$4,000 cubic miles OF ice. all of
which is formed by water distracted
from the ocean. This would reduce
the level of the ocean the world over
$50 feet and add to the northern part
of the continents two to three times
the weight of the entire land surfaces
of North America and Europe which
are above sea level. This additional
weight would be such a powerful at
tracing force that it would lower the

more
The weight Of this ice over every
square mile would be 100000. 900
tons. which would have to be multi
piled by 6,O0O,OOO to get the total
amount. This is probably enough to
cause the crust Of the earth to sink
under it when the ice accumulated
and to allow it to rise again when it
had melted of. This perhaps of itself
accounts for the great changes Of
level in the northern hemisphere
which have taken place since the be-
ginning of the glacial period.
The spring freshets of this glacial
period were of enormous dimensions

tanned, the Missouri river to rise an

sometimes does now.

sofa as he is now doing In Greenland
and Alaska.
The glaciers OF the world are now
nearly all retreating. The front of the
Muir, which visited In 1886. and
have described in my Ice Age in
North America" is now three miles
farther back than it was at that time
and, according to all accounts. 1t is
30 miles farther back than it was
when Vancouver discovered 1t 100
years ago.
We are not so far separated from
the glacial period as 1t would seem
to the casual observer. Probably 1t
would require but slight increase Of
snowfall. combined with a slight low
ering OF the temperature. to cause
glaciers again to form on the White
mountains and in Labrador and the
already existing glaciers to begin a
readvance. When once begun 1t would
be difficult to tell when the advance
would stop, for glaciers of them
selves tend to lower the temperature
and to increase the snowfall. When
we reflect upon the way the heat of
the tropics is distributed by the Gulf
stream and the Japanese current. 1t
is not difficult to see how compare
lively slight changes in land level at
fecting the course of the oceanic cur
rents might bring on a glacial period
again. But of any tendency Ia this
direction we have no evidence.
