the north polar region along the land and
Keeping it at very low degree of
temperature down to Cape Farewell, the
southernmost tip of Greenland. Here,
during the Summer, the oncoming Of
the warm weather disintegrates some Of
the Ice, particularly between the fssures,
which are Characteristic of each years ice
growth. Here they are split and carried
away by the polar currents into the North
Atlantic where sometimes they become
very dangerous TO ocean shipping.
1t Is singular fact, and true of only
this spot In the world, that the cold polar
current that sweeps down the Eastern
coast of Greenland is paralleled not very
far outside by q warmer current, which
Is largely responsible for considerable
amount Of precipitation that In turn has
1t effect ia wearing down some of the
glacial ice aud bringing about the eventual
formation OF icebcrgs.
But there was not always nm ice cap.
In time long gone by the region about the
North Pole had a warm climate and all
Of Greenland was covered with luxuriant
tropical vegetation. This Is positively
known BECAUSE fossil remains Of palms,
breadfruit' trees, and other plants properly
belonging Ito warm ATTITUDES have been
dug up thgrc in quantities.
The Washington times., 1922-12-03

the sun, for some reason, delivered less
heat upon the earth. Though hard for US
to realize, it is q fact that II the Average
temperature of the northern half Of the
United States were lowered only ten
degrees, the ice sheet would creep south
ward again and cover all that part Of
the country, sweeping its cities of the
map and giving it likeness to the Green
land of to-day. This would happen be-
cause the difference of ten degrees would
make the Winters SO much longer that
the SHOWS would not have time to melt in
Summer, and so the ice sheet would
thicken year by year until it became one
vast glacier.
So it is just as well that we find our
selves approaching the end of an age Of
ice, instead Of being menaced by its on
coming. It is fairly to be expected that
from this time on-judging from observa-
tions of the retreat of the great ice sheet
climates all over the world will become
steadily and gradually warmer. No long
err ago than 100000 years the climate OF
Greenland was still temperate, and Alaska
had temperatures like those of Alabama
nowadays.
Not long ago two government geolo-
gists, David White and Charles Schuchert,
paid visit of exploration to west Green
land, where, far north of the Arctic
Circle, they studied fossil flora OF palms,
tree ferns, breadfruit trees, cinnamon
trees, etc., belonging properly to the
neighborhood of the Equator. Where
now an ice sheet over mile thick covers
mountain an. valley and mighty glaciers
make their way to the sea and hatch ice
bergs, there was anciently wilderness of
tropical verdure.
There were trees related to the giant
seouoias of our own west coast. Climb
ing vines festooned the trunks of these
monarchs of an ancient forest with
draperies of foliage, while close to the
ground grew curious dwarf trees called
"cycads" resembling palms in miniature,
in the midst of tangled underground.
OF such a character was the vegetation
of Greenland 100000 years or so ago.
White and Schuchert found the tropical
plant beds overlaid by later deposits in
which were masses Of fossil remains Of
trees, including poplars, willows, euca-
lyptus and magnolias. Much of this ma
terial had been converted into "brown
coal" or Ignite. This latter formation
was relatively recent, dating back only
to the Tertiary Epoch when the climate
of Greenland was much like that OF our
Gulf States to-day.
Az the far more ancient period when
Greenland was a tropical country the
climate seems to have been much the same
all over the world, and the same plants

the geologists) not more than 5000
years ago. If the process continues, the
day may be expected to arrive when all
the Ice will be gone from about the Pole,
and the Arctic regions will then become
fruitful and habitable by man.
It seems at least possible that the ex-
traordinary warmth in the Arctic during
the last few years marks a step in this
direction. Such a change as that sug-
gcstcd cannot be suddenly or even rapidly
accomplished; but, II there shall come o
time when the North Polar ice cap is
entirely melted, and Greenland incident
ally freed of the ice sheet which covers it,
the latitudes in which we now dwell will
experience wonderful climatic altera
tion. The northern part Of the United
States will become sub-tropical.
From what has been said it will be
understood that we are really still living
in the Glacial Epoch. 1t seems, however,
to be drawing gradually toward a close !;
and it is easily possible to imagine that
eventually all parts Of the earth will be-
come warm again, just as was the case at
the period above referred to, when Green
land was covered with luxuriant vegeta-
tion.
Nobody knows what causes produced
the age Of ice. II must have been that

