Show SAYS NORTH POLE WOBBLES Prof. Garrett P. Serviss Declares "Big Nail" Is Seldom Twice In Same Place. New York. It will be news to many people that the north and south poles ire seldom twice In the same place. Prof. Garrett P. Serviss states that the earth wobbles, and consequently the position of the poles is constantly shifting. That this is the case is proved says he professor, by the fact that the polar regions were once inhabited by tropical trop-ical forms of life. From this he argues O I t 3 4 I that the two poles were once on the equator, and the equator once ran through the two poles. The fact that the earth's axis Is constantly con-stantly shifting means that neither of the poles remains always in the Bam place. Thus there is a possibility that Dne expedition will find the pole at one place In one year, and another will find It in another place the next year. Our map shows Professor ServlBB' estimation of the various positions occupied oc-cupied by the north pole during the last ten years. |
