Astronomers will await with interest details of the “experiment” carried out by Professor Stiattesl at Bologna 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 of times no difference has been detected between its polar and equatorial diameters. A clergyman recently put forward tW* 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 to Revelations, forms tbs “New Jerusalem.” Eventually, so a* 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 as the Celestial City, where tbs faithful are to spend eternity. This remarkable lunar theory has been a preface by the bishop of Exeter.
