ANOTHER FLOOD IN 5000 YEARS.


a rrssastaon That the Ocean VIII Sub
4 merge the Northern Continent.
The map of the world, as geographers
haye outlined it, shows that there is a
vast preponderance Of land north OF the
equator. Humboldt estimated that Asia
stands at an average height of 1,150 feet
above the level of the ocean; South
America, 1,130; North America, 750;
Europe, 670 feet. The average height of
all the land above the sea level-omit-
ting Africa and Australia, which are
mostly south of the equator-is about
go feet The landed surface of the
northern hemisphere is about A, 600, 900
sqmre miles; thatof the southern hemi-
sphere about Il, 4,000,0 900 to 16,000, 900
square miles, leaving difference of say
28, ,o0O, 900 square miles~of land of an av-
sra9e height of 920 feet above the sea
level.
But rs there is the same visible excess
Of water ON the southern side that there
10 of land ON the northern, and as the
depth of the seas is about the same, it
follows that the weight of the excess of
submerged land in the northern henlis-
phere must be added to the 5000, 900
square miles, doubling the height-of it,
making the landed surface Of the north
een at least !, $40 feet above the average
surface Of the southern hemisphere, both
its continents and ocean depths. What
Il there south of the equator to balance
this enormous weight? There must be
something or the earth would not main
tain its poise.
II there was nothing, water level in
that region would be impossible. Pro-
fessor Merriman believed that the bal
ancing weight might be found in that
8,0oo, 600 square miles of unexplored re-
gion lying within the antarctic circle. If
it does exist there in the shape of ice, as
al scientists believe it does, these i'm
mense mountains of ice must necessarily
be of an average of over tive and half
miles.t to make the southern hemisphere
equal in weight to the northern.
But this state Of things cannot always
exist At present the sun fingers eight
dayslonger in the northern than it does in
the southern hemisphere. This is owing
TO the earth's third motion, that of aslow
wabbling on its axis. This caused it to
approach nearest the sun on Dec. 81,
1S48, and it viii approach equally near
on July 81 of the year 1174S. We of the
northern hemisphere will then be in the
midst Of a terrible winter, providing the
whole of the land north of the-equator
has not been submerged; but there is
good reason for believing that North
America, Europe and Asia will then all
be under water.
This terrible catastrophe will be
brought about in this way: The south
ern hemisphere will then receive 40 per
cent. more heat and light than it does
now. This will melt the great ice ac-
cumulations at the south pole. One
mile of that supposed two and half, if
melted, would raise the sea level at the
north pole about 800 feet, at London $50
feet, at New York 900 feet. Wher, all
of it should melt the waters would seand
500 feet deepen the top of Lake Superior,
and wash the base of the Rocky mount
aims throughout their entire length

TRAIN ROBBERY.
AN EXPRESS TRAIN STOPPED
NEAR LANGTRY.
Express Car-No One Hurt
Robbers Escape.

Six men stopped train number
twenty, on the Southern Pacific rail
way, st 1925 o'clock, and held it un-
til 5:25 q. NJ, twenty miles west OF
Langtry and one mile east of a side
track called Ssmuels, which is about
twelve miles from the Rio Grande.
The train left this city yesterday af-
ternoon for the west at 4:4O o'clock.
The passengers were unmolested as
the men seemed TO want only
the contents of the express
car and of the mail bags.
They got all of the money
Ia the express car, which was
very small sum, as there is
never q large amount carried wests
They also took one registered pack
age, two empty mail bags and the
mail which was made up for Dryden
pJstoffice. After they had gotten
what they could from the mail car
and express car, they returned the
money which they had took from the
mail clerk and express messenger,
and left the train. The railroad COM
pany has offered $3.50 reward for the
capture of each man. The express
company will give reward of about
$1,000 for each one captured and
besides this the government offers
standing reward of about $500 for
every train 1obber, making the
amount offered for each robber about
$3.50.
A posse under Roy Bean, of Lang
try, another under Sheriff Keefer, of
De- Rio, and Captain Jones with his
rangers, have been sent on special
car to the spot.
Six men stopped the train and all
were armed with Winchester rifles
A great deal OF firing was INDUCED in
by the robbers. aud the baggage and
mail cars were we'll filled with bullet
holes.
A small quantity of dynamite is said
to have been used to blow open the
express cars door, as the agent re-
fused to open it. No one was hurt In
the explosion.
Express Messenger Smith was on
this car. He is noted as being the
agent who used his shot gun with
such good effect on some train robbers
a few years ago.
