MOUNTAINS AT FAULT
For Prolonged Drouth, Says Prof. Wig

ottawa Ont, June PROF. Virgins
is out with a letter accounting for the
long drouth in this part of the CONT
nent. Turtle mountain, he says, under
the influence of conjunction of heav-
at the disaster of Mt. Pelee, attracted
a mass of electric force causing dis
turbances which resulted in the land
slide, the Rockies eventually drawing
off the electricity.
In the case of Mt. Pclee there were
no high neighboring mountains to col
ect the electric accumulations, which
turned to fire produced volcanic action.
and were followed by long periods of
heavy rain. The opposite conditions in
the Turtle mountain occurrence pro-
duced opposite results, drouth in place
of rain.
The professor concludes with these
words "a recent writer says the
great desert in the heart of Australia
is due to local causes 1t is not true
1t is caused by the mountains of the
northern hemisphere robbing its at
mosphcre of it's electricity, for atmos-
phere not electrically charged can
not absorb moisture.
North Americas electric force dur
ing the last four weeks was stored in
the great Rocky mountain chain and
our atmosphere was clear and could
not give us rain-not even d tear to
mourn our dying vegetation.
sweep away the worlds mountains
and the Australian desert will clothe
it's naked limbs with Il robe of green;
cast the Himalayas into the ocean and
the desert of Cobb will press her fe-
vercd lips to the mists of heaven; shut
the burning mouths of Stromboli and
Vesuvius ana the Sahara will bud and
blossom as the rose"

extravaganza Through the Center of

mummy gives the professor talisn1an

succeed in gaining entrance to the
inner world, where by series of ludi-
crous circumstances Reuben is made
king and rules supreme. In the third
act fun reigns fast and furious. wind

complications which show the Blon-

lack of interest in religious work in our

learn that they were incorrect and that
the number was much larger at least
in one of the churches.
If a mistake was made in one, posi-
bly, in the others. I had not thought
of undertaking the number. AT best
it is bad enough and is enough to HUI
initiate every Christian in our city that
