cent story printed in THE SUN

HROF. ELLSWORTH TUNTING-
- TON of Yale, in discussing a re-
cent story printed in THE SUN
regarding the possible drying up
OF the earth. said:
THE question of whether the earth Is
drying up or not has been discussed Tor
1000 years or more. Aristotle says that
the records of Greece show that the
earth IS subject to great changes during
long periods, wet and cold, warm and
dry. He says that these SUGGESTIONS of
climate last many years and succeed
one another like summer and winter.
Prof. Gregory OF Glasgow Univer-
sty, whom THE SUN quoted, holds that
there were great climatic changes dur
Ing prehistoric times, but that these
changes came to an end before the
beginning Of historic times and that
conditions now are essentially the same
as they were 1000 or 5000 years ago.
| think that he Is wrong and am led to
this conclusion by many lines OF evil
dence.
For instance, the ancient ruins OF
Central Asia could not possibly be in
habltated now, as Prof. Gregory himself
admits. They cannot fail to lead one
to the conclusion that during the past
there were long moist periods which
were great deal wetter than the pres.
ent. on the other hand, such things
as ruins submerged under the waters
OF the Caspian Sea show that al GER

Climatic Changes in Cycles
Prof. Huntington Thinks

travellers and some scientists who have
held that the earth Is steadily drying
up. This idea seems to be borne out by
ruins like those that have just been
mentioned which seem to Indicate In
creasing aridity in certain sections Of
the world. Other scientists who have
been more careful IN their deductions
have pointed out such things as the low
stand OF the Caspian Sea. about 600 or
700 A. D.. and on this ground have
agreed with the meteorologists IN say
Ing that there have been no changes
Oddly enough, the believers in both
theories have overlooked the possibility
that just as small variations now take
place from year to year. 80 in the past
greater pulsatlons may have taken place
In the way described by Aristotle.
Such pulsations seem to have taken
place again and again since prehistoric
times. The Puisatory Theory is strongly
supported by the fact that the evidences
OF dry periods in Asia come at the same
time over large areas, and that in Amer
lea the trees of California grew slowly
at just the times when Asia was driest.
This does not apply to all parts OF
either continent, but only to certain
belts where the same type OF climate
prevails in both continents"
Prof. Huntington then went on to ex-
plain his position In contrast with that
Of Prof. Gregory by means Of diagram
and Its variations. According to the
theory advanced by Prof. Gregory his
diagram shows great variations during
prehistoric times, gradually growing less
down to the present, and showing no
sudden line OF abrupt change. In ex-
planning his theory further Prof. Hunt
ington said:
between the climatic changes Of tho
glacial period and the temporary
changes which now occur within the OBJ
servation OF single generation there il
large gap. 1t has often been assumed
that the two types OF change are I'M
connected, the one being due to some
vast cosinic cause whose nature is
still In dispute, the other to local irregu-
larities In the circulation of the earth's
atmosphere. A study OF the climatic
history OF Asia seems to require a modi- !
hcation OF this view and to give ground
Tor the hypothesis that during historic
times there have been changes OF climate |
whose characteristics were intermediate |
between those of the glacial period and |
those which now occur within the |
limits OF contemporary observation. The |
enects OF such historic changes must. n |
would seem, have been intermediate be- |
tween the epoch making results OF the |
glacial period and the slghter hut by no |
means unimportant results OF the floods,

BIG VOTE BEING CAST HERE;
PORTLAND VOTE ALSO LARGE

third of the registered vote was
cast. fact that indicates that by s
o'clock this evening. when the polls
close, not only the largest numerical
vote in the history of the county will
have been cast but one OF the largest
proportional votes also.
At l o'clock the polls closed for
an hour to permit the clerks ana
judges to so TO dinner. In order to
give all laboring people an opportu-
nifty TO vote, the law provides that
the polls shall remain open until s
lnasmuch as the election officials
must have time TO eat their evening
meal. the actual counting OF ballots
will not be begun until 3 o'clock.
At different offices over the city no
tary publics and freeholders are sta
toned in order to swear in voters
and many OF those not registered are
thus qualifying.
The election here in Pendleton Is
orderly and. though there is every.
where keen interest manifest. the day
is very quiet The saloons, banks and
all public offices are closed, accord
ing TO law.

PETRoGRAD. Nov. 3.-Fareddln
Bey. the Turkish ambassador TO Rus
sla. left Petrograd today with his staff
after having been assaulted by the
Russian employees OF his own embas'
sy.
The allies previously had rejected
the sultans partial, apology for the
acts OF hostility by Turkish warships.
Hostilities apparently being newt
able. the ambassador began prepare
tions 10 leave. Russian neip at the
embassy demanded four months ar
rears in pay and the Ambassador re-
piled that II would be Forthcoming
when the Turks took odessa. The at
tack upon him followed.
One clerk struck him upon the Jaw
and when the police were called they
refused TO interfere. Members OF his
staff finally succeeded in protecting
the diplomat. and he and his party
left by way of'Finlanj.

their valiant armies will triumph

land"
Il ls expected that within n week
an imperial decree will be issued ex-
pelling all Turks from Russia.
The sultan's apology took the form
OF an expression OF regret for the at
tack on Russia in the Black sea and
offered 10 withdraw his fleet from
those waters.
The allies insisted that the cruisers
Goeben and Breslau be put out OF
