until the present time, he has been
recognized as the peer Of Western
producers.

statement that the Scott expedition
found evidence that the south pole had
twice been temperate zone, said:
THE evidence evidently relates to
the discovery OF fossils OF fauna and
fora such as have already been found
In the arctic regions. These are taken
by one school OF theorists as proving
that the poles once occupied the posi-.
lion Of the equator and enjoyed n warm
rlimnte. while the two opposite points.
now on the equator. were frozen poles
'''fhe theory Is that the obliquity of
The earth. which. as every one knows.
travels around the sun at an angle Of
% degrees. Is liable TO great variation
Thus from time to time during the
millions of years the earth has existed
the poles have changed from place to
place on the eartlI's surfnce
But this Is only theory and one
which the exact science Of astronomy
does not so far support"
