WHAT Ais THE EARTH3

This young century's appalling record
of calamlties has been added to by the
destruction OF the city OF Kingston on
the island of jamaica, by
and fire, as In the case of san FRAN
cisco and Valparaiso. Jamaica is inc
largest of the British West Indian
islands. situated about 90 miles south
of Cuba. The length of the island is
about 15O miles. and It's width is given
as 80 miles. The full extent OF the ca
lamity that has overtaken It's cher city
is perhaps not yet fully known, but 1t
IS evident that the loss of life ant prop
erty is enormous, for the size OF the
country.
From Manila come reports OF a dew
astating typhoon which is said to nave
swept the islands of Leyte and Samar'
causing the loss of n hundred lives IN
Inc first named island, and immense
damage to property IN Its path as
communication with the Islands visit
Cd by the storm was cut off, fun par
cular had not been received, when
the report was sent from Mauila.
II is plain to all that we are living
IN a time of unusual vlsitations. 1t is
clear that there Is some Worldwide
cause for the disturbances that are
occurring so frequently, but what Is
that cause? II has been observed late
ly that huge icebergs have broken away
from the Antarctic regions and hoated
farther north than such masses OF ice
generally do. II is stated that sailors
have observed hat the water around
the equator. on both sides of South
America. has lately been ten degrees
colder than the average. n the
change of temperature is ascrihed 10
the vast quantity OF Antarctic ice
which has recently fioated equator
ward. Is 1t possible. 1t is asked, that
the axis of the earth is changing posi-
ton ana tina the result ia seen In the
disturbances of the present time?
A recent scientific theory claims that
the North pole once was somewhere IN
Canada, and that the South pole, OF
course. at that time also had n position
different from It's present location
The present polar ceglons had a tern
perato climate, as proved by the re-
mains Of animals found there now,
bedded in Ice and snow. Then, the
earth. IT Is said. changed its axis. inc
polar regions were moved ana
MS n consequence OF this change
in the rotation of our globe
the glacial period of the earth occurred
The vast ice masses that had ac-
cumulated at the Pole were
scattered over n large portion
OF the earth's surface. The Ice
flowed from the northern parts OF this
continent out into the Atlantic, over
sceland, the Scandinavian peninsula,
and into Russia, and part Of It
branched out over Europe in a south
rrly direction.
This theory ls referred 10 only as a
theory. The variability of u.e earth's
axis is only recently observed aud the
data are not sufficient to furnish basis
for conclusions tina can be recommend
ed for lnfalibiliiy. But the fact that
tho entire globe Is IN comlnotlon and
that tho Antarctic regions are sending
forth ice masses into the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans, IA suggested the ques-
lion whether another shifting of the
poles is taking placo, Involving. It may
Dc, radical changes IN the physical con
aitions of the earth.

Possessed of Samsonlike strength. Al
bert Fisher OF Quebec saved his life by
a remarkable exhibition of his power.
Fisher was employed at a stone crush
or. and his duties consisted OF feeding
rocks into the huge machine, 10 aid
this he stood on a platform just above
tho crusher. He had just dropped a
hfty-pound boulder into the machine,
when his foot slipped and he fell head
long between the steel jaws. No per-
son was near TO stop the engine.
Bracing his shoulders against the steel
crushers. which were slowly closing,
the sturdy workman exerted all his
great strength in one powerful effort.
For a moment the machine stopped,
then the massive sides drew apart, and
finally there was a rending OF tho steel
joints. and the crusher fell to pieces.
