or in the orbit which our planet pursues in her regular, and yet eccentric, flight through space.

We have many geological evidences that a long cold period has occurred in the northern and southern hemispheres, and that during the last extension of the northern ice sheet, the British istands were fully enclosed as far south as within twenty miles of Plymouth. The reasons for these cold and hot periods, Da. CuOLL has found in the eccentricity of the earth's orbit; he assumes there are certain periods in the history of the earth when for a spell of 10,000 years the northern hemisphere is warmer then the southern, and rice wisu. DR. CROLL has [ calculated that about 250,000 years ago this eccentricity of the orbit was at its highest, so that a cycle of recurring cold and warm epochs in either hemisphere

HONGKONG, MONDAY, JULY 16, 1888.,

To create the Saharan Sea" is not an old idea; „mither is it a very modern one, but it- has come to the front once more in scientific circles in france, where the public men of the present generation appear to be afflicted, more than was ever before known in their history, with the awkward and troublesome ich, of unrest. The daring and high-toneridea of Blooding the great African desert with what they call a new sea---what they proposed to call the Lussop's Son à few years ago-but which there are many geographical reasons for supposing would simply be the replacement of a very old, šen, in the heart of Africa, was first conceived by Fernisand pe Læssers when he was a young member of the Frerich diplomatic expr in Tunis, some sixty years ago, or mare. It happened to him then, as it has occurred to so many people who create ideas, that his friends were to guide him a few of them said, if you want to do something really useful to the world, begin first with joining the seas of the eastern and western world by putting through the Egyptlan desert. With regard to the Sahara, it was the opinion of M. ELSER RECLUS, that at one period in the world's, history the desert was covered with a great salt water lake; possessing all the attributes of a sea, which exercise a great influence upon the temperature of France, 'as comparatively cold-or at any rate cool-winds blew over it, while now thr winds which prevail in that great sandly expanse are of a much higher temperature, and indeed are some- times suffocatingly hot. The appearance of the desert seems to support the theory of Rectus, that it was at one time the bed of a sea of considerable extent, of which the great inland African lakes, recently. discovered, are possibly the remains. The present vast extent and configuration of the African continent, would also appear to it comprised a less area of land than support the conclusion that at one time it does at present. The question which has lately been troubling scientific men in France, assuming that the theory of RECLUS he correct, is-what will be the effect of the creation and existence of another, African sea in the place of that which has disappeared by the evaporating heat of the sun? That the temperature of France, and possibly of Great Britain, would be radically changed we can hardly believe to he possible. They suppose

that the temperature would be seriously
