Threatened Peril from the Antarctic

(London Daily Express)

We ar© momenlarilf tbreatpned with a great gkctal deioge Bo cays Ibe eutnent geologist, Mr Leon Lawi«, and he claims to be no alarmist Hi» Uteifc work is er.title'3 'The Oreftt Olaclftl Deioge and its impend ing Keoorraace,' and so it he shows j (bat the inevitable disraption of ihe fifty million cable miles of ie« which coup the South Pole tans.t result in a wild rash of the fragments, with ill the'.weten which enrround it, tow rda the North Pole, by w*y of the Atlan tic Ocoao, ©no of. .the incidental' c-fleets' being that wo shall b@ iceboand in Sog!*nd; Not only does the scientist lay thesn 'disftgreeable thing?, but, as though.our. sluggish flesh refused to dfeep at sach raggeetiong of peril, he eooily invokes aa proofs of his theories jkboßt of remarkable and oadonbted facts The situation tarns it appears, upon alleged migrations and cataolyems of the ocean which have come again and again in the world*a hißtory, and this awful natural phenomenon is again due THE BEGINNING OP THE TROUBLE Indeed, at any momeut a cablegram from Monte "Video or Baenoa A.yres may feell tas that the great glacial de lage is on Its way northward ho ! There are no rains nor thaws at the South Pole, so that all the snow that falls almost constantly is converted into ice under pressure, and the whole tnaßß thickens and widens constantly, despite the losses to which it is sub jected by the breaking off of the j immense tabular icebergs which have presented themselves to the notice of Lord Kelvin and all navigators in those regions The waters of the sarroandicg seas are below the freezing ipta^ as wag first noted by the f ahious circamnivi- j gator, Captain Cook ; and hence there j 'is ft constant accretion from this source j to the vast bulk resulting from the ua woo ted snowfall And toow, what are the consequences ! o! this state of things I Why, during many thousands of years the go-called " Antarctic Continent,' or " ice cap," which is simply a huge mountain of ice, hue been getting bigger and bigger, oatil it ia now aa large as North Ame rica, and 3s estimated to possess a sur face of eight million equate miles. Dt Oroll (' Olimate and Time') and Mr H B Morton (' Popular Science Monthly,' October, 1879) speak of it as being 2800 or 3000 miles in diamater. From a thickness of two or three miles at its edges tha slope of this ico continent aaoenrlg gradually to the centre at the pole, where, it is esti mated by Dr Gross and many others, the ice is at least twelve miles thick, and is moro likely fifteen or twenty. The total bulk of this great accumu lation, therefore, cannot be less than fifty million cubic miles of ice. During the whole period of its growth, say twenty-five thousand years, i or ever since the latest of these i-pcur- I rent Hoods, this vast ice continent has been drawing the ocean from the Nor-! them Hemisphere across the Equator into the Southern. This oibvement, says Mr Lewis, accounts for the present situation of affairs—the land in the Northern Hemisphere and the. water in the Southern ; the flooding of the Southern Hemisphere and the draining of the Northern. This migration of the waters south ward has kept pace perfectly wish the growth of the ica cap, and the conse quence is that three-fifths of the waters of the globe have been drawn almost a mile to the aontbward of the earth's former centre of gravity, and •re held in this pree*rious position by the gravitational "poll 1* of the continent —literally suspended almost a milo abov© our heads—in readiness to be let back upoK our low lying lands Kb any mom en U Our situation aa residents of the Northern Hemisphere is not meroly preotriosß—it is one of the nrst peril" out that can ever metrioe as. AI! there is between us and destruction, says Mr Lewis, is the cohesion of these 60,000,000 cubic miles of ice.

THE INEVITABLE, Just co long as the great ice cap at si the South Pole remtlne whole just go long will things remain as they now dire, with the present distribution of hod and sea. But the instant the ice cap ig broken up that instant fie are lost. The disruption of the ice cap will cause the "pull" of gravitation to be iuituntly transferred to the northern balf of oar globe, and the fragments of tfieiceop, with all the waters which have been drawn around it, will enter immediately upon a wild rush for the North Pole by way of the Atlantic. There Is sure to come a time eooa whso the eolbeoion of this great ice mountain will be subjected to a strain it CASiQot poeisib'y resist. No one an say how noon the event will take place, but it is just te cure to come in the near future, says Mr Lewie, tg thai two and two make four. But why would this glacial deluge come up the Atlantic ? Because the gravitational • pall' of the whole world has bold of it; because the line of dis ruption 48 midway between the (Jape of Good Hope aod Oape Horn, and for forty other reasons given by Mr Lewis; bat into which we need not enter,

A GLOOM? OUTLOOK, In coming away from the South Pole the hoge icebergs of the flood tear tremendous farrows in the floor of the ocean, and these farrows have been discovered by recent explorers. Grinding along the coast of Brazil, the deluge would cross the Equator, reaching the eoasfe of Africa at Cape Verdp. Here it wanld be subjected to "such a ' pall' from the Eastern Hemis phere fib at it would hug the coasts of Nopth«west Africa and Western Europe overwhelming Great Britain, Jutland, fcba Netherlands, South Eastern Swe den, Finland, and North Western Kasoia, mnd destroying all life and all the works of human hands throughout those regions. Bor this alone; for when the Hood reaches tbe northernmost regions It will he turned back again, and we shall be subjected to a second doee of glacial flooding. Indeed the whole of the Northern Hemisphere will be buried beneath hundreds of fathoms of water tod ice. "
