NEXT GREAT DELUGE is

the light Of the information gathered
in the Antarctic regions by the Byrd
expedition and in Greenland by the ILL
fated Prof. Alfred Wegener and his
companions.
The glacial sheets that now cover
the North and South poles were once
100000 square miles in extent
more than one-fifth the present total
land area of the globe. In the course
of about 100000 years they have melt
ed down to their present area Of
about 100000 square miles. The ice
on Greenland alone is ten times vast
er than the area Of the State Of New
York. Wegener's echo soundings
showed that. it is over 1900 feet thick
near the center of the island and
about 1000 feet thick near the edges
of the bowl over which it spills Here,
then, we have enough ice to provide
layer Of water one mile thick over
100000 Of Greenlands S27,275 square
miles Of surface. To this we must add
another layer of mile-deep water which
would be spread over 100000 square
miles of Antarctica's 100000 square
miles.

Washington.-We still speak Of "the
Ice age" as il 1t belonged to the re-
mote geological past Biologists have
reached the conclusion that there were
several ice ages. What is more, the
last Ice Age, known as the quaternary,
is only about half over, despite our
clustering summers. eternal ice'' or
"eternal snow" are Pigments Of the po-
etic Imagination. Very slowly the
great ice sheets in the Arctic and Ant
arctic regions are melting and pour
ing their torrents into the oceans. The
earth must inevitably change it's as
pect and it's climate.
! How the change is slowly taking
place and what the result will be has
been considered by such able geolo-
lgists, physicists and meteorlogists as

SUCH is LIF'E-Two Popular Numbers

The earth is steadily growing warm
err. AS all the ice at the two poles
melts a stupendous volume Of water
will be released. Professor David con-
servatively estimates that the sea lev
Ell will rise so feet. Professor Mem
ardus doubles that estimate Doctor
Humphreys, with the studies Of Byrd
and Wegener before him, believes that
the rise will be Isl feet. Such floods
are nothing new, as we see by the
marine fossils found on the tops of
the Rockies, Andes and other noun
tain ranges. =
So, within 10000 or 10000 years
there will be another deluge. Salt wa
ter will sweep over the continents,
leaving only the higher land dry.
Holland will be inundated. Fish will
swim in Buckingham palace and West
minister abbey, for most of England
will lie beneath the waves. The Des-
ert of Sahara will be a great inland
sea. What is now New York will be
marked by the upper stories and tow
ers Of the taller skyscrapers as they
jut out Of the water.
In an inundation which would thus
change geography and which would
be accompanied by rise in tempera-
ture, the climate would return to what
Is was when dinosaurs roamed the
earth and dense jungles of dank, gi-
gantic ferns grew in what are now
Pennsylvania and Canada. Palms and
alligators would flourish at the poles
as they did millions of years ago.
What will become of man il climat-
ic conditions are thus changed? Ice
sheets in high ATTITUDES produce strong
contrasts in temperatures between the
polar and equatorial regions. Winds,
storms, weather that changes from
day to day are the result. Man -four
ishes under such conditions. If the
torrid zone were to become even more
torrid than it is, and if what are now
frozen tracts around the North and
South poles are to bear sub-tropical
life, mans food supply will not be
what it is now.
Prof. G.. s. Simpson Of the British
meteorological office has advanced the
theory that Chellean, Mousterian and
other races of men that once -four
lshed in southern Europe were wiped
out because the climate changed and
that inedible vermin took the place
of the animals that were hunted. No
one can tell what may happen If a
new carboniferous era should follow
the warming of the earth. Man is
about as old as the present Ice age. 1t
is question If he will survive it.

LondOn.-The extraordinary case Of
woman who spelled backward and
read books and drew pictures upside
down is recorded in the current Lam
Get, British medical journal, by DR.. Il.
Eager and DIR. J. w. Fisher of the
Devon Mental hospital.
After a cure by hypnosis the woman
found that she was unable to read
passages which she had written be-
fore her treatment.
The woman, house servant in De
vOnshire, was subject to such trem-
bling of the hands that she broke
more than the usual number of cups
and saucers. After an illness she was
committed to the hospital for exami-
nation. She had previously been
classed as congenial mental defec-
tive.
In the hospital, failure of speech ne
cessitated her writing her wants on
a slate, but the nurses could not un-
derstand the script. Each word was
written backward, though put down
from left to right in the cutomary
manner, and with the right hand. The
letters were correctly oriented, though
in reverse sequence.
Thus, requested to write police

"Devon" she spelled Moved; all
words were similarly reversed.
In mathematics, she wrote all the
figures upside down, and did the same
thing in drawing elementary objects
like dogs, cats and houses. In clean
ing up a room she turned pictures and
vases upside down.

Of tropical Brazil in a bunch Of ba-

had bought from Brazil. The snake
dropped to the floor and police were
summoned, captured it and turned it
over to G. Emerson Brown, director
Of the zoo. Brown said that it was

District Owes Existence
To "'Bonus Trek" of 1888

Few people realize it, but the
District of Columbia owes its
very existence to demonstration
somewhat similar to the bonus
march" which is now perplexing
local and Federal authorities.
Washington was carved out OF
the almost virgin woods along
the Potomac because the Con-
tinental Congress had seen a
bonus army" march on its meet
ing place in Philadelphia and
had found itself powerleSs to
cope with the situation.
The veterans who marched on
the Continental Congress were
the veterans of the Revolutionary
War. Their pay had been de-
layed or refused.
Early Marchers Armed
A group of the soldiers marched
from Lancaster to Philadelphia
in June, 1888. Some of them fell
out of line but when the army"
reached Philadelphia other dis
affected men joined it.
Congress had heard of the
coming and appealed to the ex-
ecutive council of Pennsylvania
for protection. The marcherS
were armed.
The executive council turned
down the request of Congress.

militia would not be willing to

marchers.
The soldiers marched to the
Statehouse and surrounded 1t.
menacing it with pointed guns
and fixed bayonetS.
So Congress Moves
The Congress sat, but did moth
ing to meet the demands of the
veterans. 1t did, however. adopt
a resolution to the effect that it
had been grossly insulted." ="
Then it decided to move and did
move to Princeton.
This and other moves which
the Continental Congress made,
and the menacing activities of the
veterans, caused the Congress to
take up a few months later the
question of a permanent site for
the seat of Government.
1t was in the resolutions
adopted about this time that the
provision appears that Congress
should have sole jurisdiction"
over the site finally selected.
