OUR THIRSTY WORLD.
It May In Time Guip Down Every Drop
Of Water We Possess.

Of Water We Possess.
Scientists have long declared that
the earth will dry up and become as
barren and dismal as the noon. But
there is no occasion to worry about
this, since it will not occur for more
millions Of years probably than we
can count.
In regard to the present dried up
condition Of the moon, it used to
be believed that the moon at one
time had a plentiful supply of wa
ter, but that the great heat develop
ed on either side as the moon was
turned to the sun on alternate sides
fourteen days at a stretch gradually
e%vaporated the water. This vapor
Of evaporation did not fall back to
the moons surface, it was claimed,
because the moons gravity wat not
sufficient to hold it, and so the
vapor constantly thrown off by
centrifugal motion gradually left
the moon barren and dry.
But the new theory now held by
great scientists is also held to be ap-
plicable to the earth, and that what
really happened to the moon will
happen to this planet in the course
Of time-an almost unthinkable
amount Of time.
This theory is that q crystal Of
any sort, a lump Of rock salt or
quartz or limestone contains q great
proportion Of water. If these things
are heated in a retort the water is
recovered and the crystal becomes
a powder. Now, if this powder is
placed near water it will absorb
while cooling quite a lot Of it.
The interior of the moon being at
one time extremely hot, so hot that
it was q molten mass, > cooling
process was started then, and in
cooling the natural demand was for
water in order for them to form
their crystals. The water seeped
down through the crust Of the moon,
and finally it vas in that manner all
used up.
This is the manner in which this
theory is applied to the earth. Our
great oceans bring q powerful pres
sure to bear upon the earth's crust,
and because of subterranean vol
canoes in various parts Of the Pa
cifc ocean we know water is gradu-
ally seeping into the heated interior
Of the earth.
The earth continues to lose its
heat by radiation, and this brings
about . shrinkage and cracking Of
the old crust, as demonstrated now
and then by great earthquakes and
volcanic er%uptions. This in turn
makes a communication between
the water of the earth's crust and
the cooling mass inside, these things
being afinities. And 90 it is claim
ed all the earth's water must gradu-
ally seep into the interior and go
into the formation of crystals. Even
then it is claimed there will not be
sufficient water to cool and crystal
lie all the molten mass inside
