ance with the laws of the universe
 that the center of gravity is strongest at this point.
 MT Reeds theories are practically reasonable and clear. One is haunted with his conclusion and impressed witf
 his beliefs to such an extent that con viction seems at once to result. Every thing appears carefully weighed in his
 search after truth, and it to be found in the course of investigation, that his theory is correct, what an enlight- ment it will prove to mankind and science! WARMER NEAR THE POLES. The open water near the poles kept Nansen busy guessing as it was warm CT, and he was positive that it came from the Lena. Several focks of eider-ducks were seen in the course of day." says Nansen. We ought to have land to the north of us. Can it be that which is keeping back the ice"
 Here Mir Reed says: "The Lena is a river in Seberia, and its waters are no warmer than those of any other river in that country. Again, the Lena is on the opposite side of the pole from where Nansen was, and the distance between the two points is consider able. He remarks that he was sailing far away to the north, when he was surely in the interior of the earth, some distance past the turning point"
 Kane gives some interesting infor- nation on this subject, which Mir Reed quotes; "The farthest point attained by our party, was Cape Independence, "a precipitous headland. It was only touched by William Morton who left his dogs, and made his way to it along the coast. From it the western coast was seen, stretching away toward the north, with an iceless horizon, and a heavy swell rolling in with whitecaps. At height of five hundred feet above the sea this great expanse still present. ed all the appearance of an open and iceless sea. Crowds of migratory birds were observed thronging its waters"
 "One of the principal proofs that the earth is hollow" declares MT Reed, "is that it is warmer near the poles. To what do we attribute the heat? It is reasonable to suppose that it comes from the interior of the earth, as that seems to be the only place from which it could come. All about this region," he further assert, seals. ducks, and animal life abound in great numbers as seen by Capt Hall and others."
 Greeley writes of much vegetation upon some of the islands they visited.
 Eight varieties of flowers were seen, and musk-oxen were quietly graz ing about three-quarters of a mile away, sloping hills were crowded with vegetation the familiar butter-cups and countless Arctic poppies of luxuri- ant growth. Eider-ducks were in great numbers. :"
 Mir Reed asks, From what place had those birds come? South of them for many miles, the earth is covered with perpetual snow, thousands of feet deep. They are found in that To- cation in summer and as it is warmer farther north, they would not be likely to migrate to a colder climate in win ter" he believes, "they pass into the interior of the earth, as far as suits their nature. Swarms of auks were al. so seen-so plentiful that they dark ened the Arctic regions. Their little voices were often heard from distance of four or five miles.
 DRIFTWOOD.
 "DriftWod and other material found on the northern sides of the shores bor- dering the Arctic Ocean, :" writes MT Reed, furnish further proof that the earth is hollow" Greeley writes that large coniferous tree, thirty inches in circumference, and thirty feet long. was found on beach. It was cut up for frewood, and a bright, cheery campfire, gave comfort to the party. Much other drift-wood was found near the high-water mark.
 This drift-wood, MT Reed thinks, must have come from the interior of the earth; as it had open water to
