A new explanation of the so-called “conal" of Mark has igen offured the Royal Deblin Socioty by Dr. J. Jolg. He suggests that, in past tiinas, craoke raay have been made by the.

Snoh satellites at a distance of 70 to 50 miles would not exist more than a score or so of years, when they would reach the larger body and ho absorbed.
