have burned out by degrees and naturally,
The natural products of this country are
vefy similar to those OF ours. They have
gold and silver and iron mines cotton and
wooden manufactories-in fact all the in
dustries that We have. are just like we are
in respects. except tina. they are purer,
truer, holier, honester. They have no
courts nor prisons, no
LAWYERS NOR DOCTORS.
Their go, eminent is patriarchal sort
of Repu olic-well, more kike a family
government of good father and nother
over their children. ALI this. no doubt
sounds foolish to you and will to your
readers. but just as sure as the sun shines
and the stars glow of nights, every word L
utter is true. The Newtonisn theory in re-
gard to the construction of the earth Is
false, and this theory being the accepted
one on ersth, people will be 10th 10 Pc
lieve my words but they will be eniIgnt-
ened shortly. The fact is. John Cleeyes
Symmes, an American who died IN butier
county Ohio, in 1929, at the age OF o. years
advanced the correct theory as 10 tne
earth's construction. He said 1t was mol
low, and that there were openings at the
north and south poles. Inls Is True,
though these openings are not quite 80
large as he estimated, that at the south
pole being only about J, 5UO miles ana dnat
at the north pole about the same. Inc
n ,ople of China know this theory to be co.,
r.ct and carry on An immense trade with
the neople of mid-earth. If 1t was not for
the SUPPLIES the Chinese draw from these
neople. with their overwhelming pOpula-
ton they would starve. The people from
the outer surface of the earth L met IN the
interior were whalers, whose vessels were
supposed to have been lost but which in
reality got into the current setting to the
seas in the bowels of the earth, and thus
reached the happy shores where there are
now. 1t may seem strange to you how
got here and will tell you. ! saw q
