GARRETT P. SERVISS DELVES
INTO ARCTIC MYSTERIES
Noted Astronomer Finds Rediscoveries Of Eden
Yet Lives.

AIO doubt I make my share Of
IN errors, and 4 now find that
/ have comJnitted one of a pecult-
arily annoying nature, viz: killing
a man in print while ~he is still
flourishingly alive in flesh and
blood and mind. The fact that
1t was done without intent and in
consequence Of my being myself
misled, does not diminish my cha
grin or my desire to make repara-
ton. The victim of this fnky
"crime" is a man for whom I
have always had the highest re-
gard and admiration, William
Fairfield Warren, president
emeritus of Boston University.
I rejoice TO learn that, so far
from dying, he has recently cele-
brated his ninety-second birthday,
thus leading Mr.. Depew by a year
in the race Of happy and efficient
longevity.
A short time ago, under the
false impression that DR.. War
rem had died instead Of celebrat-
ing his arrival at so advanced a
station in life, I wrote of his won
derful book, Paradise Found"
the best discussion and summary
that / have ever seen Of the age
old legends. found scattered
through many literatGres. which
more or less directly point to
the north polar area as the origi-
nal home and probable birthplace
of maRkind.
The projects now on foot for re-
newed exploration by the air
route of tho still mysterious sur
roundings Of the North Pole and
the unknown geography OF the
great polar basin illustrate the
irresistible lure of the Arctic.
What ancient continent. what ice
imbedded archipelago once the
scene of varied life, may not be
disclosed there? What more thrill
ing appeal could there be presented
to the Imagination than the pos
sibility that man in flying to the
Pole may be revisiting the loca-
tion of the primal cradle OF his
race?
Polar Region Changes.
That there was a time when
abundant life flourtshed within
the Arctic circle cannot be doubt
ed in view of the unquestioneG
existence there Of the remains Of
NO5OL0IACA SA6l aSIC1 AGLlC III LCAAA-
perate and even tropical climates.
It is not necessary to suppose
an upsetting of the ealRh's axis
"a supposition embracing an ap-
parent physical impossibiIity-in
order to account for tho change
of conditions within the polar
region. Alterations OF land level,
differences in the composition of
the air, not affecting it's suit
ability to the demands of organic
life, and other causes may be in
voked. A different arrangement
of ocean currents than that pre-
vailing at present would have
enormous consequences on the
habitability of parts of the earth
now unsuitable to the permanent
presence of the higher orders of
animals. This may we'll have
been the principal cause OF. the

former state Of affairs in the far
North.
Suppose that once the Gulf
Stream, or a still stronger end
warmer current flowing from the
northern tropics, catered the
Arctic Ocean between Greenland
and North America, or between
Greenland and northern Europe,

ing the polar basin would be- al
most invaluable.
Or it might be from the. equa-
torial waters of the Pacific that
the genial current arose, passing
through Bering Strait toward the
Pole, and warming Alaska on it's
way
Warmth i'm Arctic.
Even now there is a supply of
relatively warm water finding a
way into the Arctic ocean. Nan
sen found that the deeper waters
there have a higher temperature
than those at the surface, indi-
eating the inflow of warm cur
rents from the Atlantic. If Green
land were not protected by icy
currents from the north It's vast
glacial. burden would be rapidly
melted away by the influence of
the Gulf Stream and it's warm
drifts. The immense influence of
ocean currents upon the earth's
climates is now again duly recog-
nized after being for q time al
most thrown into the discard in
consequence of one Of those capri
cious turns Of fashion to which.
unfortunately, scientific specula-
ton, if not scientific investiga-
ton. is almost as much subject
as other human affairs. In the
spirit of the prevailing trend of
thought in this line, q new Ar
chimedes might exclaim: LET me
dam the currents of the oceans,
and 1 will plant new paradise
with the North Pole for its
center"
Then DR.. Warren's dream
would be turned backward, and
the lost Eden" would again put
on it's bloom under the polar sky.

ting it up eight hours in q busy
garage. Moreover, 1t cuts him
out from any good times with the
gang he meets during the day.
Then, too, there's something else.
Bill can't just describe that
something else. A feeling Of rest
lessness-of wanting to get out
All Alone BY Himself Away From
Ma. When he gets that far In
his meditations Bill feels ashamed
Of himself. Ma has been such
brick. And he's the only one she
has left since Pa and Aunt Belle
died. Ma says she'd go crazy il
she didn't have Bill to fuss over
and watch for each night. II he
even misses a train she's worried
sick. So when he mentioned one
night that he was sick OF COM
muting and wanted to board near
the garage and just come home
week enQS, MA dCISu dS IL IAc SAAO
of the world had come.
What would she do II her boy
deserted her and left her to die
alone like that?
Bill made the very reasonable
answer that he wasn't deserting
her and would see her regularly
on week ends, perhaps oftener.
Also. she wasn't anywhere near
diving, being in the best of health
and far from advanced years. But
at this Ma burst into tears, ask
ing the universe If this was to
be her thanks for all her years
of work and love-and. Of course,
with every sob Bill felt more like
a dog.
Yet, the next day the feeling
was back again-the longing to be
free and start living his own
life. And this time there was a
faint added tinge of resentment
toward Ma. why couldn't Ma see
that a fellow wanted to be able
to do as he pleased at night? She
knew perfectly well he wouldn't

him understand Mas ideas better.
And he's ready for me to come
right out and pan him In case
I think he's all wrong.
I'm not going to pan you, Bill,
and I don't think you're all
wrong. AS a matter Of fact, you re
simply doing the natural. newt
able thing which Life has been
doing since 1t started first In
those dim, steanay primaeval
swamps.. Young life left the old
home then. And it has been do
ing the same thing ever since.
If it hadn't done that very thing
there wouldn't be any human
race now.
It's plain that you don't intend
to desert or neglect Ma, Bill
and you can bet your last spark
plug you'd get no sympathy in
this department if you did. No,
you're simply caught by the old,
old urge. You want to begin to
live your own life. To see how
1t seems to "be on your own.
You'll never again get such pet
ting and devotion as your mother
gave you, boy. But you're right
in thinking that you'll get some
thing else which you need more
just now-the salt and seasoning
OF a mans free experience before
you pitch in to build a family of
your own. You DO need it.
And so 1 know just the agony
that such a step means to mother
hearts chow we'll I know IT'D! I'm
saying to you--"Pack up and
leave, Bill. Go out and try your
own hand at the game" And to
Ma I'm saying: Its hard, dear
bitter, bitter hard. But it's right
and best. You've got to let him
learn to walk the bigger, rougher
trail now, just as you let him
scramble out of your arms and
toddla his first ,wavering pace
twenty tWo.years ago."
I know that seems cruel. Every
mother comes to the bitter hour
when she knows just how cruel
it is. But in the long run, it is
the only kind, constructive way
to regulate affairs. And the
mother who lives with her brain
as we'll as with her heart will
WANT her child to make the
break and gradually build up hia
own. new life.
