Exaggerated Stories of Ger
mony Distress the
Family

Washington, Noy. 22.-The president
and Mrs. Wilson entertained at dinner
in the White House last night in honor
of their daughter, Jessie, and Francis B.
Sayre, who are to be married Tuesday.
1t was the first White House function
given for the young couple.
There is feeling at the White House
that the society writers have been going
too far with their description of the
coming wedding of Miss Jessie Wilson.
The descriptions of superelaborate dec
orations and other alleged extravagances
is quietly resented. Even the brides
wedding cake has been 'overplayed' by
inconsistent writers who are striving TO
take the wedding out of its place as
the simple home ceremony of socially
distinguished man and maid and to make
of it near-royal function.
The wedding cake for example, has
been described as l00-pound confec-
tion, deliberately iced and decorated. 1t
has been said it represents an expendi-
ture running past the $1,000 mark
Nothing could be further from the facts.
The wedding cake is just great big
old fashioned black fruit cake, com
bination of raisins, sultanas, almonds,
eurrants and citron commingled with
sugar and butter, with -four and spices
and eggs, and iced with old fashioned
white sugar icing. II will be the central

From 1874 to 1883 the expenses of
maintaining one child for year was
$79.9s; from 1884 to 1893 it was $SS.6s;
from 1894 to 1908, it was $l0l 45, and

Hop The World Vas Formed.

According to my theory says Gardner,
" the earth originally was u mass of nebulous
matter projected from a nucleus in the form
of a spiral which through centrifugal action
evolved Itself into central nucleus surround
ed BY a ring or wall of nebulous material
that was gradually condensed and cooled until
it became new planet with it's central sun
and polar openings. Every planet originally
was an independent nebula which in the
course of time condensed and took its place
with others held in the solar system by the
attraction of the sun, which is the center of
all their orbits.

Saws the Earth Is Hollop.

The Aurora man. who has spent twenty
years in studying out his theory, asserts that
the earth's interior, instead of being molten
mass of lava, as has been claimed by seien-
fists for ages, Is hollow and contains CEN
tral nucleus or material sun or about 600
miles in diameter. He says this sun is sur
rounded by a corona Of ample depth which
Is inclosed within an envelope of atmosphere;
that this atmosphere is surrounded by vac
rum. and that between this vacuum and the
interior surface of the earth's crust there is
another envelope of atmosphere the thickness
or depth of which is approximately 200 miles,
thus making the diameter of the earth be-
tween its two interior surfaces distance
of 6,400 miles,
BY adding to this amount 16O0 miles, or
twice the thickness of the earth's crust. the
diameter of the earth as measured from its
exterior surface would be 5000 miles.
The author of this remarkable theory de-
elares that instead of north and south pole
there is at each Of these imaginary points
entrance to the earths interior ] 400
miles Ia diameter, or a space sufficiently large
when combined to provide an area ample for
keeping the interior temperature of the earth
in an equable condition. He says that all
other planetary bodies of the solar system are
Substantially of the same general form as is
the earth.

Giant animals; Great Plant Life.

Let us pause to speculate upon the nature
of phenomena and life that may be encoun-
tered in this interior world. Here exists one
unchanging season and continuous period
OF daylight except when certain parts of the
earths interior surface may be partly OBJ
scured by intervening clouds or mists raised
by the suns constant rays. Here the heat
emanating from the central sun does not affect
the temperature to such an extent that
either animal or plant life is placed in jeopar-
dy, because any abnormal condition of this
heat would be dispersed or modified by in
rushing currents of cold air from either or
both entrances to the earth's interior
Here, indeed, we may expect to find
new world, world the surface of which is
probably subdivided, like ours, into continents
oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers. Here, through
the heat of the central sun, plant life NAV
exceed In size and luxuriance any vegetation
that ever grew upon the outside surface of
the earth. Here may be found strange ami

