with my friend Col. du Ligondes, have
succeeded in accomplishing in these
last few years. In 1902 1 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
from which the gas is escaping little
by little. 1t is tending toward the
shape of a pyramid with four faces
and four apexes.
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 1nSS0 are the CdndQldn n0lSnl,
that of the Baltic and that of Siberia,
the center of which is found not far
from Irkutsk. From these three apexes
radiate, like continental backbones.
branches which, with more or less in
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-
tinent forms the fourth apex of our
pyramid.
1t is around these ridges and these
spexes, which have remained stable
throughout the great geological peri
DDS and have formed, SO to speak, the
skeleton of the dry land, that what
may be called the slow revolutions of
the globe will continue to take place.
All the general phenomena of the sur
face of the earth can be explained by
three species of movements:
1. Each face of the pyramid in it's
center follows the core in it's con-
traction. Thus, it is a sinking move
ment which has formed the great de-
preSsionS of the oceans.
2. At the edges of the faces, that
is to say, round about the ridges, we
find lateral compressions of the crust.
which tend to cause movements from

there formed crust, which impris-
oned within it core, gaseous, liquid
and at high temperature. The geo.
logical periods began, life appeared
in the warm waters, while the cold,
ever at work. was necessarily causing
the internal mass to contract, soon the
shell became too large for the liquid
mass inside, and it was then that the
wrinkles appeared in the bark-those
ridges which later were to give birth
to our ranges of mountains.
But nothing in nature is made with
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

the observatory at Bruges, Belgium in

with derision- Green's theory at last

point of view of the astronomer, many
points remained to be cleared up. This

Since Decembers % biologists and

by the former have often seemed in

Millions of years ago our humble
little earth shone with its own light,
a blazing star; it also warmed it's
satellite, just as the sun to-day dis
penses to us its light and its heat;
but in its dizzy course around the sun,
in its intersiderea1 voyage among the
consultations of heaven, like the sun,
it never repasses the same place, and
its original heat has quickly been dis
sipated by contact with the cold of
space, which modern science estimates
at 273 degrees Centrigrade below zero.

THE ROMANCE OF THE CHEST
Article Of Furniture Often Mentioned
in Old Books and Manuscripts.

The term Golfer" is rightly applied
only to the very earliest specimens OF
these boxes, when they had but a sin
gle panel and were bound with iron
or made of great strength. Such ar
ticles as these are called in old books
and manuscripts "trussing chests or
standards. Hutch" was another
term applied to these standing chests,
and they were so important that you
cannot read any of those valuable old
records like 1.-The Pastor Letters or
Howell's letters nor the records of our
own early settlers without finding
many references to the chest, begin
ming with that small kind known as a
bible box and running through all
the varieties which could be brought
or made here. Although the chest
grew into the chest of drawers, the
simple box-like form remained in use
till about 1910, for l still find them re-
corded in inventories and wills till
about that date
Italian chests or "cassoni" were al
ways gems of art On them not only
the artist artisan, like the carver and
inlayer, displayed his best handiwork,
but the artist himself painted on them
loves and cupidones, masks and must
cal instruments, flowers and festoons,
letting his fancy have full play when
it was applied to a marriage chest or
one of those elegant little Golfers in
which some noble lady kept her store
of create pearles," her girdles and
rings, her chains filed with jewels of
brilliant color and great worth. Such
chests had ponderous locks concealed
to some extent amid the ornament or
within the chest itself.

from the water But the line which
Father Moreux calls the American
ridge, beginning in Hudson bay and
extending through the West Indies and
South America to the south pole, is,
roughly speaking, the backbone OF the
continent and follows the general line
of the Appalachian chain This part
of the country is destined to rise even
higher, while the central plateau, from
the great lakes to the Gulf of Mexico,
forming as it does one of the areas of
least resistance, will be submerged.
New Works. Probable Fate.
And what of New York? The geol-
ogists tell us that the city lies on the
edge of an enormous fault, the Pali-
sades of the Hudson having been thrown
up by some giant organism of nature
while the land to the east of them
dropped, the actual line of breakage
being the bed of the Hudson. Any
further shock at this point would in
tensify this life of the Palisades and
this drop of the land to the east of
them, so the prospect is that some day
the harbor and the Hudson river will
rise and engulf the city.
The Rocky mountains, while COM
paratively distinct from the principal

a duplication of it. They were thrown
up by a fearful cataclysm, which left

those in the United States are con-

the gulf between them and the Allie
ghanieS.
Thus will the union be disrupted

lantic states!

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

have been formed and the lines of dis

around just those points that mark
the limits of the broken parts AS this
is on Mercator's projection, the sphere
spread out into a plane, the three
ridges of the pyramid have become,
like the meridians, parallel lines.
Alongside the great American ridge
an uninterrupted volcanic line is seen
Around the second are grouped the
volcanic districts of Iceland and Jan
Mayen, the extinct volcanoes of Au-
vergne lin France), the volcanic re-
gions of Sicily and eastern Africa. A
third line, which joins the first by
way of the Aleutian islands, surrounds
the third ridge, and this is made up of
the volcanic regions of the Kurile
islands, Japan, the East Indies and
New ZealanQ.
Unite at South Pole.
All these files of fire unite at the
south pole around the fourth apex,
which is the Antarctic continent, the
borders of which show US also signs of
the same kind, with the volcanoes Ere
bus and Terror.
But this is not all. You may have
noticed that the three great ridges of
the pyramid tend toward the east.
This is due to wellknown law of me-
chanics, which provides that every
planet which diminishes in volume in
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 alb the

fractures take place.
Regions of Earthquakes.
B. 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
a 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