grew contemporaneously In Greenland and
California, in Spitsbergen and Virginia.
Nobody can say with certainty why this
was. One theory Is that In that epoch the
atmosphere was 90 heavily charged with
water-vapor that warmth was readily dis
tributed through 1t, and the suns rays
did not have q chance to strike the earth
uninterrupted, making differences in
climate by the degree Of their slant. As
time went on, the atmosphere thinned
gradually, and 50 there came to be
climatic variations marking q series of
zones around the world.
Of the fact that the Polar regions were
anciently warm and verdure-clad an in
teresting proof was afforded by q dis
covery which Greedy, the explorer,
chanced to make. Within eight degrees
Oatitude) of the North Pole he found a
fossil forest with stumps of trees still
standing.
Greenland is the largest island In the
world. 1t is mainly a granite formation,
but some Of the less elevated portions of it
were evidently at one time below the level
OF the sea-as is proved by sedimentary
NSpooIeS' III tHcSt uepOSlCS Wn1te and
Schuchert found plentiful remains of
marine animals, including fishes and ex-
tinct species of crustaceans.
At the period when Greenland was a
tropical country there grew in waters
along the New England coast species of
corals which to-day are found only in
latitudes not far from the Equator. They
afford another proof that anciently
climatic conditions were altogether diff
ferent from what they are at the present
time.
1t is worth mentioning, by the way.
that DR.. Adolf Hoel reports, as one profit
able result of the recent Norwegian ex-
pedition, the discovery of hitherto un

of Advent Bay, in Greenland. These de-
posits, of course, represent q profuse
plant life which existed through a great
length of time In former epoch
Scientists declare that there have been
in the past several glacial epochs. Ap-
parently, owing to causes unexplained,
long periods of cold have alternated with
long periods of warmth. The prospect
seems to be that one of these periods
of warmth, which may last tens of
thousands or even hundreds of thousands
Of years, is approaching; and in the
phenomena now exciting so much atten-
ton in the Arctic may perhaps be
seen a promise Of changes that will
benefcially affect the entire population of
the world, incidentally rendering available
for human occupation vast land areas
which are now uninhabitable.

\ CITY PLAYGROUND

In promoting the equipment Of
an adequate playground in Pullman,
Manyard-Price post Of the American
Legion is engaging in a valuable
constructive work. While conditions
here do not make il necessary for
the children to play in streets con-
gested with traffic yet the hilly site
on which Pullman is built provides
very few level places adapted for
children's games. No. having a good
level ground on which to work off
their surplus energy the boys and
girls are constantly tempted to play
in the streets, at the risk of life and
limb and to the great annoyance of
automobile drivers.
Reaney park, by the addition of
adequate apparatus, could be made
into an ideal playground for the lit
tie ones. 1t is centrally located,
where there is little traffic, we'll
shaded and provided with plenty of
artesian drinking water. What it
lacks in size could be offset by in
stalling enough slides, swings. teeter-
boards and other apparatus to divert
the attention of the children from
sports and games requiring more
room.
Children are sure to congregate
and to play and it is far better to
have central place where they can
gather and find means of amusing
themselves in a safe and wholesome
way under proper supervision, than
to have them assembling in little
groups in the streets and vacant lots
in all parts of the city and giving
vent to their animal spirits in mis-
chievous and dangerous FRANKS, be-
cause they have no other way of di-
verting themselves.
The fitting up of an adequate
is a worthy project which
should have the cordial support of all
citizens and Maynard-Price post is
entitled to commentator for having
promoted it.
