A NEW THEORY.

new, entirely new, so far as W
know. theory of creation from
scientific standpoint. All th
scientists have been telling tn
world for couple of hundred year
or more that originally the worlc
was ball of FIRE, that il gradual,
cooled down until it got to the poin
where man could walk round OF
it in his bare feet without burning
the soles of his understanding and
then it became inhabited. How,
ever the scientists gave it ont that
man originally started from proto'
plasm and gradually developed into
a tadpole and from that to a frog
and then on gradually until there
was a race of short tailed monkeys
and finally came man.
Campbell proceeds to prove that
the old theory is all wrong, that as
a matter of fact the world was or
iginally created from comet dust
collected by electricity and as the
ball gathered the pressure finally
became so terrific that it generated
a heat at the center of the earth
sufficient to melt the material that
made up that part or the new
world AT this time the earth was
covered with water as the Scripture
indicates. As the interior of the
earth was fused by the heat it ex-
banded asa matter of course and
blew up the continents. The east
ern continent was the first one
blown up and after that the western
Before that time all the land there
was was somewhere about the poles.
Before the eastern continent was
heaved out OF the water the earth,
according to Mr.. Campbell, was
rolling square with the sun.
When this land was blown up it
tipped the earth over to oneside,
threw il off its axis, as it were.
Up to that time the region round
about tn. pole had been a right
pleasant place to live. The sun
never went down. 1t was a region
of perpetual day and the climate
was mild and even. Vast numbers
of huge animals grazed on the lux
uriant vegetation and a prehistoric
race of men lived on the polar con
tinent, There the Garden of Eden
was located and there Adam and
Eve lived, were tempted. fell from
grace and were banished. When
the world tipped over however there
was lightning change. Suddenly
that part OF the world was in utter
darkenss and the climate was sud.
denly changed from semi-tropical
TO frigid. The waters Of the ocean
also suddenly swept over the land
and all OF the animals persisted.
To prove his theory Mr. Camp
bell cites the fact that the remains
Of these prehistoric monsters have
been found wei, preserved in the
ice in the Attic regions and that in
their stomachs has been found the
green herbage showing
hat they were caught when they
were feeding. When the continents
