Summer that won't be settled

going to be whether Ocean Beach

Most Of the bathing suits worn

is young and decidedly shapely,
appeared in a two-piece suit of
very sheer pink silk, a tight-fit-

Then well, wet silk does cling

reddish powder filled the air and
it looked as if the whole world
was going to blaze up. The
powder was followed by a rain
of fine cinders which covered
trees and blanketed the vegeta-

a whistling sound that pierced

Natives in the forest were thrown

fishing, say they saw three enor-
nous globes Of fire fall from the
sky and vanish earthwards.
Nor has this been the only
cosmic visitation from outer
space in South America OF
modern days, There was the
huge aerolite that fell on a mill
in Argentina, crashed with an ex-
plosion heard for miles around,
and reduced the mill TO a smok-

the appalling Siberian disaster in

thing that befell modern Brazil

miles of forests. A lonely padre

glowing white-hot, that is borne
in front of the aerolites. The
forest was set afire. and the con-
flagration lasted many months
when a whole wide region was
denuded of people. The fall was
preceded by remarkable atmo-
spheric disturbances. At o'clock
in the morning, the sun became
blood-red and a penumbra spread
all over the sky til it darkened
the air, as in time of solar
eclipse.

And before the second star be-
gan TO recede, it's tidal pull had
become SO powerful that this
mountain was torn TO pieces and
threw off fragments OF itself,
much as the crest of a wave
throws off spray These small
fragments have been circulating
around their parent sun ever
since. They are the planets,
great and small, of which our
earth is one"
This event was probably re-
peated on a smaller scale about
the year 10000 BIC. The tramp

must have been ceaseless for
hours, perhaps days. There must
have been erupttons OF volcanoes
and fire squirting from the
ground most anywhere, with huge
assures opening and closing on
those who fell into them. Winds
of unheard violence must have
hurled themselves in the direction
of the dark star, with lightning
and such downpour of rain as
would have caused general
floods.
But all these things would be
nothing compared TO the behavior
of the ocean. Instead of the mild
tidal wave which follows the
moon and sun around the earth,
the entire contents of the seven
seas would strive to collect at
the nearest point to the tramp,
climbing right over any con-
tinent that happened TO be in
the way.
CONSIDERING the vastness of
- space and the comparative
smallness of even the biggest
stars, astronomers have cherished
the happy belief that so small
were the chances of being hit by
a celestial body that the sun
would probably freeze up first.
But they have been shocked out
of that optimism lately.

There is plenty of evidence,
mostly repetitious, from the
Americas. that things happened
IN the skies, at the time of the
great deluge, and Egyptians,
from their ancient records, told
Scion the Greek lawgiver, why
they thought Egypt was spared
from the ravages Of the great
disaster, which they said pre-
vented the entire world from
being conquered by the people of
Atlantis.
Plato tells how the Egyptian
priest Psonchis told Scion that
the people Of the Nile had been
sheltered from the rain of fire"
that went with the deluge which
therefore could not have been
universal. Then he made the
following remarkable statement:
This rain of fire is caused by
a declnation of astronomical
bodies, moving around the earth
and in the heavens"

recalled. The Egyptians had a
theory that rivers were a sort
Of flood insurance and the Nile
had saved their country.
II was a wrong guess. but
Egypt's immunity from the. de-
luge is one of the important
clues which some day will trace
the course of the dark star
through the earth's sky. From
what little we know now, it
would seem that the first rush
Of the oceans. both Pacific and
Atlantic. was toward the Amer
icas. This drowned and made
dead the mystery cities.
Probably while these were in
their death agony. the mother
country Of Atlantis saw the
ocean recede from it's coasts,
leaving the ocean bottom visible
TO the horizon. Then back came
the ocean, as the dark star be-
gan to pull from the other side
OF the earth. Atlantis not only
was engulfed by this backwash
but in the volcanic upheavals
caused by the stars pull on the
liquid inside of the earth. il sank
permanently below sea level.
Into the hole this left went
some OF the water that might
have deluged North Africa. But
the east-borne tide seems 20 have
headed mostly toward Europe
anyhow which was the main rea-
son the dark star spared one
dark continent.
The most striking feature OF
the Spanish Conquest of Mexico
was that the fierce. warlike Az
tees were paralyzed by a fore
boding of doom, at sight Of the
bearded white invaders. Tradi-
ton told them that because their
ancestors had driven away some
beared, wise and kindly whites,
these had said they would some
day come back and conquer
them.

Nobody would suggest that

These whites could hardly have

cities Even these would hardly
have known enough astronomy

the calamity.

gods must have done il and the
p only conceivable reason for such
wanton slaughter would be- that

The best way 20 make the gods

to make all human behavior per

Finding that this could not hc

10 be TO appease the gods for
the back-sliding by voluntarily
