Look out for tumbling over. A lectur/
or 10 New York last week told bis hearers
that Lake Superior was formerly The north
pole, and afterwards the Salt Lake region
became the pole; that 1t takes about thirty
thousand yeers for the Ice to 60 accumulate
at pole a. 10 make 1t top heavy, when 1t
gives such q lurch, perhaps 10 q moment, as
to send the tropical seas rushins over the
poles. The ice aud snow are then swept
down Into tropics on the other aide, an ID 10
this way be accounted for the Noachic De-
luge and the droves Of elephants, &C., found
to nave been suddenly frozen at the presen.
pole, which was q, tropical region when
Utah was the pole. That would account
fort the small logs chopped by somebudy 8
little hatcbst which the "Polaris" people
found among the Ice in the very far north.
They were left over from the time when the
North Pole was tropical region q trias o +
score or more thousand year ago. The
earth has shown signs Of great disturbance
lately. whether by internal .convulsions, by
the disturbing Influence Of the planet Msr-
curry, by running into the dsbris OF smashf
ed comets, or by some other causeDhss not
been satisfactorily determined. Possibly
the Ice pile has grown so big that the earth
is on the eve of Topping over, and that
makes the trouble. We must consult the
Oldes! Inhabitaut as to the date of the last
capsize and whether the thirty thousand
year period is about expired.
