EARTH IS FLAT

LONDON. July 30. Lady BIount
wife of Sir Walter Blount, Bart, and
chief champion of the flat earth the
ory, is preparing for a visit to the
United States. Accompanied by her
private secretary, DR.. c. de Lacy
Evans, Ph.D., M. r. C. S., Lady Blount
leaves England early in August, hop
ing before her return to convince large
numbers of Americans that the familiar
doctrine of Columbus in regard to the
earth's shape is an absurd fallacy. New
York will be the first place visited and
from there her ladyship will go as far
West as Chicago, stopping at most of
the principal intermediate cities to de-
liver lectures and distribute literature
Lady Blount'S principal fad for
number of years has been this belief
that we are living on vast floating
surface with a secure anchorage In
trenched behind some clever arguments
she has carried on relentless war
against the orthodox teachings of sci
ence, from platform and in her writ
iEgs declaring that nothing is farther
from the truth than astronomy as it is
now taught. At considerable expense
she has made interesting tests to dis
prove "globuiar" idea and is perfectly
willing to undertake the American
without any guarantee of out
side financial help.
Lady BIount's doctrine has been ac-
cepted by many people in England and
the United States. These believers she
has organized into The Universal Ze-
tetic Society" and for some time Lady
Blount has been that society's presi-
dent. Dr. de Lacy Evans. the private
secretary before mentioned. is the or

Why this news had not reached here

reason appears to be that the Ieyo

fortunes of its vessels from the public,
in view of its intention to resume SER

city and the Orient.
When Admiral Togo and his magnifi-
