back surface skim, which reminds the English
that he has precarious hold of his usually
genial climate. 1t is through mere geological &C.
cident that Great Britain is such comfortable
place to live in. Vladivostok, in the Far East,
is 900 miles nearer to the Equator, and yet 1T Is
ice-bound during great part of the year. on
the west, the winter of Quebec is as cold as that
of st. Petersburg, although Quebec lies further
south than London. At the mouth Of the Hayes
River, in Hudson Bay, ice is found everywhere
on digging four feet down, even in the middle OF
summer. And this spot is in the same latitude
as the south of Scotland.
OF course, the main factor on which the tenn
perature of a place depends is its distance from
the Equator. How, then, does it happen that
England is so favored by Nature? There are
several reasons. Warm ocean currents flow to-
wards its western shores, coming up from the
southwest. If England were on the eastern side
of great continent she would be frozen out by
the icy ocean streams flowing down from the
Polar regions. At the present time the islands
are just situated so that the Gulf Stream washes
its coasts bringing the warmth it has acquired
while travelling up the South American shores
and through the Gulf of Mexico.
Then, also, there is the curious geographical
fact that the greater part of the dry land OF
the earth exists in the Northern hemisphere,
Much of this land is in temperate and tropical
zones and, so situated, land has far greater
warming effect on the atmosphere than has water.
These are the chief reasons why England is
such pleasant place to live in. But 1T might
easily have been otherwise, and the best proof
of this is the fact that it once was otherwise.
Not so very long ago, as time is measured by
geoogsts, Great Britain was sunk under the sea
and covered with vast icebergs Great isolated
boulders and blocks are found, which were
brought long distances in icebegs and deposited
in the British Islands. Then, by some movement
in the earth's crust, the NQuntry was lifted out
of the sea, and the remain5er Of the dry land
was SO arranged that quite genial climate pre-
vailed. Forests grew, and ANIMALS of temperate
and warm climates Aourished But once more
the land sank, and was again covered with ice
and snow. The geology Of the district round
Cromer clearly proves these facts. Near Ipswich,
and al Bridlington, in Yorkshire too, shells have
been found of animals which live only in Arctic
temperatures

Britain was therefore, frozen over twice 10

is difficult for us to imagine this fertile land
snow-covered wilderness. But the event needs no
miracle All that is necessary, according to Pro-
fessor Dove, is the occurrence of the following
conditions: ~ y:
First, the diversion of the Gulf Stream from its
present course, which could be brought about by
the formation Of volcanic island or the linking
up of Cuba with Florida.
Secondly, the depression of Northern and West
ern Europe by 500 feet. This would let in cold
current from the north which would freeze the
country solid A
If these things happened, Professor Dove says,
the perpetual snow line would be only thousand
feet high, even in Western Ireland, and glaciers
would reach to the sea. a Fl
