EVIDENCE OF THE DELUGE.
Rev. DR.. Wright Tells of His ES-
periences In Siberia.


New York, Feb 25.-Letters have just
been received here from the Rev. DR..
George Frederick Wright, the authority
on the glacial period and biblical geolo-
gy, telling Of the results of his search
In Asia for evidences that the deluge
covered the whole earth.
DIR. Wright secured leave Of absence
from Oberin, Ohio university and
sailed for Japan early last year. He
went at once to Siberia and began his
work. His son accompanied him as an
assistant The professor went all
through Siberia and then proceeded to
Syria via the Trial and Caucasus
mountains. In letter received in New
York last week from him at Jerusalem,
Prof. Wright wrote
"The account OF the flood In the Bible
Is not such as to lead US TO expect much

mergence Of a year several thousand
years ago, would leave few signs which

Are there insuperable objections to

much influence In discreditng the the
DRY of geological catastrophes. Prof
Prestwch's great work on geology does
much to counteract the errors Of Lyell
