Of unique project He would create
glacier at the top of the San Bernardino
mountains in California that would
change the arid lands Of Arizona and
Southern California into garden of
Paradise. He would have the standing
army, now used to destroy, employed to
improve, and suggests as one of its tasks
that it erect an immense chimney on
the Pacific coast OF an enormous height.
so that the ocean air could be carried to
the top of the San Bernardino mountains.
where by atmospheric action ii would be
reduced TO an extremely low temperature,
thus forming, according to Mr.. Wool
ridge, an immense glacier. The presence
of this glacier would cause a sufiiciency
of rainfall, which in that country is now
lacking because the upper strata of at
Elosphere is too warm. He also sug-
gested that the water courses Of the
