SAYS THE WORLD IS FLAT
Canadian City Clerk also Says
Earth is Stationary.
NOLAW OF GRAVlTATION
10 Willing to Debate the Question
With Seientists.-Earth Rests on
Water Not Air.

1t is asserted that on the Niagara
peninsula, five out of six persons be-
Hove that the earth we live on is fiat
and not globular. The chief exponent
or this theory is John S. McClelland
city clerk of st. GATHERINGS, formerly
editor of a daily newspaper
Mr.. McClelland is well educated and
has made extensive study of astron.
omy. After much investigation he
concluded that the earth is fiat, and
rests on water instead of air; that
the sun is no bigger than it looks to
the naked eye, and is only a few thou.
sand miles above the earth.
The earth, Mr.. McClelland thinks,
" stationary, while the sun travels
back and forth above it. The suns
Intensity is not sufficient to light the
whole earth at once, and thus when
4 IN at one end Of the world the
other end is in darkness and night
u accounted for.
Mr.. McClelland points to the fact
that the sun and moon are both seen
shining at the same time, as unassail.
able evidence that the earth is not
hall-like In shape.
He scouts the gravitation theory.
There is no such thing as gravita-
uon, he contends, and he asserts that
the theory is merely an invention of
astronomers to bolster up the super
stition, as he calls it, that the earth
II a globe.
As for the moon, Mr.. McClelland is
confident that 1t is not more than 500
miles away. The theory that the stars
are as big as the earth is pronounced
altogether ridiculous. The moons
Night, he points out, is of a phosphoric
character, not at all like that of the
sun.
Mr.. McClelland issued a challenge
recently to members of the Royal as
Economical society, living in Toronto
and Hamilton, to meet him on the
public platform and publicly discuss
with him the question whether the
earth is round or fiat, and not one
Of the astronomers has seen fit to re-
spond.
Then Mr.. McClelland posted an Of
fer, and 1t stands to-day, to pay 800
for single proof that the earth is
round like a ball. No one has yet
come forward with the proof.
Believers in Mr.. McClelland's the
ory can't understand why the astron-
3mers don't come forward If they have
any evidence that the earth is a
globe.
Failing in his attempts to get up
debate with astronomers, Mr.. McClel-
land Is going to give a lecture in
Hamilton on astronomy, and he has
invited Toronto and Hamilton astron-
nmers to take seats on the platform.
II any OF them accept the invitation,
oe hopes to get them to discuss the
question publicly.
A week or so ago Rev. DR.. Marsh q
Hamilton astronomer of some repute,
gas advertised to give lecture there
N the planetary system. Hoping to
te able to get a word in somewhere,
Mr. McClelland journeyed to Hamilton
md attended the lecture.
When DR.. Marsh and his friends
heard that he was In the hall, they
soiled his plans by taking up all the
lime themselves, and Mr.. McClelland
hdn't get chance to say a word

 Inspection by competent officials of perishable food products is now deem- ed essential, and strict supervision of the milk supply conceded to be mat ter of paramount importance. The re- lation of this most important food product to the health of a community. especially infants, is apparent, even to the laity.
 Stewart, has rendered valuable service in the inspection of daries and vigilance in carrying into effect all ordinances of the city relating to sale or exchange of milk The law has been fearlessly and honestly enforced, and our city Is to be congratulated on having such thorough and systematic inspection.

 Regular inspections have been made of all the dairies supplying milk to the city, either direct to consumers or sell ing their product at wholesale, careful attention being given to the quality of the food furnished the milch cows. The water supply was carefully exam ined to see that 1t was pure and whole some, a nd in no manner liable to com taminate the milk.
 "The inspector has insisted on per- sonal cleanliness of those doing the milking or handling the milk, proper cleansing of all vessels used to convey or hold milk, and frequent scalding out of the milk rooms. He has carefully inspected the barns and surroundings.
