the harbor and the Hudson river will

find lateral compressions of the crust,
which tend to cause movements from
below upward. There it is that the
fractures take place.
Regions of Earthquakes.
3. AS the earth's crust grows thicker
the inclined planes between the faces
and the ridges have a marked ten
dency to dislocation. These regions
are gradually rejoining the depths Of
q sort of slow but constant downward
movement There also we expect to
find the regions of earthquakes, and
We shall see that experience confirms
this view. In the course of geological
times other very important wrinkles
have been produced here and there.
These generally tend to a direction
perpendicular to the primitive frac-
lures.
AS for the parts of the crust which
lie in the inclined planes in the neigh
borhood of volcanic regions, they will
always, because of their tendency to
slip down among the parts that have
already fallen, be subject. to falling
movement, and will be specially ia
vored in the way of earthquakes.
1t is thus that my theory has the
advantage of explaining, the double
phenomenon of volcano and earth
quake by the process of the contrac-
ton of the earth. And We shall see
how experience absolutely confirms
this theory.
Let us take up the terrestrial globe
on which we marked the ridges and
the apexes of our pyramid. Around
these resisting points the continents
have been formed and the lines of dis
location will be easy to recognize. Vol

around just those points that mark
the limits Of the broken parts. AS this

creases its speed of rotation. The
three great apeXes or SUBMITS of the
northern hemisphere arose very early
and as they were further away from
the center of the earth than regions
further to the south they, for this
reason, dragged behind; and so all the
southern part of the globe accelerated
its rotary movement in respect to the
northern part; hence, dislocation

is also found along this one of the
most sharply accentuated of volcanic
lines.
AS for the earthquakes, the area
that they cover is, as the theory
would lead us to expect, much vaster
in extent. In fact, they occupy those
regions that may be compared to In.
clined planes. They are, to a certain
extent, independent of the volcanoes,
and intimately related to the steep in
clines Of the earth's surface. This
explains the fact that the centers of

become of our globe? When the pres
sure upon the internal core shall be
felt perpetually, how will those gases
behave which are compressed in that
immense reservoir from which we are
separated by such an Insignificant
crust?. Terrific commissions will then
menace our miserable planet.
Ask an astronomer to show you the
tormented and shattered face of our
satellite; the surface of the moon
shows us, very probably, the desolate
aspect of a world in which volcanic
action, in the spasms of frightful
agony, has put an end to all planetary
life.
Cataclysms will transform our earth
and at that time the volcanoes of the
central plateau will warn mankind that
the stability of the earth is vain
word. Everything passes, everything
changes, nothing is stable, except He
who created the world and who gives
to men when it pleases him such
grand and terrible lessons.
The Able Moreux in his article goes
into details of what these changes that
he describes are likely to do to Eu
rope. American readers will find it
more interesting to consider what will
be their effect upon North America.
Applying the abbe's reasoning, it is
possible to make a forecast. Physical
geographers tell us that the great
chains of mountains which stretch
from Canada to South Carolina were
thrown up at very early periods,
though separated by relatively wide
intervals. The oldest rocks on the
continent are those of the Laurentian
mountains, in Quebec. The Adiron.

South America to the south pole, is,

out law. 1t had always been believed
that the ups and downs of the sur.
face were formed rather by chance
until Lowthian Green, about 40 years
ago, suggested the general process by
which the continents were formed,
writes the Able Moreux, curator Of
the observatory at Bruges, Belgium, in
the New York World. At first treated
with derision, Green's theory at last
came under the high patronage of M.
de Lapparent in France. From the
point of view of the astronomer, many
points remained to be cleared up. This
is the work which l, in collaboration
with my friend Col. du Ligondes, have
succeeded in accomplishing in these
last few years. In 1902 l indicated
just what might be drawn from the
sketch made by Green to explain the
theory of volcanoes and earthquakes.
A few lines will suffice to make the
reader understand the hypothesis.
The earth is round, of that there is
no doubt; it's rotary movement has
swollen it at the equator and f1attened
it at the poles. Such is the general
formula which has now become clas-
sic. But it's volume diminishing from
the effects of cooling, the earth has
reached the condition of a balloon

shape of a pyramid with four faces

The Terrestrial Globe.
Examine a terrestrial globe. Three
of the faces are represented by de-
pressions-the hollow of the Pacific,
the Atlantic ocean and the Indian
ocean. To these depths correspond
over the sixtieth parallel north three
of the apexes of our pyramid, which
became prominent very early, as the
vast layers of primeval rocks bear wit
ness. These are the Canadian height,
that of the Baltic and that of Siberia,

from Irkutsk. From these three apexes

terruption, continue to the South Pole.
Since the voyage of hansen We have
known that the fourth face of the
pyramid can be placed in the great
Arctic basin, while the Antarctic con-
tehent forms the fourth apex of our
pyramid.
1t is around these ridges and these
apexes, which have remained stable
throughout the great geological peri
DDS and have formed so to speak, the

Since December % biologists and
astronomers have submitted to many
an interview. The explanations given
by the former have often seemed in
sufficient, while the latter have gen.
orally avoided the subject. 1t may
seem presumption on the part of an
astronomer to go to work in territory
reserved for biologists, but to what
science should we have recourse for
the story of the earth's past. Has not

Way? Better than geology, then, as
tronomy is the science which projects
the light of present times upon the
mysteries of the past.
Millions of years ago our humble
little earth shone with it's own light,
a blazing star; it also warmed it's

but in its dizzy course around the sun,
in its intersidereal voyage among the
consultations of heaven, like the sun,

it's original heat has quickly been dis
