TEMPERATURE ONCE UNIFORM
Early Condition Of the Globe That Ao-
counts for Deposits Of Coal Near
South Pole.

AS a general statement, it may be
said that the suns rays heat the
earth and that the earth heats the
air, but the extent to which this goes
will depend much on the clearness Of
the atmosphere. The clearer this is
the more the rays of the sun will
pass through it without losing their
heat. Obviously, the cloudier or
thicker the air the more the sun rays
will be absorbed.
Conversely, on the brightest nights
the earth will lose the most heat
from radiation, and, becoming cold
er than the atmosphere, moisture
from this will be deposited in the
form Of dew.
In the younger days of the earth,
when the seas were boiling hot, and
perhaps for millions Of years after
ward while they were gradually
growing cooler, there must have been
an atmosphere so surcharged with
steam as to prevent completely the
passage inward of any heat rays, OF
outward radiation. AS a necessary
consequence of these conditions there
is supposed to have been one uni
formly hot temperature all over thu
earth, there being no difference be
tween what are now the tropics an(
the arctic regions.
When the temperature had falleT
sufficiently to allow the development
of the gigantic ferns hal were t,
form our coal deposits, things grew
as luxuriously in what we nov cal
the temperate and arctic zones as a
the equator. Consequently, Their
was nothing very surprising at tn
discovery Of a vast deposit Of Goa
by Lieutenant Shackleton not ia
distant from the south pole.

Mount Etna,

Mount Etna is one of the great vol
canoes of the earth. 1t is great In size,
great In activity, great in beauty. In
size 1t would cover the entire metro
politan district of New York and the
surrounding counties. Its height is
1900 feet above sea level. AS to its
power, one of these eruptions some
centuries ago killed $4,000 people,
which is probably more than vesuvius
has ever done In all its existence as
volcano, not excepting the great
eruption Of 70 A. D.. which destroyed
the cities of Herculaneum and Pom
peii. AS to its beauty, this is also
very difficult to describe. 1t is teeming
with life. animal and vegetable, and is
snow covered one-half the year. The
other half 1t is bare to its very sum-
