ture at times aridity at times. and ike
oscillations. This view carries with 1t the
necessary corollary that the atmosphere has
been supplied by accessons in some new
proportions TO its losses"
The author then gives some plausible
reasons for the fluctuatlon in supply and
exhaustion of the atmosphere: among
these 1t is noticed that when general up
hit OF the crust occurs the area OF the ocean
ts diminished and the urea of high laud
increased with an increase of the atmcs-

tome distance beh nd the stages OF general

The author also assumes that atmoe-
pherlc poverty, especially In the critical
item of carbon dioxide. Is correlated with
low temperatures. Tyndall suggested that
carbon dioxide had peculiarly powerful
influence in absorbing solar radiation, and
Arrhenius has lately computed what de-
gree of depletion of the carbon dioxide nj
present in the atmosphere would bring
about the glaciation known to have pre-
vailed in Pleistocene times
He finds that the removal of 3S to As per
