CLAIMS EARTH is T0PsaAPED
French Scientist Puts Forth Theory
That VIII 81 Found More or Less !

A French scientist finds In the great
depths of the Arctic ocean an argu-
ment tending to show that the earth
is slightly topshaped, the protuber-
ance corresponding to the point of the
top being at the South pole. This. no
thinks. would explain the different re-
suits arrived at by the various meas
urements Of astronomers and geode-
sists. The differences are very small
In comparison with the entire bulk Of
the globe. yet they are readily APP
probable, and one Of the explanations
that has been suggested for them Is
that the earth is tetrahedral in form.
But the Frenchman thinks the top
shape theory is preferable. The fact
that to an eye looking at the earth