Resuming. journey southYard, it APP
pears reasonable to believe that we should
find conditions somewhat similar to those
upon the earths exterior surface. The
ception noted is that the position of the in
terror sun remains unchanged in its relation
to the earth consequently there is one
tinuous day and no change of season within
the interior of the earth.
" 1t is quite evident that condition of
this kind would be productive of all forms Of
both animal and plant life to much higher
degree than obtains on the outside Of the
earth with its four seasons and extreme
changes of temperature
:" On account of this equablc temperature il
is apparent the central sun provides the
means necessary for propugating vegetable
life to a more luxuriant degree than is pos
sible the exterior surface, that the various
species of land animals which may be found
on the interior surface are through the action
of the central sun upon the interior plant life
developed to more prodigious size as a result
of the more abundant vegetation. and that
this extensive growth is due to the increased
amount of moisture formed by the interior
suns uninterrupted radiation

Continuous Force of Gravity.


:" Now in the case of the polar explorers
the same thing is true. Explorers arrive at
the outer edge. of the great polar opening but
that opening is SO large that the downward
curvature of its edge is not peyeeptible to
them, and its diameter is so great that its
other side is not visible to them. And to the
error that they might fall over the edge |
answer, as the scientists answered the people
who wondered why they did not fall off the
earth when they first heard it was sphere:
The force of gravity holds us in both cases.
" But whereas we are accustomed to think
the force of gravity pulls us toward the CEN
ter of the EARTH because we think it is solid,
as a matter of fact there is instead contnu-
Gus force of gravity throughout the shell of
the earth. and its CENTER if we can still use
that term, is in the center of the earths
crust, distributed equally throughout it's whole
area, and therefore working equally in all
places.
. This gravity, therefore, holds us down to
the surface of the crust on whatever part of
it we may be, and as we journey up to the
polar opening, around the immense curvature
of the eartbs crust at that point and in
along the interior surface we are still held
down to the surface without noticing any diff
ference 1t is this pull of gravity, coming
equally from all directions, that also holds
the interior in its position in the center
of the hollow earth.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-08-03

olutionary theory is that polar exploration has
demonstrated that the old idea of the solid
polar caps is correct because the poles have
been. attained and no such polar openings
were discovered as are there according to my
theory. This objection is based upon misap-
prehension of my argument. [ claim polar
exploration really goes to support my theory
But why did not Peary and other explorers
find these polar openings?
" The reason is simple and can best be in
dicated by asking another question: Why
did man not discover by looking about him
that he was living on the surface of what is,
practically speaking, an immense sphere.
Simply because the SPHERE was SO large he
first thought it was fiat surface. and that
he should move over the surface of it APP
peared so natural that when he was first told
it was sphere he began to wonder why he
did not fall off, as he had no conception of
the law of gravity.

Marshall B. Gardner of Aurora, the seien-
tist in, question, does not say in SO many
words that people live in the middle of the
world. But he makes cireumstantial case
to that effect. 1t is his belief that there is
big sun in the earth's interior, that there
are immense holes where the poles are sup
posed to be, and that the phenomenon of the
aurora borealis and the aurora australis are
the result of the interior sun shining out
through the polar holes.

And an Unsuspected Race.

Here, also, may tread the feet of a race
even unsuspected by us. In fact, the existence
of an interior world, such as described, leads
us to consider possibilities as ad infnitum in
number and character as those suggested at
various times by eminent astronomers and
other learned students of the planets adjacent
to the one upon which we live.
But let us return from the realms of spec
ulation and continue our journey southward
until the semi-circle at the south polar opening
is reached Here it is possible we shall find
conditions practically the same as those en-
countered when the central sun was first OBJ
served by us to be in the zenith As we pro-
eeed around the mi-cirele of the earth's
crust, however, the sun will appear to be go
ing down behind us until at length it disap-
pears below the horizon as we finally reach
point corresponding to d on the semicirce
traversed when entering the earth's interior
through the north polar entrance.
" Until more data concerning the central
region of the antarctic circle are obtained than
already have been recorded by others | am
warranted in claiming that conditions there
will be found to be similar to those within
the central region of the arctic circle. For
this reason the remainder of our journey
through the southern entrance to the earth's
exterior surface will doubtless be not unlike
that to the interior of the earth through the
northern entrance
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-08-03
Where Did This Debris Come From i,


