Mr. Sanders says that he will make an active campaign to succeed him self. . Ice age” as if it belonged to the re mote geological past. Geologists have reached the'conclusion that ,there were several ice ages. Whqt is more, the last Ice Age. known as the quaternary, is only about half over, despite our blistering summers. “Eternal ice” or “eternal snow” are figments 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 its as pect and Its climate. How the change is slowly taking place and what the result will be has been considered by such aide geolo gists, physicists pnd meteorlogists as Prof. Sir Edgeworth [>a\id of the University of Sydney, Australia, Prof. Wilhelm Meinardus of Gottingen and a score of others. The latest is Dr. William J. Humphreys of the United States weather bureau, who recently addressed the American Meteorologi cal society on the subject, summariz ing old views and modifying them in 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. Glacial Sheets Reduced by Half. The glacial sheets that now cover the North and South poles were once 12,000,000 square miles in extent— more than one-fifth the present total land area of the globe. In the course of about 700.000 years they have melt ed down to their present area of about 000.000 square miles. The ice on Greenland alone is ten times vast er than the area of the State of New York. Wegeners echo soundings showed that it Is over O.OOOTeel thick near the qenter fTf the island and about 14.000 feet thick near the edges of the howl over whjch it spill*. Here, then, we have enough ice to proV’M^ h layer of water on* mile thick over Too.oini of Greenland’s 827.275 square miles of surface. To this we Uiust add aiioihJr layer of mile-deep water which would Ik* spread over 3.200.000 square miles of Antarctic}!'* 5.4O0.UI0 square miles. The earth is steadily growing warm er. As all the ice at the two poles melts a stui>endous volume of water will tie released. Professor David con servatively estimates that the sea lev el will rise 50 feet. Professor Mein ardus double*- that estimate. Doctor Humphreys, ulth the studies of Byrd and Wegener tiefore him. believes thjit the rise will lie 151 feet. Such flood* are nothing new. as we see by the marine fossilft found on Die tops of the Rockies, Andes and other moun- j tain ranges. The Dtluge of the Future. So, within 30.H00 or 40.0UU year* | there will tie another deluge. Salt wa ter will sweep over the continentaF leaving only the higher land dry Holland will be iuyindated. Kish will swim in Buckingham palace and West minster ahtiey. for most of England will lie beneath the w’aves. The Des ert of Sahara will he a great Inland j sea. What is now New York will be marked by the up|ier stories and tow ers of Die taller skyscruiiers as they Jut out of the water. In an inundation which would thus chance geography and which would be accompanied by a rise In tempera ture. the climate would return to what fl was when dinosaur* roamed the earth and dense Jungle* of dank, gi gantic ferns grew in what are now Pennsylvania and Canada. Palms and alligators xvoulri flourish at the poles as they did millions of years ago. What will become of man if climat ic conditions are thus changed? Ice sheets In high latitudes produce strong contrasts in temperatures between the polar and equatorial regions. Winds, storms, weather that changes from day to day are the result. Man flour ishes under such conditions. K, the torrid zone were to become even mb^e torrid than it is, and if what are no frozen tracts around the North and South poles are to bear sub-tropical life, man’s 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 meji that once flour ished 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. It Is a question If he will survive it.
