EARTH NOT A GLOBE"
Brookline, Mass.

- e
Jan. "A.
To the Editor of The Farmer, Sir:
Some one has sent me some clip
pings from your paper, one is under
date of Dec. 81, 1915.
Without doubt the one who sent
the articles intended to try and prove
to me that the earth is a globe, al
hough the article says Columbus
thought the earth was round. The
geographers, his contemporaries,
thought it fiat. The earth wasn't
flat, but it looked so. It was an OBJ
late spheroid, but nobody knew it in
Portugal excepting Columbus. This
mistake was excusab1e.''
Now 1 wilr venture to say that this
article was put in your paper with
the intention to show to the public
that the earth is a globe, although it
does not say so, why don't you use
the proper words to express yourself
and not keep the public guessing?
The newspapers are continually
using the word round when they mean
globe in talking about the earth,
but plate is round but not a globe,
a cent is round but not a globe, the
wheel is round but not a globe, do
you mean to have US understand
that the earth is shaped like a cent
wheel or plate? If not what are
you trying to prove?
by the different astronomers, their
views are most all different from
each other and like your paper keeps
the people guessing.
sfThe earth isn't fiat. but it looks
So think can see a little light.
One is not sick he only thinks he is,
(Christian Science).
But, gentlemen, 1t will take some
thing more than Christian Science to
make. the people believe that the
earth is a globe, when they are will
ing to look into the subject, and to
those who have done SO, the theory of
a globe earth is gigantic fraud.
I see tina tyou paper was founded In
1890. Well, all I can say is that
to mo 1t seems very strange that you
haven't progressed in oil that time
far enough to have found out that the
earth is not a globe, and never has
been proved. Neither can 1t be, and
I think you would do we'll to try and
find out the facts in regard to this
matter, and then put 1t into your
paper, or are you asleep On this sub
Ject? If SO. wake up. satisfy your
selves by demonstrated faots that the
earth is not a globe, and don't class
your paper in with those who, refuse
to print the truth If it seems to be
against modern astronomy.
The people want the truth and some
day they will demand it, Why not
be one of the leaders, and give it to
them
Did you not know that "a millions
worth of property and 500 lives are
annually lost at sea, from no other
cause save an erroneous astronomical
theory . In the name of humanity
sound the alarm, and save those lives
and millions of dollars every year.
and show up the absurdity of the the
ory
Had you dare take the step? If
not. why not2

what the truth is,

HUMANE SOCIETY

OF LAW on DEER

Hartford, Jan. 26.-In his report at
the annual meeting of the Connecticut
Humane society today, President Will
liam DeLoss Love characterized the

assembly, allowing the killing Of these
animals by owners Of land or their
men as unjust, inhumane and waste
full" He 1ntimated that efforts would
eb made for the repeal of the law at
the next session. He stated there was
no accurate revord Of the number of
deer killed since August 1, but the
number was probably in the thou
sands.
The financial reports showed a cap

ceipts of $15,710 for the care and dis
bursements of SIS, 1872.

CANADIANS
IN WARFARE

While the British military auth or
tiles were inclined to criticise the Ca
madam contingents when they first
appeared in England, usually on the
is to be heard now nothing but praise
of the ttCanucks" For dash, daring,
and logged determination, the Cana
dams have no superiors in any of the
armies, as they have demonstrated on
many a bloody field, For more than
dters have been distinguishing them
selves in Britain's wars 1nglis, the
hmm rtaI defender of Lucknow in the
rnutiny, was a Canadian. Alexan-
der Dunn of Toronto was a 1ieuten-
ant in the Light Brigade at Balakla-
va, and was the first Canadian to re-
ceive the Victoria Gross, Alexander
McNabb, the first Canadian to hold a.
commission in the British regular ar
my, died at Waterloo. A company
of Canadian, yoyageurs accompanied
Lord WoIseley on the Nile expedi-
ton in 1884 and won high praise from
their commander. It was not until
the Boer war, however, that Canada
sent any considerable contingent for
foreign service. Among the officers
who won fame in that struggle was
Sir Edouard Percy Cranwfll Girouard,
who was born in Montreal forty-nine
years ago to-day, Jan. 20. 1861 and
entered the army in 1888. AS di-
rector of transportation IN South At
RIGA during the Boer war he won high
praise, and was knighted, In the
South African struggle four Canadians
won the Victoria Cross for iconspicu=
Gus vaIor, and 169 Canadians achieved
honorable mention in the dispatches
of the commander of the British for
ces. Seventeen won the Distinguished
Service Order, five the @. B. and five
others the Q. M. G. The Canadians
in this war are, only living up to the
precedents established by the sons of

ST. PoLYCARP

The first century of Christianity
produced many illustrious leaders, of
whom one of the most noteworthy
was st. Polycorp, whose festival is cell
eloratedy by Catholics to-day Poly
carp was probably born before the
year So A. D. He occupies an impor-
tant historical position, having been
a, disciple of ST. John and other apos-
ties of Jesus, and the teacher Of Ire
naeus, the, first of the Catholic faith
ers. He embraced Christianity when
a boy, through association with ST.
John and other disciples of the new
faith who visited Asia Minor. In his
manhood and old age he often gather
ed the young people about him and
told them of what he had heard about
Jesus from st. John and others who
had known the Founder or Christian
ity. Among these youthful hearers
was Irenaeus, who recorded much of
what he had learned in this manner.
Folycarp became bishop or Smyrna,
and suffered martyrdom in his eighty
sixth year, after the pro-consuI had in
vain sought to induce him to deny the
Christian faith.
