dwindle or even cease altogether. This is the
fate Prof. Humphreys foresees for the great
grain belts as they now exist: they will be-
come first thin -grassed lands fit only for mar
ginal herds of sheep and goats, then even that
scant vegetational cover will disappear-its end
hastened, perhaps, by desperate overgrazing
carried on by starving nomad shepherds.
Then will Iowa and Nebraska, Manitoba and
Saskatchewan, become extensions of a great
American desert, stretching southwark to the
borders of the Mexican tropics, empty and arid
as the Sahara is now, the soil burned dry OF
its fertility by the Summer suns and blown
into towering dust storms by occasional winds.
But for the most part even these winds will
be lacking, for the wind-engendering cold air
from the north will fail It will be a land OF
stagnant death. And the great grain lands OF
Central Europe and Asia will share its fate.

The final melting of of the last remains
of earth's ancient mantle Of ice may come
faster than usually think possible for geo
logic processes. Prof. Humphreys says it may
happen in as little as 10000 years.
The existence Of permanently refrigerated
spots on the earth has a decided influence on
the behavior Of the earth's blanketing ocean OF
air. The migration of chilled air masses to-
ward the south, their encounters with warmed
air masses from the tropics migrating toward
the north. and the ebb and flow of battle that
ensqes when such masses of air encounter each
other, make up a large part of the story OF
the weather, especially in the temperate zones.
THE first and most important change a dis
appearance of the Arctic and Antarctic ice
regions would accomplish, says Prof Hum
phreys, would be the removal of the present
type of climatic contrasts in these middle Iati-
tudes
The tropics, he thinks, would be relatively
little changed except, perhaps, that their pres
ent tropical characteristics might be intensi-
fed. But in the lands of the midlatitudes,
especially in the Northern Hemisphere (where
the greater area of such lands He), a startling
and not at all favorable change in climate
would occur.
At present the great grain lands that feed
the world-Canada and the United States,
Russia and China, and in the Southern Hemi-
sphere, Australia and Argentina-owe their
fruitfulness to the rain and snow yielding
storms that result from the encounter Of mois-
ture-laden warm air from lower latitudes with
chill, moisture condensing air moving down
from the regions of perpetual cold.
Remove the cool northern air currents, or
weaken them appreciably, and the rains will

glaciers, should become bare of
all glaciers? If Greenland's icy mountains
should lose all their ice?
The idea is not as impossible as it sounds.
It is not normal for the earth to have its both
ends frozen solid; it seems so merely because
it has been so during all Of mans recollected
history.
The ancients and the of the middle
ages knew the boreal regions lands of per-
petual snow Lief the Lucky was honest when
he gave Iceland its name, but when he named
Greenland he seems to have succumbed to the
temptation that conquers most promoters of
new real estate development-for it Is probable
that all he ever saw of green on that ice-sheet-
ed subcontinent was a stretch of its shore
country during the brief Arctic Summer.
There is to be sure, some suggestion that the
world had milder seasons during the tenth and
eleventh centuries, when the Vikings came,
first to Greeland and then to America, fol-
lowed by a return of the cold in about the
fourteenth century, which froze out the hope
full colonies and sent the defeated settlers into
their frozen graves or into sorrowful retreat to
the homeland.
DUT what if this half-hypothetical ameliora-
- ton of the worlds climate should return.
and continue long enough to clear away the
last of the worlds permanent ice? What other
effects would it have than to start new boom
in choice building lots in the suburbs of Uper-
navik? Would the world be. in the long run,
gamer or loser by complete thawing out?
The first thing that all earth-scentists know
is that, speaking in terms of geologic ages.
it is the usual the normal thing, for the earth
to be ice-free. Ice ages, such as the one In
whose twilight we moderns living, have
been the exception rather than the rule in the
long history of the earth.
There have been only three such periods OF
really major importance: The Pleistocene age
which began million years ago, more or less
and is still in process of Liquidation; an ice
age not long after the clio e of the coal age,
perhaps a quarter of billion years ago, and
finally one near the dawn of all well-recorded
life ON earth, that misty period known as the
Cambrian, vaguely from half billion to two
thirds of billion years back.
During the rest Of the time the climate at
the poles was at least temperate; some geolo-
gists used to believe it was outright tropical.
Among the scientists who have taken their
pleasure in thinking what normal" ice free
earth might be like If it should return while
the human species is still in existence is Prof.
w. j. Humphreys of the United States Weather
Bureau.

Bald rock also will probably be the whole

Much of the rock underlying the forests OF

1t is highly improbable that any appreciate

TAXI STRIKERS
BRAND. PACT
'SELL-OUT'
Union Rejects Settlement Ar
ranged by LaGuardia; 3
DAYS of Violence

NEW YORK, Feb. S Q.N.S0-
Rejecting the settlement negoti-
ated by Mayor F. H. LaGuardia
in an unexpected move, thousands
of striking taxi drivers returned
to picket duty today, paralyzing
cab transportation, despite nlgnt-
long indications Of relief.
William Gandall. head Of the
taxi drivers union, declared:
''The announcement of set
tIement is a sell-Out. / don't
care If the mayor did make It,"
Morris L. Ernst, attorney ap-
pointed by Mayor LeGuardia to
mediate the strike, announced
that negotiations would be re-
sumed this afternoon.
Renewed outbreaks Of violence
were feared if attempts were made
to resume service before the con-
flict, revolving about distribution
of the municipal tax fare, which
has been impounded as illegal, is
settled.
.Gandall, who organized the
union only five days ago, claims
that 26,700 drivers already have
become members.
Scores of drivers and in some
instances passengers in cabs were
pummeled and beaten by irate
strikers. In the Times Square dis
trict strikers and their sympathiz-
erS attacked drivers, tore the
doors off cabs, smashed windows,
puntured tires, assaulted pas
sengers and crushed silk hats
whenever they Spied people at
tempting to hail cabs.
In the heart of the theatrical
district a woman passenger was
dragged from a cab and struck IN
the face before a squad of police
men could rescue her.
A cab was hauled by police from
the East River yesterday after 18
hours of graphing and the body
of it's driver, Owne Queinn, 81, was
found wedged behind the steering
wheel. After an investigation po-
lice said the cab had plunged into
the river accidentally and that
Quinn'S death was in no way at
tributable to the strike.
