Show SCIENCE FORECASTS NEXT GREAT DELUGE Melting Polar Ice Caps to Cause Inundations. RAIL FARES Wu.shingion We Ftlll speak of the Ke as If It belonged to the geologltal past. Geologists have reached the conclusion that there were several Ice ages. What la more, the last Ice At;e, known as the qualeruury, la only about half over, despite our blistering summers. Ktenial Ice or eternal snow are figments of the poetic imagination. Vet, slowly the great Ice sheets in the Arctic and Antarctic regions are melting and pouring their torrents Into the oceans. The ae are way DOWN Unusual Travel Bargains the earth must Inevitably change its aspect and Its climate. How the change Is slowly taking place and what the result will he has been considered by such able geologists, physicists and meteorlogists as 1rof.

Alfred Wegener and his ifut companions. Glacial Sheets Reduced by Half. The glacial sheets that now cover the North and South poles were once 12.0)0, Q0 square miles in extent-m- ore 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 (500,000 square miles. The lee on Greenland alone Is ten times vaster than the area of the State of New York. echo Wegeners soundings showed that it Is over 0.000 leet tlihk near the center of the Island and about 4.000 feet thick near the edges of the bowl over which It spills. Here, then, we have enough Ice to provide a layer of water one mile thick over mum pacofoc The Overland Route uca ? cOQDQS? nifiQAYlHQ!

The earth is steadily growing wurrn-erAs all the Ice at the two poles melts a stupendous volume of water will be released. Professor David con servatlvely estimates that the sea level will rise TO feet. Professor Mein ardus doubles that estimate. Doctor Humphreys, with the studies of Byrd and Wegener before him, believes tliul the rise will be 151 feet. Such floods are nothing new, as we see by the marine fossils found on the tops of the Rockies, Andes and other moun tain ranges. The Deluge of the Future. So, within 150, ooo or 40,oo years there will be another deluge. Suit water will sweep over the continents, leaving only the higher land dry. Holland will he Inundated. Fish will swim In P.uekinglmm palace and Westminster abbey, for most of England will lie beneath the waves. The Desert of Sahara will be a great Inland . What Is now New York will be marked by the npper 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 a rise In temperature, the climate would return to what Is was when dinosuiirs roamed the earth and dense Jungles of dank, gi gantle 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 If climatic conditions are thus changed? Ice sheets In high latitudes produce strong contrasts In temperatures between the polar and equatorial regions. Winds, storma, weather that changes from day to day are the result Man flour 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 subtropical life, mans food supply will not he what It la now. Prof. O. S. Simpson of the British meteorological office has advanced the theory that Chellean. Mousterian ami other races of men that once flour lahed la southern Europe were wiped out because the climate changed and that inedible vermin took the plane of the animals that were hunted. No one can tell what may happen If a new carbonlfero'cg era should follow the warming of the earth. Man Is about aa old as the present Ice age. It Is a question If he will survive It.