Unless the earth does contain a central
sun which produces and maintains vegetation,
the origin of coal, wood, pollen from plants,
etc. found by explorers upon the ice and snow
within the arctic circle must forever remain
mystery, it is admitted that such products
of vegetable life could not have been carried
toward the polar region when the ice is con-
stanly moving away from it, and the nearest
trees on the exterior surface of the earth ara
hundreds of miles distant from the localities
where these material evidences of plant life
were discovered.
:" As the quantity of ice diminishes rapidly
as one travels toward the polar regions, until
an open sea is encountered, it is evident that
there must be a source of heat for producing
an increase in temperature and this source
cannot be other than material sun in the
center of the earth.
As terrific winds suddenly arise within
the assumed locality Of the poles when Inc
sky is clear, it is apparent that hot air mugs
be supplanting cold air somewhere within the-
region, and such change can be ascribed onry
to currents of cold air rushing into the polar
openings to modify or disperse the heat pro-
duced by an interior sun.
" As the air within the immediate vicinity
of the so-called north pole possesses sufficient
warmth to form almost continuous fog, i.
Is evident that heat sufficient to produce this
condition must come from within the earth
through an opening in the earth's crust or
shell. as the rays of the sun do not strike
the region affected.
As there have been found within the polar
regions certain migratory animals which could
not possibly have come from more temperate
lands in the Jar south across the arctic fields
Of ice, the presence of these animals can be
explained only by admitting that they orig
nally inhabited the interior of the earth and
migrated through the polar opening to the
place where found

At the Apex of the Earth's Crust.

Having reached the point marked d on
the diagram, we are now half way around the
semicircle or at the apex of the earth's crust
or She'll Here the magnetic needle of the
compass is seen to dip and oscillate in
peculiar manner owing to its being directly
opposite to the point marked l. where the
magnetic force is focused in the same manner
as the magnetic properties of an ordinary
horseshoe magnet strongest at the end
of either pole
" At the point marked we are able to
catch our first glimpse of the corona that
surrounds the central sun of the earth. because
this sun is according to my theory approx
mately only $500 miles distant from that
point Therefore it appears reasonable to be-
leve that the corona could be seen and would
have the appearance of sun rising above the
horizon under favorable atmospheric condi-
tions.
Continuing our journey around the semi
circle of the earth's crust, and in reality
having pursued downward or southerly
course since leaving the point marked d, we
arrive at the point marked Il. Here accord
ing to my theory, it is possible for us to see
the central sun in it's entirety and to realize
that we are actually gazing upon the source
of life and energy of an interior world,
world not unlike our own and but 500 miles
distant from us. through the earth's crust or

As we leave the point marked E and con-
tinue downward the central sun will appear
to be rising farther and farther above the
horizon until at last it is directly overhead or
in the zenith. At this point we will have

crust and actually have reached the interior

these openings, could the northern and south
ern lights be produced.
As the aurora is always confined to the
polar regions, varies in color constantly and
lasts for varying periods of time, it is obvious
that such a manifestation is due 10 a source
other than electricity, because the latter force
is according to those familiar with the laws
governing its action, incapable of creating the
illumination known the aurora
" [ am justified in declaring the only ra-
tional theory is that the aurora is produced
by means of the earth's central sun, which
shoots its rays in all directions. Some of
these beams come through the polar openings
when they are not prevented by clouds, and
If the atmosphere at certain height above
the polar openings is in a dense or Opaque
condition win be reflected as conditions vary
in the upper and uninterrupted air. and also
as they vary in the atmosphere of the earth's
interior through which the beams pass on
their way to the polar openings
In this manner the manifestations of the
aurora will vary in brightness, color duration,
depth, and apparent height from the earth's
exterior surface.
