The Hot Springs star. (Hot Spings [Hot Springs], Dakota [Dakota Territory, i.e. S.D.]) 1886-189?, 1891-02-13
Is the World Roundp

Our fellow townsman, Orlando Fer
guson. who by the way is somewhat Of
a genus, after years Of study, has prov
en- satisfactorily to himself, that the
world is not round, like an orange or
a ball" as the Biographies are wont to
tell us. It has taken him many years
to evolve theory and construct mod
els Of astronomical instruments to illus
trate to an unbelieving public his ideas
as opposed to the spherical theory Of
the shape of the earth. His arguments,
as advanced in the hearing of a STAR
reporter, bear the impress of deep
thought, and the small model exhibit.
ed, though not large enough to fully
show forth his ideas, was still large
enough for one to catch the predoml-
nant features of the new theory. The
model somewhat resembles half ball
or orange placed in a saucer. His
theory, as shown by the model, is that
the entire square rests upon water,
inside the "four corners of the earth"
there IS a hemisphere, around which
the sun, moon and stars revolve: and
that the sun instead OF being 95,O0O,O0O
miles away, is not more than $500.
He, also, claims among other things,
that the earth is stationery. There Is
no north or south pole. BY many
passages in the Bible he proves that
the earth is stationary, square, having
solid foundations and four corners and
that the sun moves. He claims that
this is good backing even if the world
is against him. He has applied for a
patent on his astronomical instruments
and when tins is granted, he will en-
deayor to introduce the new theory by
explanatory lectures, pamphlets, dia-
grams and improved apparatus.
He claims the moon to be mirror
that reflects from its surface the seas
and continents Of the earth. In this
he agrees with the people Of ancient
times, as is shown by the following ex-
tract from an interesting article on
1.-THE Moon,'' written for the Youths
Companion, by Prof. E. S. Holden,
Director of the Lick Observatory. "The
ancients thought that the moon was
another earth and they called the dark
regions seas and the brighter ones
Continents Some of them, however,
declared that it was nothing but a
great metallic mirror in the sky, and
that the seas and continents Of the
moon were nothing but the reflections
of the land and water on the earth. .
Mr.. Ferguson has studied the sub
ject so thoroughly that he is ready at
all times to explain away any and
all objections raised by doubling
listeners, and being an eloquent talk
er and able debater the explanation Of
the theory is truly interesting. At a
future day the STAR will try to describe
the astronomical apparatus invented
by Mr.Ferguson, and give our readers
some insight into the theory ofa fiat
square earth as opposed to spherical
or round one.
