centricity attained its greatest possible
amount. From 100000 down to $1,000 years
ago the orbit continued to be very ecoen-
trio. and DR.. CRoLL's conclusion was that
the latest Ice age In the Northern hemi.
sphere ended with the close Of the period OF
high eccentrlcity. $4,000 years ago.
In the future. according to DR.. CRoLL's
tables. the ear.h's orbit will become highly
eccentric about l50. 100 years from the pres.
ent epoch. Until that time. II appears. we
shall DO reasonably secure from any In.
vasion OF the ice. It will be observed that
while Ice ages are unquestionably recurrent
phenomena. yet they are not separated by
anything like regular intervals OF time,
simply because the conditions favoring
their production do not recur at regular In
tervals. but are tho result Of exceedingly
complex influences. Moreover, Ice ages
come In pairs or sets. alternating between
the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
This fact arises from the procession OF tho
equinoxes. by which. once In every 1880
years. an Interchange Of condition 10 OF.

ent. for instance. we In the Northern hem.
isphere have our winter when the earth is

when the earth is furthest from tho sun
