The Newtown bee. (Newtown, Conn.) 1877-current, 1903-07-24

off the coast of Norway in the year A.
D. 1907, called the Maelstrom. In the
history of Archimides, printed IN Lon
don, we are almost shocked as to the
matter of facts which caused at that
date the wonderful cavern which was
caused to be broken through the crust
of the earth in that particular place,
an to immediately throw up the
Loffoden Islands. 1t is said that YES
sells coming near that whirlpool are
drawn in and dashed in pieces. For
three centuries the most learned scien-
lists in Europe studied to lind the
cause and outlet of this strata orcavern
when at last it was discovered that an
immense strata of rock and earth had
parted asunder and that this whirl-
pool came out in the Arctic Ocean
some 2, 900 miles north of the mouth OF
this abyss. 1t was thought best to
crib this dangerous spot, hence syn
dictate of millionaires undertook the
job. On the Kiolen Mountains in Nor
way, are immense trees, without. a
limb 400 feet from the ground, and at
least so feet in circumference at the
base. 1t is proposed to cut these trees
and point them with steel and drive
them around this whirlpool and cover
them with Norway Spruce, and place
a beacon light on it to warn all travel
ers against this dangerous place.
A warm ocean current starting off
the Bermuda islands and passing
through the North Sea between Eng
land and Ireland thence north on the
coast of Denmark, until it reaches
that whirlpool and is drawn in and
spouts up at least 80 feet high in the
Arctic Ocean. The atmosphere, for
miles in extent, is so permeated with
the vaporS which arise, causing, with
out doubt, the open polar sea. No ice or
snow can for moment live in such an
atmospheric condition. Steam derricks
have been taken through this abyss,
while the crew travelled over land, to
board the ship. At that point i'm
mense rocks and boulders have been
thus placed round the north pole to
keep it from swaying and veering, thus
keeping the earth on it's firm fOunda-
tion or remaining in statuesque posi-
ton. The time is not far distant
when this cavern or abyss will be trav-
ersed by boats being made of India
rubber with alright whalebOne win
dows made transparent; thus the tray
eller can view the passageway. 1t is
proposed to place an electric battery
at one point Of the boat, thus giving
light and heat to cook by. A certain
ibrous toughness is added to the rub
Der and made perfect by placing the
crew and electric battery, frozen
meats for food, ETC., on tissue paper
and the rubber boat blown around
them, thus forming an alright space
where no water can come through or
make moist.
1t is supposed that certain king
that was to be crowned over in Lom-
hardy and Venice undertook to build
a sea-wall around the southern part of
Italy, to prevent the sea from cutting
a channel between Corsica and Sar-
DINA, which was before the flood a
part of the mainland of the aforesaid
province.
This wall was built Of gutta-percha,
sealed with alright, wooden chambers
cast on the island of Malta and shipped
overland, previous to the introduction
of the Suez Canal, and placed in po-
sition by skyrockets located at an an
gle of forty-five degrees, from the
main shaft or derrick. 1t is with diff
Guilty that we can keep our thoughts
from bounding sky-ward when we look
over the writings Of that wonderful
writer and historian, Proteus, a Gre
cian monarch, who laid the corner
stone Of that great Amphitheatre at
Rhodes long before the Deluge.
We are almost awe-Stricken with
thought when we look over the barren
and desolate desert and behold the
luXuriant growth Of vegetation where
never a green blade grew. 1t can no
longer be doubted by the fair-minded
and intelligent generation, that we are
living in the Goth century. When we
are passing from one place to another
we can step up to tree or rock by
the roadside and strike an electric
spark, telling our brother in far
away foreign country that we are at
