Tie Earth not a True Globe.

Our planet is not true globe, because
Of its former plastic condition before the
formation and cooling Of the surface.
When the globe was soiss it was more or
less yielding, and then the gofftion Of tn
earth to which | have re tended to
drive off, as it were, the matter IN the
equatorial regions: 50 that the dis;ance
through the centre of the earth between
the two surfaces as far as possible removed
from the poles Of rotation, or those parts
of the earth which that imaginary axis
comes through, is rather greater than the
distance between the two points where the
axis comes to the surface. The reason Of
that fact, and that it must have been SO,
has been beautifully established by several
experiments. That the earth was once
hotter than it is now Is therefore proved
both by the irregularities Of its surface,
and by its shape as a whole. We must
not imagine, however, that there has been
but one change. The minor irregularities
are all gradually changing by inner
energies tie action Of air and water, and
it may be that even the largest ones are
young, compared with the age Of the plan
cts surface. Nor does tie change end
here; the equatorial protuberance itself
may but after all mark point in great
cycle Of change, which has compelled the
earth to rotate now about another. Math-
ematicians consider ithighly probable that
the axis Of the earth may have been ii an
cient times very differently situated 70
what It is at present, aud, indeed, that 1T
might have gradually shifted through 10,
20, 80, 40, Or more degrees, without atany
time any perceptible sudden disturbance
Of either land o. water" Thus it appears
that nature prevents catastrophes by the
very hugeness Of the scale on which she
