The late William James startled old
timers by announcing that truth is still
in the making, and that all of It has not
been discovered yet. Prof. Wegener or
Marburg now applies this thesis to the
geographical location of Cambridge by
assuring astronomers that the Harvard
observatory Is about 14O yards farther
from the observatory at Greenwich than
1t was twenty-six years ago. Here is
surely the last straw laid on the back
Of the ancient theory Of terra firma"
on which everybody could depend. The
first was deposited when Copernicus and
Gallileo took the earth from its central
position and set 1t whirling through space.
Then came q whole series OF revised YER
stons as to its shape and behavior. 1t
used to be settled that its pointing axis
never varied; the geometricians who
follow its movements now have a con-
f1rmed wobbler on their hands. We see
the once round earth transformed be-
fore our eyes into a strange sort Of COM
The old geologists were persuaded that
its land contours had remained the same
from time immemorial; the new geolo-
gists not only show sinkings and rsings
in every part Of the planet-they hint at
mysterious daily heavings and fallings
of its surface. The Marburg professor
adds to these overturnings a sensation
all his own. He pictures the continents
as approaching and receding from each
other in absolute disregard of public
opinion.
But AL science Is just Of this type
in the making and never really made.
Matter itself was once an settled as
