The Shape of the Earth.

Professor Love at the Leicester
meeting of the British Scientific
association attacked in the ma;he-
matical section the problem OF the
present shape of the earth and the
reason for the distribution of conti-
nents and oceans.
Certain characteristics of this dis
tribution stood out in a marked way,
when examined on a map OF the
world-the tapering shapes OF Africa
and of South America, for example,
or the great bulk of the Pacific
ocean. Why was there this one
sided sort of distribution of land and
water?
Professor Love suggested that 1t
was due to the fact that the center
of the earth was not its center of
gravity, and that for many ages
there had been an endeavor on the
part of the earth to adjust its mass
and its weight. Stripped OF its
oceans, which clung to 1t as a drop
of water clings to a greasy spot, the
original sphere of the earth would
be found deformed into a sort OF
irregular, pear-shaped surface. The
stalk of the pear was in the southern
part of Australia. and contained
Australasia and the Antarctic conti-
nent. This was surrounded on all
sides but one Coward South Ameri-
ca) by a zone of depression-the
waist of the pear. This. again, was

surrounded on all sides save one Ito.
ward Japan by a zone Of elevation
the protuberant part OF the pear.
And finally we found the nose OF
the pear in the central Atlantic be-
tween the Madeiras and the Bermu-
das. The earth was no longer gravi-
nationally unstable; II had settled
down; and the oceans had settled in
to the hollows best afforded them by
the earth's shape. But earthquakes
still occurred and would occur, and
might be considered as OF the nature
OF a relief of the strain induced by
the earth's long-sustained efforts to
settle it's mass.
There was also to be considered
the effect of the slowly diminishing
speed of the earth's rotation. This
had had a double effect. II had
helped to dimish the tendency or
the earth's oceans TO draw toward
the equatorial regions, while. on the
other hand, it had produced an act
ual reduction of the equatorial pro-
tuberance of the earth's figure. Thus
also had been produced seismic ac-
tivity in the earth's efforts to adjust
itself to changing conditions, to-
gether with alterations of an ad-
vance OF the oceans a little nearer
the poles and back again.
