A PUBLIC lecturer in New York recently
: argued that science teaches us that in six
! thousand three hundred years more a
= grand deluge will end man and make him
II fossil. Astronomy shows that the earth
, is oscillating in the angle of its axis To the
, sun in periods of twenty one thousand
years. The zones are undergoing con-
stant change. Now, at the North Pole,
it is growing colder each year, and at the
: South Pole warmer. Thus, an immense
accumulation of glaciers, or icebergs, at
: the North Pole will result, while at the
South they will not form At all. In six
thousand three hundred years the glaciers
: will have accumulated so much that they
Iwill suddenly ovcrbalance the earth. Then
the waters of the sea will rush from the
South to the North and there will be a
deluge. o q % - y u N 8 o
