THE WOBBLING OF THE POLES
THE ENDS OF THE EARTH'S AXIS
ARE NEVER AT REST.
Speed of the Poles Is Worse Than
Snail Like, Never Travelling More
Than Four Feet in a Week.

Snail Like, Never Travelling More
Than Four Feet in a Week.
Astounding as it may seem the
poles of the earth are webbing about
apparently at random, but confirming
their travels within a circle of 60
feet in diameter. Should Peary again
make the trip to the North Pole he
would find his flag, which he planted
there on his last trip, nearly so feet
from the spot which he would now
locate as the true North Pole.
After 10 years of tireless and thor
ough research and investigation Prof.
George A. Hill of the naval obserya-
tory, in conjunction with experiments
made by other scientists all over the
world, has established one fact that
the staid old earth is webbing on
her axis.
If Cook did discover the pole, as
we'll as Peary, their flags might have
been 60 feet apart, but, according to
observations taken at Ine time, they
might both have located the pole, ac-
cording to the reading of the stars.
A point which is the North Pole to-
day would not be the North Pole to-
morrow. Moreover, no one can pre-
dict where this nomadic pole will be
the next minute, the next hour or the
next year. The Arctic explorer may
pitch his tent somewhere within the
circle of 60 feet and place his finger
on what he supposes to be the pole.
Like some living thing this little
point, which has for more than a
century been attracting all sorts of
men from the various corners of the
earth, will lie crawling away from
him all the time.
It's speed is worse than snail like.
1t has never been observed to travel
farther than four feet in a week.
Sometimes it requires more than a
month to cover yard.
A technical explanation of how the
astronomers have proved this would
surely befuddle the layman. In pop
ular terms the scientists through two
separate telescopes watches the APP
parent movement of the stars, bill
! lions of miles distant. He selects a
| few Of those whose positions have
been well established and which can
| be seen through his instruments by
day as we'll as by night. Day after
| day, week after week and year after
year he observes the latitude where
+ he is. Instead of following paths by
straight sweeps the stars stagger
across them and back again. These
staggerings represent the changes in
latitude. Now, if our ATTITUDES are
slipping down and UP over the earth
as hoops over a barrel the poles OF
the earth must be changing. Vega
one of the constellation of the harp
is the principal body consulted Many
astronomers agree that our sun and
all its bodies, including the earth, are
hurrying at a mighty rate through
the heavens in the direction of Vega
and that within something like a bill
lion of years we shall crash into il
or pass it.
