MOVING TOWARD CHINA,

America, 1t Said, Is Being Pushed
Westward by Ice Pressure.
1t may be news to most people that
North America has travelled from Eu-
rope across the Atlantic to it's present
position on the globe and that it is
still moving toward China.
According to the calculations of Pro-
fessor Wegener of Marburg, Germany.
North America in the last. twenty-six
years has moved 295 feet away from
Europe, and Greenland in eighty-four
years has Travelled the appreciate dis
lance of 3,OS3 feet. also away from
Europe. Professor Wegener believes
that this movement westward is due
to surface pressure exerted by ice.
Not only does this pressure force the
continent or island upon which it is
exerted to sink; but. just as a lot of
cakes Of ice lying upon each other in a
pan of water move the lower strata of
the ice cakes sideways, so does surface
pressure of ice force an island or even
continent to move sideways. Green
land. so much smaller than the North
American continent and loaded down
more heavily with ice because of its
northern latitude, would move much
| more rapidly than our own continent,
as it actually does, if Professor Veg
eners computations be correct.
If Professor Wegener be right, then
it is not merely possible, but probable.
that America and Europe were at one
time either one and the same continent
or so close together that even the rude
craft and meager seamanship of the
early Hebrews and Phoenicians could
carry men and women from one CONT
nent to the other.
The average breadth of the Atlantic
ocean is about 5000 miles. Each mile
contains $3.50 feet. A simple arith-
methical problem gives us the extraor-
binary result that, supposing North
America to have travelled at the same
speed in the past as in the present. it
took our continent 100000 years to
accomplish the journey to it's present
site. The idea is fantastic one. It
suggests that in about 100000 years,
If the present speed be kept up, the
Pacific coast of America may bump
against Japan and China, thus obliter-
ating the Pacific ocean or leaving it
merely chain of lakes.-New York

BASEBALL FOR HoNEsDALE.

That Honesdale will have a
sure base ball team this year is now
almost an assured fact for N. B.
Spencer has taken up the work of
organizing with will. For time
the prospects looked rather dubious
but they are growing brighter every
day. Mr.. Spencer has been assured
of much financial backing from the
local business men and if enough
money can be raised the grounds
near the silk mill will be scraped
and leveled; the grand stand renew
ed and new bleachers put in. 1t is
proposed to change the home plate
around so that the right foul line
will be the corner of the silk mill.
Saturday afternoon last few
good fans were talking over the
possibilities and finally became so
enthusiastic that our friend, Nick
Spencer, whom the Citizen first
doomed as the proper man for man
ager, started out to find just what
the sentiment of some of the local
enthusiasts was, and found so much
enthusiasm, and of the dig down in
their pocket" kind that it is almost a
sure thing that our newspaper base
ball team will be a reality in the
near future. In fact our hustling
manager Spencer has already sent
out his lines for a game for next
Saturday, and will have repaired the
bleachers and cleaned the grounds
by that time. OF course all this
means money and we understand
that everyone is to have the privilege
of contributing to the cause.
1t is the intention to use a few
White Mills players, and we under
stand that they are willing. The fol-
lowing is list of some of the play
ers who have been mentioned: Loll
of White Mills, pitcher of the very
best rank for amateur ball, and the
old reliable Bennie Hessling, Sander
cock, Weaver, Larson and Wenders,
of White Mills; Brader, Mangan,
Dudley, Schilling and Curtis.

DIR. FRANKLIN ON
GUNBOAT "CARONDOLET." :"

DR.. J. H. Franklin, of Philadel-
phia, who is spending a few weeks
in Honesdale, is a veteran of the
Civil war, having served his country
both on land and water. He enlisted
at Cincinnati, Ohio, as a hospital
steward and was afterwards trans
ferred to Nashville, Tenn. He was
then placed in the navy. DR.. Frank
lin did service on the gunboat Car
ondolet'' two months and was then
made hospital steward, having charge
of the sick bay on the boat. Often
times in the absence of DR.. Bannon,
surgeon in charge, DR.. Franklin was
left in full charge of the hospital
ward on board the vessel.
During the fight on the Mississippi
the Carondolet, which was an iron
clad and the strongest of six iron
clads of the fleet, captured several
places. Vicksburg was captured af-
ter two weeks of hard and terrible
fighting. Other places taken were
Grand Gulf, Yazoo River, Island No.
10, Deer Creek, Rolling Fork and
other places.
The Carondolet was equipped with
eight inch guns, four guns on the
port and starboard sides of the boat,
and twelve inch guns in the bow.
The Carondolet always took the lead
in the conflict and was never dis
abled.
DR.. Franklin said it was a cruel
and barbarous war and only those
who participated in it really know
about it. While fighting on land it
was a common occurrence to sleep
| between two dead men to keep the
cold and chilly winds from blowing
over one, take stone or fence rail
for pillow and lay on wet and hard
ground. These were experiences DR..
Franklin and others had while doing
duty between Nashville and Chata-
nooga. DR.. Franklin had three
brothers enlist in the Sth Pennsylva-
mia cavalry and all survived the war.
