THE JAINA GAZETTE and Rs. 909 in the Jiv mukti Fund. In the year under report the League had an income of Rs. 10,090-13-3 of which Rs. 7919-15-2 were spent. The Excess of Income carried to the Balance shcet is Rs. 2170-14-1. Since the field for humanitarian work is so vast and the items so varied, the fund of the League is quite inadequate to the work before it. We believe that the organisers of the League and all those who are interested in the humanitarian work will contribute amply to the Fund of the
League.
Shri Jain Chandraprabha Library, Madras. Mr. S. Rajmull Hon. Secretary writes :
There was a public meeting held under the auspices of the library in the Jain Upashraya, Choolai, Madras on the 20th December under the distinguished presidency of His Holiness Muni Maharaj Shri Gambir Vijayaji. Several members present spoke on various topics. Mr. Ram Sharma and Mr. C. S. Mallinathji gave interesting lectures on "The value and importance of Education" and on “Moksha marga "respectively. The Muni Maharaj appealed to the audience to help the propagation of Jainism far and wide by publishing tracts in different languages.
Moon may Crash into Earth. Sir Oliver Lodge, speaking at Morley College, Westminister Bridge, London, on “The History of the Moon" recently, visualised the possibility that, millions of years hence, the moon may collide with the earth destroying all life on the planet.
He said forces are working on the moon, which was once part of the earth, to make it return to its parent body.
In a few thousand years the moon of the planet Mars, affected by similar causes, may crash on to the surface of Mars.
Sir Oliver explained that the moon caused the tides, the effect of which was to make the moon follow a path which took
it in spirals ever farther from the earth. Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat
