he publicity given such sales make
the road TO success more difficult?
Il Is my opinion that any player
who is bought al a fancy figure, i'm
mediately assume a handicap. The
public naturally feels that a player
who costs so great an amount should
be a star from the very outset OF
course that is a mlstske. However,
the public doesn't give tnat fact
much consideration.

Patten Geologist and
Philosopher Solves
Weather Conditions

Seal Harbor, Me-, Nov. 21-Tom
Patten, the local geologist and
philosopher, has been pondering upon
the mild winter of 1920 and the dry,
hot summer Of 1921 and has evolved
a theory which he thinks explains the
situation.
He doubts Nine. Curie's theory that
it is from the effects of radium. al
though radium may have some effect,
he believes, in a mild degree. Mr..
Patten says:
after long period of quiescence,
continental elevation seems again
about to take place-an oft repeated
movement, dating back to the earliest
time, caused by the shrinking Of the
earth due to it's old age. 1t has long
been known to biologists that there
has accumulated vast deposits Of
| sediment off shore all along our far
reaching Atlantic Coast line.
THE presence of this subsiding de-
posit has a tendency to cause a CORE
spending elevation in the shoreward
lines, parallel to it. This action also
exerts lateral pressure on the un-
derlying rock strata from East to
| West. There are a few exceptions
where the offshore depression has ex-
tended westerly into the coast line it.
self.
! "The friction caused by the attri-
ton of the underlying rock masses in
their movement to readiust them
selves generate n certain degree Of
| heat over the whole of the Northern
continent.
This is in addition to the innate
heat which has always existed in the
earth's crust. The dense atmos-
pheric envelope which surrounds our
earth confines this extra heat to the
localities where it is generated until
a higher state of temperature is made
sensible
"The increased seismic activity in
recent years is from these conditions.
While the heat that is given by the
sun is bestowed on localities where it
falls vertically or nearly so, this heat
from the earth's interior has extend
ed far to the frozen North, as attest
ed by the icebergs, which it has re-
leased in the past year in increased
quantities to drift to more Southern
latitudes.
These present movements may be
but the preliminary tremor which in
the near future may assume a more
pronounced condition. On the other
hand the extreme condition toward
which it is tending may be a long
way in the future.
Dat
is about to take place or has already
begun. When the elevation is fin
ished and quiet in the rock masses is
again established, then there will be
lowering of temperature in propor-
ton to the elevation attained This
is regular movement established
through past ages and repeated many
times"

Mr. Moffett denied the modern doc

that the Scripture plainly states that
Christ will descend with shout. with
the voice of the archangel. and not

the sleeping saints will also come
forth from their graves.
